I find it strange that Naruto never planned to gather information from those NPC villagers (by disguise obviously) such as why he is hated since almost everyone in the village knows about the nine-tailed incident and calls him fox so he should be able to connect the dots easily. Also, he could have found out who his parents were. I doubt anyone in the village except Kushina had Uzumaki as a last name. Even if there was, Kushina is still the most famous one as Minato's wife, and many people also knew about her pregnancy.
