Chōji has red spirals on his cheeks, does that make him Uzumaki/Indra's descendant?

Spirals are one of the most common designs in Naruto universe. While mostly used by Uzumaki clan, having the spiral-design doesn't automatically make you related to Uzumaki, just like having red hair doesn't automatically make you Uzumaki(looking at Tayuya, Karui and Chōza Akimichi for example).

If anything, like said above, Indra's spiral Mangekyō is most likely related to Hagoromo's Rinnegan.
