Just that they are related to the Senju somehow. To be fair, if they were more distantly related to the Senju, such as by being descended from Hamura, no one would remember that. The fact that they are explicitly stated to be distantly related to the Senju suggests that their kinship is still traceable, in a way that both clans could confirm it.
