lol. kushina's parents aren't mito and hashirama. they are members, or people of the uzumaki clan.

hashirama formed an alliance with the uzumaki with the leaf village. they seemingly, or for some reason didn't want to move in together (the uzumaki to the leaf). the uzumaki probably felt they could stand on their own. they had their own village and nation, i think, and everything. it was on a small island though (if i remember well). you could search it on the very wiki right here. you see the swirl crest on the back of kakashi's leaf military jacket? (on the back of all of the jackets like that really. and naruto's shirts?) that's the uzumaki's symbol or emblem put there indicating partnership with the leaf (not by the uzumaki. but by hashirama's wish or by tobirama's ig).
