^Exiled was a poor choice of words. I meant as he left from Uzushiogakure at that period of time. It was apparently not uncommon for Uzumaki to scatter themselves around the world shortly before the village's destruction considering Karin's family did so and the same goes with Nagato's family. Granted, Kushina was brought to Konohagakure for political reasons. It was never explained why that happened, though. Maybe they sensed the destruction of Uzushio was near. Who knows.

And there are faint signs that point out to the Uzumaki clan being a clan of dangerous mavericks kind of like the Uchiha if we can use any of their personality traits as an indication, otherwise why the hell would some of the world's nations band together to destroy it.

And Konoha was under the rule of Sarutobi at that time, who as we know has a pretty mellow no-retaliation policy. Plus, his country was at a war that he was desperately trying to end. I don't think he needed to start another just after that.
