## Summary

In this video, the creator ranks the character deaths in Naruto on a tier list, sharing her personal emotional reactions to each loss. She discusses which deaths made her cry, which felt like fake-outs, and why some backstory deaths didn't hit as hard. The video is a spoiler-heavy, heartfelt reaction to the series' most tragic moments.

## Transcript

I did it. I finished Naruto. to the channel and to another video. I have my Kakashi shirt on. I just got
see the back. Here, let me let me model the back for you. Woo! can see that, but anyway, and boy oh boy, I just finished Naruto about a week
ago. I have a lot of thoughts and I am probably going to make some more videos probably going to make some more videos on it, but I had to talk about what got me so emotional in the show, and that of course are the character deaths. So,
naturally today we are going to be ranking on a tier list all the character record, I'm just going to throw out there my knowledge of Naruto is the one watch through, skipping filler, and the tier list that I'm using was a pre-made
one, so if there are deaths that are missing from this, I'm so sorry. I just it didn't resonate with me and wasn't here. But honestly, some of them got to me pretty hard, so I'm really excited to relive this trauma with all of you. But
video, but before we do, don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the If you are new to the channel, I do make a lot of Demon Slayer content, but I am introducing a lot more animes, of course, Naruto. So, if you are
journeys, [music] including One Piece, yep, yep, One Piece subscribe [music] button. But with that, let's get into it. Okay, we got Oh, they
got even the death fake outs on here. Okay, forgive me. I'm like, I don't remember them dying, and I think it might be because it was a fake out and then they didn't actually die, but I think I remember every single
one of these. So, starting out with the characters from the very first season of I don't remember their names. It's been a minute, [music] okay? So, this one was, I think, a good starting point, kind of telling us as an audience
that these villains, you know, it might get emotional, we might understand their story a little bit better than a lot of other shows might do, but I also found myself kind of like, okay, whatever, like it it was sad. It wasn't bad, it
wasn't like, oh my god, I'm going to cry my eyes out. I'm going to I'm going to put it in sad because it did definitely establish the show as like, okay, the villains are people who maybe are just as messed up from the war as everyone
else. Kisame. Um I didn't like him. I I didn't I didn't like him when he died. I might have said, thank god. &gt;&gt; [laughter]
&gt;&gt; So, he can go there. He had an interesting enough story. I just didn't really care for him. So many of the Akatsuki were so interesting and had such interesting stories, and he was one of them, but it just didn't speak to me
like some of the others. [music] So, yeah, that one and thank god. Okay, this is a fake out. So, I think I talked a little bit about this when I did I did make a video about the Pain Arc when I was still doing like arc to arc reviews,
which I stopped doing after not long after that because it kind of just got into the Fourth Great Ninja War, and there wasn't really a good stopping place. So, I do [music] intend to make more videos about my thoughts on things,
but that might be like a Patreon exclusive, we'll see. But anyway, I remember watching the Pain Arc, and this all went down with Kakashi, and I was just [music] in complete disbelief. One, because I was like, there's no way
they're killing off Kakashi. I I didn't think the show would go that route. And think the show would go that route. And two, I hadn't seen pictures of him two, I hadn't seen pictures of him as Hokage. So, obviously, during the
&gt;&gt; [laughter] &gt;&gt; So, I was going back and forth on wondering if that was fan art that I saw, or if it was just that I had gotten spoiled that he wasn't going to actually die during this arc. Now, granted, he
did die, he like kind of went to the afterlife, but then Nagato brought everyone who like he killed off back to life, so it was a fake out. I never got
emotional because I was in disbelief. I didn't think he was actually dead. I was like, nope, there's no way he's going to survive this. I was right. But because of that, I have to just put it in sad because it
did make me tear up when he got to talk to his dad, and he kind of was able to I don't know how to word it. Like, he was able to finally get the words out that he had been wanting to say since he was a kid because obviously he didn't get to
talk to his dad after his dad died. Obviously, that's how it works. But I think that Kakashi's character changed a lot after this because he was able to kind of get it all out in the air, and his dad was then able to also go like
fully to the afterlife and to Kakashi's mom, which we never really learned about. But that part made me emotional, but I never was like, oh my wasn't. &gt;&gt; [laughter]
&gt;&gt; So, that'll go in sad. If he had actually died, I would have quit he's my favorite character. So, that I'm I I own two No, I own three Naruto shirts. Two of
them are Kakashi, one of them have Naruto. So, anyway, if you want to know know, I'll make a tier list. I've already done one from the original series. I need to do one now from Shippuden as well. But I would have quit
the show if he had died, but because he came back, it was just sad because he came back, it was just sad because he got to talk to his dad and stuff. I Who is this? I honestly don't know who this is.
