Background / History
Madara Uchiha is one of the legendary co-founders of Konoha alongside Hashirama Senju and a former leader of the Uchiha Clan 12 263. Born during the Warring States period, he possessed immense battle prowess that earned him the title "Shura of the Ninja World" 6 260. Over time, his ideals diverged from Hashirama's, leading to a falling out where he ultimately left the village and later returned to attack it with the Nine-Tails 703 1621. Faking his death, he spent his later years in a dim cavern supported by life-extending tubes and Hashirama's cells, grooming pawns like Obito Uchiha and Nagato to advance his Moon Eye Plan for global peace 260.
After being reanimated during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara regained his youthful vigor through secret techniques and later unlocked the Rinnegan, eventually absorbing the Ten-Tails to become Six Paths Madara 272 1634 1677. His grand scheme for the Infinite Tsukuyomi was ultimately derailed when he was betrayed and consumed by Kaguya Otsutsuki 1714. Following the end of the crisis, his soul lingered in the passage between the living world and the Netherworld, where he persistently argued and bickered with Hashirama Senju 1746.
Appearance
Madara is an imposing figure with spiky hair and a commanding aura 260.
- Possesses sharp, severe facial features and an aged or youthful appearance depending on his state of resurrection.
- Wears traditional Uchiha battle garments, occasionally bearing the Uchiha Flame Fan on his back 288 570.

Personality
Madara is defined by immense pride, unyielding confidence, and an unquenchable thirst for combat as a self-proclaimed battle maniac 272 1625. He views himself on a tier above almost all living ninja, respecting only Hashirama Senju as an equal and later acknowledging powerful opponents like Mizuki Ember (Soji) 272 1625. Despite his ruthless pragmatism in manipulating pawns like Obito and Nagato to achieve his ideal of peace, he possesses a surprisingly simple and single-minded dedication to his ultimate goals, making him susceptible to manipulation by Black Zetsu 260 1670 1714.
