Thanks for your insights :) Normally i'd agree with your original statement, but i just dont believe an entire clan dies out over ~60 years due to any single cause. Unless the Senju were deliberately disbanded. BakumatsuWarrior wrote: That's what I thought when I first saw Asura's Chakra Mode in the manga. I think it's a lot more logical to assume that Kurama is the one that's special (A fairly obvious shared trait among the jinchuriki) rather than every jinchuriki ever. And i think it's a lot more logical to assume the one person who deviates from everyone else, Ashura, was different rather than assuming everyone else is. I don't believe Minato is a Secret Senju.

The Sennin aren't members of any special clan yet do unique things. Lee and Guy do unique things but aren't members of any clan. '''A handful of clans have powerful abilities which ensure they often produce remarkable Ninja. That doesn't mean every special ninja has to be of a special clan.'''

GoldLiger wrote: All these techniques are known to be mastered by those in the Ootsutsuki bloodline. That's the most twisted logic i've seen so far. Hiraishin is only used by one other person. statistically, your arugment is completely unfounded. Sage mode: Kabuto and Orochimaru are thus secret Senju too? Chakra mode: Kurama having his own type of Jinchuriki interaction is one thing. Claiming that it's a trademark of an entire clan including people who aren't even member of said clan is ridiculous.
