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?

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


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.

The Masked Man pretty much nailed it. For future reference, even the fact that
Naruto's mom, kushina was giving birth was kept secret, as the seal on kyuubi
is weakest during child birth. So, if someone told the villager's that Naruto
was the son of Minato and Kushina, when no one knew she was even going to give
birth, it could be hard to believe. Especially, when only a few people knew
about it. Furthermore, it was probably safer for Naruto if people didn't know
that he was the Hokage's kid. That title brings a lot of enemies. Even
Konohamaru had people following him 24/7.
