He ain't dead. Sasuke wouldn't get killed off that easily almost as an afterthought.
Naruto/Sakura fans shouldn't want Sasuke dead. They want him dead because they think, "well with Sasuke out of the way there will be no more Sakura/Sasuke and we will finally get Naruto/Sakura!"
The problem with that is that it makes Naruto/Sakura way too freaking easy. And I wouldn't like that because I don't want it to feel like that Sakura is with Naruto because Sasuke died.
To me the only absolute solution and resolution with Naruto and Sakura getting together at the end of things, is if Sasuke some way is still in the picture. If the moment comes to be with Sasuke and Sakura comes to the conclusion, "You know after everything that's happened, I don't think I love you anymore and can be with you Sasuke. It just doesn't feel right."
That's the only way it will be acceptable to me. Lot's of conflict, twists, turns, and emotion. That's the way it's gotta be!

It shouldn't for Naruto and Sakura either.

I don't think that many narusaku fans would want Sasuke dead, particularly just because he made another error of hubris, and they weren't there to try to save him.
I'm all for Sasuke's redemption (and believe that's going to be Kishimoto's solution, that Naruto and Sakura will save him. He was riding such a high horse he had to fall a long way to hit ground and realize he needs others and others not of any clan can be better than him and that's not a mark of shame or failure.) It's pretty crystal clear that Sakura lost any remenants of her crush when Sasuke was so cruel and mean when they met him again, and looks to be that she's all but decided that he's hopelessly lost to Konoha. Her heart was also already being engaged in true, to Naruto, even before they saw Sasuke again.
However even if Sasuke was gone that would not make Narusaku "easy". While there would be no more obstacles between them (and frankly if you look at 343 there's already no more emotional obstacles between them) you forget the threat from without- the Akatsuki. Fear of the Akatsuki taking and killing Naruto is something that is clearly in the forefront of Sakura's mind. Fear of danger from without to me reads much interesting and realistic for the kind of world Naruto is in, once you get a couple to the stage Naruto and Sakura are in, rehashing triangles gets trite and cliched, it's what drove me away from American superhero comics in disgust.
