Does Naruto have any direct connection to the Senju clan in the story of the same name? This is a question that many Naruto fans ponder and want to know the answer to.
In today’s article, we will delve deeper into the origins of the character Uzumaki Naruto, particularly focusing on the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan.
First, we need to highlight the significant background that starts from Otsutsuki Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra on Earth. This extraterrestrial being had two sons: Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura. Due to certain conflicts, Kaguya sealed her two sons away.
After that, Hamura ascended to the moon, and his descendants would eventually become the Hyuga clan. Meanwhile, Hagoromo remained on Earth and had two sons named Indra and Ashura.
The two sons of Hagoromo had contrasting personalities and differing views on ninshu. When it came time to choose between Indra and Ashura, Hagoromo decided to favor the younger son, who embodied the ideal of compassion in order to inherit his legacy.
This decision led to deep-seated resentment in Indra, who felt overshadowed. Despite being regarded as a genius, Indra chose to follow his own path, which ultimately led to the creation of the Uchiha clan, while Ashura’s descendants became the Senju clan.
On the other hand, Ashura continued to follow the teachings of his father. The descendants of Ashura formed the Senju and Uzumaki clans. As a result, besides being rivals, these two clans also share a distant brotherly bond.
The Uzumaki clan originated from the Land of Whirlpools, and the shinobi of the Leaf Village carry the symbol of the Land of Whirlpools on their uniforms and armor as a symbol of the alliance and mutual respect between the two clans.
