Character deaths suck.
It's so freaking sad when the character who died is someone like Kakashi. To make matters worse, he's one of my favourite characters.
But it's true, he doesn't have much of a purpose anymore, after Sasuke left. It's a good way to go, that Kakashi, dying in a war against Pein and at the same time protecting his village.
Or what's left of it.
I'm practically expecting Tsunade to die now, from that panel with Sakura holding her -suddenly old and wrinkly- hand like it was going to break anytime.
Hell, I'm even waiting for SASUKE'S death. From the way everything's going, Naruto's going to be losing a hell lot of people. He already lost over half his freakin' village.
Sasuke's probably gonna die a tragic hero or something, since there's already nothing frickin' left to destroy of Konoha, and he'd die a savior protecting Naruto or some shit. And Sakura would probably go along with him because, like, if Sasuke dies, it's only naturally that Sakura would die along with him.
Pssh. I bet Kichimoto created so many bloody characters just so he could kill them off, one by one.
Grr. I hate goodbyes.
