Introduction

The Uzumaki village, Uzushiogakure, holds a significant place in the Naruto universe. However, the exact details surrounding its destruction have been a subject of debate among fans. While the manga does not explicitly state that multiple nations were involved in the destruction of this village, several narratives and inferred clues point towards this possibility. This article aims to delve into the details and explore the misconception commonly found in fan communities and unofficial sources.

Sealing Jutsu and the Uzumaki Clan

The Uzumaki clan is renowned for their outstanding sealing jutsu, which allowed anyone with the knowledge and power to seal Tailed Beasts into jinchuriki. This ability was not only attributed to the Uzumaki but also gave them the power to remove these seals and reclaim the Tailed Beasts. Such a capability meant that the Uzumaki could potentially take back control of the Tailed Beasts at any time, making them a formidable force in the ninja world.

Furthermore, every Uzumaki was capable of hosting a Tailed Beast due to their exceptional vitality. Maintaining a large number of Tailed Beasts was a strategic necessity for the Uzumaki, and the fear of this power likely contributed to the coalition of nations against them. The Sage of Six Paths, although the first to seal a Tailed Beast, his method was too complex for others to replicate. The Uzumaki’s method, on the other hand, was practical and accessible, making them a significant threat to any nation.

The Downfall of Uzushiogakure

As mentioned by Kushina Uzumaki, the destruction of her country was more than the demise of just one village. The land of whirling seas, Uzushiogakure, encompassed the entire nation, and every ninja from that village held the potential to host a Tailed Beast. This made the Uzumaki clan an entire national threat, not just a localized one. The fear of their sealing jutsu and their prolonged lifespans gave the Uzumaki clan unparalleled power and influence.

The narrative in Naruto wiki suggests that multiple nations banded together to destroy Uzushiogakure, believing that the village was too powerful to be allowed to continue. However, this claim lacks direct textual evidence in the manga or official databooks. The only canonical reference to the destruction of Uzushiogakure is a single panel, which does not explicitly mention the involvement of multiple nations.

Analysis of the Misconception

The misconception that multiple nations were responsible for the destruction of Uzushiogakure stems from a few key elements:

Multiple Nations: Some fans interpret Kushina's statement about fearing for the village as implying a coalition of nations, rather than the actions of a single nation. Sealing Jutsu: The fear of the Uzumaki’s sealing abilities, paired with their long lifespans, made them a significant threat, potentially necessitating a collective response from multiple nations. Nature of the Threat: Since Uzushio was a nation, not just a village, the destruction of the entire nation would require a coalition of forces.

However, Kushina, as a ninja herself, would likely have identified the specific nation responsible if it was one of the significant powers in the ninja world. The fact that she does not point out any particular nation implies a more complex and coordinated effort involving multiple forces.

Conclusion

The confusion surrounding the destruction of the Uzumaki village stems from a combination of narrative implications, fan interpretation, and incomplete information. While it is plausible that multiple nations were involved, the manga does not provide explicit evidence of this. The exact sequence of events leading to Uzushiogakure’s downfall remains a topic of speculation.
