More of the main cast should have died, especially in the war to make more of an impact. You can't have such a big cast as this and be called ninjas, and none of them face deaths like that. The show was never really dark in the first place. It was getting there, and could've been, but Kishi wanted to make it love dovey, and the exact opposite of what ninjas are.
