Naruto Quietly Set Up Sasuke’s Death 11 Years Ago

When it comes to the main cast of the Naruto series, two characters stand out the most and they are Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Often, Naruto and Sasuke are seen as the two main characters of the story, with Naruto as the protagonist and Sasuke as the deuteragonist of this series, whom Kishimoto has often equated to Naruto in many ways. In fact, Kishimoto has even stated in the past that whenever Naruto progresses, Sasuke must as well and vice versa, and that is because these two represent Yin and Yang. A perfect balance must be maintained between these two individuals for the story to progress smoothly.
