One of the most intriguing families in the Naruto universe is the Uzumaki one. The family formerly called Uzushiogakure home, but out of terror, its neighbors eventually destroyed it.
Most of the Uzumaki family members relocated to Konohagakure following the incident, where they still reside today.
Due to their shared ancestor, Asura Otsutsuki, members of the Uzumaki clan are related to those of the Senju family.
They are extremely strong and are renowned for their immense life force and sealing Jutsu.
Before the founding of Konoha, the Uzumaki turned down Butsuma Senju’s request for assistance in battling the Uchiha Clan.
Furious with the Uzumaki’s denial when the Whirlpool Village was destroyed, Butsuma offered no assistance.
Many Uzumaki viewed Hashirama Senju’s adoption of the Uzumaki swirl for the Konoha uniforms as a grievous insult.
The clan is dispersed throughout the Elemental Nations, but before she passed away, Mito Uzumaki made contact with a few Uzumaki Conclaves and sent for Kushina to travel to Konoha at her request. Whether those Conclaves still exist is uncertain.
What is Uzumaki Clan?
The Uzumaki Clan was a significant clan in Uzushiogakure in the past.
Its members are known for their bright, red hair, incredible life forces and chakra, and sealing prowess. Despite the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the clan’s demise, most of its known members have since relocated to Konohagakure, and the clan was recognized as active fifteen years after the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The Uzumaki’s fūinjutsu prowess won them both respect and fear in the ninja world. After Kushina Uzumaki moved to Konoha, some of the world’s nations banded together to destroy Uzushiogakure, believing the village was too powerful to be permitted to exist.
Members of the Uzumaki Family
Following are the members of the Uzumaki Clan:
| Karin | Karin was first introduced to the audience as a subordinate of Orochimaru who eventually joined Sasuke Uchiha in his ambitions. She is clearly an Uzumaki based on the color of her hair and her remarkable vigor. Karin is a superb sensory ninja who can identify a person by simply catching a glimpse of their chakra. She is once more working for Orochimaru following the Fourth Great Ninja War. |
| Fuso | Fan knowledge of the character Fuso is extremely limited. Fuso lived in Amegakure with her little family, in contrast to most of the Uzumaki clan members who resided in Konohagakure. She had vivid red hair, fitting for an Uzumaki. Fuso was assassinated by Konohagakure shinobi after becoming involved in the Second Great Ninja War. Nagato Uzumaki, her son, killed the intruders right there to exact revenge for her passing. |
| Nagato Uzumaki | Fuso, who became an orphan at a young age, had a son named Nagato. After meeting Yahiko and Konan, the three of them founded the Akatsuki and began promoting peace throughout Amegakure. As an Uzumaki, Nagato possessed amazing energy, and Madara Uchiha gifted him with the Rinnegan when he was very young. Nagato was unquestionably one of the clan’s strongest members. |
| Ashina Uzumaki | The head of the Uzumaki clan that lived in Uzushiogakure was Ashina Uzumaki. Although not much is known about him, it is stated that he had close links to Konohagakure’s First Hokage. Ashina was a master of the art of Fuinjutsu, which is a specialty of the Uzumaki clan. In the Anime, Hashirama went in search of him to capture a huge beast that had escaped. We don’t know what specifically happened to him and his group after that. |
| Mito Uzumaki | After the establishment of Konohagakure, Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was introduced in the series. Thanks to the extraordinary life the Uzumaki blood provided her, she was to be the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi. Up until the point when it was finally transferred from her body to that of Kushina Uzumaki, Mito was able to serve as a fantastic conduit for him and kept him contained fairly successfully. |
| Kushina Uzumaki | Kushina was taken to Konohagakure at a young age because the Nine-Tails needed a Jinchuriki. She stayed in Konoha and obtained village citizenship after Mito passed it on to her. As a result of her eventual marriage to Minato Namikaze, Kushina gave birth to Naruto Uzumaki. The Nine-Tails raid on Konoha resulted in the deaths of Kushina and her husband. |
| Naruto Uzumaki | Son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki is the series’ main character. Because his mother was an Uzumaki, Naruto possessed a lot of energy and chakra reserves, which the Nine-Tails further increased. Naruto has become the most powerful ninja that ever existed. He currently serves as Konohagakure’s Seventh Hokage and is credited with establishing peace among the entire ninja community. |
| Hinata Uzumaki | Hinata was a member of the Main Family of the Hyuga Clan at birth. She was trained in the shinobi skills of the Hyuga clan over the years and became extremely adept at them. After Hinata married Naruto Uzumaki, she formally joined the Uzumaki clan sometime after the Fourth Great Ninja War. She is mother to Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki. |
| Boruto Uzumaki | The main character of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is Boruto Uzumaki, the son of Naruto and Hinata. He is a competent young man who is frequently referred to as a prodigy by others. Because of his Uzumaki ancestry, Boruto is able to generate many shadow clones with little to no downsides, despite the fact that his chakra levels are nowhere near those of his father. |
| Himawari Uzumaki | Himawari is Boruto’s younger sister and the offspring of Hinata and Naruto. She is a prodigy in the making, much like her brother, and although she hasn’t yet applied to the Academy, she is talented with the Byakugan. Himawari will become a fantastic Kunoichi, as evidenced by the fact that she was able to kill her father in a single blow when her Byakugan first came to life. |
What happened to the Uzumaki Family?
