If you, like me, are a fan of Naruto, you certainly know the Uzumaki Clan, to which none other than Naruto belongs. The main character of the anime says several times that his name is Naruto Uzumaki, and that catchphrase of his sticks in my mind.
In addition to saying that his name is Naruto Uzumaki, he also repeats several times that he will one day become Hokage, and he was completely right. Absolutely this Anime marked my childhood and continues to mark me, and I'm sure the same thing happens to you.
And nothing fairer than coming here today and quoting 7 curiosities about the Uzumaki Clan, to which the main character of the Anime belongs.

What Are Clans?
Before we talk about the 7 curiosities about the Uzumaki Clan, I need to first make you aware of what Clans are. In the anime of Naruto what we saw most are Clans, and each Clan has its own personality, own Jutsus and etc…
And Clans are actually families or groups of shinobi that form a basic unit of a shinobi village. And a curiosity about the Clans that exist in Naruto, is that most dees were military forces that acted as mercenaries.
And they acted as mercenaries even before the First Shinobi World War happened. Anyway, enough rambling and let's finally start talking about these 7 curiosities about the Uzumaki Clan.
7- The Other Villages Were Afraid of the Uzumaki Clan
The fact that it is a very powerful clan ended up contributing to other villages that exist in Naruto being afraid of the Uzumaki. For in addition to seeing the members of this Clan highly powerful, they also considered them wild, perhaps due to their highly temperamental behavior.
And that resulted in the following, during the Second Shinobi War virtually every nation that existed began chasing the Uzumakis. And this eventually resulted in a tragedy, the village in which the Uzumakis lived was completely destroyed, resulting in the near extinction of the entire Uzumaki Clan.
And those who survived this devastation went into hiding, spreading all over the world, each one went to a different place.
6- They Were Kin of the First Hokage's Clan
Here's a curiosity that few people knew, the Uzumakis were also relatives of the Senju Clan, to which the first Hokage belonged. And these two clans had a good relationship, and even at one point made an alliance between Konohagakure and Uzushiogakure.
This blood bond between these two clans was so strong that for years marriages took place between members of these two clans. And the first Hokage's wife was a member of the Uzumaki Clan, her name was Uzumaki Myth, and wore the well-known red hair.
5- High Chakra Reserve
A fact present in the members of the Uzumaki Clan is their high chakra reserve, and we have seen this fact happen several times with Naruto. During the Third Great Ninja War, Naruto was distributing Chakra to all the people who were present, thus helping in the fight.
Of course, the Nine-Tailed fox helped him, but if it wasn't for the Chakra he already had within him, this might not have been possible. And this fact about the Uzumakis was mentioned several times in the Manga, such as when Kabuto fought the Uchiha brothers.
Another moment was when Obito killed Konan and went to find Nagato's body.
4- They Have Incredible Stamina and Are Able to Survive Serious Injuries
In addition to having a huge reserve of Chakra, the Uzumakis also have some other points that are very special to them. And one of those points is their incredible stamina and surviving serious injuries that maybe people of other clans wouldn't survive.
And it doesn't stop here, they also have a great longevity, that is, if you are going to die of old age, it tends to take longer than other people. And their great resistance made them have “priorities” to become Nine-Tailed Fox jinchuurikis, and we saw it several times in the Anime.
Mito Uzumaki, for example, was the first jinchuuriki of Nine-tailed fox, and besides them, we've already seen the fox sealed in other Uzumakis. For example, Kushina, who is Naruto's mother, and after her death, her son took over the post.
3- Descendants of the Uzumaki Clan
As I had already said here in this article, after their village was destroyed, the Uzumakis who survived chose to flee and live in hiding. And we saw in Naruto some descendants of these people who managed to escape and live in a hidden way somewhere in the world.
And one of these people is none other than Naruto, who as we know, is the main character of the Anime, but who else appeared besides him? There was also Karin, who was living in Orochimaru's Captivity along with Sasuke and Nagato, who touched the ground in Naruto.
Remembering that Kushina was also a descendant and not a fugitive.
2- Link between Kurama and the Uzumaki
Most likely you already know that the Nine-Tailed Fox is called Kurama, that is, that's its name. But did you know that Kurama has a certain special bond with the members of the Uzumaki Clan?
It is not by chance that the first Fox Jinchuuriki was Mito Uzumaki, wife of the first Hokage and who was part of this Clan. Soon after, she was succeeded by Kushina Uzumaki, and after her, her son Naruto took command of the Fox.
That is, so far, all Fox Jinchuuriki are Uzumaki.
1- Meaning of the Name
Now I will finish this article on 7 Uzumaki Clan curiosity telling what is the origin, in short, the meaning of its name. Well, Uzumaki actually means Whirlpool, and I don't know if you know, but the village they lived in was full of Whirlpools.
And this same whirlpool can be seen in the uniforms of Konoha ninja, as the village was born in a union of the Senju Clan and Uzumaki. And yet, getting away from the subject a little, this Clan has sealing as one of its great techniques.
And that was also one of the reasons that made other nations fear this clan, thus resulting in its extermination.
Remembering that it wasn't just the Uzumaki who went through an exterminated, the Uchihas also suffered.
What is the Strongest Clan in the Naruto Anime?
Now we will talk about an extra curiosity about the Anime of Naruto, which was or is the strongest clan that exists or has existed in Anime? Many say it's the Uzumaki Clan, others say it's the Uchiha, but know that it's neither of those two.
In fact, the strongest Clan in Anime was the one that gave rise to the Senju Clan and the Uchiha, do you know what I'm talking about? I'm talking about the Otsutsuki Clan, we even see a member of this clan appear at the end of the Third Great Ninja War, do you know who I'm talking about?
I'm talking about Kaguya, who as we know, was the one responsible for the Third Great Ninja War to have happened, after manipulating several people.
