why didnt jiraya tell naruto that his father is minato

[KuramaW007]

naruto trained 3 years with jiraya and jiraya didnt tell naruto that his father is the fourth hokage and naruto didnt ask anything about that????????

 

[Goetia]

Because it didn't really matter.

 

[Hokage4]

I remember hiruzen saying some reason why he couldn't know but can't remember.

 

[Kai NB]

Because reasons?

 

[SMX]

I remember hiruzen saying some reason why he couldn't know but can't remember.

Hiruzen was talking about publicly. If the world knew naruto would've been kidnapped for ransom and stuff like that

 

[Darkdro]

Hiruzen banned Jman from telling Naruto that.

 

[Fair Game]

Cause Kishi didnt know either.

 

[Young Vongola]

It wouldn't have really changed anything. And it all comes down to when Kishi wanted to confirm with the readers at the end of the day. It was obvious for a long time, but he wanted to introduce into canon at the right time in the right way, and I guess he just didn't want Naruto to find out through Jiraya.

 

[KuramaW007]

Because it didn't really matter.

of course it did,
bieng the son of a hokage doesnt matter?????

 

[rrakesh711]

naruto's identity cant be revealed until he is strong enough.......

 

[Willie8622]

It is the same as why Kurama didn't say anything to Naruto.

Because it wasn't necessary for the story to progress at that time.

 

[Florio]

Why didn't Kakashi tell him? Why didn't Hiruzen tell him? Why didn't anyone tell him?
Because they didn't want to let the fact that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage go to his head. If he knew he was the Fourth Hokage's son, he probably wouldn't have trained so hard. They probably thought it would boost his ego too much which would be bad for his growth.

Plus he had 9-tailed fox sealed in him. Tho he will gain some popularity after the war :bouncy:

 

[Baki of the sand]

Safety reasons for naruto basically

 

[NineSNS]

Because if Naruto knew, then we would know, and that moment was set up to be revealed later.

Guys I will give you an exam, which village do you think will want to kidnap Naruto, that has tried to kidnap Konoha Citizens before?

Hint: It starts with a K.