I did skip all of it but Kakashi backstory. So, I'm going to put that in meh cuz I don't even remember. Okay. We have the first one that absolutely wrecked me. Asuma. I didn't care for his character
that much. I'm not going to lie, like he was kind of someone who wasn't really on my radar for most of the story. He was just kind of the the teacher of Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru, but he didn't have much character to me, so I was just kind
of like meh with him. And then when this arc started, which was the Hidan and Kakuzu arc, they started really honing in on him and what he was doing and his
title, and I was like, he's going to die. Like, I immediately knew. I've seen that writing. I've watched enough anime. I know Naruto is an old anime that follows a lot of those tried-and-true tropes. I knew he was going to die, but
tropes. I knew he was going to die, but what got me was more Shikamaru than anything else because Shikamaru, at that point in the story, actually he surpassed Kakashi for a moment, became my favorite because the way he took down
I believe it was Hidan he took down. The way he put him in the ground, literally, that was so cold. That was one of the coldest moments in anime I've ever seen, and I was like, I He was my favorite until Kakashi like
right after that, and I was like, oh, Kakashi's back. Shikamaru's reaction, and Choji, and Ino, but specifically Shikamaru, because when it comes to character deaths for me, the emotions I feel tend to be how the
characters around react rather than just the death of the character. I am a sympathetic crier. I am someone who will hold it together until people start crying. Like, if I'm at a funeral, I'll hold it together until someone gets up
much they loved this person, then I'm crying because they're crying and I'm empathetic crier, I'm a sympathy crier. So, Asuma himself, the character, was
show with a lot of characters that I didn't like really mind if he lived or died. It was the reaction of those around him and everything he did for them in that final arc for him. Oh my goodness, that got to me. So, Asuma is
goodness, that got to me. So, Asuma is actually going to be my first I had to pause the TV because there were multiple times I did watch this in sub. I watch all of my anime in sub. My tears were blurring the subtitles.
So, obviously, I had to pause it because I don't know Japanese that well. I am studying it, but I am not that proficient at it to be able to just tell subtitles. I hope to get there someday, but yeah, my tears were definitely
blurring the subtitles. I had to pause in order to get the cry out and then move on with my life. So, that one was tough. Rin. Okay, there was a lot of mystery around her death for quite a while. First, for the longest time, all
we knew is that she died because we got Kakashi's quick little backstory, you know, right after the Asuma arc, where we learned about Obito and Rin, and obviously, we saw Obito die. Plot twist, he didn't actually die. in that
backstory, but we didn't know how Rin died. All we knew is that present day, couldn't protect her. And then finally, after it's revealed that the guy in the mask was not Madara, it was Obito, we finally see that
Kakashi killed Rin. And then it took them forever to really explain what like she was kidnapped by a village that was an enemy of Hidden Leaf, and they were trying to make her, I believe, into a Jin Chuuriki for them and she
sacrificed herself to protect the Hidden Leaf, which is a very common theme in the show, by the way. That, I definitely cried. I did not have to pause the TV I It's kind of like Kanae from Demon
Slayer. She serves as a backstory plot device. She alone doesn't really have anything to do with the progression of the story. She serves as development for
That's kind of how I see how her That's just the way stories are written is that there's some characters that only live within the realm of a backstory. They're dead present day. So,
I have you know, been living the story where she is dead the entire time. Therefore, when I find out how she died, it's not as emotional. However, how it's not as emotional. However, how Obito responded and how we know that it
Obito responded and how we know that it haunted Kakashi for so freaking long, I will put this in I cried a lot because I did. I definitely cried quite a bit for that one. So, I will definitely put that
there. It just didn't get to me like a character present day dying. character present day dying. Is that Genma?
thank god when he died? No. It wasn't like a celebratory death, but it wasn't like sad to me.
