In regards to people dying: Naruto stated after Neji he would no longer let anyone die. He even used Kurama to save many, even. If people keep dying around Naruto, his words would mean nothing. It would eat at him, knowing that in the end, he couldn't even save "one person" from dying. I think it is better for the story, Naruto, and everyone around for less people to die because it shows the intensity in Naruto's words and actions, of him giving everything he has to save the world. It's also why near the end he says he feels like he can finally do something. Letting Guy die is not good for the story. I think letting him lose his "youth" is perfect. He should never be a ninja again. He should never be able to walk again, probably staying in a wheelchair or something. But death is asking too much given everything.
