Chapter 665: Uchiha Gaiden: Rivals
The clash between the two clans lasted for decades, with neither backing down. Both sides were evenly matched and had their moments of victory and defeat.
However, the scales of victory gradually tilted in the Senju clan's favor when they found an unexpected ally- the Uzumaki clan.
A prodigy of the Senju clan left the clan premises to discover his talents since he didn't fit well with the Senju clan's practices. The prodigy rediscovered the lost art of Sealing and made a name for himself.
After several years, he returned to the Senju clan with his family and started a branch family with a focus on the Fuinjutsu techniques. Eventually, this branch family developed into a clan and separated itself from the main family.
The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan remained sworn allies since the founder of the Uzumaki clan was the blood brother of the then Senju clan.
With their common ancestry, the Uzumaki clan also rose to prominence thanks to the continuous support of the Senju clan.
With the combined power of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, the two clans easily suppressed their enemies, including the Uchiha clan.
After several years of continuous defeat, the Uchiha clan was pushed into a corner and their numbers dwindled.
