Explains why Kushina fell for his wood. The release must have been crazy.
Holy lol
GET OUT
Yoooooo😂😂😂😂
Double entendre
*sigh* take your goddamn like
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him
Honestly I'm cool with Minato being a genetic anomaly. He was badass and deserves to be remembered like that
What do you mean he’s a generic anomaly
@@Lizardgreininja47449 He's not related to anyone of note. He's from a nobody clan. That makes him an anomaly
the senju abandoned any clan association. sooo...
@@aminurufai5741 so what? That just means Minato is related to them full stop? Nah let the man be who he is on his own. Let him be.
Being an anomaly allows him to be who he is, on his own. By his own merit
I agree, an out of nowhere prodigy unlike any other is a cool thing for Minato to be and something I have seen him as this entire time.
While it’s cool that he could be related to the Senju, I also like the idea that a no name clan could produce one of the strongest ninja in history
the namikaze are pretty well respected clan seeing as they have the storm release kekkei genkai sometimes
@@0neTrueGod that's actually from fans, we don´t know anything about the namikaze clan, I even guess they´re not a clan in general, just a normal last name and Minato was a prodigy that was born from it. After all, a genius could come from anywhere.
@@alexespinozareyes1965 there's a theory that the namikaze are members of the senju clan after they integrated themselves into the village
@@0neTrueGod well, that sounds interesting but with Minato being the only one of this clan, it kinda baffles me.
@@alexespinozareyes1965 You could theorize that perhaps they gave up their clan name and became a regular family. In the shinobi world, it's not far fetched at all for his parents to die in wartime.
I will always prefer the idea that characters like Minato, Jiraiya, and Might Guy are just powerful characters from no name unimportant clans. I think it adds a lot to the whole concept the early series tried to set of your innate talent doesn't matter as much as your determination and effort that was lost by the end of the series
Minato and Guy, yeah. Jiraiya should be related to tobirama and kakashi.
I always thought the idea of "innate talent" not mattering kinda falls apart immediately when one of the main characters has special super eyes and the other has unlimited chakra and a super powerful rage boost. If anything, Naruto as a story is all about "being born into power beats effort".
Does anyone agree that if Kushina is as strong as Minato, should she have a better skill set in the storm games?
She throws wooden spoons and beats people up with pots and pans, it's so rubbish and it needs to be sorted out.
yeah well she never actually fought until minatos manga she didnt have any fight scenes except hitting minato with pots and pans
This who thing is reckon
I’m sorry to me it seems like she’s supposed to be stronger honestly
@@andreroyal5852 you can say that but kishimoto doesnt focus on female characters to back up her being stronger than him especially since he had kcm i hope he doesnt botch sarada
@@elithebomberx3798 sarada and himawari should be done justice
I actually find Minato and Tobirama quite similar physically, especially the haircut even though the hair color is different but decolored hair to blond isn't so different, it's still a very light hair color. For the eye color Tobirama was most likely an albino because of the red eyes so we can't really take the eye color into account, not even the hair color when you think about it. Tobirama could have been blond without albinism. Psychologically speaking though, those two characters couldn't be more different lmao.
Tobirama's eyes are dark in the colored version of the manga
I guess he doesn't have albinism in the eyes in the manga then, only in his hair.
@@kyurei4478 him and Hashirama had a brother that had white and black hair
@@quentinjones6877 I know. His brother probably had piebaldism, also known as partial albinism.
I thought he was tsunade's son, I say that because he reminds me of her dead boyfriend(the one with blue hair)
Since a lot of Senju just married into various families in Konoha. I would not be surprised if Minato is a Senju in some way. Namikaze could just be those Senju who specialized in whatever jutsu Minato used prior to making the Rasengan. So i support Tobirama being his ancestor since a lot of stories follow with the idea of one dead character being reborn through their relatives lineage. Like Rengoku being reborn as a descendant of his younger brother. In thia case, Hashirama being reborn as Naruto. Keeping all Ashura rebirths in the Senju connection.
Good Theory Bruh 👍
Yeah, the intermarriage thing
Make sense
You should do a list of all the questions you want answered from Kishimoto by the end of Boruto.
How do you upload stickers??
What does Gojo have to do with this??
I love the idea of an old ass nick finding kishmoto in like his 60s after boruto and handing him book thicker than the Bible filled with questions
It could happen if enough people push for it
I also think Kakashi's father and Kakashi himself are also from Senju Regarding Minato, I have always suspected that he is a Senju, especially since his son Naruto or the child of the prophecy Ashura, who throughout their existence have always been a Senju.I am not surprised by this because apart from the clans, you will find that approximately 75 percent of Konoha's citizens have Senju blood Or one of their ancestors from Senju, so you don't find the Senju clan anymore because it has become too big to be just a clan.
Plus Kakashi has insane chakra reserves too.
@@CristanioPeweyyyand white hair
Kakashi has a trash chakra pool. Overall he really dosent have any good genetics. He is a genius at using chakra. While others needed to train until 12 years old like your regular genin Kakashi was already jonin level. Using chakra is just natural to him like Mozzart being a natural at playing piano from age 4.
@@settdunk6430 ???
I don't think so.. Kakashi's chakra above average at best... Not Senju level chakra
Jiriya and Minato and Guy being from non-famous clans was always a bright spot for me in Naruto. Being great despite your bloodline was always more relatable than being a spoiled kid with with all the genes and connections. (i.e Boruto)
Isn’t Naruto a kid with all the right gens and reincarnation and a child of prophecy
@@Poooppoop22Yes which is why Minato is the GOAT
@@Poooppoop22 Naruto wasn't in my list. He is like Boruto but with a shittier start and less connections.
