Why were the Senju clan so powerful?

I think it's because

(1) Large chakra reserves, obviously

(2) They were masters of versatility. Unlike the Uchiha, who had similar techs, I think the Senju all mastered different techniques and jutsu. That's what made them so powerful. I mean, look at Tobirama and Hashirama. They're directly related, but they're so vastly different.

What do you guys think?

In all seriousness,i believe they were considered the strongest clan because they had Hashirama. :|

i think it was just a select few senju who were truly monsters on the battlefield and the rest were kinda just there. i mean why else would they all just disappear after the death of hashi and tobirama who coincidently were their strongest

The Senju were beating the Uchiha regardless of Hashirama.

That's what I don't get. Both translations say that both Uchiha and Senju had superior chakra, but different kinds of superior chakra. Yet the Naruto lore has shown several times, text and images, that the Senju clan came out on top in the end. What did the Senju clan have? Surely they didn't rely on their #1 and #2 men, so it had to be something about the Senju blood that was distinctively better quality than the Uchiha clan's "Superior Chakra".

What is it? What is it!? What is it, Precious?

Izuna was said to be on par with Madara and Tobirama killed Izuna.

Try again.

Clan of 1000 hands, 1000 skills.. they were all masters or very skilled in all forms of ninja combat... that , complimented with their chakra reserves would make them a force to be reckoned with..

Two is false bullsh!t.
It would be obvious if they mastered such things, but they haven't. They only know wood style and water, end of story. Its stupid to say because of chakra then Itachi would seem retarded.

Its plot no jutsu, just like Tobirama being the creator of the shadow clone jutsu. Its being made up as it goes.

"Byakugan is greater than sharingan."

- Kakashi

That was said, its false. Just because it was said doesn't mean its true. Hashirama only knows wood style and the second water, so its false. Kakashi has shown more and he's "the copy ninja."
