I think he has bigger fish to fry (he's probably still cleaning up the mess made since the inception of Konoha) than to be interested in heritage, especially since he never was interested in his own clan. In that respect he's probably more like Itachi, he doesn't value the clans but people and their village.

As to abilities and such: I think Naruto learned by now that power is fairly useless if you have nobody to have that power for. With his current Godhood he can help people escape the pain and anguish of nearly a millennium of war, building a better future.

I can almost taste the salt.
