They can't come from the nine-tails, as his mother never had similar marks. He can't have inherited them, as his parents don't have them.
What makes this even more of a mystery is that Himawari and Boruto have them too. Has anybody got any possible answers?
Kushina was pregnant with Naruto when she was Kurama's jinchuriki. Kurama's chakra leaked into the womb, altering Naruto's DNA to exhibit the whisker marks.
I think it's possible that the whisker marks are a leftover design from the original naruto from the pilot, where naruto himself was the nine-tails. The whiskers were probably always intended to be associated with the nine-tails, Keep in mind that the Ginkaku and Kinkaku also have them. If naruto didnt have the nine-tails as an adult, I'd wager Himawari and Boruto wouldn't have them. But as for lore reasons, I'd go with Ultima's idea.
Nobody goes wuth my idea?:(

No, because it doesn't make any sense
Yeah Naruto only has whiskers because of Kushina being Kurama's jin when pregnant with Naruto, from conception to birth. So in a weird way Kurama is kind of like Naruto's third parent since his DNA had influence on Naruto that way..
