I've been thinking about this for a while now, so what do you think?

They seem to have a few things in common, so let's list a couple.

Tobirama

Both of them seem to be able to sense the enemy's presence by putting their fingers on the ground like they did on panel. Not to mention that there's 20 enemies in both cases? Sounds like a parallel there...

So Minato and Tobirama are both known for their exceptional S/T skills? Seems odd that Minato references him too. Again it could just be another passed on trait.

_______________________________________________________________

Tobirama created Edo Tensei. Minato created the Reaper Death Seal. Doesn't it seem weird that, years later, Minato's technique would be Hiruzen's trump card in dealing with Edo tensei during his fight against Orochimaru? I think that Minato created the seal as a means to counter-act Edo Tensei somehow.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but what do you think? Can Minato Namikaze be part Senju after all?

it's possible.... but unlikely at this point in the manga, because it would be just a random fact now xd

Nobody knows for sure, but would be great if they are related.

It seems pretty obvious to me. And I hope you're right OP.

Would you say that Minato is also related to Hashirama? Because remember, Hashirama and Tobirama were brothers...

It would be awesome if your theory would be truth, then Naruto would be an Uzumaki an a Senju clan member cool
(Tobi even said that he saw Hashirama in him in chapter 462 page 14)

One thing to say. There some relations in Naruto's name and Namikaze Minato.

If you write Uzumaki Naruto in Kanji then it is 渦巻 鳴戸

And Namikaze Minato 波風 港

Then Tobirama in Kanji is 扉間

渦, 波, 港 are related with water, the most famous ability of Tobirama

戸 and 扉 mean "doors", 扉 made from 戸 and 非 (非 has both good and bad meaning U_U but it's not necessary)

Remember how Tobi told Sasuke that as time went on the leadership remained in Senju hands? Maybe that is what he is talking about.
