The other characters' reactions would be complex. For example, Guy would be heartbroken. He and Kakashi have a long - standing rivalry and friendship. He might blame himself for not being there to help. The other members of Kakashi's team, like Yamato, would feel a great sense of loss. They would try to uphold Kakashi's values in the village. The students that Kakashi taught, aside from Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, would also be in mourning. They would remember all the lessons he taught them and strive to make him proud, even in his absence.
Well, the whole village would be in shock. Kakashi is a respected and well - known ninja. The children who looked up to him would be very sad. They might start training harder in the ninja academy, inspired by his sacrifice. Shikamaru, who is known for his intelligence, might feel a sense of loss and also a newfound determination to protect the village better. He might think about how Kakashi always put the village first and try to follow in his footsteps. Ino would use her skills to help the villagers deal with their grief, while Choji might find comfort in food for a while but then also step up to be more responsible in the village.
Naruto would be extremely devastated. He sees Kakashi as a mentor and father figure. He might go into a period of deep depression at first, but then turn his grief into motivation to become stronger. Sakura would also be very sad and might focus more on her medical skills, vowing to save more lives in Kakashi's memory. Sasuke might have a more internal reaction, feeling guilty if Kakashi died protecting him, and it could further fuel his own goals, whatever they may be at that time.
Sasuke would be deeply affected. He and Naruto had a complex relationship. He might feel a sense of regret for all the times he had pushed Naruto away. His reaction could range from anger at the situation to a new - found respect for Naruto's sacrifice.
Kakashi's reaction would be complex. He is a man who has lost many people in his life. But Naruto was special. He would hold Naruto tightly, his hands trembling slightly. He might try to use some of his own chakra to keep Naruto alive a little longer, but deep down he knows it's futile. His face would show a mixture of pain, regret, and love. He would remember all the times he trained Naruto, all the lessons he taught him, and how Naruto had surpassed all expectations.
For Hinata, it would be a crushing blow. She loved Naruto so much. She might withdraw into herself at first, overcome with grief. But then, she could find the strength within herself to carry on Naruto's legacy, especially for their son, Boruto (if in a post - Naruto - has - a - family scenario in the fanfiction). Shikamaru, being Naruto's friend, would feel a deep sense of loss. He would use his intelligence to try to figure out what led to Naruto's death and if there was any way to prevent it in hindsight. And the other members of the Leaf Village would be in a state of shock and mourning. Naruto was their hero, and his death would make them question their safety and future without him.
The characters would be devastated. Kurt, being one of her closest friends, would probably be in shock at first. He might go through a period of denial, thinking it's all a cruel joke. Then he would break down and cry, remembering all the times they shared together, from their fashion debates to their duets. He would likely be the one to organize a proper memorial for her, making sure it was as grand as Rachel would have wanted.
Well, in many fanfictions, characters like Sakura might immediately take on a more nurturing role. She could be seen gathering medical supplies and constantly checking on Naruto's condition. Kakashi, on the other hand, might show his concern in a more understated way. He could be by Naruto's side, offering quiet words of encouragement or just being there as a reassuring presence. Sasuke might initially seem aloof but could end up showing his care in his own unique way, perhaps by secretly training extra hard to protect the village while Naruto is sick.
The villagers of Konoha would be divided. Some would trust Kakashi and believe there was a good reason for Naruto's death, while others would be furious. The older generation, like Tsunade if she was still around, would demand an investigation. And for Hinata, she would be the most affected. She might feel like she lost her purpose in life with Naruto gone, but then find new strength in seeking justice for him.
The Weasley family would also be greatly affected. Mrs. Weasley would surely mourn Harry as one of her own. Ginny, who had feelings for Harry, would be heartbroken. She might become more fierce in her pursuit of justice in the wizarding world. And the other students at Hogwarts, like Neville, would be inspired by Harry's sacrifice to step up and be braver in the face of danger.
Winry would be heartbroken. She loves Edward deeply. She might initially go into denial and then be filled with anger at the circumstances that led to his death. She could also turn her grief into a determination to help others with her mechanical skills, in memory of Edward.
Ruby would be devastated. Qrow is her uncle and has been an important figure in her life. She might initially go into denial and then be filled with rage, vowing to avenge his death. She could become more determined than ever to take down Salem, seeing it as the only way to make his sacrifice meaningful.
Hermione would likely be devastated. She might go into a deep state of mourning, but also use her intelligence to try and figure out what led to Harry's death. Ron would be angry and heartbroken at the same time. He'd probably want to seek revenge if there was someone or something responsible.
