Background / History

Madara was born during the Warring States period, when the Uchiha and Senju clans were locked in relentless conflict. He lost five younger brothers to war; Hashirama Senju similarly lost siblings, allowing the two boys to bond over grief and their shared dream of ending the cycle of violence. 304

Madara and Hashirama eventually led their clans into an alliance and founded Konoha. Their partnership collapsed after the village’s creation: Madara wanted the Uchiha to leave Konoha, but no clan members followed him. He departed alone, later returned while controlling the Nine-Tails, and fought Hashirama at the Valley of the End. Though believed dead after his defeat, he escaped through Izanami. 304

After awakening the Rinnegan, Madara transplanted his original eyes into Nagato and survived in an underground refuge through the Gedo Statue’s life force. There he began preparing the Moon Eye Plan, using White Zetsu, Black Zetsu, and Tobi to locate successors and manipulate events across the shinobi world. 179 306

Appearance

Madara’s appearance changes drastically with his condition and revivals. His original underground body is elderly, white-haired, hunched, and dependent on the Gedo Statue; after restoration, he regains black hair, healthy skin, and a youthful voice. 179 246

• Wears red Warring States-era armor when appearing before the Five Kage. 457
• Possesses Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and later Rinnegan-based dōjutsu. 246 248
• Takes on a white, nine-tomoe-marked robe after completing his Six Paths transformation. 481
• Develops a horn and a Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan before casting Infinite Tsukuyomi. 486

Personality

Madara is deeply disillusioned with the shinobi world. He sees recurring wars as proof that Hashirama’s village-based peace failed, and believes only absolute power and control can permanently end conflict. 179 247 482

He is proud, confrontational, and intensely stubborn. Even after Yūske explains Black Zetsu’s likely manipulation, Madara refuses to abandon the Moon Eye Plan, arguing that peace cannot survive without overwhelming force. 467 482

Madara respects exceptional opponents, especially Hashirama and Yūske. He repeatedly attempts to recruit Yūske rather than immediately kill him, enjoys battling him as an equal, and acknowledges Yūske’s superiority after their Six Paths-level clash. 247 457 472 485

Story Role / Major Arcs

Moon Eye Plan Preparations

From his underground hideout, Madara monitors the Third Shinobi World War and concludes that the world has proven Hashirama’s ideals ineffective. He orders Tobi to approach Fugaku, manipulate Nagato, and ensure Nagato experiences sufficient despair to become useful to the plan. 179

He later attempts to manipulate Konoha by controlling the Nine-Tails and releasing it near the Uchiha compound, hoping to renew suspicion of the clan. The plan fails, and he shifts his attention to Obito. 306

Obito’s Rescue and First Battle with Yūske

Madara saves the severely injured Obito underground with the Gedo Statue, reveals himself as Obito’s ancestor, and plans to take Obito’s Sharingan for himself. 245 246

When Yūske locates the hideout, Madara restores his youth and right Sharingan. Their battle escalates from Fire Style and Susanoo to Complete Body Susanoo, Wood Style, Rinnegan techniques, and a final meteor attack. Madara’s body begins aging again after expending his remaining power. 246 247 251 252

Fourth Shinobi World War

Madara returns through Edo Tensei during the Allied Shinobi Forces’ conflict with Akatsuki. He interrupts the Five Kage meeting, defeats elite Special Jōnin, and again invites Yūske to join him. 457

He publicly explains the Moon Eye Plan, attacks the Alliance with meteors, and uses the war to advance the Ten-Tails’ completion. 458 468 473

Revival and Six Paths Transformation

Black Zetsu controls Obito to use Rinne Rebirth, restoring Madara’s physical body. Madara immediately kills Tobirama and absorbs the Ten-Tails, becoming a Six Paths-level jinchūriki. 477 478

After taking the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, Madara reaches his complete form. He battles Yūske and Hashirama with Truth-Seeking Orbs, Limbo shadows, the Six Paths Staff, and Storm Style Light Fang. 481 483 485

Infinite Tsukuyomi and Betrayal

Though badly wounded by Yūske, Madara opens his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan and successfully casts Infinite Tsukuyomi. 485 486

Black Zetsu then takes control of Madara’s body, heals him through the Divine Tree, and uses him as the vessel for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s reincarnation. 486

Battle Against Kaguya

Yugito later reanimates Madara through Edo Tensei and brings him into Kaguya’s gravity dimension. Initially unwilling, Madara agrees to work alongside Yugito and Hashirama against Kaguya. 491
