Uzushio was affiliated with Konoha since its founding. The Uzumaki are blood relatives of the Senju, and as a sign of trust, all standard Konoha uniforms have a red whirlpool on the backs and shoulders.

I've been confused about something for a while:

Why did no one seem to know anything about the Uzumaki clan when Naruto was a child? None of his peers seem to ever show any knowledge of the Uzumaki clan when they were growing up. Was all information on the Uzumaki just omitted from the Academy's textbooks and history classes?
