i think you need to go re=read the manga. the uzumaki clan has always been mentioned as being distantly related to the senju. but the manga clarified that relations saying that the uzumaki are descended from asura(the founder of the senju clan) naruto being a transmigrant of asura is a direct descendant of asura

Being a Transmigrant doesn't mean you are related to that person. Asura chose Naruto simply because he was different