@@Izzy-rh7br besides the legendary sannin who trained him and a personal relationship with the third hokage. I guess still spoiled tho.
@@Poooppoop22 He was great then they spoiled him. If he was a trash ninja... no one would of helped him at all.
Namikaze means wave so maybe hes from "Land of waves" its located in a Konoha island.Senju probably proposed marriage to main clan in Land of Waves to strengthen their bond like the Senju did with the Uzamakis. Could be why they went to the land of waves on their first mission with kakashi sakura and Sasuke
My theory is that all the Senju married into the clans and families that joined Konoha in order to reinforce the bonds among them but leading to more tensions with the Uchihas, that explains things like Moegi being able to use Mokuton.
This is actually stated. The Uchiha and Hyuga kept to themself to keep their bloodline pure and the senju spread their genes and increase the overal power of the village
yeah, but even though is kinda weird that there are no more pure Senju over there, I don't think ALL of them would like to be in breeding relationships with other clans, just like the Sarutobi clan, Akimichi clan, Nara clan, and Yamanaka clan who are very open to other people, are still in terms of their own lineage. I guess this is just bad wriing from Kishimoto.
You know, I actually rather like the idea that Minato just comes from a random clan and ended up being this prodigal. It gives it that edge of reality, quite frankly.
*prodigy, not prodigal
Yeah, I agree. Also, a rando rising up gives him an appealing "underdog" feel (even though we see everything after the fact)
Like Sakura.
Yeah, I’d always kinda assumed the Namikaze were just some random clan name somewhere in the Land of Fire or maybe other lands, and Minato was so gifted in Ninjutsu that they sent him to the Leaf academy.
@@blackfox4138Since Namikaze means "wave" he could have come from the Land of Waves.
@@tinkerermelon6599he is using the word as a adj. Prodigy works too though
Tobirama and Hashirama are brothers. Their children are cousins. Their grandchildren are second cousins. If Tsunade was Hashirama's daughter instead of Granddaughter, they'd be first cousins once removed, removed being the technical term for a generational gap. But because they're both grandchildren of two brothers, they are second cousins. You're welcome.
This theory also makes sense when you think about the Konoha symbol being a fusion of the Senju and Uzamaki. If Naruto is derived of both clans, it adds gravity to his love for his headband, his village, etc.
I always considered the clans of konoha being descended from the Senju , going from the “ clan of 1000 skills” to clans focused on one specific technique.
Minato and tobirama are not the only people who know the flying thunder god. The leaf village had a whole squad of joinin who knows the jutsu as well as in the 4th great ninia war they had a teleportation squad using the jutsu. Tobirama and minato are the only MASTERS of the jutsu so they can perform it solo
They were taught that jutsu by Minato because they were his bodyguard
that ssquad of 3 explicitly said minato taught it to them for an emergency like this while they were his bodyguards.
minato taught them that jutsu.
Dont you think its strange how they were the only too to master it tho…
@@slowginfrmtk9479 I believe it took 3 people all interconnecting and using the jutsu together to successfully use it though unless im mistaken
Honestly I thought everyone in kohona was a senju beside the uchihas. You looked at hashirama family? If that was the average looking senjus I don’t think it was too hard to branch the blood out. And I think the senju blood is 100% incorporated in boruto on the genin that seem to have way more potential than the parents. Maybe lack drive to become great but it is there
They really said “ gotta keep the blood royal”
@@justanamedude5494 I wonder if there’s any real world studies for that inbreeding to work as well as it did in naruto. 2000 years of war and a clan of maybe 3000 to start with and never marrying out working as well as it did is amazing. And the uzumaki, senju, hyugaa and sasuke marrying out prove the child get weaker. That is wild
@@josegar30in real life inbreeding causes genetic disease in a population, many royal families suffered from this so its more that powerful people commit incest rather than incest creating powerful people.
You are right the senju mingled with every clan
My problem with that is that Senju were stronger than the Uchiha overall. And if they were why are the Uchiha the most powerful clan in the hidden leaf village. Wouldn’t they be not special at the very least if everyone else had Senju blood? Just doesn’t make sense to me
This makes me wonder.... If Sakura comes from a nonshinobi family, why is she so skilled with chakra control? To add to the questions, in an alternate world, Naruto's parents are alive and active Shinobi.... but Sakura's father died as Hokage. Even though the worlds are different, they are also fairly similar.
I have a theory, Sakura is a Senju with more Senju blood than Tsunade has.
She too is a Senju
@@NeoXtreme_Gamingtsunade is the grandchild of hashirama and an uzumaki, while sakura would be from 2 generations after her. At the time tsunade was born the senju would have bred with other clans.
But Now EVERYONE is a Senju apparently! : D
It raises a Lot of Ideas around a LOT of Characters that Could've been better as soon as you throw some Hashiramidichlorions into the mix... explains all secret godly chákrâ capabilities in konoha if EVERYONE is a 3rd cousin of Hashirama or whatever... or something? hehe
I am really curious now what the deal is with various characters' backstories or if theyre just a name to subtly reference an old text and they didnt have big plans for making a character into whatever the heck a writer thought up for filler episodes or something Who Knows what's.. Well none of it is Real but... in other ways Much of it is Real... so.... I dunno man I gotta turn off part of my brain for a bit probably... hehe
@@DrJackShelton well, the first 2 humans 2 possess chakra were hagoromo and hamura otsutuki, and over the last 1,000 years ashuras decendents spread their genes across the 5 great nations, which led to everone having chakra, while indras decendents, the uchiha, only bred within the clan, until sasuke had sarada.
