Consus, the Erudite God wrote: Your memory serves you wrongly because that part about Nagato being mentioned as taking the Uzumaki name is mentioned nowhere. He had an Uzumaki woman for a mother but knew nothing about his clan nor acknowledged any affiliation with the clan throughout his life. Nagato not knowing anything about his lineage doesn't make him any less Uzumaki than Naruto. He is Uzumaki by virtue of having an Uzumaki parent. Here is Obito outright stating that Nagato has the Uzumaki lineage.
