During a war-torn era, the Vortex Clan ranked third among the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan. However, the establishment of Konohagakure by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha threatened other clans. Despite this, the Vortex Clan developed their village, the Vortex Tide Village. 

Vortex Tide Village's Superiority: Due to conflicts within Konohagakure, the village's power declined while the Vortex Tide Village became the strongest.

Their bad temper, fearsome sealing techniques, and unity posed a threat to other nations. 

The Tragic End: As a result, the Vortex Tide Village was besieged and faced a tragic downfall. Clan members were forced into hiding and their numbers dwindled. However, this led to the birth of Naruto Uzumaki. 

Heritage and Loss: Unlike his clan, Naruto did not inherit the red hair. Only Karin, a true descendant, possessed it.

Karin's lineage gave her healing abilities but also led to a tragic fate on the battlefield. 

The Precarious Legacy: In Boruto: Naruto's Next Generations, Naruto's son Boruto inherited blonde hair from Minato, while their daughter Himawari inherited black hair from Hinata. The Vortex Clan's distinctive features appear to have been lost. 

The Culprit: Minato Namikaze, a distant relative of the Senju Clan, may be responsible for erasing the Vortex Clan's red hair. This seemingly grassroots ninja possessed extraordinary abilities.
