Uzumaki weren't shown to be participating in the wars, so we don't really know if it's powerful or not. But judging by their ability to restrain Tailed Beasts, their power has to be on par with Senju and Uchiha imo.

Plus, the Uzumaki have their own designated land and village, and that's way more superior than just a village with mix clans.

Also, Konoha has the Uzumaki logo emblazoned on their uniform, while the Uzushio doesn't have the Senju logo emblazoned on their uniform, and that sounds like superiority to me. And no, it wasn't only after the destruction of Uzushio.

Hashirama and Tobirama are the strongest Senju, as well as the longest living Senju from the Warring States Period, so you would expect them to have most or even all of their clan's abilities, yet they haven't shown any ability that even resembles Uzumaki ability though. Legendary Super Saiya-Jin 4 wrote: This would be fitting with the clashing "body" and "eyes" theme anyway and it would make sense for the Senju to have something special to combat an entire clan of Sharingan-wielders raised in warring times. Senju have Sage Mode and Uzumaki have chakra structure (Adamantine Chains), while Uchiha has both Sharingan and chakra structure (Susanoo). Though Hashirama was the only one who achieved Sage Mode, and Wood Release is way too rare to be considered a Senju ability.
