Senjutsu Sage wrote: yeah they were destroyed because nations feared them, because of how adept they were in sealing jutsu. but as the story said. some managed escape. there were refugee uzumaki, who scattered around the world (nagato and his parents being examples. even karin maybe, and her family, if they were ever mentioned). kushina came to the leaf village not because of that i think (if you look her up on the wiki you'd find out why).

yeah she did transfer to konoha. i think it was to be the next jinchuriki of kurama, as female uzumaki had special chakra that was effective at suppressing tailed beasts so they were the perfect candidates (i'm still not sure. look it up on the wiki. search her). It never mentions why
