Naruto's Background Info: Naruto was born the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Soon after his birth, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked their hometown of Konoha, leaving destruction throughout the village. In order to stop the fox's attack Minato sealed it within Naruto's body, giving Naruto access to its great power at the cost of Minato's life. Before his death, Minato requested that Naruto be viewed as a hero of the village rather than a container for the fox. Many villagers chose to ignore this request, leading to the enactment of a law forbidding anyone to speak of Naruto as the fox's host. With his father dead and his mother presumably sharing the same fate, Naruto has spent all of his life as an orphan, not knowing who his parents were.
