In this thread I am going to state why I think Hanzo of the Salamander could potentially be an Uzumaki, Granted chances are that there wont be any conclusive evidence that he is but I think I can build a strong case for people to agree that it is a possibility. And like usual, Read ALL of it before posting.

Alot of people already know that Hanzo of the Salamander is hands down one of the strongest ninja in the Narutoverse, but why is that? What makes him so strong? Could there be something in his blood that makes him stand out... Get some chips, some dip and a drink and enjoy the story of Hanzo Uzumaki.


Hanzo of Amegakure

Before we get to the good stuff let us to compare the symbol of the Uzushiogakure to that of the symbol of Amegakure.

Uzushiogakure

One thing you notice is that they are very different, one is simply 4 lines while the other is a swirl pattern amd there is no room for ambiguity in regards to what each relates to, one symbol refers to rain drops while the other refers to a whirlpool. Keep that in mind as we move forward. The next images I want to show you are ones of Hanzo of the Salamander, do any two patterns particularly stand out to you?

The two patterns that stand out the most to you would be... thats right the Amegakure symbol on his mask and the Uzushiogakure symbol on his chest. But even take notice the 2nd image, the wave like swirls in the background? Keep in mind that Uzushiogakure is known as the Land of Whirlpools or the village hidden in the whirlpool. The waves in the background of the 2nd image are very symbolic to Hanzo's home village.

Hanzo of the Salamander

Now I want to talk about the feats of Hanzo of the Salamander. As we already know Uzumaki have accomplished very great feats in the Naruto series.

Feats
  • Naruto has become a perfect jinchuriki along with completely several other feats
  • Karin can heal people that bite her
  • Mito was the first Jinchuriki
  • Kushina not only survived child birth but then had the 9 tails extracted from her afterwards she was managed to use a sealing jutsu to suppress the 9 tails and then managed to survive for quite some time after being impaled by the 9 tails.
  • Nagato destroyed konoha then brought everyone back to live, including using paths of pains to solo pretty much everyone in the village.
  • Gold and silver brothers survived eating the 9 tails flesh, not only did they survive but they become unperfect jinchuriki because of it. while when a hidden cloud ninja tried to do the same thing by eat he was dead within a week.

But what is one thing most all of these feats have in common? Vitality, Survival, and a strong will to live, The Uzumaki survive when others simply dont. And that speaks to the strong life force of the Uzumaki. And that leads me to my next point. Could Hanzo have displayed some feats that display a strong will or life force?

Now lets keep in mind a few things. When Hanzo implanted the Black Salamanders venom sac inside of him he was still a kid, and as we all know a kids tolerance for pain isn't anywhere as high as an adults is. Now not only did he survive implanting the venom sac inside of him but also managed to become immune to the poison. The same poison that would normally kill a grown adult male, heck Mifune was hit by a blade coated with small amounts of the poison and he was doomed to die within 2 days. And yet a kid managed to have the venom sac itself implanted inside of him?

Now let us take a look at his will power:

Now let us get one thing clear, going against the orders on the talisman is not an easy Feat. If that was the case then Asuma wouldnt have fought against his students, Dan wouldnt have fought against his comrades, the edo kages wouldnt have fought against there own villages. And Itachi and Pain wouldnt have fought against Naruto, the one person they both entrusted alot too. And yet Hanzo went against the talismans order to never commit suicide, this alone speaks volumes of the kind of will power Hanzo possess, with that lets move on to his feats of strenght:

I felt like this should deserve its own Semi Section just because Hanzo really does have some impressive, not including the 2 aforementioned feats. Lets start off with Feat #3:

You probably knew I was going to bring this up but yes, He not only defeated the Legendary Sannin in there youth, about the same age as Kakashi currently is, but DEFEATED an small konoha ARMY of ninja prior to doing it. Not to mention that he was so unthreatened by the Sannin that he allowed them to live under the condition that they take on the new title of the Legendary Sannin, which litterally means "Legendary 3 Ninja."

Now lets move on to his next feat which I believe to be the most impressive:

Look very closely at this map because this is going to be important try to find the Symbol for Amegakure on the map. If you do you will notice it is smack dab in the middle of pretty much ALL the other villages. And yet even with this positional disadvantage making Amegakure the battle grounds for wars fought between different villages Hanzo still managed to keep Amegakure in tact. Also keep in mind that this is around the same time where Uzushiogakure a village renown for there fuinjutsu and battle power, was destroyed. Can anyone find Uzushiogakure on the map? If you cant dont be embarrased, that would be because it is the little island that is as far as one can get from the fighting.

Hanzo of the ???

Now one of the last points I want to raise is why Hanzo's Uzumaki symbol is reversed, as you may or may not have noticed the Uzumaki symbol swirls in the other direction.

