<p>Yes, people die.  The first major arc (Zabuza arc) features multiple deaths. Several villains die throughout the story.  Some country leaders also die, as do some fairly plot-important characters and/or their relatives.  A lot of the most important characters end up near-death, but survive for various reasons.  Not all of those are able to recover well enough to resume their previous lives.</p>

<p>There are often serious injuries inflicted on "good guys" which causes them to be assumed dead but they usually end up alive and well with a few exceptions here and there.</p>

<p>The villains die more often but some of the stronger ones live and cause a lot of trouble. Most just die though.</p>

You can put spoilers in a dedicated spoiler-tag, by starting the line with ">!". That way, people can decide themselves whether they want to see the spoiler. I did it for you now, but this is how you are supposed to mark spoilers in the future. Anyway, welcome to the Anime & Manga Stackexchange. I hope you enjoy it here :)

<p>I've started watching <em>Naruto</em> and was wondering if anyone actually dies or if it is like <em>Dragon Ball</em> and it never really happens.</p>

<p>Please no spoilers about who dies, just if someone does or if there are serious injuries inflicted.</p>

Does anyone actually die?

I've started watching *Naruto* and was wondering if anyone actually dies or if it is like *Dragon Ball* and it never really happens.

Please no spoilers about who dies, just if someone does or if there are serious injuries inflicted.