Senju = Thousand tasks
Kakashi = Thousand jitsu
That was the first person I ever thought was half senju. That most likely tobiramas child or grandchild had married into the hatake clan.
But they were other senjus who could of branches offed
@@jameshollister8294 Yes but tobiramas was the only one with white hair strong enough to have 2 Kage leveldecendants
Disagree... Tobiram was able to sense that Karin was Uzumaki. He would have probably commented on Minato.
Clicked on this as soon as you uploaded! I appreciate your content and really enjoy learning more/listening about the Naruto universe!! This was such a life changing anime for me personally. Hope all is well with the move and everything!! 😊
Random what if idea, what if the konoha 13 were born in each others clans? Like tenten as an inazuka or neji as an Uchiha. Basically shuffling around the clans the same way you shuffled around the teams
Dope.
We need that to happen
I think the greatest arguments for them being closely related has to do with the fact Hashirama and Tobirama's part of the clan seemed to be much more talented than the rest, the timeline fits for Tsunade and Minato being cousins and Tobirama most likely being in his prime as a Senju in his late fifties when he had a child and this would actually add more evidence to how and why Minato is so talented, even if Tobirama is Minato's father (which, apparently Tobirama died in his sixties and Konoha was founded at least forty years prior to that?) If you do the math then if Tobirama died the same year Minato was conceived, this would not only mean Tobirama had a child in his later years (it's highly probable since he's a Senju, so it's possible even in real life some older people can have children over fifty to sixty years old), but it makes sense as to how Minato would've been born in the second great shinobi world war, Minato would've been around twenty-four to twenty-five at his death, so if Minato is fourteen in the one shot manga flashback with Jirayah and that was the end of said war, the third war would've only been around almost a decade long? At the very most, the war would've lasted eight years and Minato would've been twenty-two when inaugurated as Hokage, so he'd have only been Hokage for two years, maybe three if you think he was twenty-five at his death but it still fits in the timeline, Madara's official death was in his early to mid seventies, Tobirama at maximum is six years younger, so he'd have to have been mid to late sixties at his death because he supposedly is minimum thirty years or so older than Hiruzen, Hiruzen was in his late sixties at his death, Minato would've been around thirty-seven to thirty-eight during part one of Naruto, making him about forty in part two if he were alive and it does seem to add up, but then it's kind of weird to think in a technical sense that Minato would be Tsunade's uncle if he's Tobirama's son, making Naruto her cousin..but this also would make sense why Nawaki and Naruto look so similar, since they'd be in the same generation of family in a technical sense and based on genetics, if they're the same amount of family members removed they're bound to look similar, also generally if you're older, your children will look more like you..which could possibly explain why Tobirama and Minato look alike enough to be considered related, with Minato most likely having a fake last name..another possibility for Minato's other parent is that maybe she just so happened not to be an Uzumaki, but a Sarutobi? Minato is one of the few characters who we know for a fact has over five different nature types, Sarutobi were known for their talented Shinobi just like the Uchiha and Senju, so it's possible Minato is a Senju and a Sarutobi, it's not unheard of and both Sarutobi and Senju clans have people with brown or blonde hair, so it could've been a trait from either the mother or grandparent of Minato from the Sarutobi side if not from Tobirama himself.
Minato has five actually, and those are Wind , Fire, Lightning, Yin, and Yang releases which Tobirama also just so happens to have those five, and things like that can be genetic.
Cool theory dude, if we assume peak sarutobi genetic potential is someone like Hiruzen and Peak Senju generic potential being someone like Hashirama, it’s plausible to have someone who scales just as high as those two. Pending how you rank your hokages 3/4 are interchangeably Hiruzen and Minato and the rest sort them selves out. With this theory it does make me wonder though how much stronger Minato would’ve become had he been able to reach 40’s/ 60’s with the assumption that he was someone with a similar skill set as Hiruzen in reference to this chakra nature styles and he was a genius you’d assume he would also become some sort of professor and know all the Konoha jutsu at some point in his life on top of flying raijin, he would’ve been a truly broken character 😭
Honestly, every single Hokage has been a top tier in the verse at some point, usually being the strongest or top five in their generation, Hashirama and Naruto especially..I wouldn't be surprised if Minato at 40-60 years old is anywhere near a prime Tobirama or getting near Hashirama's level, just based on the fact each of the Hokage at around those ages are generally stronger than their younger selves aside from Hiruzen and maybe Kakashi, Tsunade's possibly stronger than she was thirteen years before the start of Naruto.
@@shikaotsu7194that age range is the prime combination of youth AND experience
@@Ntimidation It's actually funny when you think about it, because Tobirama being a pure Senju makes it very plausible.
I always find it weird when characters in anime seemingly have no family, for no particular reason. You look at something like A Song of Ice and Fire, and everybody's got families; huge families, with long lineages, multiple siblings, and often several generations of concurrent, relevant members exist at any given time
Japanese handles surnames similarly to the west by the male primagenature, but when the child isn't claimed by the father they keep their mothers surname. This is why Naruto is a Uzumaki instead of Namikaze.
I have hypothesized that Minato's mother is a senju related to Hashi/Tobirama, but he could potentially be Tobirama's son but his mom was preggers with him when Tobirama died.
It was to protect Naruto from his father's enemies.