It is simple, hanzo no longer claims his ties to the Uzumaki village, he is now the leader of Amegakure and has no reason to cling on to his ties as an Uzumaki. Which may also be why his nickname Hanzo of the Salamander stuck so well. Someone like Hanzo who prides strength may even want to hide his heritage as an Uzumaki as it would undermine his accomplishments.

Now take note of something else, As a kid Hanzo never wore a shirt or battle armor, rather he went bare chested.

At this point I would like you to also keep in mind that Konoha had barely just been formed with the Uchiha and Senju just making peace.

We then see that some time after the formation of Konoha, Hanzo begins wearing the vest with the switched pattern.

But what could have happened to cause this change? Could it perhaps be that he mature and realized that walking around without a shirt on was bad for bussiness? Perhaps he realized that in order to run his village he would need to put on a shirt in order to gain the respect of his villagers?... , , .

Well if that isnt the reason then why would he suddenly change his appearance? What could have happened that would make him make him change his appearance in order to commemorate it? Ill tell you what... His home village formed a treaty with its distant relative sister village.

Now let us dive a little further into this because it really is interesting. The hidden leafs symbol does resemble the Uzumaki symbol. As it should because they are allies, prior to the Uzumaki being destroyed and all, and thus there Icons merged together and after the Uzumaki village was destroyed they kept it like that as a show of good faith. But there is one key thing about Konoha's symbol that you should probably pay attention too and that is, Much Like Hanzo's, there swirl spins backwards.

To me this shows that after hearing the news of his former village now becoming allies with Konoha and then hearing news of his former villages destruction he then decided to wear this new apparel in order to pay homage to his home village. Even going as far as to ally himself with certain Leaf Shinobi afterwards.

Lastly you may notice that Hanzo's hair isnt Red but it instead is Blonde, but as you may know there have been a few blonde Uzumaki, Ginkaku, Naruto. So his hair color being blonde only goes to show that he may be half Uzumaki.

Conclusion

In conclusion I just wanted to show that there are some evidences that would back up the claim that Hanzo could possibly be an Uzumaki. Although nothing here is conclusive it is food for thought.


I hope you Enjoyed Reading!!!

Yeah its far-fetched, but you cant deny its a good thread with a lot of connections. Its at least a plausible thought

It seems plausible, i wish we could have got deeper secondary character backgrounds rather than focus on boring main ones

When was Ginkaku mentioned to be an Uzumaki? Also, for him to be from the Uzumaki clan, it would most likely mean he would have to travel through Konoha just to settle in Amegakure. You also make assumptions, from assumptions you've made, off of one frame of the anime. You are running with an idea with practically no evidence.
This being said, I like that you are thinking outside the box, and can derive a vast theory from a few pages.

You pay a lot of attention to detail and after reading this I could half believe Hanzo could be an Uzumaki. I'm sure he isn't but who knows he could be.

great theory, as the others said we might never find out but you definitely back up your points very well.

You also make assumptions, from assumptions you've made, off of one frame of the anime. You are running with an idea with practically no evidence.
This being said, I like that you are thinking outside the box, and can derive a vast theory from a few pages.

My response to this:

1) Ginkaku was said to be related to the SO6P, and as it stands there are only 4 villages that are related to the SO6P. The Uchiha, The Senju, The Uzumaki, and The Hyuga. And seeing as they have no Byakugan, No Sharingan and are shown to how very strong life forces. Them being Uzumaki is the only viable option.

2) The premise of my theory is based on the fact that Hanzo was not raised in the Uzumaki village but rather was born there. And thus it is very possible that he moved to Amegakure prior to Konoha being created, since he is roughly the same age as Tobirama and hashirama. On top of that his dad/mom could have been an Uzumaki living in Amegakure and thus gave birth to him in Amegakure, somewhere as a kid letting him know about his Uzumaki Heritage.

3) You end with saying I make assumptions, you do nothing to tell me what assumptions I have made which would have been really easy as all you have to do is scroll up and copy and paste.... I cant really respond to you when I dont know what your criticizing.

4) Based on 1 frame from the manga I run with an idea without any evidence? I dont think you realize how manga's work. Your suppose to make theories based on what the manga gives you, via a frame/scan. Thats like saying, with just one sentence I am making an assumption based on what someone is saying.... umm arent I suppose to use sentences to do that or should I just ignore there words?

5) Well this is like a mixed completement... ill take it but keep in mind that Hanzo is talked about VERY LITTLE throughout the series, so when you say I use only a few pages to create a theory you have to realize I only had a few pages to work with. its not like theyve been talking about Hanzo throughout the entire series and I just picked and chose the parts that fit the point I was trying to make. Rather I had to search out for the places where they actually talked about Hanzo and used what I found in those scans to help make my case.

Thanks for the complement, granted you dont believe me, heck I just thought it was food for thought and wasnt going out to convince people that he is an Uzumaki, I appreciate the fact that you read and enjoyed it.
