Agreed, and after Kakashi's talk about the next generation and Orochimaru's death it was bound for Jirayia to die.

There are many different types of shonen manga.

Shōnen (少年, Shōnen? sometimes transliterated as shounen or shonen, "boy", or literally "few years") is a Japanese word used in English to refer to manga intended for boys.

Intended for boys, not men.....that explains why 15 year olds are offing Akatsuki. Plz do some research of your own next time.

mostly, characters who still have an aura of mystique and curiosity or who have motives or pasts that are unexplained tend to survive until their histories are clarified, so the uchihas and most of the akatsuki are exempt for now. really, naruto isn't like afro samurai where people pop in and out of the storyline, dropping in and dropping dead within minutes of their introduction.

kakashi will not die cause he is the 4th member of team 7 and the whole manga's purpose is the reunion of team 7 so dont exept him to die so soon and IF he dies he will take down a more powerfull enemy not zetsu

I think you just only watches Bleach, Naruto etc.

What about:

-Ghost in the Shell

-Cowboy Bebop

-Ergo Proxy

-Claymore

etc. etc.

Seinen ? Surely not! They do still count to the Shōnen-genre!

All these series are Seinen except Claymore.

Hunter already explained that most of these are Seinen, but you misunderstood my point in the first place. I did not say that EVERY shonen manga would have teenagers as the main protagonists, but that it explains why teenagers are defeating the powerful villains in the Naruto series, because it is intended for young boys; the main targeted fan-base. If a large population of fans can relate more easily to characters in a series (even if by only age) then it's plausible that they'd be interested in the series for a longer period of time and more deeply.
