Naruto's early life (newborn~7 years) are somewhat of a mystery. Where was he raised? By whom? Were there other orphans like him?

I find it hard to believe that during that time there was no one that cared for him or that he bonded with. We do get a few glimpses from flashbacks with Hinata during that time period, but not much. The Third Hokage was supposed to take responsibility for Naruto, however there was no real indication of Hiruzen intervening until Naruto's academy days.

What we do know is, that Konoha's orphanage is located on the outskirts of the hidden leaf. If Naruto was raised there, he would have probably encountered Kabuto and Nono. That seems not to be the case.

What do users think about Naruto's early life?
