Madara

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Madara and Hashirama Senju founded Konohagakure after a destructive war between their clans. The original Izuna was mortally wounded by Tobirama Senju, and Madara challenged Hashirama after his brother’s death. The Uchiha ultimately allied with the Senju as the defeated side 1 197 355.

Konoha’s early unity was fragile. Madara’s strength and temper intimidated other clans into silence rather than cooperation, leaving much of the village’s work to the Uchiha and Senju. Grieving Izuna and fearing the Uchiha would be marginalized, Madara considered leaving and pursuing the Infinite Tsukuyomi as an alternative path to peace 10 140.

Appearance

Madara has black eyes and a strikingly handsome face, often partly concealed by his thick hair. When he wears his hair tied back, villagers are surprised by his appearance and by how at ease he looks beside Izuna 107 124.

• Formal attire: A haori bearing the Uchiha crest, red-and-gold sleeve stripes, and black hakama trousers 180.
• Post-battle appearance: After fighting Isshiki, he wears a chest bandage and a dust- and blood-stained formal robe, with his hair loose around his shoulders 219.

Personality

Madara is blunt, proud, and intimidating, but gentle and affectionate toward those closest to him. His grief over the original Izuna leaves him deeply afraid of losing the returned Izuna, whom he watches closely and repeatedly protects. Although troubled by Izuna’s secrets, he sometimes avoids pressing for answers because he fears damaging their hard-won peace 23 121 130.

He is a practical leader who questions whether peace can survive on the founders’ strength alone. Izuna’s governance proposals impress him because they offer concrete ways to balance interests and sustain cooperation. Madara nevertheless remains willing to consider force against threats, even when Hashirama favors a more peaceful approach 19 20 307.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and uses his ocular abilities for perception and Genjutsu 197 231.

• He uses Genjutsu against Izuna when he suspects someone has taken over his brother’s body, though Izuna’s Sharingan blocks it 231.
• He locates Five Senses Labyrinth: Mirage, a large-scale Uchiha illusion requiring five users, for Izuna’s stage production 42.

Susanoo

Madara manifests a blue Chakra construct that can develop from a skeleton into an armored giant 208 306.

• Its skeletal arms and blades provide offense and defense; he also uses blue-flame tomoe as a celebratory display at the amusement park 180 208.
• Isshiki’s attacks break through Susanoo, and the sustained battle drains Madara’s Chakra 208 211.

Combat and Ninjutsu

Madara is a formidable close-range fighter whose swordsmanship emphasizes broad, powerful movements 8 279.

• He uses Shadow Clones to handle matters remotely, including a late-night meeting at the Hokage Building 38.
• He uses the Body Flicker Technique to leave the Third Elder’s residence rapidly 34.

Natural Energy Perception

With Mokushō’s encouragement, Madara learns to sense Natural Energy and see Light Veins. He notices a red glow around Izuna’s crow netsuke, leading to the discovery of a dormant Shikigami inside it 320.

Story Role

Izuna’s Return

Madara initially investigates the returned Izuna, knowing that his own brother is buried. He concludes that the newcomer is an Izuna from another world, although he remains aware of inconsistencies in his story 2 239.

Madara plans to kill him during a walk by the Naka River, but abandons the idea after Izuna instinctively strikes him with Monster Strength and then rushes to help. While recovering, Madara watches Izuna care for him and decides to protect him. He instructs the Uchiha to treat Izuna naturally as their second-in-command 5 239.

When Izuna later freezes before Konoha’s shinobi, Madara brings him home, embraces him, and promises to protect him. He chooses not to hear a confession he fears could mean losing Izuna again 23.

Rebuilding Konoha

Madara studies Izuna’s Uchiha governance draft and discusses its implications for the whole village with Hashirama. He also supports Izuna’s plan to face opponents at the Capital’s Spring Banquet 19 20 38.

As Izuna’s friendliness improves the Uchiha’s public image, villagers begin to see Madara more warmly. Madara takes charge of approving S-rank missions and becomes a candidate for the next Hokage position 107 238.

Battle with Isshiki

Madara fights Isshiki alongside Izuna, Hashirama, and Tobirama. Isshiki breaks through Susanoo and pins Madara with Chakra-disrupting black rods; Izuna carries him out of danger. Later, Madara shields the unconscious Izuna with his own body, taking an attack meant for him 208 212.

Land of Whirlpools Journey

Madara travels with Hashirama, Tobirama, and Izuna on a diplomatic journey toward the Land of Whirlpools 264. In the Land of Hot Water, he agrees to help organize rebuilding after the Evil God’s threat and keeps watch while Izuna rests 346.

Relationships

• Original Uchiha Izuna — Madara’s deceased younger brother. His death and sacrifice shaped Madara’s grief, his hostility toward Tobirama, and his doubts about Konoha’s path 197 307.
• Returned Izuna — A newcomer whom Madara accepts and protects as his younger brother, despite persistent doubts about his identity and past 23 239.
• Hashirama Senju — Madara’s closest friend and Konoha’s co-founder. They share the goal of peace but disagree over how to achieve it 20 307.
• Tobirama Senju — Hashirama’s brother, whom Madara resents for killing the original Izuna. Despite that hostility, Madara nominates him to lead Konoha’s rotating defense force 162.

• Ōnoki — Madara’s disciple, who returns to the Land of Earth with a sword from him 263.

• Tsukimiyo — A Shikigami who claims to be Madara and Izuna’s older brother. Madara recognizes his devotion to Izuna but remains uncertain about the claim 322.
