What the heck, Sasuke? Alright. I will try to view this from an unbiased stand point.

In Chapter 480, Sasuke stabs Karin and Danzo through the heart. Karin had been taken hostage.

Alright. Statisically, Karin should be dead, and there's no way around that. She had enough stamina to tank Danzo's kick but I don't think she had enough to tank THAT.

Kishimoto did say that Taka was going to meet a bad end. Well, Suigetsu and Jugo might be arrested right now, and Karin might be dead. There's also the fact that her abilities where significantly expanded upon in the last battle, which is always a bad sign. Also, Kishimoto said he wanted to write something 'big' for Sasuke, and this certaintly is.

It would be a great way for him to descend into the darkness, and Naruto & co. could hear about what he did to his teammates.

There is a scenario in which she lives, though. She could actually live through this quite easily, given how much characterization she's been given she could pull a plot - she could be thrown aside by Danzo/Sasuke and unleash some healing jutsu. Or she could be found by other hopeful souls before she dies and healed, as people are undoubtedly coming after Danzo. And there's the slim chance that Suigetsu and Jugo might find her after escaping, and heal her. So she could live.
EDIT: As rocketjed1 pointed out, Karin could VERY well join Konoha, as Sakura is headed towards Sasuke, she could find and heal her.

I really don't want Karin to be dead. She was a great character, very good for comic relief, great support type, and she sincerely loved Sasuke. Sincerely, as she was willing to risk so much for him. If she's dead I'll probably not be following Naruto very devoutly anymore.

So let's see what happens.

DAMN! Rocketjed stole my thunder, I was gonna say that

I did too! Then, my only friend who likes Naruto came to my house that night and we celebrated with a cake that when my mom took it out of the oven, we used that whatchamacallit and wrote "KARIN IS DEAD! HORRAY FOR SASUKE!" And we ate some... "Karin, is, dead, horray, for" is all still there, but my friend ate off a blank piece and I ate two pieces which happened to be both Sasuke's...
I am a Sasuke eater! xD


...I am kidding. O.O
(about the Sasuke eater at least, the whole cake thing was as real as it gets!) xD

I think she was basically a pawn to show how dark Sasuke truly was.
I hope the Cloud nin don't come and go as quick as Karin did.

I, for one, despise Sasuke and Karin. Suigetsu is okay, but Juugo is at least quiet.
