Orochimaru was a threat to village. He was keeping Konoha which is Naruto's home as well safe by tracking his movements. So its not luck as you say, he could've simply ignored Akatsuki just because Orochimaru left it. But he didn't.
Because Akatsuki interested him, due to their objective.However, even though he knew about orochimaru he failed to take him out.. despite him being a threat (well he wasn't the only one, Itachi didn't kill Orochimaru either so eh doesn't matter)
Hiruzen was there for a reason. That man is hokage for a reason, he is the top dog of the village. What better enviroment could Jiraiya provide for Naruto that Hiruzen couldn't. He lived in an apartment of his own, no rent or bills. Hiruzen was providing everything for him. So Jiraiya had no reason to worry about Naruto's health, because as far as he know Hiruzen got that covered.
-sigh- you really don't know the life of an orphan if you think being called a monster in a village, and crying every night.. with nobody there for you. is going to be made up with apartment with no rents or bills. Hiruzen had the obligations to provide it.. Naruto was the Jinchuriki of the leaf, and son of the guy who protected Konoha. But i'm sure if you live in an apartment with no rent, don't know your family, don't know where you come from, don't have a friend.. that its gotta be a very good enviornment, yea?
Its not matter. Minato already seems not much suprised and realizig Hiruzen hid the truth to keep Naruto safe. What benefit were there is to tell Naruto his fathers ID. He was an attention seeking kid, he would've started yelling all around Konoha that his father was the hero 4th who saved the village soon. Hinata was almost kidnapped, Mizuki was almost killing Naruto. It would only put a death mark on Naruto's name.
Hiruzen hid the truth from Naruto, not others. And I never talked about Naruto knowing who his dad was.. but now that you mention it, every child has the right to know who his/her parents are.
@Bold, assuming anyone with a decent IQ didn't know about Naruto being related to Minato already.
-Kushina was pregnant
- Minato and Kushina die
- A newborn kid that day is made into a jinchuriki by Minato.
- the kid happens to have blonde hair
Now who could this new kid be? hmm someone minato kidnapped on spot? hmm
Comparing Iruka and Kakashi. They're way different. I don't remember Iruka killing one of his closest friends or seeing the person he admired kill himself who happens to be his father after getting shunned by his comrades. Iruka only lost his parents. He lost once, Kakashi experienced such feelings many times. And expecting everyone to endure these kind of things the same is stupid. Not every human fonctions the same about this kind of matters.
Oh so Kakashi didn't talk to anyone, is that what you are saying? Cause I recall him being in the anbu, and talking to people.... (since we are talking about anime here now) And then he was saving Yamato's people.. And then he became an instructor. He was still in grave depression where he couldn't talk to the most hated person in the village, who happened to be his Sensei's son?
@Bold, Kakashi did, he was already over it... yet he didn't talk to Naruto. You aren't putting up a good excuse for Kakashi here...
