Both Senju and Uzumaki are Asura's descendants AND intermarriage was a seemingly common thing between them. So not only they share common ancestry, they also interbred, which means an Uzumaki was nothing more but a Senju with red hair, longer life span and Hiden Fuuinjutsu techniques.

It went something like this: Very early Senju or even pre-Senju migrated to Land of Whirlpools and interbred with the local population, resulting in their long life spans. Yes, the long life spans isn't an Uzumaki thing, it was actually something that was present in the Land of Whirlpools population in general.

So basically early Senju/pre-Senju + local folks = Uzumaki. And over the year Uzumaki married into Senju and Senju probably married into Uzumaki as well, meaning besides longer life spans, red hair and Hiden Fuuinjutsu techniques, the Uzumaki WERE basically Senju.

Therefore I apologize for my French.
