Naruto's father's name is Minato Namikaze, and mother is Kushina Uzumaki. So,
why is Naruto's surname Uzumaki? Shoudn't it be Namikaze?

Naruto's surname confusion


In Naruto "Ch.440: A Conversation with the 4th" it is stated that the third
Hokage wanted as little information about the Kyuubi out in public as possible
and that's why nobody, not even Naruto should know that Minato was his father.
Thus he was given the name Uzumaki instead of Namikaze.
