Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-1872728-20160229033316

I have a couple of points:

Symbol: Uchiha's symbol has the moon symbol in it, and Uzumaki's symbol has the sun symbol in it, but Senju's symbol doesn't have the sun symbol in it.

Hair: Hamura (White - Kaguya) is main, Hagoromo (Red) is branch. Moon Otsutsuki (White - Hamura) is main, and Hyuga (Black) is branch. So Uzumaki (Red - Hagoromo) is main, Senju (Black) is branch of the main, and Uchiha (Black) is branch.

Special Ability: Uchiha has the ability to create a chakra structure (Susanoo), Uzumaki has that ability too (Adamantine Chains), and they both have the powers on par with a Tailed Beast, yet Senju doesn't have this special ability. Wood Release is less of a Senju ability and more like a Shinju ability, plus it's only shown to be used by one person only, and a special one too (Reincarnation of Asura).

The reason why "Uchiha vs Senju" in the Warring States Period is because the Uzumaki is a defensive clan and is more skilled in fuinjutsu, whereas the Senju is an offensive clan and is more skilled in ninjutsu.

Plus, it was never stated that the Uzumaki is branched off of Senju, it was only stated to be distantly related. According to my memory. Feel free to prove me wrong.
