Uzumaki clan

The Uzumaki are by far the oldest recorded clan with relations with the Uchiha, Hyuuga and Senju. The four clans are collectively known as the Great Four Names because of them boasting being the descendants of students of the great Sage, Hagoromo, who is the holiest figure for any clan with roots in chakra. Of the Four, the Uzumaki have been the least known because of their tendency to avoid others and settle on an isolated island where they were undisturbed until a few decades before the end of the Warring States era.

The current Prince, the ruling leader of the Land of Whirlpools, the Uzumaki home islands, is Naruto Uzumaki.

## History

### Very Beginning

The Uzumaki formed from a family of seven somewhere far west beyond the modern explored borders. They travelled east into the lands that would become the Elemental Nations. By the time they settled partly into the border of modern day Grass and Fire, their number had spanned three generations nearly twenty-three strong with the oldest being 124 years old. They had acquired the early Elder Ancient Beasts from their travels and were already acknowledged as wise and dangerous people.

The Uzumaki had lived in their area for a hundred years before being contacted by a messenger of a young emperor of the Land of Ancestors, a nation of religious people who believed their emperor is the descendant of gods. The Uzumaki did not believe such a story but the respected the culture of their hosts and cooperated with many requests.

However, the clan's heir, a man by the name of Aeron Uzumaki, fell in love with the emperor's prominent concubine, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and paid to have her. The emperor allowed it, not really wanting the woman that has grown more withdrawn from him, and the two of them married shortly after. However, the emperor's court advisors had poisoned the man's opinion of the Uzumaki, claiming that the clan was gaining the people's favor to oust him from power. That the clan's magic could be turned on them should they not act soon.

So the emperor ordered an attack on the Uzumaki village at his border.

Kaguya had learned of the plan, however, due to her spies in the emperor's staff and was able to prepare ahead. However, she felt that without absolutely destroying the emperor and his court nothing would change and they would still be attacked again. She ate the Life Fruit to gain it's powers and turned her sight on the aggressor party and the capital city. Using the power of the Juubi, she completely levelled the capital and killed the royal family and court advisors.

## Clan purpose

The Uzumaki clan has dictated many purposes throughout their long history. It ranges from protection, destruction, containment, and even overseeing. The prominent task they had started and finished was the containment and protection of the world's Ancient Beasts, which they developed a summoning contract so that they may benefit from each other.

### Protecting the Ancient Beasts

The Beasts are collectively a destructive natural force that had been hunted and disturbed for thousands of years, even before the advent of chakra being given to humans. Because of this, the Uzumaki have decided to protect and contain them inside a space-time-reality seal that allows them to live in their own world.

The seal developed for this specific task had been completed by nearly one hundred Uzumaki seal-masters, which also aged them by three decades because of the chakra and magic that had to course through them. There are sixty-two protection seals and fifty-seven blockers overlapped on the main seal to prevent anyone from "accidentally" releasing all of the Beasts.

### Preventing the release of the Evils of Man

The Evils of Man are different from the Ancient Beasts but are the same in the way that the Evils are natural disasters that can end the world if left alone. When Kaguya Otsutsuki merged with the Biju but rejected it's will, it released the evils contained within from the last Cycle of the world. These Evils are from a long-gone era and have been sealed inside the Tree of Life that brought forth the next Cycle.

With the Evils are the Heroic Servants that pledged themselves to the First Uzumaki when he was combatting the First Evil. Since then, they have been contained in a space-time-reality seal scroll that is on a smaller scale than the one containing the Ancient Beasts.

## Abilities

### Bountiful Chakra

Every Uzumaki have large reserves from birth and by the time they are 18 they are already on par with most Kage in terms of chakra amount.

### Chakra Healing

Every Uzumaki, and their related allied clans, have the ability to heal with the consumption of their chakra. This ability also depends on the potency of their chakra and the average healer can fix most stabs and breaks while those with extremely potent chakra can actually regrow lost limbs so long as the wound is not completely healed over.

### Sensor

Every Uzumaki has the ability to sense the chakra at about five miles average.

### Longevity

Uzumaki are noted for having long lives, with most living well past 150 years. One of Naruto's ancestor had lived to be 324 years old and was still fighting those considered more in their prime than him.

### Resilience

The Uzumaki are able to still fight even after suffering mortal wounds that would kill the average person, even still living after suffering a stab in the heart.

## Known Members

This line is of those who are considered "pure" children of Uzumaki and are able to utilize everything that make an Uzumaki.

Shanks is a twice removed Uzumaki while Naruto is the grandson of the last Uzumaki Prince.

* Naruto Uzumaki

### Lower Line

This line is mostly of those who had married out of the clan and island but were still considered part of the Uzumaki clan. For those like Renji and Grelle, they are the children of one Uzumaki and do not hold the Uzumaki name but are still tied to it in some way or another. Their line is now considered too "muddied" to be able to properly handle all of the seals that require maintaining by the Main Line.

* Grelle Sutcliff
* Itori
* Karin
* Nagato
* Renji Abirai

## Trivia

* The Uzumaki are actually not the descent of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. They have married into the Senju a few times but other than that they do not actually share the ancestry of the Sage until Naruto's great-great-great grandmother who married a Senju man and still held her position as Prince of the Uzumaki.
