Yeah, but shouldn't the inheritors of a whole clan or of a Hokage and Shinobi who did prior S rank missions, be rich? Ugh, except for the bounty and reward stuff, money wasn't exactly anything during Naruto, everyone was after power, peace and more power. In Boruto, money has some slight influence.

It's also possible that Hiruzen hired someone he trusted for taking care of Naruto till he became of age, afterall, Shinobi have missions ranging from capturing lost cats to being bodyguards to assasions, so taking care of a baby for a long period of time wouldn't be that out of the question. And I guess a shinobi must accept that ordered mission no matter what.
