This was pretty much the theme of the 2nd episode. CapsuleCorpJX had the right idea, most likely the people of Konoha feared Naruto as the Kyuubi itself, and not just a container. Hence Naruto's isolation during his early years. Thems the breaks.

My guess is that if, in some way, Naruto is related to the 4th, then nearly nobody knows about it. Otherwise he'd have a bit more respect in the villiage.

I also think that the 3rd Hokage had a hand in Naruto's upbringing. He was the one who made the law that nobody tell Naruto about the fox inside him, and he also tried to enforce the idea that Naruto was the villiage's hero - just as the 4th had wanted. He possibly raised Naruto while he was a baby, or had others look after him, or something. There's also a small scene of the 3rd holding baby Naruto during his "Konoha is a family" speech. So I dunno, kinda seems like he might have helped in somehow.
