Uzumaki Clan (Knyght)
One more thing...Fuu can fly. Deidara fighting Fuu just makes sense.
Uzumaki Clan (Official Version)
The Uzumaki Clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths through his younger son and distant relatives of the Senju Clan.
As Otsutsuki Ashura was their ancestor, they inherited the “body” of the Sage which granted them a powerful life force beyond most human beings which allows their bodies to quickly heal from most injuries, their stamina recovers at an accelerated rate, and they live far beyond an ordinary life span.
They made their home in the Land of Whirlpools, a small island nation off the eastern coast of the mainland with whirlpools scattered around its shores. Their missions typically involved traveling with sailors and merchants overseas to provide protection during the voyage, or guarding coastal towns against bandits and ninja. And they were frequently hired to hunt down pirates causing trouble for the local authorities as well.
At the end of the Warring States Era, they founded the Village Hidden in the Eddies by inviting several minor clans from bordering countries as well as wandering ninja to join their settlement. The Uzumaki ruled the village as its most elite shinobi and their skill and reputation meant that they were practically considered nobility by their fellow villagers and countermen. The majority of Uzumaki were born with red hair which, combined with their headband, made them easily recognizable and only added to their reputation.
Due to the protection granted by living in a hidden village, the standard age of death for a shinobi rose and the older ninja were able to at least semi-retire. This meant that the Uzumaki had more elders living longer and their unusually long lifespans became more apparent. People of the Land of Whirlpools started to called Uzushio “The Village of Longevity” which soon spread to other countries as well.
Unlike their sister clan who had no specialized fighting style, the Uzumaki excelled in fuuinjutsu. Ninja who focused on that art were a rare breed which made this clan particularly distinctive for making it their signature jutsu style. In battle, they could arm themselves with scrolls that fired weaponry and block enemy jutsu as well as talismans that could explode, paralyse or worse. With the entire clan working on sealing formula and techniques for generations, they advanced the jutsu style beyond what anyone else had ever accomplished.
The oldest among them possessed more sealing knowledge than anyone and were respectfully called Sealing Masters. Rather than wasting that knowledge by throwing them into battle, they often remained in the hidden village to work as its defenders while training upcoming shinobi in the art.
These Sealing Masters were responsible for creating unorthodox weapons by sealing unique and powerful jutsu inside a set of masks. Those masks would automatically activate the sealed jutsu when worn to allow the wearer to use them without needing to learn the jutsu themselves, especially ones that are hazardous or impossible to train. For example, one mask was possessed the Dead Demon Consuming Seal which summons an entity of chakra that they called the Death God for it devoured the souls of both caster and victim.
Their specialization in fuuinjutsu served the clan well in other skills too. Juinjutsu, which uses sealing formula to control living beings, were rarely used but highly effective in dominating their enemies. Barrier ninjutsu were vital in protecting the hidden village and their clients so using sealing tags allowed them to set up diverse and powerful barriers whenever needed. And medical ninjutsu often using sealing formulas to help monitor and stabilize patients as well as aid in surgical treatment. The fact that the Uzumaki’s greatest skills were primarily suited for support only gained them greater respect given their effectiveness on the battlefield and the sheer survivability of their ninja.
When the First Hokage offered a place to the Uzumaki Clan in Konoha, they declined in favour of remaining in the homeland. However Konoha and Uzushio nevertheless held a strong alliance as they bound themselves together through a marriage between Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito. Uzushio shared their knowledge of fuuinjutsu which formed of foundation of the style in Konoha that is still used to this day and in return, Konoha shared many of the ninjutsu they collected and developed. Each village even bore the symbol of their sister clan on their uniforms as a sign of respect and goodwill.
In war they were an invaluable help to one another with Konoha protecting Uzushio from enemies in the west and Uzushio protecting Konoha from enemies in the east.
Unfortunately, Uzushio was destroyed at the end of the Second Shinobi World War.