At some point, the Uzumaki family was compelled to disperse and immigrate after the town of Uzushiogakure was destroyed.
As an illustration, Nagato, who later goes by the pseudonym Pain, was born and nurtured in Amegakure and subsequently went back to Konoha to obliterate the village.
Since Naruto was the only known member of the Uzumaki clan to have spent a significant amount of time in Konoha, he displayed traits specific to the clan, such as increased endurance, which explains how he was able to keep the Nine-Tailed fox inside him for such a long time.
Many Uzumakis immigrated after being forced to leave their home hamlet because it was under siege.
Kushina Uzumaki, the mother of Naruto, was a powerful Shinobi famed for her devastating sealing Jutsu, which many people feared.
Uzushiogakure was assaulted, costing many family members their lives because other countries saw this talent as a threat to their own dominance.
Fortunately, Kushina was able to flee and sought safety in the Hidden Leaf Village, which is why Naruto grew up there after his parents passed away.
Naruto gradually learns about the other members of his family, despite the fact that he as a child had little to no notion of how significant his clan was.
According to the Manga and Anime, Karin and Nagato, two Akatsuki members, are descended from the Uzumaki family.
The Uzumaki family’s legacy is continued by Naruto’s offspring, Boruto, and Himawari, once he ascends to the position of Hokage in Boruto.
The Uzumaki family was the victim of political power struggles and assaults, but they didn’t take up guns and demand retaliation because doing so would only fuel further violence and a full-scale war.
Nagato and the other adherents of the development through the suffering school of thought went to considerable measures to start a war, and the results have been terrible.
In contrast, despite his knucklehead tendencies, Naruto develops into a more mature, balanced member of the Uzumaki family who strives to improve Konoha as a Shinobi and ultimately as Hokage.
Who is the oldest member of the Uzumaki Family?
Mito Uzumaki is the oldest member of the Uzumaki family. From the Uzumaki clan of Uzushiogakure, Mito Uzumaki was a Kunoichi.
She immigrated to Konohagakure, where she wed Hashirama Senju, the village’s First Hokage.
Following the events at the Valley of the End, she later became the first Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.
Mito had a very regal air about her and seemed to be quite calm and collected. As seen by her decision to transform herself into a Jinchuriki by enclosing Kurama within herself in order to increase her husband’s strength, she also had a great sense of duty to her spouse and the village.
When Kushina learned she would become a Jinchuriki, Mito consoled her and provided advice on how to deal with the situation.
Mito was also characterized as being comforting and compassionate.
After becoming the beast’s Jinchuriki, Mito greatly improved Konohagakure’s protection. She was also the one who realized that love was necessary to thwart Kurama’s power to control his Jinchuriki by overwhelming them with unpleasant feelings.
She gave Kushina Uzumaki this knowledge, which in part enabled the young woman to tame the beast inside of her and later assisted Naruto Uzumaki in taming the beast.
What are the abilities of the Uzumaki Clan?
The members of Uzumaki are born with very powerful life forces. As a result, they live exceptionally long lives and age slowly; Mito Uzumaki was born before the creation of Konoha and lived well into the rule of the Third Hokage while still having full coloring in her hair.
This also allows them to survive and tolerate considerably more severe traumas, as well as recover from injuries and tiredness in much shorter periods of time. These qualities are robust enough to withstand the elimination of tailed animals, although they are severely weakened as a result.
The members of Uzumaki are also capable of fast healing themselves and others by consuming their chakra. It is, however, harmful to employ this power too frequently.
Conclusion
- Originally from Uzushiogakure, the Uzumaki family was slain in large numbers when their hamlet was destroyed.
- One of the clans descended from Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his son Ashura Otsutsuki and the distant blood relatives of the Senju Clan is the Uzumaki family.
- The fame itself is dispersed throughout the Elemental Nations, but prior to her passing, Mito Uzumaki had gotten in touch with a few Conclaves of Uzumaki and requested that Kushina travel to Konoha. Whether those Conclaves still exist is uncertain.