The Namikaze clan could have branched off from the Uzumaki clan or Senju clan,just like Mukai Kohinatas clan split from the Hyuga clan. I Believe they settled in "Land of Waves" since Namikaze means "Wave"
Wave and wind
Anyone else think it’s weird how Hash & Tobi Senju never passed down their unique kekkei genkai/skill set to their progeny. You’re telling me there wasn’t another Senju with wood release or proficient use of water jutsus? Every Uchiha has the ability to awaken the sharingan but none of the Senju descendants even came close to Hash & Toji?
oversight and bad writing
What he said, just bad writing.Kishimoto spent most of his time boosting the uchiha so he couldn’t focus on any other clan
The wood release was a unique and rare kekkei genkai within the Senju clan from what I understand.
doesn't moegi have wood release? so either she's a senju or wood release is just a genetic anomaly that can happen to anyone regardless of clan@@hannah60000
@@hannah60000 how does this answer the question in ANY means? you were just repeating what he wrote. its like asking "why is the sky blue" and your answer would be "as far as i can see the sky is blue"
3 things
1) The Senju were more than Hashirama and his siblings, we’ve seen that most clans have many members who are only distantly related to each other, he could be descended from a minor member.
2) Asuma and Kurenhai weren’t married, and were attempting to keep their romance a secret, so it’s entirely possible that Tobirama had a secret child, just like most of the world was kept ignorant as to Naruto’s relationship to Minato.
3) If the Senju in Minatos ancestors was a daughter, she could have simpler taken her husbands name, namikaze, and maybe even lived their life as a civilian. Minato could even be the great grandson of tobirama if he had a child early in life, and his daughter chose to not be a Shinobi once the village was established
An idea not explored enough with the "nameless" or "non-family" characters is; maybe they were conceived with people outside of the village, which could explain why unknown family names have high power AND why they lineage may actually be purposefully hidden . Tobirama especially would be against people having children with ninja from other nations. The 'kaze' in "Namikaze" always makes me think of some familial involvement with the sand village. Just a thought 🤔
"Nami" means wave(s) in Japanese, so his last name would be Wavewind if you directly translate, meaning there's a possible connection to some Water Country family
Namikaze is word which means "Harbor winds". So more probably someone from a port city.
That makes sense. It’s a damn shame though. Masashi could do so much with the naruto world if he started doing most of his work with prequels
Where did Madara get another rinnegan?
How was Madara able to transform his dead eye (The one he used izanagi with) into a rinnegan? Can the rinnegan just overwrite the cost for Izanagi because it's a 6 paths do-jutsu? And if that's true is that why we never see Pein use susanoo, because he never had two Mangekyō?
What do you mean by another rinnegan? As for the blinding, we've seen Sasuke's eye revert to a sharingan when he runs out of chakra for his rinnegan (at least I think I remember that happening). So maybe the eye Madara blinded only blinds the sharingan part? Like if he ran out of chakra for his rinnegan, his eyes would revert to one sharingan and one blind eye.
But shit though, you raise an interesting point about Nagato using a susanoo... those eyes WERE sharingan first, Madara DID have a susanoo, Kakashi had a susanoo when he had two borrowed sharingan, and Sasuke kept his susanoo even once one of his eyes became a rinnegan... so by all rights, yeah, Nagato should have had a susanoo.
Pein is my favorite Naruto character.
I can explain most of this.
1st yes rinnegan does cure izanagi. once the uchiha and senju blood combine into so6p chakra, it floods the eye transforming it into a rinnegan and healing the blindness.
2nd there’s a very specific reason nagato couldn’t use susanno, and it’s easy to miss. but it’s the same reason madara could use susanno after losing an eye. the same reason itachi could use it after being blind. the sharingan isn’t just the eye. tobirama explains that it’s actually the chakra inside the uchiha brain. when the uchiha feels pain and grief the chakra in their brain evolves and floods their eye, transforming it. this means that the double mangekyo isn’t necessarily the reason you can use susanno. it’s more like the sign you can. the reason nagato couldn’t use susanno is because he never had the chakra in his brain, just the eyes.
In this same way, kakashi didn’t get susanno from getting both eyes. he got both eyes and susanno because Obito gave him his uchiha chakra.
3rd and not the most important one, but Sasuke’s eye can’t revert back to sharingan. his left eye is permanently a rinnegan. the reason he can still use Amaterasu is because he has a 6 tomea rinnegan, which one of its abilities is to let you use your Sharingan abilities.
Anyway I hope this answers most of your questions, have a nice day.
I have two theories. The first one is that Madara had Hashirama cells which overwrote the cost for izanagi, because Hashirama cells are the solution to every problem. The second is that Madara just made a new eye for himself with izanagi, then replaced the blind eye with the eye he created. Although, that does open another plothole. Why did Madara not just create two Rinnegan right there?
Susanoo is a mangekyou ability and the eyes were stuck as rinnegan when he got the eyes,. so that's probably why he didn't have susanoo, also once ms is obtained the the abilities are unlocked they're stuck with you even after your eyes become useless, changed or plucked out, madara was using susanoo blind and don't know the answers about the others.
Appreciate the update. I've been watching this series for close to 17 years now and it just gets better and better. The lore and legends are solid.
I believe he could have Senjo blood. I mean the clan did breed out. Not really break up or disband, more Mary out of the clan. But I like this theory, keep making awesome videos
I like the idea that yes Ashura created the Rasengan the technique itself may have been lost for generations and Minato merely recreated it the same could be said about the thunder god technique the tobirama created it as far as we know and didn’t pass it down so either Minato created the technique from scratch or may have found some old work of Tobirama and decided to recreate this technique it would explain how he was then able to take it further perfecting the technique as Tobirama himself said that Minato was more capable with the technique than he was
Asura did not create the Rasengan. That was anime only BS.
