Is Naruto actually a Senju?
My answer is he is not a Senju at all, he's not even related. Hashirama senju (1st hokage) married Mito Uzumaki. Next as Mito Uzumaki is on her death bed she appoints Kushina Uzumaki who is a clansmen of Mito (Naruto's mom) as the next jinchuuriki of the 9-tails, than she meets Minato(4th hokage and Naruto's dad) and births Naruto. Uzumaki clan and the senju clan were extremely close but no blood is shared among them.

The Uzumaki come from Senju. They are related but he's not a pure blood Senju, so to speak.
His grandfather was Hashirama Senju
You are actually right...it is safe to say that Naruto is from the Uzumaki Clan as we still do not know what clan did Minato come from. Uzumaki and the Senju clan had a pact of truce which made them almost brotherly to each other but Senju and Uzumaki are related at all.
So overall you are right!
Well Naruto is somewhat related to the Senju due to one of his clan-mate married Hashirama but not blood related. The only person i know who is living and have the Senju and Uzumaki blood is Tsunade because she is the granddaughter of Hashirama and Mito? But out of everyone in his villages Naruto has the first Will of Fire the most?
Hey just read this :
The Senju and Uzumaki clans are distant blood relatives whom they retained strong connections with.For this reason Konoha-nin uniforms have the symbol of Uzushiogakure emblazoned on its shoulders. Hashirama's wife would also come from this clan, further strengthening their ties.
