Background: Actually, about Naruto's family background isn't much known - to be precise, nothing. Shortly after being born, Naruto had been chosen as the vessel for the Kyuubi (Nine-Tails demon) by none other than the 4th Hokage himself, the Yondaime. Why exactly Naruto was chosen is another mystery that hopefully soon will be revealed by Kishimoto - in the mean time there are countless rumors floating around, one of them being the theory of Naruto being the son of the Yondaime. However, there is no real prove yet for this theory - but it would be nice to see the villager's face after getting to know they harassed the child of the famous and loved 4th Hokage.

Apart from that, Naruto considered Umino Iruka, his later academy instructor as something like a father. Iruka's parents were killed by the Nine-Tails, but even so he didn't hold any grudge against Naruto like the rest of the village did. Iruka probably saw himself a bit in Naruto, since he also often played the class clown when he was younger, with the aim of gaining acceptance. Moreover one should not forget Sakura and Kakashi who later became dear friends of Naruto, if not something really similar to a family. And of course, there is also Sasuke - and as Naruto had stated himself, over the time Sasuke had become something like a brother to him.
