I have an idea for you guys to consider. The uchiha had a binding factor their clan which was their sharigan. The Senju were just skilled overall with huge chakra reserves and stud bodies. The only thing that held the senju together prior to the formation of the village when they were a hard clan was war. After that there was nothing to hold them together. They weren't unique from other except for the fact that they were stud shinobi. The clan and name doesn't exist in its previous form but that does not mean they died out. The most rational idea is that they reproduced with other clans and people and fell apart due to the lack of "adhesive" the clan is dead but that essence that will of fire and that Hashi drive still exist in the vilage. I name Hashi because he was the clan leader. There is no confirmation that the Senju clan member's are dead as is with other clans. if you consider this idea along with the theme of will of fire. The fact that the clan name is not seen anymore doesn't mean the clan is dead. they sewed their seed because they were great mates. When you think about it one thing becomes clear. Konoha is the embodiment of the Senju clan. That is most likely a product of the clan spreading in the village and passing down the senju Ideologies to their children.

Sorry i can't agree with your logic, they went to war became the only clan that could rival the Uchiha and fought with them multiple times, keep in mind that this is war i.e. people died, they had their pride, and followed it to dominate the Uchiha clan when the were weak, and they were obviously revered a a clan, i'm pretty sure if they function like a band of mercenaries as you've implied they won't have earned the rep they did.

Almost got carried away there and forgot the main topic, a clan intermarrying with outsiders to the point of dwindling their numbers so(Tsunade is the only we know after a few generations) is the same thing as dying out

there are valid points to both our ideas and i get what you're saying. The way I see it Hashi's marriage to Mito stood as a precedent. Somewhat of a directive for the clan. In the series You rarely see the older super close clan marrying out. It's an assumption to say this but I feel it is a safe one. During the Warring years Marriages outside of the clan were extremely rear. This is why I myself regard the Mito marriage as a statement. That emphasis of oneness among the villagers. Also I wasn't disputing the fact that the Senju name is no more than lore now. Im only saying figuratively that the Senju clan isn't dead because the ideologies the clan leader spread in his clan are stil prevalent a century or so later.

Edit. I reread myother response and yours and it made me think. I wasn't saying they were mercs. I was saying that they were less bound than other clan so it was easier for them to disappear into the village and spread their roots in the village
