This is how each ninja progresses.
Uchiha: Unlocks the sharingan
Senju: Learns to control their huge amounts of chakra
Uchiha: Unlocks the mangekyo sharingan
Senju: Discovers kkg, or special technique(ftg) etc.
Uchiha: Gains eternal mangekyo sharingan
Senju: Learn sage mode
Thoughts?
As we learned rinnegan has nothing to do with uchiha or senju, you just need indra/ashura chakra combined. But if you want to include rinnegan than the opposite power up would be a biju/jinchuriki.
Thoughts?
I agree with the idea that there are levels to the skill. I also agree with the notion that uchiha and Senju were made as polar opposites to be equal in magnitude, simply stating that their potential are both great.
Small issue is that senju were known for techniques and having a mastery of many different types of jutsu. They called Senju clan of 1000 techniques. THe Uzumaki who were their distant cousins were known for their chakra. But that doesn't refute your information.
The only real thing I have an issue with is there is no particular order to the madness (except sharingan).
Looking at madara and hari, theoretically should be the same as looking at naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto | Sasuke
Shadow clone | sharingan
Rasengan | Chidori
ninetail cloak | cursed seal mark
Sage Mode | MS
KCM(Kyuubi Chakra Mode) |EMS
RSM(Rikudou Sage Mode) |Rinnegan
But this is the special case for the originators of the clans.
Looking at any other Uchiha/Senju comparison
The limit of the uchiha clan seems op after Sharingan because there arent many Mangekyou users.
There aren't many senjus either to poll data but using Tobirama, Tsunade, Jiraya and kakashi as Senju, and Itachi, Obito, Shisui, and Kagami as other uchihas...
We see that no uchiha makes it eternal except for *Indra* that we know of. we also only know of Jiraya and Minato(who manga doesn't state as senju) to use sage mode. Tobirama never brought up any instance of sage mode, Jiraya/minato/naruto were taught by the frogs.
We see there is obviously steps/training that are to be taken in order for one to become stronger. To label it a process I believe makes it seem sequenced.
Probably got it by training I doubt he had 2 best friends or else he would have said he killed his other friend to get it. What Itachi said doesn't count either cause the manga showed it wrong. So no one knows I guess.
It is rather confusing...
Itachi states Madara and Izuna trained together and got strong and became the head of their clan together. They both awaken the Mangekyou through killing their best friends. Madara used his eye too much, became blind.. and killed Izuna to awaken EMS.
To be honest, we don't know if itachi made that story up in order to further convince sasuke of his false mal intent.
The anime shows.. Madara first acquiring his Sharingan when he had to disown Hashirama as his friend as a kid.
Acquiring MS was never shown in the anime. In fact they imply that it was skipped like Vegeta did ss3 and went straight to EMS when izuna was killed by the wounds inflicted by Tobirama.
But that part was a filler.
