Okay, i didn't find this out until yesterday, but naruto's mother is Kushina (Kushina means nine goods) Uzumaki from the whirlpool village. When she was younger, she and a blunt, tom-boyish attitude ( that's where Naruto got his deamor). It is said that Naruto's choices with ninjustu resembles his mothers, though his appearance resembles his father. It is not known, if she is dead or not.

This all I know, so if any of you would like to add more, be my guess.
