After I had read today's chapter, I sat there pondering how The Sage and Uzumakis could be related to one another, as many popular theories suggest. The link between the two is undeniable; Kaguyu is clearly the Reaper from the Reaper Death Seal, the popular horns among the Uzumaki are shared by The Sage and Kin, and they seem to know all of the Sage's sealing techniques. This would almost lead one to think they are related.
But then it occured to me:
The Sage was thought to be nothing less than a god, and as a priestly people, what if the Uzumaki simply worshipped him and his mother as such?
This explains any and all connections away.
Reaper Death Seal? In an attempt to reach the godly figure they worship, they created a technique that allows one to connect with one of them, specifically Kaguyu.
Why the horns, then? Simply enough, they want to take on the appearance of the god they worship, according to depictions.
His techniques of sealing and such that they know? Years of dedicated research to The Sage more than likely unveiled a few of his techniques, no doubt powerful and no doubt enough to make a clan feared by others.
To me, this makes more sense than the "Sage is Uzumaki" theory itself. This is hammered home by the fact that the Uzumaki are a priestly people, and what's the point of being priestly unless you have a god/diety of some sort to worship? You heard it here first, folks; The Sage is/was not Uzumaki, rather the Uzumaki worshipped him and attempted to impersonate/emulate him.
