Legacy of the Uzumaki Clan

This is gonna be my first story. So please bear with me. I hope you all enjoy. And don't forget to review.

The Uzumaki clan. A clan once respected and feared. Known for their mastery in the sealing arts. A rare and coveted art. But most of its greater applications lay hidden or misunderstood.

The Uzumaki like the Senju and Uchiha were descendants of the sage of the six paths. The Uchiha inherited the sages chakra, mental energy. Their power manifested in their eyes. Yes they were blessed with a doujutsu called the sharingan. The Senju inherited the sages stamina and physical energy. Their power manifested in their strong bodies. The Senjus had very resilient bodies well built for battle. The Uzumaki inherited the sages Life force and vitality. Their power manifested in their longevity, health and exponentially large and strong chakra reserves. This made the Uzumaki suitable for being jinchuriki.

The sage of six paths upon his death left each of his sons something. To the elder son he left a tablet that can only be read via ocular techniques like his own rinnegan and the sharingan. Inside this tablet lay detailed information of whom the sage was and his history. To the younger son who was his successor he left him knowledge of the sage's most precious arts, Fuinjutsu and Senjutsu. He also left him detailed information on developing new ninjutsu and genjutsu.

As time went by the descendants of the younger son split into two. The Senju and the Uzumaki. The Senju settled in the fire country and became a warring clan that offered their services to other countries in exchange for payment. While the Uzumaki settled in the land of whirlpools off the coast of the fire country in order to avoid conflict and live in peace. Despite their differences both clans maintained close relations. And when the time came for them to go their separate ways both clans decided to split their Inheritances between them. The Senju took scrolls on ninjutsu and genjutsu, as it would aid them in combat. The Uzumaki took scrolls on fuinjutsu, as it suited their priestly nature. The scrolls on senjutsu were shared between the two clans.

Many years later the Uzumaki's studied and mastered the fuinjutsu techniques of the sage to such a degree that they could use them in combat. To support their country the Uzumaki decided to export their expertise to other countries and their respective hidden villages. Including the seals that allowed jinchuriki to be made. But the Uzumaki were smart enough to hide their more powerful seals in scrolls hidden in temples. So as not to arouse suspicion. Despite this though the uzumaki were targeted by the mist and other smaller countries for fear of their sealing jutsus. Their alies and blood relatives the Senju sent help in large numbers. But konoha couldn't due to them caught in war themselves. In the end the land of whirlpools was destroyed and hundreds of Senju and Uzumaki alike were killed leading to the near extinction of both clans. The survivors scattered across the globe for fear of being hunted down.

One of the remaining survivors, Kushina Uzumaki who had secretly married the yondaime hokage Minato Namikaze. And passed her knowledge of fuinjutsu to her husband. However on the very night that their son was born both parents died simingly signalling the end of the Uzumaki legacy.

But is this true? Has the legacy of the once great clan ended or will this child bring the child of prophecy bring the Uzumaki back to its former glory? The child of prophecy known as Naruto Uzumaki.

That wraps up the introduction. Tell me what you think or if you want me to continue. Till later guys.