Anime only
"he's a senju, shes a senju, I'M A SENJU! Are there any other senju's i should know about?"
Minato: *meow*
I completely forgot that Tsunade is an Uzumaki though Mito.
This could have been a great theory that could have made since if we knew about Tobirama’s love life
To be fair there was already a fan theory that namikaze was a distance branch of senju like how the sharingan is a distant cousin to the rinnegan at it can transition into one and both are clan specific kekeigenkai to each clan. Son basically this means they were on to something the entire time lol😅
“It’s about a 4 yr old with an apartment” that sounds FANTASTIC 🤣
I'd actually love it if Minato didn't have a great background. Makes his rise and incredible talent that much more impressive.
A very compelling argument for Minato being Senju and further being related to Tobirama, is the fact that Naruto is Asura's reincarnation... As far as I know, Asura reincarnates in the main line of the Senju and Indra in the main line of the Uchiha... with the "main" line Uchiha terminated with Madara, the closest relative to the main line would likely become the new main family leading to Itachi and Sasuke. At the same time, the "main" line of Senju "terminated" with Tsunade, with Tobirama's hypothetical line being the closest relation assuming no other descendants of Hashirama exists. Furthermore, while it could be argued that the "closest to main line" could have "propagated" through Mito to make Kushina the closest relation, we know(Not sure if it is canon) that Butsuma(Hashirama and Tobirama's father) must have had siblings due to Hashirama and Tobirama having a known cousin(again not sure if it's canon), which would likely have spread their bloodline into Konoha, making "close" Senju descendants exist. Therefore, unless the birth timing was way off(like the reason for why Itachi isn't Indra's reincarnation), it is highly unlikely that no Senju descendent existed with a relation closer to the main line Senju, than the Uzumaki progenitor(assuming it didn't "propagate" through Mito's side), which could support Minato being a Senju descendent, though not necessarily from Tobirama, as he could be one of said descendants of Hashirama's cousins which shed the Senju name, making Minato the person with the closest relation to the main line Senju, explaining why Naruto was the "chosen one", as well as his enormous chakra pool.
The Uzumakis are also from Ashura. There's no difference between Uzumaki and Senju other than the name.
If Minato was Tobirama's Grandson that would make Minato and Tsunade "Second Cousins" and Naruto and Tsunade "Second Cousins Once Removed"
helps to think of it as Siblings being what you would call Zeroth Cousins and their kids are First Cousins. So you track down the family line from a common ancestor via the shortest leg for the "Place" in front of the word cousin, then you count how many EXTRA steps it takes to get from the common ancestor to the other relative. Tsunade is the third generation down from Hashirama's Dad (Papa Senju), and if this was true Naruto would be the forth generation down from the same Papa Senju
"this isnt how it works.... you know"
IM DYING OF LAUGHTER
10:24 i might have actually died from laughter for alil after i saw your face lol "that's not how that works" lmao
I've always considered Minato as having a Senju parent. Reason being that Indra & Asura are the founders of the Uchiha & Senju clans respectively. As far as I can tell Indra & Asura only reincarnate inside their own clans. So Indra only reincarnates in the Uchiha clan & Asura only reincarnates in the Senju clan. My hypothesis for this is the fact that Indra only reincarnates from members of the Uchiha clan & the only other Asura reincarnation I know of besides Naruto is the First Hokage (& if Indra only reincarnates in the Uchiha clan then I'd expect the same for Asura).
I also like, but playing devils advocate, it may also just be that Indra only reincarnate in the Uchiha, because there was no branching out of the Uchiha option, unlike what is going on with the Senju/Uzumaki situation.
If the Uzumaki are a clan that came from the Senju, they are still related to Ashura, but the Uchiha don't have, as far as we know, this branching offshoot clan situation. ... So, basically, if all Uchiha had died, Indra would have had no back up reincarnation, but the Senju way of branching off more and more meant Ashura was garantued to be able to reincarnate. (which, in its own way is interesting to me. Because Indra, like the Uchiha stayed closed off, while Ashura, like the Senju opened himself to other, which reflect on their possibility to reincarnate itself)
@@orianefaton1885 Exactly correct, so we agree Ashura would still only appear in people with a direct lineage to the Senju clan. Just cause the last name changes doesn't mean they don't relate. 😁
I also found it interesting that he was able to use the flying ragin to teleport kurama and then use the Reaper death seal on top of everything else fighting obito transporting the kyuubi attack using summoning technique and never ran out of chakra
I used to have the perspective that anything that isn't stated in the manga isn't canon and that has changed. Now it is:
So at 20:54, unless Kishimoto has written/co-written a manga/novel adaptation about this, then Ashura did not create the Rasengan.
I mean if minato was a senju then it definitely makes the hokageship much more of a monarchy type situations seeing as then 5 of the 7 hokages were senju.
The idea that naruto has "less chakra than a full blooded uzumaki" never sat right with me. Naruto ALSO has a lot of chakra BECAUSE he is a reincarnation of Ashura. Sure the Senju and the Uzumaki are know for their chakra pools but that doesnt even begin to compare to the chakra inherited through Ashura. Hashirama, a full blooded Senju, was known as "God of Shinobi" clearly having way more chalra than any other full blooded Senju. It should be the same for Naruto. I dont believe that Naruto has less chakra than a full blooded Uzumaki. Not by a long shot.
