BlazeRelease wrote: But why would Hiruzen avoid people getting attached to Naruto? Most people believe Jinchuriki are little more than demons in human form. This can largely be attributed to Jinchuriki being highly protected secrets in Konoha. Keeping anyone too long around Naruto might either inspire them to see only a kid and try to rescue that kid from the demon-hating village, or inspire to see him as a demon that needs to be put down. Given the secretive nature of the Kyubi attack, Jinchuriki and Narutos heritage, frequent switches could also avoid anyone seeing too many similarities.
