Don’t we all know Naruto is famous for a lot of things? The growth arcs, character histories, OSTs, openings, and endings are only a few of the many excellent qualities of the epic storylines. The deaths of so many wonderful characters added to the sadness and epicness of the narrative. If you’ve seen Naruto, you’ll know that there are a lot of deaths that made us weep. We were all of the opinions that things should not have turned out this way. So, in today’s piece, we’ll go through the top ten most brutal deaths in the Naruto series.
The deaths in the Naruto series made a lot of differences, and major plots were based on deaths. Some death led to the whole plot of a side character.

Haku and Zabuza
The list begins with the Naruto Series’ first-ever antagonists. Zabuza was a mercenary, and he was accompanied by a lovely young man named Haku. These two demonstrated how arduous the road of the shinobi is in the Naruto universe. Despite the fact that they were villains, their deaths were heartbreaking and demonstrated how brutal the ninja combat is in the Naruto series, and the consequences are severe.
During the battle, Naruto transforms into one tail mode and almost kills Haku. However, Kakashi’s blow, which was intended for Zabuza, pierced Haku as he sprang in to defend Zabuza. In addition, Zaubuza was Killed by the people who hired him. The latter asked to be buried beside Haku while finding redemption and hopefully be with Haku even in the afterlife.
Uchiha Clan Massacare
What could be more heinous than genocide against a certain race? The night in the Uchiha clan, which appeared to be another calm night, was interrupted by a blow that wiped off the whole Uchiha clan, including all women and children, leaving nothing except a brother. This has been one of the most brutal deaths in the Naruto series. It’s much more awful to think that a thirteen-year-old had to murder his parents.
The killing of the Uchiha Clan resulted in one of Naruto’s most significant narrative revelations. All of this had been done in order to avoid a civil war that would result in even more deaths. It was between murdering a tiny segment of the population or starting a conflict in the hamlet that would last years.
Gaara
If you recall correctly, Gaara died at the beginning of Naruto Shippuden. Deidara and Sasori abducted Gaara and took the one-tailed beast Shakaku from him. A jinchuriki, or a human with a tail beast inside them, would die if the beast tail was removed. The technique is cruel since it tortures the jinchuriki’s body and drains all of their chakras, leaving them dead. Aside from being brutal, it was one of Naruto’s most stunning deaths, as Gaara was a fan favorite. Despite the fact that we all know that Gaara did not die because of grandma Chiyo of the Sound Village. Granny Chiyo used her own life chakra to bring Gaara back from the brink of death.
Jiraya
The fact that Jiraya was assassinated by his own student adds to the brutality and tragedy of his death. He was stabbed numerous times in the back and drowned in the sea while he pondered what his newest disciple Naruto would do. Despite his death, he managed to leave a message that would warn the Konoha village and aid in the destruction of the Pain’s true body. Jiraya was a master to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, the three war children. He trained them and assisted them in surviving the war’s consequences.
The three pupils formed a pact to create a more peaceful and violet-free society and founded the organization “Akatsuki.” Despite this, Akatsuki became a terrorist organization under the influence of Obito. Jiraya’s death was hinted at by the time he departed Konoha village and the chat he had with Tsunade. Jiraya was murdered by his own student, Nagato Uzumaki, before he could even speak about it.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi
If we’re talking about pupils murdering their own professors, we could recall the Third Hokage’s demise. The death of a Hokage is significant because it is one of the most powerful people in the community and serves as a guide to the rest of the villagers. What began as an exam turned into a brawl between a former instructor and a student. Hirzuzen Sarutobi was a renowned senin who trained Jiraya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.
The conflict between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage was taking place in the trap set up by the sound four shinobi. Although, technically, Orochimaru did not murder the third Hokage because his death was caused by a forbidden Jutsu that locks the chakra of the person. The procedure is harsh because, in exchange for sealing one’s chakra, one must sacrifice his life. The death of Sarutobi was one of the most brutal and shocking in the Naruto series.

Itachi
Itachi’s death was brutal since he died with most people, including us and Sasuke, unaware of his true identity. It was surprising to see Itachi die when he clearly had the upper hand in the combat with Sasuke. Itachi was a kid genius who recognized what was right from an early age. He was the Hokage we didn’t want but had deserved.
Itachi had one of the most difficult lives in the Naruto series, suffering from a long-term sickness, sacrificing so much, murdering his parents, and even having his young brother loathe him, whom he adored. We might say that, aside from being brutal since no one knew what he did, his death was a comfort so that he could rest easy and not worry.
Hatake Sakumo
Suicide is one of the most brutal ways to die. Because resenting oneself so much that you saw no other option than to commit suicide is the most horrible thing in the world. Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi’s father, died by suicide, one of Naruto’s most brutal deaths. Once on a mission, Hatake Sakumo abandoned it in order save the life of his comrades. This incurred the anger of the Konoha village inhabitants, and he was dishonored for his actions on the mission. Even by the very people he saved. Sakumo started getting depressed, and eventually, he killed himself.
Hidan
I hope you remember this immortal character who had one of the most brutal deaths in naruto. In reality, he was buried alive rather than dead. Many people would agree that being buried alive is one of the most terrible things that can happen to a person. Hidan is a member of the Akatsuki and established a duet with Kakuza. They were dubbed the “immortal combo” for a variety of reasons. Hidan is an arrogant and impetuous fighter who prefers to pray to his deity Jashin above everything else. Shikamaru pledged to destroy this immortal fool after murdering Asuma and ultimately buried his head underground.
Rin
One of the worst things that may happen is for them to kill their own pals. What’s more, Madara fabricated the entire death so that he could lead Obito along his path. The secret mist village shinobi kidnapped her and implanted the Three Beast Tail, Isobu, as part of Madara’s plot. The objective was that after Rin was rescued and returned to Konoha village, the beast tail would go rogue and create havoc in the hamlet. Rin sacrificed herself up as Kakashi severed her heart. This situation led to many bad things later on in the series. Obito starting the fourth great ninja war is one of the few examples.
Minato and Kushina
Minato and Kushina’s deaths, along with Jiraya and Itachi’s, are among the saddest events in Naruto. During Kushina’s labor, Obito spotted an opportunity and unleashed Kurama the Nine Tail Beast, wreaking havoc on Konoha Village. Minato faced Obito, and with the assistance of Kushina, both were able to defeat Obito and put an end to the nine tail creatures.
However, it cost a lot to stop them. As Minato and Kushina were impaled with Kurama’s claw while protecting their newborn son Naruto. This was one of the brutal deaths in Naruto as they had to see their newborn baby while coughing up blood and sealing the beast within the new child.
