The Uzumaki Clan (うずまき一族, Uzumaki Ichizoku) was a formerly prominent clan in Uzushiogakure. Its members are renown for having bright, red hair, possessing incredibly strong life-forces and chakra,[1] and their prowess in fūinjutsu. Despite the fall of Uzushiogakure and decline of the clan, it never quite went extinct as most of its known members have since resided in Konohagakure.
Throughout the "Naruto" series, characters with ties to the Uzumaki clan are depicted as having vibrant red hair, which serves as a visual marker of their lineage and heritage. This unique trait sets them apart from other characters in the series and underscores the importance of the Uzumaki clan within the overarching storyline. Maybe because Kishimoto thought that yellow hair looked better on an orange jumpsuit.
I don't think that the Uzumaki as a ninja clan was established until later on in the series. Though him being the son of the 4th Hokage was probably always a thing, so naturally he would have yellow hair. But the reason Naruto doesn't have red hair like his mother is because the red hair gene from the Uzumaki clan is recessive.
In simple terms, that means for someone to have red hair, they need to inherit the gene from both parents. If they only inherit one copy of the gene, they end up with a different hair color-in Naruto's case, blonde. Explores the mystery behind Naruto's lack of red hair and its connection to his Uzumaki lineage.
Hello everyone! And welcome to my theory on why all uzumaki's have red hair, here I put both the meaning behind the color red, and their personalities, I will link every one of where i got this information, so you can check that out. I don't know much about genetics, but isn't it another plot hole that his hair is blond? I mean, Uzumaki hair is apparently a super strong gene if it ends up the hair color of distant descendants like Nagato and Karin. I think this is probably because Naruto is genetically 1/2 Uzumaki and 1/2 another clan (Namikaze).
Unlike the other Uzumaki clan members we have seen (Kushina, Karin, Nagato, Mito), Naruto does not have their trademark straight red hair. Instead, he inherits his father's spiky blonde hair. I think this probably results in inheriting only a portion of the Uzumaki genetic characteristics (e.g.
Having Red hair doesn't mean you are an Uzumaki, but it was said that the Uzuzmaki clan was known for its signature Red hair and Sealing jutsu so most likely it was a rarity for any member to have a hair color other than Red. Why Doesn't Naruto Have Red Hair? The Truth About His Uzumaki Heritage!
