yes. if you share an ancestor with someone. that makes you genetically related. this is an irrefutable scientific fact. so yes they are all related.

this is how it is in real life also. genetic tests shows that we are all related and that No two people are No more than 50th cousins. 20 years per generation 50 generations thats 1000 years. indra and ashura came 1000 years before the current naruto. so 50 generations of time. but since shinobi live longer periods of time the most logical thing would be that there is more like 30 generations at most between two individuals born of the uchiha clan. same with senju. and uzumaki. since indra and ashura were hagoromo's sons. the two clans are relative clans so anyone born into the uchiha, senju and uzumaki clan are distance cousincs. same with hyuga and otsutsuki clans. on top of that since hagoromo and hamura were brothers this makes naruto, and hinata distant cousins as well. but like i said. we are all related. this is proven in genetics. so its not really that big of a deal. but as for clans in naruto. its based on blood line thats why some clans have kekkei genkai, a family is a unite consisting of. parents and children. a clan is a unit of inter-related families who share a common ancestor and goals. so essentially what this means is that, uchiha, uzumaki, and senju, hyuga and moon otsutsuki clans are all branch families of the main otsutsuki clan. being that a clan is a group of inter-related families. this makes them all blood relatives. Even if distant. but like i said. there is only a separation of 1000 years between them and there ancestors. meaning they can only be a few generations of seperation so YES THEY ARE ALL COUSINS
