NO!
A fodder clan? Wouldn't the Uzumaki fit that category? At first, we didn't know anything about them and we barely thought of them as relevant. But now that the three strongest clans were fighting against each other(Uchiha, Senju and Hagoromo), we still don't know if they're alive or not. We know the Hagoromo clan were FEARED by the Uchiha and Senju to actually go to war against them and exterminate them.
To me, this will be explained later by the flashbacks.
I'm speaking about the CLAN, not that character in particular.
I just found that character as reference. A character that was in a website since 2012 and how strange that kishi actually used that name for a clan.
