[Discussion] The big question about the Senju

[Kαmi]

There are no manga pages about what happened to the Senju, we all just assume they ever started to die out or they paired off with members of other clans.

Ofc we know that they have strong bodies but the scale of their strength varies.Unlike the uchiha,we don't know any special ability that is unique only for the senju.And knowing only 3 senju doesn't help in any way.I think my argument earlier would be the most plausible scenario cuz a clan as powerful as the senju will not just disappear without a trace.

Well you could say that the bodies alone are a trait but not so easily obvious and you're right on that. However, still the question remains. After all, Tobirama was as strict hokage who was against uchiha so he might didn't support the marriages between Senju and other clans exactly out of fear of that senju would be extincted, as it happened.

 

[The Paradox]

Well they are logical arguments but do you have even one page from the manga that can prove correct even one of them?

The second reason doesn't really need it. There are lots of times in the manga when the writer hasn't spelt out for you want happened/is happening/going to happen. It's up for the reader to figure that out, that's what makes the manga fun to read. So in this case, no there is no proof other than common knowledge and an educated guess as to what happened to the Senju. If there was proof of what everyone is suggesting, you wouldn't need to ask this question.

But still we only learn about Tsunade and Nawaki. It doesn't make any sense that only those 2 survived in the following years.

Why would tobirama be against inter-clan marriages while his brother himself married a woman from a foreign clan??
He was strict only when it came to the matter of safety for the village and it was never stated that he was against interclan relations.He himself could've done the same cuz we know nothing about his wife,if he had any

Not really. It might have been said somewhere and I may haven't paid attention to it.

Maybe but I was hoping for strong evidence other than just mere assumptions :'(

True but they're the only ones who are gonna get any attention since they descendants from the main Senju himself, Hashirama. Even Tsunade and Nawaki are diluted descendents, their grandmother is an Uzumaki.

If proof is what you're looking for,I've got none.It was never stated in the manga as to why the senju disappeared.I tried my best being logical

 

[neilson]

I haven't really thought about it this way...now I am curious

 

[sexywave]

I always wanted to know what happened to them did they get wipe out like the uchia after tsunade left.

 

[sexywave]

Now that I think about it I think madara was the cause of the uzumaki and senju clans destruction with the uzumaki sealing jutsu they would have been a great help to the war. maybe he got rid of them seeing them as a future problem for his plan, in the senju were stronger then uchiha so of course they had to taken care of just in case.