The Village Hidden in the Mist used an unprecedented strategy to overcome the village’s many defences by sealing the Six-Tailed Slug inside an unsuspecting native of the Land of Whirlpools. Once they neared the walls of Uzushio, the seal unravelled and the Tailed Beast was released to go on a rampage. With its toxic fluids, rotting gas and immense chakra it broke through the walls and tore through its defenders.
However the Uzumaki Clan were practically the antithesis of the Tailed Beasts and their sealing mastery allowed them to restrain and seal the Six-Tails away. This alone wouldn’t have been enough to destroy the village but this was merely the opening move. On the heels of this rampage, the Third Mizukage and Seven Ninja Swordsmen led the main force in an attack that was so sudden and devastating that it brought Uzushio to its knees.
Before reinforcements from Konoha could arrive, the hidden village was razed to ground and the island nation itself was practically destroyed by the intense fighting throughout its territory. This tragic event became as the "Drowning of Whirlpool" due to the great loss of life.
Very few of its inhabitants were able to escape from the destruction and those who attempted to flee towards Konoha were captured. The only ones to actually reach Konoha after the disaster were either fakes attempting to infiltrate the village or brainwashed spies who were discovered and eliminated. Instead most of the survivors ended up scattered across the continent and in their desperation were forced to go into hiding to stay alive, abandoning their name and their heritage.
Most of Uzushio’s valuable jutsu and wealth were either destroyed in the fighting - either by accident or in defiance of their killers - or stolen by Kiri before the reinforcements could arrive. Almost everything else that was salvageable was retrieved by Konoha though there were undoubtedly still records and scrolls still left in the ruins that had been missed or forgotten. Among the things that Konoha retrieved from the wreckage were the sealing masks, overlooked by their enemies who hadn’t known their function especially when many of the masks didn’t even have jutsu sealed inside them.
In honor of their fallen allies, Konoha erected a temple outside of their bodies and decorated it with those masks as a tribute. Only Uzumaki Mito knew the purpose of the masks and shared that knowledge solely with the Third Hokage and her protege, Uzumaki Kushina. The villagers were forbidden from removing the masks from the template and Mito Mito kept them safe within barrier ninjutsu and fuuinjutsu as protection, a duty that Kushina continued after her death.
Unfortunately, the temple was forgotten entirely after the Nine-Tails Disaster with more vital concerns taking precedence and the last of the Uzumaki who remembered their history dying. Its barriers eventually collapsed, the building fell into disrepair and the masks were simply left to gather dust.
And then only Uzumaki Naruto was left to carry on their name.
Signature Jutsu
Adamantine Sealing Chains - This is the oldest and most prized fuuinjutsu of the Uzumaki Clan which forges their chakra into incredibly durable physical chains. It’s said that they are derived from a sealing jutsu first created by the Sage of Six Paths himself.
These chains are able physically bind a target by wrapping around their form to restrict all movement or they can tear right through the target with the destructive force of their extension. They are released from the wielder's body and their exact size, shape and length of those are chains are flexible, making them adaptable enough to suit their needs in any given situation. The end of the chain can be tipped with a spear-like blade to pierce through an obstacle, or a hammer-like club to strike with blunt force or a claw-like head to grab onto a target.
Being made from chakra, the chains move according to the wielder's will rather than any physical movements like a regular chain would be. So they can extend over great lengths and change directions at sharp angles to better entrap the target within their clutches. It's possible for the chains to be used in other ways such as directly binding the target through physical touch and they can act as a perimeter to create an impermeable barrier to keep enemies inside or out. Even with a fragment of the jutsu’s true strength, it is a truly powerful ability.
Mind’s Eye of the Kagura - Among the Uzumaki, only a few of them possessed chakra sensitivity but those that did were among the best in the world. Their ability to sense chakra was at such a level that was official identified as its own ninjutsu rather than a standard skill. Without even needing to mould chakra, they could sense distinctively chakra signatures over significant distances with no conscious effort.