He had an interesting story. Again, all most of the Akatsuki were very most of the Akatsuki were very characters. But, Sasori was kind of annoying. Like he honestly was kind of annoying the way the puppet worked and
how borderline he was kind of immortal, same with Hidan. I'm surprised Hidan and Kakuzu aren't on on here. There's definitely random deaths that aren't on here, which is interesting, but oh well. I'm putting this one in meh because
I didn't really care for him that much. He had an interesting story. That's He had an interesting story. That's about it. Third Hokage, aka Hiruzen. I didn't care for this guy. I think he did what he thought was right, but a lot of
it was manipulative and I don't think he was good as a leader. I don't think he was ever ready to be Hokage. That was one of the things that Danzo was right one of the things that Danzo was right about is that I don't think Hiruzen was
that good of a Hokage. But, that being said, I did tear up when they like did his funeral and stuff, which again is because I'm tearing up for the characters who are sad about it, not because I'm sad he died. Like he was
Orochimaru, I was like this guy's going to die. Like there's no way. So, I'm putting that in sad because like I teared up a little bit and that's that's teared up a little bit and that's that's about it. Okay. This death was
would I call it a turning point in the show for me watching? No, but holy moly. for the record,
showing and if you can't if you're not paying attention to what I'm talking about here, I'm talking about Itachi. So, the picture that it has there is his So, the picture that it has there is his like first original death. My tears for
Itachi came after this. My tears for Itachi came when they were explaining his story because of course, we didn't get the explanation of his story until after he died. And then my second round of tears for Itachi was when he died
like the second time when he was reanimated and he was telling Sasuke, I will always love you like forever and he instead of tapping his forehead like put his head to Oh my goodness. If this picture was that, I'd make a new tier
&gt;&gt; [laughter] &gt;&gt; So, in the context of specifically his first death, like when he officially died the first time, happened because my brain was still like he's a villain.
I did start to see, you know, the narrative of maybe that wasn't all that was happening there during that fight, but I I didn't really quite see it, of course, until it was presented to me by nice fun exposition. So, for the sake of
how emotional I've been over Itachi, Itachi is probably one of the characters I'm the most emotional about in the story and have had the most emotional interesting is they killed him off first, then afterwards we got all kinds
of really emotional storytelling about him. For those of you who haven't been with me on my Naruto journey, when I talked about this arc where he died, that arc, which had three little mini arcs, it was Kakashi backstory, it was
Jiraiya's fight and death, and Itachi's death and truth, you know, coming out I gave that arc a 10 out of 10. I had nothing wrong with it. It was literal perfection. I didn't even give the Pain
arc a 10 out of 10. The reason I'm saying this is because I have to put Itachi in I had to pause the TV just because the specific moment here that he died, I wasn't like that emotional. Everything that came after
had me like not just pausing the TV cuz I couldn't read the subtitles, pausing the TV cuz I had to take a break. Because it was making me so emotional. These characters got to me, we'll just say. So, I did have to put that in the
top because I feel like anything less than that doesn't do justice the emotions I have felt towards this character throughout the story. Yahiko. This was pretty sad. You know, the whole backstory of Pain and Nagato and Konan
and everything that they went through, I going into Naruto had heard the term talk no jutsu. I knew that there was going to be some fights that were going fully prepared for that and I was fully
did. This fight and conversation between Nagato and Naruto and the explanation of what happened to the three of them, how they
were Jiraiya's students, how there were those connections, really got to me because the way Yahiko died in this backstory backstory was about just as bad as Rin. I think I
I think I have to put this next to Rin because again, Yahiko is a character that only lives within the realm of backstory and once again, just the way my brain works, those characters I tend to not get as emotional about when I see
how they died because I already knew they had died. But, the way they were they had died. But, the way they were betrayed, the way that he sacrificed himself so that the others would live and that kind of setting off Nagato down
the path that he went that he was only able to back away from once he spoke to Naruto and they were able to see eye to eye, that whole storyline, beautiful. I talking about how Kishimoto must have had his pen was on fire for like those
back-to-back arcs that really started with Hidan and Kakuzu with Asuma's death and then moving into the arc about Itachi and Kakashi's backstory and Jiraiya and then into the Pain arc. All three of those arcs were just banger
after banger, high nines or 10s. Unfortunately, the arc after that was kind of a letdown because of it, but it had big shoes to fill. So, I'm going to put Yahiko in I cried a lot because I definitely did. I felt that it was such
