The hidden leaf Village where everything was peaceful or so it seemed, but why was it so peaceful? To answer your question, it's because they finally killed the demon but who said peace last forever the next year however was where everything went down south rittaly Naruto, our hero was killed by a certain fat ugly, brainless villager. That was field with hatred towards the young boy a year ago, when Naruto met with the Shinigami's, they made a deal with said boy. The deal was to bring back his mother and father, but only as ghost. to get back at the leaf Village for making his life a living hell. The Hokage didn't listen to the villagers, they asked for help with their issues with the illusions that keep popping up behind them list familiar killing intends that would make the nine tailed Fox Shit himself metaphorically speaking. Every time they turn their heads towards their home feeling strange presence coming from behind them. But every time they turned around the killing intent stopped, but the last thing you will ever see is a bloody fox mask before you died after the target was taking care of you would hear insane laughter. The kind of laughter that is very similar to that of Lord Orochimaru, but no matter where they turned they could never determine where the laughter was coming from. The laughter seemed to be coming from everywhere which a way and it made some children scared and they hid behind their parents trying to get comfort from the fear they were feeling, but there was nothing they could do. Trying to comfort them from the fear that they felt only made things worst "but we can't protect them from this fear forever", "so what do you except any of us to do?" No one knew what to do to keep their children from becoming anymore afraid of what was going on, but the only thing that knew for sure is that they didn't want to die so secretly everyone was turning against each other without warning. Everyone went home and tried there best to make things better so that their children wouldn't be scared anymore, so they just pretended that nothing never happened and just went on with their lives the best that they could. But no matter how hard they tried, something in their gut was telling them that they couldn't hide from this forever.
