Uzumaki Clan

The was a prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. They were distant relatives of the Senju clan and thus both clans were on good terms; an alliance that extended onto their Hidden Villages - Konohagakure and Uzushiogakure.

The Shinobi of Konoha integrated the Uzushio Hidden Village's Symbol onto their uniforms and flack jackets as a sign of friendship and goodwill between the two villages, and continue to do so to this day, in memory of their friendship even years after Uzushiogakure's destruction.

Members of this clan were very knowledgeable of fūinjutsu. This reputation earned them renown and fear worldwide, which eventually led to the destruction of Uzushio, and the rest of the Land of Whirlpools during the era of Shinobi World Wars.

The members of this clan possess incredible longevity; this was described by Madara Uchiha as "vitality and physical energy".One case of the Uzumaki clan's longevity lived from before the founding of Konoha well into the term of the Third Hokage. This vitality was the reason Kushina Uzumaki survived the extraction of her tailed beast, though she was greatly weakened.