a painful pun intended backstory because Naruto as a story does just a really good job of explaining the nuance of war
and how everybody is a victim in this. Obito. and he started fighting for them after Naruto again talk no jutsu'd with him, I
Naruto again talk no jutsu'd with him, I wanted so bad for him to live and for him and Kakashi to be friends again. It's what Kakashi did like he needed. He needed that. This is after like learning about all of Kakashi's backstory and all
of the pain that he's gone through in his life and for him to have to fight him knowing that it was his best friend and then for him to come back to their side kind of and to sacrifice himself, did I have to pause the TV? No, but I
definitely cried a lot. It definitely got me. I wanted so bad for him to live, but it wasn't absolutely like stomach-turning painful crying. It was just a man, I
really wanted him to be able to live next to Kakashi and they could have been good, but I also understand the narrative of him sacrificing himself and not surviving this because of everything that he did that was bad and wrong. He
killed people, you know. Ah, but I did cry a lot. Jiraiya. I don't think this needs an explanation. This I have to put ahead of Asuma and Itachi because
So, I'm literally like thinking about it and being like &gt;&gt; I, first of all, love Jiraiya as a character. I did actually get spoiled on before I even got to Shippuden. I think I was
spoiled that he died not long after I started the original series in general. I knew it was coming, but that doesn't change the fact that I was hiccuping, full weeping on the couch, pausing, texting
my friends going, "I don't know what I'm doing. Why am I watching this show?" And then to top it all off, the aftermath with Naruto being on another mission and Jiraiya's spirit like touching his
shoulder and and Naruto feeling it right after we watch him die. God damn. God damn. Why? Why must he do that to me? And then like Naruto kind of having to deal with losing him afterwards when that was his teacher. Like he has a very
special relationship with Kakashi, but his relationship with Jiraiya was I think even more special because he had spent so much time just with Jiraiya like years with just him and learning from him.
And goodness gracious, I loved Jiraiya as a character, too, so I was sad that he died because I wanted to see more of him. I was sad for Tsunade when they showed her like have to go like find herself a quiet spot to sob. I was like,
&gt;&gt; [gasps] &gt;&gt; I can't do that kind of stuff. I can't do it. I just can't do it. So, that goes into the the highest I everything that's on the board right now.
And I don't really have anything else to add because I don't know if you can turning red because I'm like actually somewhat fighting back tears talking about this. So, we're going to move on. I don't even remember this guy's name. I
I was like, "Oh, thank god." So, I'll put it in meh. Um okay, Ino and Shikamaru's dads. This was pretty sad.
I liked them as characters. And I like their children, obviously, but I felt like because this one happened just in the middle of the war, it felt very just like, "Okay." Like yeah, they had
to say goodbye. Like there there was no choice but to die because where they to get out of there fast enough. So, that was sad. I don't I I can't really that was sad. I don't I I can't really put it in I cried a lot because I I
didn't quite get the feeling that I have for the three that are in I cried a lot, so it has to just kind of be somewhere in the middle. Konan actually somewhere in the middle. Konan actually made me mad. I was mad that she died. I
made me mad. I was mad that she died. I wanted her to join up with the Hidden Leaf Village or at least with Naruto. And like I was mad that she was just kind of doing her own thing. I mean, for the record, I understand why
she didn't stay. Like she still wanted to be in the village hidden in rain. Like that makes sense that she wanted to be where she was from and protect them trying to do. They were trying to protect their homeland
in the way that they thought they could. And then when Nagato, you know, gave his life to bring back everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village and Konan was like, "I'm now like your ally." I wanted her to have more of a story. And I think it
made me mad because I felt like so many of the other characters that had this redemption and kind of turned good had more story than her. Like she just left she died. &gt;&gt; [laughter]
&gt;&gt; And you know, I really liked that fight. She was super badass in it and super strong, but I definitely was upset. Did I cry? lot because I was definitely crying, but I was genuinely upset that she died cuz
learn more about her and I wanted to see her fight in the Fourth Great Ninja War her fight in the Fourth Great Ninja War along with the Allied Shinobi and it just felt a little I don't I don't even know how to word it. Like it just felt a
little bit disappointing. She was such a badass in this fight and she was doing homeland and he just showed up and killed her. And I was like, "Okay, fine." Shisui. Is that Shisui? I think that's Shisui. Um we saw this happen at
least six times in the anime. So, honestly, it got a little disappointing again, not as sad as like Yahiko or Obito.