Since flying raijin is basically summoning yourdelf to somewhere, did jiraya accidently flying raijined himself into mount myobuku when he tried to summon something without a contract when he was a genin? And if thats the case could it be that thats how tobirama thought about creating this jutsu? Like not when jirayay did it but when he himself or somebody close to him did it
Tobirama created flying raijin during the warring states period before Jiraya was born and konoha was created. And killed Madara’s brother with it.
@@chris4380 i know im not saying the events are related what i am saying is that maybe somebody else did the same thing as jiraya and thats what gave tobirama the idea
@@shml5093lol "someone gave Tobirama the idea"??🤣 dude was a scientist in all forms of shinobi arts and created most of modern ninjutsu. The idea of teleporting by using a reverse summoning jutsu doesn't seem that far from his knowledge. Also the flying rajin was originally created as a way for him to counter the Sharingans enhanced cognitive abilities.
When translating the name Namikaze from Japanese, it means wind and waves. What if this is what is meant by the two vortex ! Two clans are a branch of the Senju

**Guy hits both**
Sweet Home Alabama!

i always thought that the fact that Minato knew flying raijin was odd, like wasn’t it a forbidden jutsu??
Ninja could get special permission from the hokage to learn forbidden jutsu if they were jonin level and actually capable of handling the danger of the jutsu. I don't remember if the anime mentions this, but I believe the manga does early on.
Hopefully we get these answers in the near future with more Minato content from Kishimoto! It would be so cool to see the namikaze be expanded on
the one shot already came out. and it was a fun story! the new content unfortunately gives us no new answers regarding the namikaze :( it does however give us more lore on the uzumaki so not a total mystery in that regard
@@billlanagan2320 yeah I read it when it came out, I just mean I hope that he wants to put more content out after the one shot
The series does make a point to say that one way to increase your chakra pool is through physical training. It's possible that one reason Boruto has much less chakra is because he just didn't train as much or start as early as previous generations. He didn't have to because they were building an era of peace. Naruto himself at the start talks about how Boruto doesn't train like his generation used to at that age because his clothes always look clean and new.
Maybe he'll b a late bloomer
The term you’re looking for to describe their relationship is first cousin once removed. As in Minato’s Senju parent is Tsunade’s first cousin
Hi Nick
Thank you for work and effort :)
I have one question and I think it might lead to an interesting video: "what would you ask Kishimoto (naruto wise) if you had the chance to talk to him ?"
Personally, I like the theory, but I also like the theory that Minato embodies the original theme or Naruto of hard vs family born as well. Minato being a no name with a bunch of potential is always a fun concept. Or a lower level Senju/ other clan who didn’t carry on the nepotism of the first 2 Hokage.
Not to mention Minato isn't even the only one to have gained legendary status without any Kekkei Genkai and coming from a no name family. Jirayia and Orochimaru became legendary Sannin. Sakura became only the second confirmed user of the Byakugou Seal. And last, but no least, what Might Guy has achieved needs no more introduction.
The fact that you made a Tasmania joke and actually knew about what we mainland Australians stereotype them with had me rolling! 😂
Grandcousins are a thing, though we tend to call them "First cousins twice removed", aka the first cousin of a grandparent/your cousins grandchild.
i'd love to see Nick get a chance to ask kishimoto himself about things like this, the reincarnation factor is pretty compelling in particular. Also bonus video about Nick's ninja dogs when?
So I'm curious to know what would have happened if Sasuke was brought back. If the fight between naruto and Sasuke ended not with a gut punch but rather naruto grabbing sasukes arm and pulling him into a headbutt, knocking him out until Kakashi arrives. Sasuke is brought back to the village but would Sasuke stay
Probably everyone dies when pain attacks, Naruto would have been less motivated to get as strong as fast because his only goal would be be hokage not return a friend and fulfill a promise, so he and Saskue would be far weaker when Pain and Itachi showed up. Which would also change a lot like Saskue couldn’t be used to kill snake boy lol like so much would change but probably for the worse in the long term
Honestly, there would be a lot of moving parts. For better or worse, Sasuke is likely imprisoned or dead. If Sasuke is left alive, then Orochimaru will likely make plays to collect him. Sakura's motivation likely stalls.
What type of training Naruto gets is also unknown. Naruto might stay in the village or go on the training trip. Either way, he might get better training or worse.
Atkuski might get a more loyal Itachi. But I honestly doubt that.
It is honestly hard to say long term. We are talking about a minimum of 3 years of activity.
I have a big family so I gotchu on the cousin thing. If you share parents you’re siblings, if you share grandparents you’re cousins, great-grandparents 2nd cousins, etc. Removal refers to whether you share a generation, and it always travels downward. My 1st cousin’s kid is my 1st cousin once removed, his kid 1st cousin twice removed, etc.
In Sasuke's and Naruto's last battle, Sasuke used Indra's Arrow. Indra's Arrow was only seen in filler, but used by Sasuke in cannon.
Imagine if Tenten was a Senju.
he made a video on that 🤣you can check
So flying raijin skips a generation, and after the time skip, we're about to see Boruto and/or Himawari poppin' off with it?
Also, is it just me? Or does flying raijin with a byakugan sound pretty lethal??
NOPE. Flying Raijing is one of those special jutsus that could be mastered by literally anyone, but so hard that only 2 people mastered it. Minato's guards also learned it, but were only able to perform it together as a trio. You don't need a certain bloodline, you don't need magic eyes, it's just that only Tobirama and Minato were good enough to master it.
I think it makes more sense that Minato makes the first Rasengan cuz he made it based on a tailed beast bomb, hence it’s findementally different than a similar Jutsu made before the prevalence of tailed beasts
8:00 In this theory, Tsunade and Minato are 2nd cousins. In this theory, Tsunade would be Naruto’s 2nd cousin once-removed. With cousins, how far “removed” you are is equal to how many generations you cross, and being “removed” does not cause the degree of cousin to increase.
