The Uzumaki were a close cousin clan of the Senju. It basically means this... "One guy" had two boys, one of the boys became the direct start of Senju clan, and the other became the direct start of Uzumaki clan, and we all know that the "One guy" is Asuras direct descendant. Senju and Uzumaki are essentially the same clan, minus some features such as hair and eye colors and and specialties since they grew about in a different geographic. So Uzumaki would at the least be on par with Uchiha clan.
