All shinobi are members of a clan that belongs to one of the Hidden Settlements. Some are friends and exchange skills, while others are at enmity with each other. As a result of this, the Shinobi World Wars arose. Some of the strongest clans are Senju and Uchiha. Their shinobi were among the most powerful ninja.

Senju clan

He is one of the founders of the Hidden Leaf Village. It is also called the clan of the forest. The Senju clan influences the politics of the village through the Will of Fire. The Will of Fire is the life philosophy of Hidden Leaf Village. The followers of this philosophy considered the key to everything - love. The villagers and the Senju clan believed that all the inhabitants of the settlement were one big family. Everyone had to take care of each other and protect their lands.

The Senju clan founded Asura Ōtsutsuki. Unlike other communities, they did not have any particular technique or skill. Shinobi Senju were well versed in all types of martial arts. Even the name of the clan itself is translated as "a thousand skills". Even though the Senju were known as the forest clan, only Hashirama controlled the Wood element.

Representatives of this community were the strongest among all ninjas. They were alsoclose allies of another shinobi community, the Uzumaki. Some representatives of these two organizations created families. The sign of the Senju clan is similar to the Vajra symbol found in Hinduism and Buddhism. It denotes indestructible power and this emphasizes that the representatives of the group are one of the most powerful ninjas.

Uchiha clan

This is one of the noble clans of Hidden Leaf Village. They earned the title of the strongest thanks to the Sharingan - this is an improved shinobi genome of this clan, which selectively manifests itself in Uchiha representatives. They also stood out for their fighting skills.

After the village was established, the Uchiha took less and less part in the life of the village. The high point in the development of the conflict was the extermination of almost all representatives of the clan. Only a few survived during the events described in the manga.

The Uchiha clan was founded by Indra Ōtsutsuki, Asura's older brother. Unlike him, he believed that everything can be achieved only with the help of force. The shinobi of this clan were distinguished by increased emotionality, which originated from love for a loved one or family member. But she could also turn into hatred if a shinobi lost a loved one and a person dear to him. And because of this, the Sharingan awakens. Thanks to him, the Uchiha clan began to stand out from other shinobi.

Confrontation

The struggle between the Uchiha and Senju clans began from the time when Indra and Asura parted ways in their philosophy of life. The Sage of the Six Paths appointed Asura as his successor, whichcaused Indra's anger. He challenges his younger brother to a duel. That is why the representatives of the two clans continue to fight each other.

During any military conflicts, if one of the parties hired Senju, then the other would certainly Uchiha. This further complicated relations between the clans. But due to constant military conflicts, representatives of both communities were tired and wanted to live peacefully together.

Result of the struggle

Despite all the efforts of Hashirama Senju to establish peace and harmony between the two clans, the oppression of the Uchiha gradually began. During the mass extermination of this clan, all three of its representatives remained. One of them is Sasuke. Then he marries and has a daughter, thereby laying the foundation for a new clan of his clan.

In the manga, there is no exact data on whether the Senju are still active. Most likely, the clan no longer takes part in the management of the village. But his influence is still great: after all, it was his shinobi who laid the foundation for the Will of Fire and all the villagers considered themselves one big and friendly family that should take care of each other and protect their lands.
