Naruto should work hard without knowing who his dad was.

It was one of Narutos strengths of not knowing his family.

He never asked xd jk
Probably due to plot, kishimoto wanted Naruto to meet their parents without anyone else telling him who they were :)

They are all dicks.
He went through hell without his parents.

Someone should have told him, he would have worked harder in class and as a ninja if he knew he had a reputation to uphold.

The same reason that his last name is Uzumaki and not Namikaze... because they didnt want him to know, and maybe his dad didnt want anyone else to tell him because he was smart enough to for see what can happen if the truths context is manipulated unlike itachi.

Like he knew if someone told him that his dad, The Fourth Hokage sealed the nine tails in him damn his child to be the outcast with the demon fox that everyone hates, but if minato didnt tell him then they could have left out that its because he believed in him and he loved him and trusted him.

Like think if Itachi had explained that it was a mission for the hidden leaf, and not to be mad that they were planning a coup d'etat and that everything that had happened was because he loved him and he lied to protect him, but tobi exploited sasuke deep love for his brother (Which no matter how much you hate your brother, deep down you love them), to turn him evil therefore exploiting the truth

Well they wanted to protect Naruto. That's why he was given Kushina's last name instead of Minato's - if an enemy even got a hint that Naruto was the child of the Fourth Hokage, they would probably try and attempt to kidnap him. That's why I think they never told Naruto about his parents. Plus Jiraiya was away for years so he didn't have the time to tell Naruto about his parents.

I think it would only give him more motivation if anything.

BTW. Hiruzen was really poor Hokage. He done absolutely nothing for Naruto, he just let him be. And Jiraiya really sucked at being godfather. Were was he when his godson, little kid, was treated like dirt? He was peeping on girls, writing porno books.

If they told him, then what do you think he will do?

Little naruto with who wasn't that strong would be yelling, " I WANT TO BE HOKAGE JUST LIKE MY DAD YONDAIME!" :|

People would know he was his son then other villages would know and like minato said he'd be in grave danger

If they told him when he was around 12 and explained how dangerous it could be I dont really think Naruto would do that.

There are certain things that should be labelled as plot and this is one.
Think logically for a second If naruto was real life, i believe we can all say he would know who his father was from close/family friends

This is the same guy who at 16 thinks looking at animals os a S ranked mission

And in part one every chance he got he said "Im Uzumaki Naruto and i'll be hokage someday"

when he learned about his father, he started adding "Im the son of the 4th hokage" at the end :|

And same guy didnt said to anybody who his father was. So if they explained to him that it would put him in danger, Im sure Naruto wouldnt say a word. It would only give him more motivation and self-confidence if anything.

it doesn't bug me as much as the fact that neither jiraiya nor kakashi took care of naruto when he was a kid. they did pretty well once they were introduced, but they were really close to his father and should have taken some interest before they happened upon him at 12 imo... but he wouldn't have been a loser with those 2 teaching him then i guess
