Why is Naruto called Naruto Uzumaki instead of Naruto Namikaze?
I have a question about Naruto. Why is he called Naruto Uzumaki instead of Naruto Namikaze?
Naruto's surname, Uzumaki, signifies a spiral, which alludes to Naruto's fighting style and the sealing techniques used in the series. On the other hand, Namikaze is the surname of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and Naruto's father. Naruto was given the Uzumaki surname to protect him from enemies who might target him because he is related to the Hokage.
