Thekillman wrote: Nope there aren't. In the manga, there are a total of 7 Mangekyo Sharingan users, in which 6 of them are Susanoo users, and all of them are Uchiha members excluding Indra. That's not rare, and there is no giant time skips between them either. Sharingan on the other hand, is a common thing both in the Warring States Period and after that (Konoha Police Force etc.). Thekillman wrote: Yet Naruto is a Jinchuriki, and could only rival Sasuke because of that. Sasuke has Sage Transformation for that. Plus, in the end, Sasuke also acquired all the Tailed Beasts' chakra, so in the final battle, they're equal as well. Thekillman wrote: Doesn't mean Uzushio has to copy that as the only way to show respect. That's true. Thekillman wrote: If it only manifested in females, Adamantine Chains would also be the number 1 most specific Kekkei Genkai in the Naruto verse, as the only KKG to bias gender. Before Naori, Izumi, and Sarada, Sharingans are only manifested on male Uchiha members, but we didn't see it as a male Uchiha only ability right? Sage Mode is shown to be achieved by males only, does that mean it can only be achieved by males?

Plus, excluding Boruto, there are only 2 male Uzumaki members shown (excluding flashbacks). They each have their own special ability as well: Nagato (Rinnegan, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path), and Naruto (Sage Mode, Tailed Beasts). So it's not that they don't or can't have the ability, it's that the ability is really not necessary for them. Thekillman wrote: they have large reserves and lifeforce just like the Uzumaki. It would make sense for them to have common abilities since they have a common ancestor. Thekillman wrote: The Senju didn't specialize, rather they were well-versed in many jutsu. They have no easy-to-point-out powers, in gaming terms they had high base stats. This is too "normal" of a special compared to Uzumaki's "unique" special, because it's a skill you can get by training, while the Adamantine Chains is a skill you can get only by genetics. Plus it applies to other clans as well (e.g. Sarutobi Clan). Thekillman wrote: The Senju are stronger because they're also good at everything else. I'm not saying they're not as strong, I'm not saying they're not special either, I'm just saying they're not as special as Uzumaki. Thekillman wrote: Hashirama's the only known user, but they were known as the "Senju of the forest" so obviously it happened more often in the past. If that's the case then Madara, or even Orochimaru would know, don't you think? Plus, wouldn't it make more sense if they're known as "Senju of the Forest" because the leader (Hashirama) uses Wood Release and tend to change the battlefield into a forest using his signature technique Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees?
