As titled, since the beginning of Naruto series, we have seen many shinobi with special facial features. Some are explained, some are unanswered.

For example, we know Naruto spot a whisker-like markings on his face due to the presence of the 9 tails. Gaara with his black eye ring due to the 1 tails. However, there are some Naruto characters which i felt an explanation is needed.

How did 2nd Hokage Tobirama have the red marking on his face? How did Jiraiya have the red marking on his face too? Are they related? They happened to have white color hair too. And for Tobirama, he seems to be the first and only Senju to spot the white hair and red line features. Could Kakashi, Kakashi's father and Jiraiya somehow belong to the family tree of Tobirama?

Now lets look at Orochimaru. Since young, he already had those snake-like feature on his face and eyes. Was his parents part of some Snake Clan? (Think Kiba's dog clan).

Have u guys ever wonder why?

naruto was born with the whisker marks he had them before he became the jinchuuriki
kushina didn't have them but her hair would sometimes look like the kyuubi's tails

No. Jiraiya's red marks were shorter when he was younger and got longer over the years. Idk what's up with Kisame. Hiruzen had normal eyes when he was little. He got black marks on the sides when he got older though. Ask Kishi, not me.

Jiraiya isn't related to Tobirama, we would've known because Tobirama is a senju and impretty sure the last descendant known of true senju blood is Tsunade

Naruto has those whiskers because kushina got pregnant while she was a jinchuriki, so naruto took the traits of both males that were in her....if you know what i mean ;)
