Naruto's POV

You know, it's kind of weird how people act towards you. Today, they acted kind to you, tomorrow, they are enemies with you. It also can be the other way around.

In my case, I have experienced both. Mizuki was one of it. He pretended to care for me, when he only uses me. It's weird, you know. I remembered his sentences.

*flashback*

"Die, you demon!" Mizuki said. "NARUTO!"Iruka-sensei called me. He saved me.

"Why, Mizuki-sensei…"

*end flashback*

It was then I learned about the reason they avoided me. Kyuubi no Kitsune was the sole reason. He was the reason I was beaten by villagers.

*flashback*

I ran from the villagers. But no matter how I tried, I can't dodge the stones thrown at me. "You deserve this for killing my wife!" A villager said. A shinobi threw a kunai at me.

They then soaked me in boiling water.

*end flashback*

If the ANBU didn't rescue me, I would be dead by then. I lost all my trust in a person. Now, they treated me like a hero, but I can't trust anybody anymore. All because of the events in the past. Trust is fragile; easily broken by little force.

I had mine broken.

*in the middle of kicking Naruto* How dare you mark my face?!

Naruto: Uh, this is an extremely short chapter, so review to save me from the author's wrath of doom….

I HEARD THAT!
