Uzumaki

The Uzumaki is a clan that has some distant blood relation to the Senju Clan due to originating from the same source. Little is known about them as the Uzumaki has kept to themselves away from the wars between the major nations. They found the existing village Uzushiogakure at 352 A.S. and has since ruled it under a Council of Uzushiogakure for many centuries. Many generations have come and gone as they perfected their fuuinjutsu. Some individuals from the Hozuki Fleet came to request for aid, and yet the Council refused as they did not wish to involve in matters that did not concern them at the time.

However on the Hozuki’s Fleet defeat against the Inazuma some of the Uzumaki’s members took pity on the poor souls. These members, led by a young man named Rin Uzumaki, went to the defeated Hozuki to aid in recovery. Providing medicine and Ijutsu to the injured as the Hozuki retreated to their islands. Rin Uzumaki aided in rebuilding, and in the end he suggested to Ayame Hozuki on forming what is known currently as Kirigakure. This Uzumaki went out of his way to search for the other clans and somehow convinced the Kaguya, Yuki, and Hoshigaki to band together with Hozuki thus forming the foundation of Kirigakure.

By year 910 A.S. after the two year recovery expedition has concluded the Uzumaki were called back to Uzushiogakure. For reasons the Council felt that Rin was overstepping his boundaries on authority as he was no clan leader and were uncertain on the newly formed Kirigakure’s motives. So they watched the village’s growth while sending out scouts into the main land as they wanted to be informed of what every other nation was doing. Rin Uzumaki was sent to the Land of Tea to confirm rumors of a small band of swordsmen and women that protects the land. When Rin arrived, he was surprised to see that the rumors were true and discovering the Tohsaka family. Over the years the Council discovered that other major nations have followed suit and villages erected into existence as even the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Senju banded together.

During the late year of 911 A.S. however, Rin Uzumaki was attending to the Land of Tea as an overseer and was to be wed with one of the Tohsaka. Then, in one week an escort of Uchiha, Hyuga, and even the Hozuki came to the Tohsaka family to request for the family’s acceptance into their village. Rin Uzumaki kept a close eye on the turn of events and recorded it to detail for the Council of Uzushiogakure to keep on file. The Uchiha and Hyuga were in joint effort to win the family’s favor. Consequently this meant for Rin’s favor as well in hopes of winning the Uzumaki’s side. The Hozuki came with aggression that Rin did not expect to see from them. Arguments were held that escalated quickly to near drawing steel between Uchiha/Hyuga and Hozuki. Or at least it would’ve been had Rin Uzumaki not interfere to allow the Tohsaka enough time to reply to their offers.

As some would know one night the Uchiha/Hyuga discovered that the Hozuki were going to assassinate the Tohsaka family and take young under their wings. To which the Uchiha/Hyuga ambassadors attempted to warn the family, but it was too late as most were dead and Rin Uzumaki was fighting off the Hozuki forces. With one bloody hand cradling a baby bundled up in warm blankets, Rin Uzumaki fended off several well-trained shinobi with use of his Adamantine Chains to restrain his assailants and parry attacks with a simple tanto in the other hand. Rin Uzumaki handed off the baby to an Uchiha by the name of Maiori Uchiha, and told the Hyuga/Uchiha to leave as there was nothing left.

The records end there as Rin Uzumaki could only report what happened that night of his only newborn child was given to the Uchiha’s care. The Council of Uzushiogakure secluded themselves once more from Kirigakure for several years to protect themselves. The Mistress Clan Leader, Emiri Uzumaki, opened their island once more by 923 A.S. Emiri then established a search party for their missing kin that was kept outside of Uzushiogakure, but they only managed to find a few. Then by 931 A.S. Emiri was approached by Kirigakure, and essentially they were bribed to join Kirigakure’s ranks as Emiri hoped it would be a start of something new.

Uzumaki members are renowned for their red hair as it is their iconic trait. Most Uzumaki have a blue-green eye colors of hazel and some may even have brown eyes. Males tend to be anywhere from 5’7” to 6’1” in terms of height and females range from 5’1” to 6’. Due to their longevity, those with the Uzumaki bloodline stay to their youth longer than normal and as such age slower once they hit adulthood (ages 18-19).
