Who Did Naruto Uzumaki Kill?

Naruto Uzumaki is one of the mightiest characters in the entire Naruto verse, but people wonder whether he has ever killed anyone.

Fans know Naruto for his extremely kind and forgiving disposition. Not only does he try to find the best in people, but he is famous for trying to maintain peace. As a matter of fact, he tries his best for hatred to not dwell in anybody’s heart. He wants to put an end to the cycle of hatred.

That being said, one must not assume that Naruto is incapable of eliminating enemies who pose a threat to him or his clan. Neither is he unwilling to do so. It is not immediately evident who his victims are within the canon. But, fans argue that he has killed people outside of the canon. Characters like Haido, Aoi Rokushō, Fūka, and, of course, Yūra, are among those who have experienced Naruto’s final blow. However, since only Yūra is from the canon, this remains a subject of debate. Remarkably, fans have continued to express their enthusiasm for this topic even years after the last episode of Naruto.

How did Naruto Uzumaki kill Yura?

Yūra’s death is a matter of great wrangling in the Naruto fandom. He was an Akatsuki spy and a sleeper agent for Sasori. When he goes on his Kazekage Rescue Mission, Sasori retrieves his memories. What follows is absolute chaos. Loyal Yūra takes down the village guards to help Sasori and Deidara.

Later on, the plot takes an unexpected turn when Pain uses Yūra as a sacrifice. Using his Shapeshifting Technique, he guises Yūra as Itachi. Soon after, a battle between him and Kakashi transpires. Eventually, Naruto kills Yūra with his Big Ball Rasengan.

It is, however, argued that Pain carries Yūra’s blood on his hands. But, typically speaking, Naruto threw the final blow. This makes Yūra the only character in the canon that Naruto happens to kill.
