There is also the concern of making Naruto a killer with no doubt (the last time, there was still the possibility of killing an already dead man).

Spoiler:

-Sazelyt, are you implying that at this point in time Naruto had little qualms about killing a living person? Although this is most likely the first time he's ever actually suceeded in killing someone (which was his intention anyway)...My point comes in the form of a question: is this the ever spoken change that has occured in Naruto? If so then the old Naruto that we knew for so long is indeed "dead".
