Naruto's Last Name

[Strata Uchiha]

Why is he "Naruto Uzumaki" when he should be "Naruto Namikaze?" Uzumaki is Kushina's maiden name and Minato married Kushina correct?

 

[Vroqrak]

Read the discussions made by elders....you will know

 

[Talk No Jutsu]

They named him "Uzumaki" to hide his relation to his father otherwise Minato's enemies might come after him

 

[Maina Deah]

Because the 3rd wanted to hide Naruto's connection to Minato that's why its Uzumaki not Namikaze. Kushina's clan was gone for good so its better to use it.

Yeah I agree with you, but he has the strongest Tailed Beast within him. He would have a target on his head regardless right?

well, not necessarily.
people didnt really hunt Jinchuriki.
the Akatsuki kind of started that
(nagato and konan developed the idea i believe)

This also is true.

Well Naruto is like really powerful shinobi now. *cougheventhoughhe'sstillagenincough* He has nothing to fear so he should so have his dad's last name.

I totally overlooked it which is so not like me. X_X

@Roger23: Yeah....maybe he is just a little more over the "Sannin" rank. He surpassed his master by using Sage Mode more effectively.

 

[Swizzik]

cant he change his name now?

 

[Swizzik]

They named him "Uzumaki" to hide his relation to his father otherwise Minato's enemies might come after him

wait this doesnt make sense Im sure his enemies would have known that Kushina and Minato were together and obviously there arent many many uzamakis in the world.

 

[Smoggeli]

It would be cool if naruto decides to change his name to namikaze. For the memory of his dad. And Naruto Namikaze sounds better -.-

This. they even say it in the manga.

 

[Blazing CobaltX]

Sandaime wanted to protect him, so he gave him his mother's name.

There isn't such a Rank.

 

[NLee]

For the 100th time. Sannin is not a rank. Pay attention to the manga

yeap

Only most people in Konoha will know that they are together. As for people from other villages... Nah. If he was named Namikaze, enemies would obviously know that Minato was his father. Compared to Uzumaki, people may think of other Uzumakis, not just Kushina.
