Up until now, only people from the Uzumaki clan were shown to host the Nine-
Tails:

  1. Mito Uzumaki
  2. Kushina Uzumaki
  3. Naruto Uzumaki

were all shown as the Jinchuuriki for the Nine-Tails.

Why can't people from other clans be hosts of the Nine-Tails?

Why do only people from the Uzumaki Clan get chosen as the Jinchuuriki for the Nine-Tails?


The answer pretty much lies on the skills and abilities of the Uzumaki Clan.

1st: _Members of this clan were very knowledgeable in the art of fūinjutsu,
and were both respected, and feared worldwide because of their prodigious
skill._ **Fūinjutsu** _are a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings,
chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object.
Fūinjutsu can also be used to unseal objects either from within something or
someone._

2nd: The Uzumaki Clan lives in Uzushiogakure. The people of Uzushiogakure were
noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the epithet **"The Village
of Longevity"**. The clan's life force was the reason Kushina survived the
extraction of her tailed beast, despite additionally just giving birth only
moments before, though she was left severely weakened.

These two (as far as I know) are the reasons why they are a chosen to be
jinchuriki.

And another thing, if you analyze the situation, as the parent or member of
certain clan that possesses a Kyubi, it is more likely for them to give the
Kyubi as an inheritance for the next generation (Ex: Kushina to Naruto: given
also the fact that they have the required skill to do that)

As explained by Motoi in Chapter 493, Jinchuriki are usually chosen among the
spouses, siblings or close relatives of the Kage (and not just in Konoha).
This reduces the danger of the Jinchuriki betraying the village, and also
serves to protect the Kage and display the Kage's power.

Mito and Kushina were primarily chosen because they were the wives of the
First and Fourth Hokage respectively. Them belonging to the Uzumaki clan was
also a factor in choosing them over others, for reasons well explained by
Christian Mark in another answer. Naruto becoming the Jinchuriki was not pre-
planned, it was a decision the Fourth Hokage took during the battle against
Kyuubi.

Because it was first put into an Uzumaki and it has been passed on from
generation. It was first sealed into Mito Uzumaki, then Kushina Uzumaki, and
during the Nine-Tails attack, Minato sealed the yang-half of the Nine-Tails
into Naruto while sealing the yin-half in himself.

So right now, Minato and Naruto are both Jinchuriki's of the Nine-Tails and
that also means that Minato is the only non-Uzumaki member with the Nine-Tails
inside him since his last name is Namikaze.

The Uzumaki Clan are the ONLY clan capable to holding down the Kyuubi No
Kitsune because they have the proper techniques to bind the beast. The Uzumaki
are best in fuinjutsu so their chakra and techniques are best when it comes to
holding him down. Not only that, others would die becoming the Jinchuuriki.

The reason only Uzumaki, is because the members of the Uzumaki Clan, such as
Kushina, have a stronger life force and a longer lifespan, an example is that
Mito Uzumaki survived since Konoha's Creation to the time of the Third Hokage.

It also explains why Kushina didn't die as soon as the Kyuubi was set free,
due to this fact, Only Uzumaki were chosen to become the Nine Tails
Jinchuuriki.

All Uzumaki have a great amount of Chakra reserves, and Additionally, have a
large amount of experience in sealing techniques.

The reason is none of the above.

Mito wasn't chosen to be a host. She sealed the nine tails in herself of her
own accord when it was freed from Madara's control. This is the reason that
she, an Uzumaki, was the first Jin of the 9 tails.

Kushina was chosen because even among the Uzumaki clan, her chakra was said to
be special and unique.

In Naruto's case, Minato chose his son so that he could be a hero, also
selfishly, so that he and Kushina could see him when it's needed.

Only one Uzumaki was ever chosen and that was Kushina.
