In most cases children normally take on their father's surname, so why not naruto?

To keep his identity a secret I guess?

He only learned who his dad was when he was 15.

Minato didn't give him his name so people wouldn't target Naruto to take vengeance ( Minato killed very many people during the war, he basically solo'd it ).

Then I guess Naruto just kept it.

It's sad, because while Uzumakis still exist Minato's family name probably disappeared.

You haven't paid much attention have you?

Minato didn't want Naruto to have his name to protect him from his enemies.

Namikaze is not a clan so naruto didn't use it as a surname.

In NV last name of every character belongs to their clan names so it was logical for naruto to use uzumaki as a surname

I don't know when ppl on NB will use their tiny brains?

Read above comments, they all got awful reasons

Anyways minato might also be from the uzumaki clan as his chakra reserves were very high.he learned SM.

The following are probably it 1 Namikaze is not a Clan it's an ordinary Family name. 2 Uzumaki is a Clan name of a very powerful Clan thats still alive, Minato was the last Namikaze. 3 Naruto grew up from childhood to adulthood Uzumaki it fell right to Him.

Lmao, you don't see BS like this everyday, takes for the laugh mate.

OT: As stated by others, it was to protect him from his father's enemies.

The Uzumaki's got exterminated and used just because of their clan name, so how can it really be any safer?

Correction. Uzumaki got exterminated because of their Sealing Techs. Also who is going to be scared of a Boy with no sealing techs? The Sealing techs made the Uzumaki feared across the land, but after destroying it nobody payed any mind to them anymore.

Dude uzumaki´s had red hair and uzumakis aside from mito and kushina were outsiders of the village
, minato was born in the th hidden leaf, he´s obviosuly not an uzumaki.
Besides the reason other people gave was pretty logical, giving your child your surname when you´re person a lot of people want dead would put your child in danger being that minato was widely know throughout the world, so a lot of people would seek vengance through naruto namizake.

Naruto's mother was born in the land of Waves like Mito and had red Hair The Red Habanero Kushina, Naruto carries the red Hair gene and He couldd produce a 3rd child with red hair and His children can too.
