Headcanon Hell: Naruto #2
Uzumaki clan hair colour.
When I, once again watched a YT short about Uzumaki clan - showing all its members, I once again noticed that Ashina stands out with his white hair.
As we know, Naruto is blonde thanks to Minato's strong genes. But we also know that the Uzumaki's are known for their red hair and vitality. Using Mito as an example, we can see that even as they age, their hair color fade away, but it doesn't turn white (I've seen this phenomenon in some people with dark hair, so I'm assuming it can work that way).
Therefore, I like to imagine that there was a lineage in the clan whose members had biologically white hair throughout their lives. About 80% or 85% of the clan had red hair. 10-15% had white. The rest came from mixed marriages (so about 5-10%).
This headcanon popped into my head thanks to a movie character - Ryuzetsu. Her abilities (and being from the same village as Karin, aka Kusagakure) led many to attribute her to the Uzumaki clan. And I agree.
From what I remember, quite a few people in the fandom thought Jiraya was part Uzumaki (part Hatake - mainly hair and summoning) because he was also good at sealing jutsu (and learned from Mito?).
Uzumaki, having several members with naturally white hair, would fit in quite well with these two.
That's it. That's the headcanon. White haired Uzumaki.
