Uzumaki Clan

Uzumaki Clan(うずまき一族,Uzumaki Ichizoku)DebutAppears inAnime, Manga, Game, MovieTheUzumaki clan(うずまき一族,Uzumaki Ichizoku) was a prominent clan inUzushiogakure. They were distant blood relatives of theSenju clanand as such, both were on good terms; an alliance that extended onto their hidden villages —Konohagakureand Uzushiogakure. The shinobi of Konoha integrated Uzushiogakure's symbol onto their uniforms andflak jacketsas well as on the shoulders of their uniforms as a sign of friendship and goodwill betweenthe two villages, and continue to do so to this day, in memory of their friendship even years after Uzushiogakure's destruction.[1]This clan produced the latestHokage.[2]OverviewAshina Uzumaki and HashiramaSenju, alongside their respectiveclans.As descendants ofAsura Ōtsutsukiby originating from theSenju clan, what distinguished the Uzumaki from their predecessors was that members of this clan were very knowledgeable in the art offūinjutsu, 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 theLand of Whirlpoolsduring the era of Shinobi World Wars, as other nations had begun to see the village as too great a threat to go unchecked. With the destruction of their homeland, the remaining survivors of Uzushiogakure fled their homeland and went into hiding, scattered all around the world.[1]Throughout the series, membersas well as descendants of the clan have resurfaced such asKarin,NagatofromAmegakureand presumably his mother,Fusō. With some of them such asMitoand laterKushinahaving settled in Konoha.TheSenjuand Uzumaki clans are distant blood relatives whomthey retained strong connections with.[1]The Uzumaki had a close relationship with Konoha, they would often supply fūinjutsu (among other things) to the village.[3]For this reason, Konoha-nin uniforms have the symbol of Uzushiogakure emblazoned on its shoulders. Hashirama's wife would also come from this clan, further strengthening their ties.[1]Along with their ties, structures were built both in, and around the village such as theUzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple.[4]AbilitiesThe typical appearance of an Uzumaki fūinjutsu.The members of the Uzumaki clan possessed an incredibly strong life force which can both endure and survive most grievous injuries plus incredible longevity.[5]The clan members are also blessed with great recuperative powers, able to quickly recover from extreme exhaustion and mend most injuries in short periods of time. As seen with Karin, she can further enhance her healing powers, bybitingherself[6]and consuming some of her own chakra she can heal most injuries, and can heal others by letting another person bite her.[7]Their longevity can be seen inpart through Mito, who lived from long before the founding ofKonoha, to well into the term of theThird Hokage's reign. The clan's life force was the reason Kushina survived theextractionof hertailed beast, despite additionally just giving birth onlymoments before, though she was left severely weakened.[8]Naruto was also able to survive the extraction of a tailed beast (albeit he was rendered unconscious and in a critical state).[9]Two Uzumaki membershave shown to possess a strongand special form of chakra, allowing them to manifestAdamantine Sealing Chainsfrom their body which they can manipulate to their will in battle.[10][11]Whether or not this is an ability known to all Uzumaki is currently unknown.
