“Death is the veil which those who live call life:
They sleep, and it is lifted.”
They sleep, and it is lifted.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 – 1822)
In NARUTO there were many instances when even powerful guys like Kakashi, Sasuke, Kiba, Sakura and many others were at the verge of death and if it wasn’t for a certain fact or their instant act they would have definitely become a history. I've selected the top 5 close calls on Death in the anime NARUTO.....
#5 Shikamaru skills save Kakashi- Kakuzu’s hand threads almost pierced through the heart of Kakashi but just at that precise moment Shikamaru’s plan worked and Hidan unknowingly destroyed Kakuzu’s heart which in turn saved Kakashi.
#4 Killer Bee’s Lariat almost kill Sasuke- Sasuke’s neck and chest area were heavily damaged and he would have died if Jugo wouldn’t have infused his chakra and his cells.
#3 Self Sacrifice of Danzo- Danzo used ‘ura shishou Fuuinjutsu’ and if Madara and Sasuke were a split second late they would’ve been caught in the jutsu and sealed up in his corpse.
#2 Madara Rescues Sasuke – After fighting the Kages he was totally worn out and tschikage would have disassembled his body at molecular level if Madara wouldn’t have saved him
#1 Ultimate art of Deidara- Sasuke acknowledged the art! He would’ve died if just at that instance he didn’t summon Manda but still he suffered the damage.
