Shin himself had been somewhat careless when it came to the Uzumaki clan.
He remembered that the original story had not offered much information about the Uzumaki clan, only a few scattered remarks from Uzumaki Kushina.
It seemed to say that the various clans had feared the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Technique and joined forces to attack them, ultimately scattering the clan and leaving many of its members stranded across the world. No other time points or details had been described.