By opening their ‘inner eye’, their superior perception is able to sense any and all chakra within many kilometers as well as discern how many signatures there are, what type of being it belongs to and whether a specific individual is present. They can judge the quality and quantity of a person's chakra as well as discern some understanding of their nature through the feel of their chakra. Even the fluctuations caused by a person's dishonesty are detectable to her. In combat, they could track the movements of their enemy and predict their jutsu through the presence and changes in their chakra.
It was named for the ceremonial dances performed by shrine maidens for divinations and those that possessed were given a diamond-shaped tattoo on their forehead to symbolize the mind’s eye.
Known Uzumaki
Uzumaki Mito - The daughter of Uzumaki Asahina who lead the Uzumaki Clan at the end of the Warring States Era and founded the Hidden Eddies. She was considered the ideal Uzumaki who mastered all of the skills that her clan specialized in, which is why she was considered a suitable match for the First Hokage.
Afterwards, she chose to become the first jinchuuriki since the Sage of Six Paths by sealing the Nine-Tailed Fox inside herself to protect the world from its incredible power and hatred. Already possessing the Mind’s Eye of the Kagura, her sensory skills were bolstered by the Tailed Beast’s presence inside her so that she was even capable of sensing the negative emotions of those around her. Mito long outlived her husband, remaining in Konoha as their secret jinchuuriki until even she neared the end of her life and her successor was decided.
Uzumaki Kushina - Sometime before the destruction of Uzushio, Kushina was sent to Konoha become the next Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Even as a child she possessed incredibly powerful chakra and an instinctual talent for the Adamantine Sealing Jutsu which made capable of suppressing even the strongest Tailed Beast.
As much as being a foreigner in Konoha pained her, a pain that grew worse when she learned of her country’s destruction, the decision to send her away saved her life. She gained a great deal of knowledge and jutsu from Mito prior to her passing and even though she never learned to wield the Nine-Tails' chakra, serving solely as its container rather than a weapon, she became a formidable shinobi on par with Konoha's most elite shinobi.
Nagato - He was a refugee that fled with his parents from Uzushio to the Land of Storms where the threat of Hanzo the Salamander was enough to ward off enemy invasion after the Second Shinobi World War that cemented his reputation. It was a popular destination among all refugees and so they fitted in with the rest and managed to build a home there.
He was gifted with immense and powerful chakra from birth as he inherited the full strength of his bloodline, drawing the attention of Uchiha Madara as he saw the ideal vessel for his Rinnegan. It was thanks to that heritage, despite how little his parents had told him before their deaths, that he became a vital component in the world’ future.
Karin - Her mother was a refugee and her flight from Uzushio's destruction took her all the way to the Land of Woods where she found a life for herself in one of their villages and raised a daughter. When Karin revealed that she possessed the Mind’s Eye of the Kagura, her mother taught her how to use chakra and even tried to teach her the Adamantine Sealing Chains though it wasn't an ability she ever used successfully until much later in life. Her chakra sensing saved her life when she escaped a raiding party that destroyed her village and brought her to the attention of Orochimaru of the Sannin.
First she became one of his many child spies and had her infiltrate her the Village Hidden in the Grass as genin, taking advantage of her nativity. When she returned to him years later, Orochimaru wanted to take advantage of her powerful life and conducted experiments on her which turned her body into a tool for healing. An individual is able to heal themselves by biting her flesh hard enough to break skin, opening a connection between their chakra systems, and sucking her chakra into their body. That chakra significantly boosts the body's healing ability by orders of magnitude so that it can heal severe injuries within seconds. The artificial nature of the ability is clear in that Karin doesn't have that level of regeneration herself. She, too, needs to bite herself to heal her injuries as it is only when her chakra leaves her body in that fashion that it possesses those healing qualities.
These experiments killed any loyalty she held towards the man and she remained in the Hidden Sound only because she had nowhere else to go and her infatuation with his future vessel, Uchiha Sasuke.