Hey Nick, is there any point where it's explained what makes Kuramas Chakra special? You often say that Narutos strenght comes from KCM and Kurama, but shouldn't he be able to access that even without Kurama, or anyone else for that matter? Or is tailed beast Chakra somehow "better" then regular Chakra?
Tailed Beasts, especially Kurama, have MASSIVE amounts of Chakra. They're extremely dense, incredibly rich sources of power. Naruto without Kurama was like 1% of his power WITH Kurama.
@@laynegrey2003 I get that they have a lot of it, but by that logic every person with comparable chakra reserves like Minato, Nagato, Hashirama or hell, even Naruto himself should be able to use something similar to KCM, right? At least if it's just about the amount of chakra.
@@konradkinne4089 I think you're seriously underestimating the amount of Chakra I'm talking about since the only one of those people who even have remotely similar chakra reserves is Hashirama, but it's also the specific makeup OF their Chakra. Like how Tailed Beasts are the only ones able to make Tailed Beast Bombs, it's not just the amount of Chakra it's also the makeup that allows it.
I have one dispute with this theory, and that's when Nick says only Tobirama and Minato know the flying raijin technique. Hiruzen also knows it, and uses it to get to the battlefield of the 4th great war. I'd say Hashirama knows it as well, but I'm sure he just ran there while they all teleported.
Hiruzen doesn't know it. In fact, it's stated that flying raijin is the only jutsu Hiruzen could never learn (aside from new jutsus like Chidori and Rasengan)
Also, they all ran (used body flicker) to get to the war, none of them teleported there
The only flaw in his logic is the flying rajin theory. Minato taught his hokage guard the technique. It's how Mei arrived to the fight with Madara
IVE HAD THIS AS A HEAD CANON FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!! I'm gonna try and explain my head Canon as detailed and precisely as possible. So first, I switched the importance of the clans. I made the Uzumaki what the Senju were and vica versa. The Uzumaki were still killed off, but they were the main lineage of Asura, and the Senju were split from them. I also added that the Indra-Asura genetic split wasn't "50/50". I saw it as like 40,10/40,10. Meaning Indra got mostly ocular prowess but some physical. Asura got mostly physical but some ocular (genetically speaking). So when the split happens again between the Uzumaki and the Senju. The Senju got genetic potential for ocular and physical jutsu, the Uzumaki got mainly physical. Now, when the Senju integrated in the village, their genetics bolstered other gene pools, allowing for people like Lee, Guy, and Chojis clan who have incredible physical prowess, but also the Hyuga clan with their ocular prowess (heres where it may get wonky because I dont know enough to know how the Hyuga got there. Since the Byakugan cam from Kaguya and Toneri went to the moon. So I assumed it was either Indra's or Asura's decendents that did it. And the Uchiha didnt intermingle with the village, thus Senju. If you know how it actually happened please let me know.). And that's how I made naruto special, him being the combination of an Uzumaki and a Senju. He was the first person born that had the combination of both. So I always pretended Minato had Senju blood and never realized.
Minato was around the age of 20 in the one shot.
As an Australian, I appreciate the jab at Tasmania coming out of left field.
Minato being tsunade and Jiraiya’s secret kid just blew my mind!
“You know😉You know😈This isn’t how it works.” Sent me😂😂😂
"gray hair man" !!!!!!!!! tobirama was slanging water 🐉 tequila at them baddys ❤😂
How is the marriage between Mito and Hashirama encouraging The Senju to reproduce outside the clan when they were part of the same clan to begin with (even if it was centuries in the past, and I realize that they needed to tie the uzumaki to the village somehow so the marriage does make sense just not for the reasons you pointed out), and another thing it would make more sense for Tobirama to marry an Uchiha since it would not only encourage marrying outside the clan (almost to the extreme since they once hated and killed each other) but also improve relations with the uchiha like Hashirama wanted.
Bro, it LITERALLY shows Minato battling his dad
Lol I like how he kinda glanced of Fast and Furious at the very beginning😂
It's actually awesome that you referenced Tasmania correctly :p
12:47 lmaoo Nick talkes about uchihas like they are wild dogs
Basically cousins are related on a generational hierarchy starting from the original siblings. The first layer are 1st cousins, the next layer down are 2nd cousins, then 3rd cousins, so forth and so on. However, if two cousins are not on the same generational layer that's when you start talking about removal. You start from the lowest number generation then count the number of generations down for your degree of removal.
For example: Tobirama's child would be 1st cousins once removed from Tsunade. If Minato were to be Tobirama's grandson then Tsunade would be 2nd cousin once removed from Naruto.
Outside of Minato and Tobirama, there are three others that can use the Flying Rajin technique. Raidō Namiashi, Genma Shiranui, and Iwashi Tatami. You can see them using this to teleport Tsunade. What's more is they acted as Minato's Body Guard when he was Hokage.
But they could only use the technique together. Minato and Tobirama were the only ones able to use it solo.
So for family trees etc, once removed etc covers talking about people of different generations, meanwhile second cousin etc covers how far out the relation is. Your second cousin would share great grandparents with you, but one of your grandparents is the sibling of one of their grandparents. Meanwhile your second cousin once removed would be the kid of said second cousin, so your great grandparents would be their great great grandparents. This can also cover things further up, like your first cousin twice removed would be one of the grandchilds of your great great grandparents.
you DO have terms like great grand uncle etc, which would be one of the kids of your great great grandparents. So yes *their* kid would be your first cousin twice removed as well.
