This is my first fanfic here, your reviews and comments are welcome.

Oh and also I don't own naruto.

~~~~~~Coward ~~~~~~

Demon!, Monster! ,get out of here you monster fox.

Tccch I wonder why the sandaime won't dispose of the demon .

Ah!, there they go again, if they are already muttering things like this then that means that kid is walking by again.

Uzmaki Naruto. To be really honest I have no problems with the kid, but considering what happened 3 years ago on the date of his birth associating with him will be bad news for you.

I've just recently built an udon stand, and I have to say business is going great and I don't really want to lose my costumers considering I'm just a wandering civilian.

I came to konoha four years ago, so I was there on the night it happened.

I've never been so terrified for my life when the kyubbi got lose on the village of konoha , I was just sixteen years old when that nightmare occurred.

It was total mayhem on that night , I had just quit being a wandering shinobi because my master who was also my lover had died, killed by a man who was known as Hanzo of the salamander .

I was too weak to stop him and was also too weak to avenge her, my mental state in shambles, I decided to move to konoha and start over and perhaps achieve the peace of mind. I had only been in konoha for a year when the kyubi got lose, if I thought Hanzo was beast I couldn't measure up-to, then being in the presence of the kyubi was far much worse, I felt like an insect which had no place in this kind of world and watching the ninjas of konoha take to the roof in order to fight the kyubi, made me garner great respect for them.

I ran with the rest of the civilians straight to the hokage's monument and there I hid with the rest of the villagers, like the coward I was. I was scared I couldn't do anything.

When it was over, we were told that the fourth hokage died sealing the kyubi into a small child and the sandaime hokage also told us that the fourth hokage's last wish was to treat the container of the demon like a Hero, it was there that all hell broke loose .

The civilians rioted, sighting for the execution of said container, I could understand their fear and irrationality, being in the presence of the kyubi felt pure evil, no-one will want said thing near them.

Their rioting forced the third hokage to pass a law that anyone who spoke of the kyubi in public was to be arrested and probably executed and they were also forbidden from telling the younger generation of the burden the young baby withheld just by being alive.

It was mourning throughout the next day when the villagers were finally calmed down, it was rumoured some civilians and ninjas tried to assassinate the young child the previous night, a child not even a day old and he was in a lot of people's kill list. I tried helping to rebuild the damages to the village, it was least I could do , to atleast numb the guilt I felt for not participating in the fight. The death toll was on a very high scale and corpses were still being discovered, some of said corpses being that of children and babies, I could also see that said findings aggravated the civilians and shinobi who found them and I could also see it made them more angry.

Watching them seething with hate and anger , made me pity them ,because just sixteen hours ago these faces were filled with laughter and happiness but now they were filled with anger, sadness, hate and malice. And I couldn't blame them if you had told them sixteen hours ago that they would be burying family members the next morning they would have called you insane.

It makes me wonder if fate really enjoys being a bitch to everyone, giving you something happy only to just snatch it away so suddenly that your brain wouldn't even know how to process your loss.
