I can appreciate you gave him a real reason for him having the qualifications of a hunter in his parents, as opposed to going on some self imposed training regiment as a kid like other "that one orphan everyone universally hates and abuses but is still given food and shelter by the people that hate him despite having no attachments or obligations to do so" original characters. I guess it's not wholly original, and I can see similarities to Naruto's backstory. (Though keeping in mind I only watched the anime up until the attack on the genin exam(?) by some snake guy and his minions, so I'm not really aware of many of the changes to Naruto's.)

Though I do happily take your compliment on his reason for becoming a Hunter. I also thought it would've been better than like you said or him growing up in a regular non-Hunter affiliated household.
