I like where this is going.
The Uzumaki's are the ones that vanished. The Senju are generally still around from what I remember. You've got tsunade, most of the tribal elders are probably senjuu,the 3rd was probably one as well. etc etc. Harashima himself simply however was a ridiculous uber ninja so of course everyone isn't going to be as strong as him. The wood powers are fairly unique too which is why everyone has been doing their damn best to actually unlock them.
There's no real reason to think the senjuu aren't still around. We see a very small section of the ninja populace for the most part. Look at how long it took for Danzo to show up despite him fucking up each and causing almost every single problem in the series so far.
We need to take a betting pool on how Danzo killed Rin. I call dibs on she was healing some ninjas when Danzo decided to retreat and to blow the area she was the fuck up in order to slow down enemy troops.
It was said that danzo killed rin?
I remember something saying the Uzimaki aren't vanished, they just live separate from the rest of the village because they did not want their retarded strong sealing jutsu to be in close proximity of Kurama so that he couldn't be stolen. That's how they knew to kidnap Naruto's mom as a child, since her chakra was so special. The symbol on the back of the leaf jacket thingee is a combination of the senju tribe and the Uzimaki, showing how close the two villages are to each other.
I'd have to go way back to check but I was under the impression that she was referred to as the last surviving descendant of Harashima specifically. It seems awfully retarded to actually let the only bloodline that can defeat/rival an uchiha in battle die out when you have thousands of resentful motherfuckers living as next door neighbors.
It'd make sense if the timeline was hundreds and hundreds of years. Sometimes bloodlines just die out naturally... As far as I can figure though, Konoha and the other great nations aren't even 100 years old.
Really I think it's just written that way so there isn't a direct counter to the Sharinganhax in the Narutoverse. If Konoha had hundreds of treehax people at their disposal, there really wouldn't be a story.
Wassup with the mokuton jutsu? Was it ever claimed as a blood-line jutsu or just something flat out specific to the first hokage?
I think it was specific (or at least rare within the senjuu clan itself) to the first since his brother to our knowledge didn't have any mastery over something his own brother could have at least given a lesson or two on and the constant attempts using the first's cells to replicate his specific power that have happened since his death. If it was just some existing bloodline ability it wouldnt be regarded nearly as special as it is nowadays. If it is a bloodline ability( appears to partially be so given that tsunade has at least some abilities available) he was probably a mutation and as such he's the first one to have it.
Not everyone had treehax in the clan. The clan in general was just that powerful overall. Madara/etc were special cases while most uichiha were first level sharringan or Sasuke(when not protected by plot) level. Aka they were dangerous to most but the really strong clans like the senjuu could still take them down.
They call it a bloodline limit, but Hashirama was the only person to ever use it from his bloodline. So it's probably something that took him decades of mastering. Tsuande might be able to use the techniques if she ever attempted to learn the shit. Or Mr awesome first hokage would teach all his blood relatives to use this pwn justu... Which you'd think you'd want to considering it's called the most powerful technique in the ninja world.
But, ya know, plotjutsu.
I'm still calling this Hashirama being this ultra powerful get on your knees, suck his dick to pay respect, my wood jutsu fucks up the world status a huge ass retcon. This nigga wasn't all that particularly impressive against the 3rd Hokage and there's no reason to believe he was weaker then his real life counter-part due to Edo Tensei. It's just such a dramatic turn around lol.
Kabuto saying he has a better grasp of Edo Tensei can be argued he can just control more people, letting the zombie go batshit insane at their fullpower isn't indicative of anything he specifically improved on.
