<section begin=summary />The {{translation|'''Uzumaki Clan'''|うずまき一族|Uzumaki Ichizoku}} was a prominent clan in [[Uzushiogakure]]. They were distant blood relatives of the [[Senju clan]] and as such, both were on good terms; an alliance that extended onto their hidden villages — [[Konohagakure]] and Uzushiogakure. The shinobi of Konoha integrated Uzushiogakure's symbol onto their uniforms and [[flak jacket]]s as well as on the shoulders of their uniforms as a sign of friendship and goodwill between the two villages, and continue to do so to this day in memory of their friendship even years after Uzushiogakure's destruction.<ref name="ch500">Chapter 500, pages 3-4</ref> The remaining known members of this clan, with the exception of [[Karin|one]] who is in [[Orochimaru]]'s employ, currently reside in Konohagakure, and has produced the Seventh [[Hokage]].<ref>Chapter 700</ref><section end=summary />

As descendants of [[Asura Ōtsutsuki]] by originating from the Senju clan, what distinguished the Uzumaki from their predecessors was that members of this clan were very knowledgeable in the art of [[fūinjutsu]], and were both respected and feared worldwide because of their prodigious skill. This however, eventually led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the rest of the [[Land of Whirlpools]] during the era of Shinobi World Wars, as other nations had begun to see the village as too great a threat to go unchecked.

The Uzumaki Clan (うずまき一族, Uzumaki Ichizoku) was a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. Although not much is known about the clan, most of its known members currently reside in Konohagakure, with the Fifth and Seventh Hokage being direct descendants of the clan.[1]

Overview

Uzumaki-Senju clans

The Uzumaki and Senju after the creation of their villages.

The Uzumaki, being descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki, also shared distant blood relation with the Senju clan.[2] Through the years, the Uzumaki and Senju kept close ties, with members at times marrying between clans, as with Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki.[3] Following the founding of Konohagakure at the end of the Warring States Period, the Senju chose to symoblise their clans' friendship by adding the Uzumaki's emblem to Konoha's flak jackets. Konoha and the Uzumaki's own Uzushiogakure remained close allies over the following decades, with the Uzumaki providing fūinjutsu (among other things) to Konoha whenever there was a need.[4] In time, the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple was even constructed on Konoha's outskirts.[5]

The Uzumaki's skill with fūinjutsu earned them both respect and fear throughout the ninja world. At some point after Kushina Uzumaki immigrated to Konoha, some of the world's nations banded together to destroy Uzushiogakure, believing the village was too powerful to be allowed to continue. The survivors of Uzushio's destruction went into hiding and spread throughout the world:[3] Nagato was raised in the outskirts of Amegakure; Karin apparently lived in Kusagakure for a time; Kushina in Konoha had a son, Naruto, who years later has children of his own: Boruto and Himawari.

Abilities

The typical appearance of an Uzumaki fūinjutsu.

Uzumaki naturally possess incredibly strong life forces, granting them great reserves of chakra and very long lifespans;[6] Mito Uzumaki was born before the founding of Konoha yet lived well into the reign of the Third Hokage. This also enables them to recover from injuries and exhaustion in short periods of time, enough to survive the removal of tailed beasts, although they are still left near death afterwards.[7] Uzumaki can harness and accelerate their rejuvenative traits by biting them and sucking their chakra.[8] It is dangerous however to use this ability too regularly.

The Uzumaki were most famed for their fūinjutsu, the seal of which typically appears as a spiral crest reminiscent of the Uzumaki's symbol. They can also produce Adamantine Sealing Chains made of their own chakra,[9][10] but it's not known if this is common to all Uzumaki as only Kushina and Karin demonstrated this.
