Why didn't people of the Leaf Village want to get closer to Naruto if he is the son of the 4th Hokage?


Naruto was always discriminated against by the people of the Leaf Village
because he had the Kyuubi inside. However, he is the son of the 4th Hokage and
he was the one who sealed it inside him. Why, then, did they discriminate
against him if it was in order to save the village?




The details of how Minato sealed the Kyuubi inside Naruto, and the fact that
Naruto is Minato's son was kept hidden from the villagers. The villagers
believed that Naruto is the reincarnation of the Kyuubi, who killed their
beloved Hokage. Having experienced the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha, they were
also frightened about going near Naruto. Even the people who knew that the
Kyuubi was sealed inside Naruto were worried about their own safety, and
wanted to stay away from Naruto.
