However, that doesn't mean it's easy. It basically seems that a non-senju can learn only some of their techniques, while a Senju can learn all of them.

The Uchiha have their Sharingan, which basically makes you a Chunin-level ninja immediately and at 3 tomoe it's near Jonin level. Mangekyou makes you near instantly Kage level. Yet the Senju matched this kind of power without it. Even Izuna -who had MS- was defeated by Tobirama.