And also within the realm of backstory, I'm going to put this one in sad because again, sad. Did I cry? No. I did not cry. I can't put it in meh like that's sad how that all went down." And of course, it was a part of Itachi's
And of course, it was a part of Itachi's story that gets to me like none other, story that gets to me like none other, but it was sad. Nagato, I don't know how to feel about his actual death. I like that he sacrificed himself to
save everyone that he killed, essentially, in the Hidden Leaf Village. But I wasn't necessarily like sad that he died. I was like, "Okay, good for him." You know, like it was the ultimate sacrifice after he realized what he was
thinking was flawed and what he was doing was wrong. So, I think I need to put Nagato also in sad because I didn't cry over it. I was more tearing up over &gt;&gt; [laughter] &gt;&gt; Including Kakashi, obviously, finally
arc because I was still sitting there like, "How the heck how the heck is he going to survive this?" Because he's dead. Like he ran out of chakra. He died. So, I was too busy being thankful that
Kakashi was alive to care a ton. Like Nagato's story was beautiful and that whole back and forth was amazing. It was beautifully written, beautifully done, super emotional, but when it comes to his death specifically, it was just more
of a "Okay, like that that seems like the right thing for him to do." Neji. Neji was like the last death, wasn't it? I feel like it was like the last major character death. I was pretty sad about this. I didn't like Neji in the original
series. He was like a bully to Hinata who was way younger than him and it just seemed very like misogynistic the way he was acting towards her. I did not like his way of thinking of being like, "If you're not born with talent, you'll
never get anywhere." And I know that obviously he grew from that and that's character development and I like that. Um so, I definitely loved him a lot more in Shippuden. The problem is I feel like once he kind of learned that his way of
thinking was flawed and he was like someone that I could get behind, I didn't see much out of him. Like he was just kind of around a little bit, but there wasn't much to his story after that. So, I couldn't like love him
the way I loved a lot of the other characters. That being said, his death still definitely made me cry. I didn't have to pause the TV, though. It's like right in between that. I was very sad. Again, because of how everyone else was
reacting, how Naruto reacted when he had just like promised to not let anyone die like how Hinata did. Like all of that reaction and everything and the way it went down was very sad, but Neji as a character is
outside of my top 10 by probably quite a lot. So, and and again, I do understand that he developed. He changed his mindset. He knows was flawed and has changed since then. But that being said, like personally, I had to put it in I
cried a lot cuz I definitely did. I had to put it higher than sad, but it's not something that forced me to pause the TV. Granny Chiyo. We've got a lot in sad. We've got a lot in I cried a lot. It definitely belongs in one of those.
Her giving up her life for Gaara. I was too busy being thankful Gaara was going to live because Gaara is my fourth favorite character and at the time was in my top three. So, I was like, "No, absolutely not. We're not killing him
&gt;&gt; So, her giving her life to bring him back was it seemed like the right thing to do. Obviously, she was quite old. Her fight against Sasori with Sakura was one of my favorite fights in the entirety of Shippuden because it was one of those
fights where I genuinely was like, "Okay, we've got some strong women here." Because that's something that Naruto was very lacking. That's a big critique that I know I have as well as well as many, many other people has on
the show. So, I I had to put it in sad, though. I don't think it's on the same level as the ones that I put in I cried a lot because again, I was just too busy being thankful that Gaara was okay. So, Danzo.
This is the one of the only times in the entire story that I cheered Sasuke on &gt;&gt; [laughter] &gt;&gt; This Okay, this goes ahead of Kisame, &gt;&gt; This Okay, this goes ahead of Kisame, too, because thank god. Thank god.
I made this tier. I'm I named this tier thank god because I saw him in this list and I said, "That is my thank god death." I think it was right after Pain the Pain arc. The next episode was called Danzo
lines. And it took me a few weeks to watch it. I literally had to take a break from the show because I was like, "No. I I cannot watch that after the honestly happy ending that the Pain Assault arc had."
don't think he ever like officially became Hokage because he was like acting as temporary while Tsunade was in a coma. But goodness me, when he died, I coma. But goodness me, when he died, I cheered. I did. I don't I I Danzo is
probably my least favorite character in Naruto more than any of the villains and I hated that guy. Most of the characters' trauma most like Itachi's story all of that mostly his fault.
&gt;&gt; [laughter] &gt;&gt; So, yeah, he belongs in thank god and at the front of thank god because I cheered when he died. Legitimately, I cheered. That's Kakashi's dad, I believe. I can't remember his name. Um this
it can go in sad. Again, like sad, not really meh because it's not like a it definitely was sad and it was a part of Kakashi's story, but once again, he was already dead in present day. I already knew he was dead.
