I think the name change is for minato.
Minato's name still is related to storms and at that point his fathers name was not yet revealed.
And to top it off the name is eventually changed to minato.
If there was still another uzumaki visible then you might have a theory to work with,however since there is no other unknown uzumaki on there anymore i am sure it has nothing to do with the sage.

I believe the reasoning for the last name is changed is because kishi finally decided to have his mom originate from the uzumaki clan and not minato

Maybe His names in the middle cos he's the 1st? Imagine a medal ceremony, 3rd is usually to the right (Naruto) 2nd to the left (Jiraiya) and 1st is in the middle, see where I've gone with this?

But the name that was changed too Minato meant Storm Whirlpool or something. It looked like the Uzumaki symbol.

He is not an Uzumaki, he is no clans or rather both Uchiha and Senju. He created those clans > Senju and Uzumaki are related > Uchiha and Hyuuga (doubt it) are related.

Rikudou is just a god, and I think that is his name.
The SO6P Never created the Senju nor Uchiha the two sons never call themselves Uchiha nor Senju it was many generations later that the descendant of the two brother call themselves Uchiha and Senju the curse ones for they betrayed the teaching Of the SO6P,the teaching of the Uzumaki.

O__O WTF!!!!! HOLY CRAP, YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME!!! *Bows Down* All hail the king of NB... All hail King Derp Obito

Granted I read somewhere that the names look scribble and so it is hard to make out what it says and that if the last name was Uzumaki you would expect the Kanji for Uzumaki to be the same as the one used in Naruto's name. But still this was extremely interesting.

I think the source where you got your translations from did not interpret it the right way. Because Minato summoning Gamabunta was in like the first episode was it not?

Otherwise we are basically saying Kishimoto is making simple plotholes. However that is not the case. And plus, if the above was the case it would've been a whole argument long time ago.

Nice observation though.

Interesting theory, but i'm still on the fence as to what his name is. However I strongly believe he may be an Uzumaki. As for his name... I would still say it's unknown. Nice theory though.

Like I've theorized way back in February:

The Elder Toad Sage was probably Rikudou Sennin's contract summon, since only Rikudou and him have been shown with the gift of divination/prophecy, not to mention the Elder Toad is stated to be thousands of years old, which probably means he existed during Rikudou's Era.

Now take a look at this:

More than once, the name "Arashi Uzumaki" has been shown to be written in the Toad's Summon Contract.

It is quite strange since in later chapters, Minato's name appears in Arashi's place:

It could be that Kishimoto decided to save Arashi Uzumaki's name later on for another character: Rikudou Sennin

This could be Rikudou Sennin's Real Name: "Arashi Uzumaki"

It would be a perfect name for Rikudou Sennin:

Arashi means "Storm"

Uzumaki うずまき means "Whirlpool"

So if we combine his name it would be:

Arashi Uzumaki: 嵐うずまき which literally translates into "Storm Spiral/Whirlpool"

UPDATE
We know the Sage's title is 六道仙人 or Rikudō Sennin or Sage of the Six Paths, but what if his title was also a clue to his name?

Rikudō roughly translates to Six Paths/Six Immortal Paths, Riku could mean Six and it could also mean "Land/Continent" or "Shore". Uzumaki 渦中 means Vortex/Whirlpool, now if S06P was an Uzumaki and his name was Riku, he would be Riku Uzumaki which would mean "Land of Whirlpools" If he was a Sennin or "Sage" then he would be called Sennin Riku Uzumaki セナりくうずまき or "Sage of the Land of Whirlpools"

So its either Arashi Uzumaki or Riku Uzumaki

Thoughts? Lol

My name is Lady Mokusei and I’m newbie at NB :O, but I often visited the site as a guest, and I was always amazed by your theories. But today I believe that this theory is not correct. This I only my opinion based on some data, so if you find some mistakes, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

The title of Rikudo Sennin is 六道仙人, Rikudo 六道 and Sennin 仙人. Try to write a word Rikudo at Japanese online dictionary ( ) . After the search you will see exactly the same characters as we’ve already seen 六道. These characters are kanji, logographic Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese writing system along with hiragana. The word in kanji六道 is written in hiragana like this りくどう, り (Ri), く (ku), ど (do), う (u) – Rikudou. The dictionary detected this word 六道 (Rikudou) in its Names and Places section as the name of the family or a surname. So, I think that Rikudo, actually, can be a surname of Shinobi no Kami (God of Shinobi).
However, as you probably noticed, this word, written in kanji六道, in hiragana is written like this りくどう – Rikudou (! Notice last letter u (う)). So I typed this word in kanji 六道 in the same dictionary and found out following meaning: Noun, Buddhist term; the six realms (Deva realm, Asura realm, Human realm, Animal realm, Hungry Ghost realm, Nakara realm). I read that Kishimoto Massashi holds particular interest for Buddhism, so I think that this meaning can be very important here, and I’m inclined to believe that Rikudo can be a surname of Shinobi no Kami.
But, to be completely sure I check out the details of the kanji (六道 - Rikudo). So, first character 六 has only one meaning and it is six, while second character 道has following meanings: course, district, journey, moral, road-way, street, teachings.
Sir Derp Obito, you were right that riku have meanings: land or shore, but in that case different character would be used in the title. It would be 陸, and written in hiragana like thisりく. Nevertheless, as we know, in the title we have this character 六 and its only meaning is six. All date that I used you can check in this dictionary here .
:bye:

i dint think the theory made alot of sense but i did find out alot interesting and unknown facts which were new to me...
so it was interesting reading through it.
unlike your other theory which were equivalent to a book(when compared in page length) i liked this much better.
other theory makes it look like your whole life revolves around naruto only.
