Before their fall, the Uzumaki were masters of forbidden knowledge, whose hair fluttered over the impregnable walls of Uzushio. They prospered, turning the art of fuinjutsu into a weapon capable of binding demons and grinding armies to powder. Their blood, flowing in the veins of Konoha's allies, served as a living pact of unbreakable friendship with the First Hokage, rendering the clan untouchable to their foes. In those days, the very name 'Uzumaki' sounded like a curse to their enemies and a prayer for protection to merchants seeking refuge within their walls. It was a clan whose life force seemed endless and whose seals eternal—until the world envied their greatness.
