Was Kushina the last of the Uzumaki clan and if not why did none of her family
take Naruto on as an orphan? Who was the Namikaze's and why have we never
heard of another one?

Were both Kushina and Minato orphans themselves? What is the story behind
Naruto's extended family?

What happened to Naruto's grandparents?


The Uzumaki clan and it's village was destroyed some time after Kushina came
to Konoha. Survivors went into hiding and and spread throughout the world.  
It is unlikely that direct relatives of Kushina survived.  
Regarding Minatos parents we just don't know anything about them.  
But considering that the third shinobi world war took place at that time where
even children barely out of the academy were send to fight it might be a
reasonable assumption that his parents died in it.