Guy became the strongest non-SOSP character by a landslide (granted, for a short a time), and my guy is just Guy!
The idea of Tsunade having a child when she was that young, actually would explain why she gave him up.
She was unmarried, had sex young, got pregnant, was training for/in a war, her bloodline was one that was highly coveted so a child with her last name would be at risk. Etc.
I look at filler events this way, The fight between Ashura and Indra did happen in lore, but its depicted in a way so that the filler exands on whats currently going on in canon, this way the reincarnets seem more ailke than (in my opinion) they should. In filler Indras eyes are literal copies of Sasuke while in the manga we know for a fact that Indras eyes dont look like sasukes whatsoever. Kind of like how some people say that Achilles did exist but he died more human-like than whats depicted in the Homer stories and Homer-based stories.
I always figured he was Yamanaka orphan, his fighting style is a product of fuinjutsu.
Senju DNA is in every clan just represented under a different name. The main thing is regardless of genes used to make you. When you are being created the DNA chooses the best traits in the DNA it has that will be making you so that is why every era the shinobi get stronger typically unless you have prolonged peacetimes not having shinobi forged thru life&death battles surviving because of their adaptability, Creativity of jutsu use, or Analytical skills to find a counter or strategy that will defeat enemy
There lucky they don't have vaccines to mess up their dna in the narutoverse lol
My understanding of Tobirama is that he was committed to the growth of Konoha’s politics, education, military, and population. There hasn’t been a Hokage so committed to the population growth as Tobirama.
Hes a Senju, You're a Senju, I'M A SENJU!!!!
Are there anymore Senju's I should know about!?!?!
This is the kind of background info we need from more Minato books…….
There was that conversation between Tsunade and Jiraiya before he fought pain when they were reminiscing about how she raised the 4th Hokage. I only know it from the anime, and it is only brought up once
Nick, you've talked about your podcast every single video I've watched for some time now... I'm finally to the point where I'm going to check it out due to the sheer amount I've heard you mention it and I do enjoy listening to you talk about Manga and Anime...
Fun Fact. Son Goku from Dragon Ball started his series at the same age as Naruto at 12.
On the family topic from 8:00, it's second cousin. I know this because I have close relations to my second cousins since we all live in the same small town and went to school together. Now we go to different HS. A cousin twice removed is basically a third cousin. So the child of your second cousin would be your child's cousin twice removed.
How cousins work in 3 rules:
1. The relationship is reciprocal, i.e. if you are someone’s 2nd cousin once removed then they are your 2nd cousin once removed
2. The number indicates the number of generations from the common ancestor for the person who is most closely related. This number is the number of generations minus one. So if you share great grandparents, that is 3 generations back, therefore second cousins.
3. The removal indicates number of generations removed. So if you’re second cousin has a child they are your second cousin once removed. As they are one generation removed from you. Additional your parent’s second cousin will be your second cousin once removed as well, given rule one.
The trick is to take whoever is most closely related to the common ancestors as your starting point, you figure out the number of greats that ancestor has, and add one to that number. Finally, figure out how many generations removed the two people are, and that is the familial relationship.
6:40 Legit made the same theory weeks ago.
9:50 Still on the same path, I hope. The Namikaze clan having a similar name to the Uzumaki and Mito's saying that the clan had a great life force and whatever she said about winds made me theorize the Namikaze clan branched off from the Uzumaki, or were formed by the Senju and adopted the clan name "Namikaze" in relation to the Uzumaki clan, which is a progeny of Ashura. Thus, adopted the name to show the relation of the clans. This all happening due to breeding with the weaker clans to strengthen Konoha and formulating new clans in the process.
Finally, someone made a video about the theory I have been spouting on about for years! I've never seen anyone else with that theory but, everyone I have told it to has stated it makes more sense than the secret child theory. I have been putting it in your comments every so often 😂
I'd like to point out that not every powerful clan is directly blood related to Asura and Indra. So, there is not reason for Minato to have any relation to the Uzumaki. They wouldn't have too much issue with other nations if that were the case. The Sarutobi clan is a great example of one that exists within Konoha. Hiruzen being one of the most powerful Shinobi to have existed in Konoha. The same goes for Kakashi's father, the White Fang, being powerful and not having any known connection to the Senju. There are also clans that are not related to them that formed around (through incestuous means) certain Kekkei Genkai. It's safe to say that Minato doesn't have to have a genetic connection to the Uzumaki clan.
A few things you could have added: In the filler for Madara and Hashirama becoming friends, they gave Tobirama dirty blonde hair. He looks EXACTLY like Naruto but with Minato's hair and angry (😂 also like Bakugo from MHA) and I don't think that's a coincidence. Another thing is that I believe the Namikaze name can have another explanation. In Japan, they don't like to address taboo topics in anime but will add them in the background. Some of those are single mothers, divorce, and ,for this theory, having children out of wedlock. Who is to say that Tobirama wasn't spreading his seed around. If he had a child out of wedlock, they would keep the mother's last name. The same would go if he had married, had a son and that son had a child out of wedlock.
This part is canon at least in the anime but, Tobirama does not question why Minato and Naruto (who is using a forbidden jutsu) are exclusively using and perfected HIS techniques. In fact, he seems rather proud that are. Like, I know the pride could be in them perfecting the techniques but given the overall theme of the Naruto series as a whole, it makes sense that he is proud of his grandchildren.
There is so much to this theory and it honestly does make far more sense than any secret child theory.
