It's just that the clan was clearly integral to the leaf village and they were as close as two nations can get while still being separate nations. For all the other nations to wipe out the uzumaki village together without any back lash from konoha is ridiculous. What makes you think there was no backlash? I don't recall the exact timelines, but couldn't the second or third war have been partly because of this?

As to ganging up, the Gokage Summit arc made it clear that the various nations distrust each other immensely. The Uzumaki were such a gargantuan threat because of their lifeforce and sealing, which may seem inconsequential but it's what allowed Konoha to keep Kurama under control. They held the keys to controlling all Biju. It's a big enough threat to ensure these villages cooperate briefly. But as Onoki also showed, backstabbing happens even before the cooperation is done.

But such a creed would allow one to infer why those 4 village s didn't gang up on konoha, who are the superior village as I explained above. Because the Biju were spread to ensure that each major village had a weapon too terrible to be used. The Uzumaki would be able to seal and control these biju if used on the battlefield, even enemy Biju. They became able to destroy the foundation of balance. Konoha is a strong village, but it's not immune to Biju rampages.
