Naruto, Nagato and Karin are all from the Uzumaki clan which means they share a common ancestor with the Senju i.e. Ashura. That's how Naruto came to be the transmigrant, he is not both Uzumaki or Senju just an Uzumaki. yes it is actually stated that they have to be a direct descendant asura. absolutely no one could be a transmigrant of asura unless they are his direct descendant. no where does it say that asura founded 2 clans. he was the creator of the senju clan and somewhere along the line the senju had to have broken off into the uzumaki clan. and multiple people including both obito and madara refereed to an uzumaki as a SENJU, obito specifically told naruto that the uchiha clan and senju clan were at war since the brothers indra and asura started there war. and that in each generation an uchiha becomes a avenger and a senju clan member is there to fight said avenger. and that sasuke is the current uchiha to take on that roll and naruto is the current senju to take on the roll of fighting the avenger. also just because they are stated to be distantly related clans doesn't mean the uzumaki isn't a branch off of the senju, there are only 2 options option 1, somewhere down the line an senju created the uzumaki clan or 2, one of asura's children went onto create the uzumaki clan 1000 years before naruto's time there is no other option. we know for a fact that asura has to be naruto's direct ancestor. as the transmigrants are bound to the blood lines of indra and asura there is no cross clan transmigration
