Kishimoto has never been one to shy away from killing off characters in the Naruto series. In fact, one of the many reasons why fans were as invested in this story as they were was simply down to the fact that no character was truly safe, and even the main characters, such as Naruto and Sasuke, had death scares in the story. Naruto saw many significant characters die that fans never imagined would go on to lose their lives and one such character is Jiraiya.
