Why Konoha could not speak of the 4th son or Kyuubi

[Shodaime]

I just thought. If the Junjuriki are seen and used as weapons by other villages, Naruto would have grown up being guarded by Anbu or somebody vicious 24/7? He possibly was but I doubt it. If the 4th was know by many to have put a demon in a child and he is known to have a child, he would likely be the jinjuriki.

Even if not many knew that the 4th put it in a child, and that's not the reason for his father being a secret, it would definitely be a good one for why the villagers were not supposed to speak of it. If word got out that the 4th put the nine tails fox in a child and made a "jinjuriki weapon" that would super strengthen Konoha someday, and everyone spoke freely of who that child was, Naruto would be a target by other non ally villages to seize as their own or kill to prevent Konoha from having. Then Naruto would need 24/7 protection growing up.

U see that a need for bodyguards for the jinjuriki has only been brought up since Akastsuki has been looking for him. The elders wanted to send 24/7 Anbu with him and keep him locked in the village. He has to take at least a vicious squad or team captain with him if he goes anywhere, only now, since Akatsuki came looking. This is what Konoha didnt want to have to worry about before, so his lineage and Kyuubi history was kept a secret in the best interest of Konoha. Sarutobi would definitely make that moral Sacrifice and take something like the knowledge of who his parents were from Naruto, for the safety of the village. It was best for Naruto not to stand out by getting any special attention. He did look like the fourth with his blue eyes, and blonde spikey hair, face and all.

I always wondered that but the reason why Minato did that is first off he knew the power of kyuubi would be needed to master resengan, second to defeat Tobi, third if people found out Naruto was the 4th's son a lot of people in the village would've had a lot more respect for him and the 4th wants him to be a hero without his name, Also a lot of other villages would've planned attacks on him because he was not only a host but also the 4th's son who has caused a lot of problems to other villages in war. Elders in other villages said, "If you see the Konoho Yellow Flash to run."

Yeah most people didn't actually know who had the kyuubi, hence the enemies didn't either until Naruto started to use its abilities and the fox's chakra.

Don't talk of the kyuubi because the info will get into the hands of ally nations that the leaf village owns the kyuubi and other nations will want to capture Naruto. What village wouldn't want the power of the kyuubi.

No one knew that Naruto was the son of the 4th hokage if they did Naruto would have been treated like Konohamaru. Very few knew of Kushina and Minato's relationship. They kept it secrete like Asuma and Kurenai.
