"the Uzumaki do not share anything with the Uchiha."/""Senju and Uchiha share the same sage lineage directly, since their clans come directly from the two sons. This is proven in the manga, you can't ignore this. It means the the uchiha lineage is just as potent as the senju lineage. So for your theory to be correct, all three would have to share that same ancestor, yet you highlight and connect only two in your diagram."
I did not touch up on the relation between uchiha and the uzumaki not because i could not,but only because the conversation in the thread never began to lean that way everyone was focused and persistant to talk about the senju.I will compare and contrast the similarities and then explain what they mean and how i came to the conclusion.The senju and uzumaki share the most obvious relations and charateristics to the sage himself but not because they are related to the uzumaki anymore then the uchiha.The relationship and characteristics shared between these two are manifested in other ways some not being visibly and readily apparent as others.The Uchiha do however share more aspects with the juubi but remember the Juubi was sealed inside the sage so anything resembling or sharing similar characteristics of the uchiha have witht he juubi is only possible through the sage.Before i get into the similarities of the uchiha and the juubi i would mention the few things they share with the sage.The Elder son inherited the Sage's his powerful chakra and spiritual energy manifesting in his eyes and aquiring the yin nature of his chakra.Red is a common hair colour among the members of the Uzumaki clan and The Elder sons Dojustu is Red.(I am not sure if you read the conversation i had a page or two back in this thread but it concerned the significance of colors.Kishi has used color as way to symbolize before [example being minato and kushina having red hair and blonde hair which is melded togerher to make naruto's orange outfit]The elder sons eyes share a remarkable resemblance to the uzumaki clan symbol with the addition of one extra swirl.

The Uzumaki are renowned for their funinjustu which they used to seal and extract tailed beast which gave control over them.The uchiha through their gifted eyes also wield the power to have the tailed beast succumb to them even though the methods vary these are the only two clans with a distinct way of taking advantage of the tailed beast do you not consider that a similarity ?The strong chakra of the uzumaki is utilized through seals(the seals being the catalyst for the uzumakis chakra)(the uchiha use the powers manifested in their eyes as the catalyst to subdue the beast)
"Look at your diagram one more time to understand what I'm saying. On your tree of life, you have Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha. You have Uzumaki as the main, or "untainted" branch."
Untainted was a bad metaphor.Think of it as this the sage(uzumaki)had the rinnegan(progenitor gene)which cannot replicate only those who wield the exact blood or chakra can obtain it.When the two sons were born the dna was split forever losing that specific gene.When the uchiha and senju combine they make the rinnegan.Madara was able to use nagato as a host because he retained the original chakra that broke off into the two sons.He is essentially the full package but many misunderstood me and assumed i was saying that the uzumaki retains all the powers of the two clans.He just holds the genetic make up that led to the uchiha and senju he does not have access to either clans unique powers.The chakra was passed down from the sage to the sons who went on to morph the nature of their chakra into something else entirely.The sharingan and senju have individual powers that the uzumaki do not possess.I am just saying that the origin of the powers lie with the uzumaki who originally split his chakra into two sons to allow that evolution to take place.By no means will a uzumaki pop up with a sharingan.They were merely catalyst for their dna.And since the senju and uchiha essentially hold the general make up of the uzumaki Madara is able to insert his rinnegan(dna of both uchiha and senju)in Nagato uzumaki and he is able to retain it.
"but you fail to realize that the Uzumaki powers are watered down versions of the Senju, implying that the Senju came first."
The uzumaki have longevity and a strong life force.The Senju Ancestor inherited the Sage's life force and physical energy aquiring the yang nature of his chakra.Now why does that part about inheriting life force and physicalenergy sound familliar ? Its because the uzumaki are known to have exactly that if the senju were the ancestors of the uzumaki then they would have more traits then the uzumaki yet they do not they share those two similarities and the uzumaki retain a third characteristic not found in the senju which is longevity.
FACT: "The Senju can also control tailed beasts WITHOUT having to be their hosts (ex: hashirama). The Uzumaki can't control tailed beasts, their chakra can ony supress tailed beast chakra."
The above statement only proves hashirama can control the beast how does that correlate to the whole clan being able to do so ?On what premise ?Hashi has shown to be able to do mnay things that other senju have not been able to do (mokuton as a prime example)The only thing we know about hashirama is that he took the tailest beast out of madaras control nowhere is it ever stated they he aserted his dominance over the beast any differently then the uzumaki or uchiha.(as they hold close relations its possible they taught him how to do so)plus this panel shows that each time he was contained it was against his will so all acts of controling the tailed beast should be consider oppression.

What this proves is that all 3 demonstrates the ability to supress the beast.And in turn creates another similarity shared between not just the uzumaki and senju but the uchiha and uzumaki as well.
"The fact that the Uzumaki have a lesser ability to contain the tailed beasts adds weight to the idea that they came last"
How did you come to this conclusion do you have any evidence to back this up ?No.Can you provide any examples to as where this event might of been true in some way (like say being able to show me a time where the senju and uzumaki both supressed a beast and explain what was the deciding factor on how you came to the conclusion to which was more effective ? No. so do not throw around useless assumptions i thought you were adressing facts ?
"Another thing to point out is that the healing abilities of the Senju were far more advanced than the Uzumaki as well. Uzumaki have lots of life energy and good healing abilities, but the senju were known to be superior in both of those aspects. Also note that the Senju were experts in sealing as well as the Uzumaki, and were probably superior. "
Ojnce again can you back these claims up using facts and showcasing examples other then your opinion ?Its funny that you mention this because there is one trait the uzumaki and senju do not share and that is there the longevity that provide them with an outstanding life span(mito uzumaki having lived her adult life through the reign of the first three Hokage.)another thing your going to say the senju were experts in sealing which not backed up by any evidence and then continue to say the clan who was renowned for the funinjustu (which is the reason they got killed) was beaten out by the senju ? Should i mention that you once again provide no evidence or should i just laugh at statement how does one constantly throw the word fact in there post without even backing it up with thus said 'facts' and "probably superior" ? really ? what happened to the facts when did you start guessing ? guessing has no merit here.
"The manga has expressed numerous times the connection between the Uzumaki and the Senju"
there is only two references as of now.I would try learning to count pass two lol
I do hope one day you actually provide facts i look forward to that day hopefully its sooner then later
AFTER READING YOUR TEDIOUS AND HORRENDOUSLY FLAWED 'ARGUMENT' WHICH WAS FILLED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXAMPLES OR FACTS THAT SHOWCASED YOUR POINTS.I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION YOU ARE SOMEONE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.I THOUGHT THAT YOUR POST WOULD CHALLENGE ME GIVING ITS LENGTH BUT ITS LITERALLY JUST YOU SPOUTING RANDOM ASSUMPTIONS AND PERSONAL OPINIONS NEITHER OF WHICH YOU BOTHER TO PROVIDE FACTS OR EXAMPLES FOR.SO THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST TIME I REPLY TO YOU.YOUR LUCKY I EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS CRAP AND GO ONE STEP FURTHER BY REPLYING WHICH I MAINLY DID JUST TO POINT OUT HOW WRONG YOU WERE .PLZ NEVER TRY TO 'DEBATE' WITH ME EVER AGAIN ):
