And yes, it is Minato's fault that Naruto is an orphan, because he died. He isn't culpable for the events that caused his death, but since parents dying is the one of the only ways for a kid to be orphaned (and because they definitely weren't gonna disown Naruto), it is Minato's fault. The villagers being cruel is their own fault, and the presence of Jiraiya wouldn't fix their hatred, but it might have helped Naruto to cope a bit better.

It's also Kushinas fault too, she was just wasn't that strong willed enough to handle Minato being gone.

She should of suck it up and deal with it, like a real mama! What are you talking about?
