This old man was considered an equal to Hashirama Senju.
But who exactly was he? 👀🔥
His name was Ashina Uzumaki.
And he was most likely the leader of the Uzumaki clan.
Like the Senju, the Uzumaki were descendants of Asura Ōtsutsuki.
Which made the two clans distant relatives.
For generations, they maintained incredibly close ties.
In fact, marriages between the two clans were common, with Mito Uzumaki marrying Hashirama himself.
But what truly made the Uzumaki feared wasn't their chakra.
It was their sealing techniques.
To this day, no clan in Naruto has ever surpassed the Uzumaki when it comes to fūinjutsu.
And Ashina stood at the very top of that clan.
In one of the few glimpses we get of him, Hashirama actually asks Ashina for help in sealing a Tailed Beast.
Think about that for a second.
Hashirama Senju, the man who could wrestle Kurama into submission, still turned to Ashina when it came to sealing.
Together with the Senju and Uzumaki shinobi, Ashina trapped the beast.
And despite being an old man with a completely white beard, he sealed it in mere moments.
Which tells you just how terrifying his mastery of fūinjutsu really was.
And judging by the two swords he carried on his back, Ashina wasn't just a seal master.
He was a warrior as well.
Powered by the legendary vitality of the Uzumaki bloodline.
Which is why many fans believe Ashina Uzumaki may have been one of the strongest shinobi of his era.
A man powerful enough that even the God of Shinobi respected him as an equal. 👀⚡
Which raises the real question:
Who was stronger—Ashina Uzumaki or Tobirama Senju? 🔥
