Senju Clan



The Senju Clan of the Forest is one of the strongest and feared clan during the First Shinobi Wars—as what Madara Uchiha discussed to Sasuke Uchiha in their conversation regarding to "realities of Itachi Uchiha".

About
During the early times of ninja world, when Ninja Villages were not been founded yet, ninjas were just an armed militia hired by countries who use them with their conventual armies to gain power and expand territories. Among the numerous known ninja clans, two were feared as the strongest, the Uchiha clan and the Senju Clan of the Forest. During the founding of Konohagakure, the great leaders of these two great clans merged their powers in order to gain control over the other weaker clans. Later on as the new founded village is still under development, both the great Clan leaders have misunderstanding in their philosophies and rulings for the village. The conflict resulted a battle for supremacy by both clan leaders, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. However, Hashirama Senju won the battle at the Valley of the End, and gained the title First Hokage. The defeat of Madara led him deserting the village and his own clan members under the reign of the First Hokage. It is unknown what happened to the Senju clan later, but it is assumed that the clan, now considered the people of Konoha, eventually dropped their name and broke up into several minor clans. Tsunade and the late Nawaki, however, could still boast the Senju name, being a direct descendant of Hashirama, the clan's leader. It is debated, however, if Tsunade's surname is Senju.
