The Naruto series is no stranger to killing off characters. In fact, one of the things that fans love about the story is that no character is truly safe. Kishimoto has, on many occasions, shocked the fans by killing off their favorite characters, and at other times, bringing something back to life. Such is the writing of the Naruto series. And while this might not be everyone's cup of tea, it is certainly how Naruto fans like their story to be.