Hearing the story and how it went down, it's still sad, but it's not like making me super emotional. This was a fake out. So, she died in the Pain arc, but they life. So, I'll put that in meh because it was a fake out. It's not a thank god,
but it's not a sad because she was fine. And I wasn't even like that sad when she died in the first place. It made really no difference to me that she came back cuz she's kind of just there, I guess. I don't remember how he died. How did he
&gt;&gt; [gasps and laughter] &gt;&gt; Oh man, I feel like his death was explained so long ago. Um I I think I have to put it in meh since I literally can't remember. I can't remember how it happened. I'm so
sorry, but it's going in meh because that's the only emotion I feel towards that. Because here we have our last one on this list Minato and Kushina. And I'm going to include
Minato's like second death because he got reanimated during the war got reanimated during the war and then faded away because
learning their story and them sacrificing themselves and Kushina just rambling on and on to him as they die, not letting Minato get in a word. Seeing not letting Minato get in a word. Seeing where Naruto got like his silly
speech pattern from, which is so funny because usually kids get funny speech talk. His is literal genetics and it's so cute. Knowing just like the whole story of them being attacked by Obito. Obito
of them being attacked by Obito. Obito is the one who had Kurama attack them. And you know, they just wanted to be parents so bad. They wanted to be parents so bad. They were so ready to be Naruto's parents. That was like their
entire personality when she was pregnant. And they were going to be the best parents and they were going to fight so hard to protect him and they wanted him to have such a good life and they put their trust in people in charge
and I believe all the people that they put their trust in that would take care of Naruto let them down because Naruto was a kid that was neglected and he acted out because no one would speak to him or befriend with him and that's
partially on the fact that the people that they put their trust in didn't follow through on their promise, in my opinion. I'm going down a rabbit hole, but I definitely had to pause when I watched
their story even though like their story is different than others because again, they were dead present day and they only served really in the backstory, but we got more of Minato. We got to see him fight as a reanimated
person in the Fourth Great Ninja War. So, let's fast forward to when he starts to fade away after they away after they defeat Kaguya and you know, that jutsu
gets released and Naruto starts rambling to him the same way Kushina rambled to Naruto the day they died. I lost it. I think Can you tell my nose Cuz this is fresh in my mind. I just watched this only a couple weeks ago,
this part. When it started with Minato telling Naruto happy birthday, which was of course also the day that his parents died. Like his birthday always will remind him of the life that he never got because his
only got a few minutes with him, honestly. For Minato to get to tell him happy birthday and then for Naruto to get to ramble to him as he faded away. See how emotional I get over the TV
shows I watch? I'm thinking about it. I'm talking about it and I'm tearing up. So, for the record, this is going in I had to pause the TV. My chest hurt, my eyes hurt, and my nose hurt after I watched that specific part of Minato
fading away and Naruto like just rambling to him about how shouldn't be worried I eat good food. Like I eat my vegetables, which he doesn't, you know? &gt;&gt; And then Sasuke had to ruin it right after that and I was pissed, but
this isn't about Sasuke. Goodness gracious. I think I after all is said and done with a story that had me multiple times questioning my choices of watching this because it got to me so much
emotionally. I think that got to me the most. I do. Because Naruto just wanted to have parents. He just didn't want to be a parentless kid. And they just wanted to be his parents. Like they all wanted it so bad, but the state of their
world didn't allow it and god damn that it wow. There you have it. I feel like I need to stop talking because I have tears on my eyelashes from just talking about a scene. God damn it. Think about how it must have been like.
should have recorded your reaction." I don't do reactions, okay? Because nine out of 10 episodes, I just sit there and stare at the screen. If I making faces, it would be fake. It would be fake. I would be acting. I'm not
going to lie. So, I don't want to do that. That was a lot. Like I had to pause for a while because They were dry. They were completely run
My chest hurt, my throat hurt, like everything hurt from sobbing so much over it. So, there you have it. There's my ranking of Naruto deaths. There was a lot that got to me in this show. I have a lot more thoughts. I do kind of want
to talk about the ending. I feel like I have so many thoughts on the ending because it was such a long journey that I went on and then the ending was definitely not what I expected. I don't want to say any
spoilers of my opinions, but if you are interested in more Naruto related videos, I can even do tier lists about arcs, about ships if y'all are interested in that. Anything, I'm down to make content about Naruto because
it's fresh in my mind. I'm also starting [music] One Piece, so I'm going to start that and I might post [music] like monthly compilations long form wise. So,
again, don't forget to like the video, [music] subscribe to the channel, and think that's it. I'll see y'all in the next one. Not tonight.
