Naruto's Uzumaki lineage originally came from the village of Uzushiogakure, which was properly introduced in Naruto chapter 500. Since then, the lore of the Uzumaki clan has been slowly built upon by writer Masashi Kishimoto, and continues in Boruto series, which is written by Mikio Ikemoto under the supervision of Kishimoto himself.
While the Uzumaki clan was close to extinction at one point, Boruto has seen to it that this clan is resurrected once again. IN Boruto: Two Blue VortexMasashi Kishimoto officially establishes the return of the Uzumaki clan and its official expansion into Konoha as one of the largest and most powerful clans of all time.
Naruto Uzumaki has officially revived the Uzumaki clan in Boruto
Over the years, Konoha has taken in many members of the Uzumaki clan, which include the likes of Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki and, finally, her son Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto is the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, and after the conclusion of the Fourth Great Ninja War, he stands as the official leader of the Uzumaki clan in the village. Although small, the Uzumaki clan has finally started to branch out in this story. Naruto's wife, Hinata Hyuga, is now also a member of the Uzumaki clan, and his two children, Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki, are both members of this clan. Slowly, through this Uzumaki household, the clan will expand greatly in the future and finally be revived to the glory days again.
“My country no longer exists. Our Fuinjutsu was feared during the war, and eventually our village was attacked and destroyed. All the survivors apparently scattered to different countries and went into hiding.” — Kushina Uzumaki explains the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto Chapter #500
As we all know, the Uzumaki clan is incredibly powerful and particularly well versed in Sealing Jutsu. They even have a special base of Jutsu near Konoha, and this is the exact same place that Orochimaru used to bring back the four Hokage during the Fourth Great Ninja War in Chapter 619, February 25th, 2013. With all the prerequisites to restore the clan existing in Konoha already, the Uzumaki are set to undergo a complete future in the future. Uzumaki marry and have children of their own. While this village was once destroyed and dismantled by its neighboring countries, it now takes root in the strongest ninja village of all. Its strength is such that it can even be declared the strongest clan in all of Konoha.
“These are the ones who know everything. The ones who witnessed everything! The Four Hokage!” — Orochimaru Takes Back the Hokage, Naruto Chapter #618
Why Boruto Uzumaki's Romance Plotline Will Expand The Uzumaki Line
For a complete revival of the Uzumaki clan in Boruto series, we must take a look at Boruto Uzumaki's romance. Currently, Boruto is not romantically involved with anyone, but that will soon change as Mikio Ikemoto, the creator of the Boruto series, has paid special attention to romance. For Boruto Uzumaki, there are already two romantic options in the form of Sumire and Sarada. In fact, Sarada has a deep crush on Boruto, which was officially confirmed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 20, released on March 19, 2025, in Volume 5, and the same can be said for the former as well. Boruto also has somewhat similar feelings for the young Uchiha, while his feelings for Sumire are still unknown. Mikio Ikemoto is slowly building towards a storyline of love for Boruto Uzumaki, where he will, more likely than not, end up with the young heir to the Uchiha clan together. If Boruto and Sarada end up getting married, they are set to expand on the Uzumaki clan's bloodline and expand this incredibly powerful clan even further.
“At some point, I realized that I was spending more and more time thinking about him. That guy, he's always dealing with some kind of problem. As a teammate in the squad, I can't help but worry about him. After a while, I became unsure of my own feelings. And the fact that my thoughts drifted like that made me feel like a bad person, but I've already stopped doing that. Boruto.” — Sarada confesses her love for Boruto, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #25
On the other hand, if Boruto Uzumaki ends up marrying Sumire, the Uzumaki clan wouldn't be as overwhelmed due to missing out on Sarada Uchiha. But it would still be significantly strong, especially because of her strong scientific background. Regardless of which way Mikio Ikemoto takes Boruto's romantic storyline, the Uzumaki clan is set to undergo a massive revival and be pushed to a whole new level. Any children Boruto Uzumaki has with either Sumire or Sarada will further strengthen this clan and expand its influence in Konoha. Boruto and Sarada are also two of the most powerful ninjas in the entire village. If they were to be at the helm of this new Uzumaki clan would make this clan the absolute strongest in the village.
There is also the case of Kawaki to consider, who was officially adopted by Naruto Uzumaki into the Uzumaki household. Even if he doesn't have Uzumaki blood, he would still carry the name Uzumaki and continue this clan in his own way. As such, at the end of the Boruto series, the Uzumaki clan will be fully revived with the strongest shinobi as its members.
Himawari Uzumaki will further expand the Uzumaki bloodline
Another interesting plot to note is Himawari Uzumaki, for whom Mikio Ikemoto also creates a romance. In her case, her romantic interest is none other than Inojin Yamanaka, who has already put his life on the line for her on several occasions, such as Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 10. Himawari and Inojin will end up together sometime in the future and then get married. Any children they have together will also only serve to further expand the Uzumaki clan.
Undoubtedly, by the end of the Boruto series, the Uzumaki clan will be in a much better position than ever before, standing as a full-fledged clan consisting of some of the most powerful ninja to ever live. By doing so, it will also dethrone the Uchiha and Senju clans as the official strongest clan in history.
Interestingly, expanding the Uzumaki clan to such an extent would also give Masashi Kishimoto a chance to explore their various Sealing Jutsu that were lost to time while giving this clan increased prevalence. The Uzumaki clan, despite having suffered tremendously in the past, could potentially be the most important piece of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and that's something we're all eagerly waiting to see. Hopefully, Masashi Kishimoto will continue the exciting story of the Uzumaki clan soon and bring us new content to go along with it.
