There has been a lot of speculation that Naruto will die in the end, however I think he will live and these are my reasons:
1. So many characters have died for Naruto's sake, Minato, Kushina, Konan, Neji, and Nagato. It would be an insult to them if they died for nothing.
2. The famous line that has been said so many times in the series "I won't die until I become Hokage." Why would Kishi do this and have Naruto die in the end? It wouldn't make sense.
3. This is a Shonen Jump manga and it is exceptionally rare that the hero of the story dies in a Shonen Jump manga, in fact I only know of one where the hero died and STAYED dead.
4. Yes this is a kids manga contrary to popular belief, Kishi SAID his target audience was children. And there are very few childrens stories where the hero dies in the end.
5. The whole conversation with Neji before he died, he openly told Naruto that his life wasn't his own. Kurama openly pointed out he was with him as well. So Naruto is responsible for more than just his own life, if he dies he will essentially be killing Kurama as well. Essentially he would be killing a comrade, which Naruto has always been against.
Reasons he might die:
1. His conversation with Sasuke about both of them dieing together.
So far I have only seen one thing that could possibly imply Naruto not surviving, while I see a great deal of reasons for why he will live. So I think he will live, what are your thoughts?
