Background / History

Madara's defining historical relationship is his rivalry with Hashirama Senju. He acquired Hashirama's power after their battle, later awakening the Rinnegan and laying the groundwork for the Moon Eye Plan. He considers himself the only person capable of executing that plan and calls himself the world's savior. 312

During the war, Orochimaru summons Madara through Impure World Reincarnation. Modified by Mu, Madara enters the battlefield with power stated to be at or beyond his former peak, dismissing the gathered shinobi as beneath him. 290

Madara initially dominates Akatsuki members, village elites, and the Kage. He treats the confrontation as entertainment, destroys multiple opponents with minimal effort, and eventually reveals a Perfect Susanoo when Kazuki's clones prove unexpectedly capable. 291 294

His battle with Uchiha Yishū/Kazuki becomes the central obstacle to his plan. Madara repeatedly invites Yishū to join him, regarding him as the only Uchiha besides Hashirama worthy of standing at his side; Yishū repeatedly refuses. 303 312 325

After reviving and restoring both Rinnegan, Madara summons eight Tailed Beasts, transforms their chakra into a giant tree, and ultimately becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. Despite his Six Paths power, the combined pressure of Kazuki, Hashirama, Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, and Tobirama leaves him increasingly desperate to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 324 325 328

Madara finally casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi while aided by Ōtsutsuki Hamura's intervention. Immediately afterward, Black Zetsu questions Madara's role and turns against him. 329 330

Appearance

Madara's appearance varies by incarnation and transformation. Kazuki's earlier imitation of his armor should not be confused with Madara himself. 130

  • Wields the Uchiha Flame Fan, recovered from Obito during the war. 301
  • His restored state possesses dual Rinnegan and Wood Release. 323
  • As the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, he has white hair, a white robe with black trousers and boots, six dark-red magatama at the collar, nine Truth-Seeking Balls, and a Six Paths Staff. 325
  • A distinctive Rinnegan manifests on his forehead when he prepares to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 327

Personality

Madara is intensely arrogant and measures others against his own strength. He dismisses elite shinobi as insignificant, calls battles against them “playing,” and believes only Hashirama—or later Yishū—can truly interest him. 291 303

His confidence is matched by a fixation on control. He rejects Obito as the Moon Eye Plan's rightful executor, insists that his own death is temporary, and pursues resurrection whenever his Impure World Reincarnation limitations prevent him from overpowering Yishū. 301 312 319

Despite his hostility toward Hashirama, Madara retains a personal attachment to their past. He is reluctant to fight Hashirama under Orochimaru's control and later seeks a one-on-one battle to revisit their younger days. 306 324

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Susanoo

Madara's ocular prowess gives him exceptional perception and battlefield control. He uses Susanoo at multiple scales, culminating in a Perfect Susanoo against Kazuki's clones.

  • Reads and evades attacks with Sharingan perception while counterattacking efficiently. 290
  • Uses a massive Susanoo to overwhelm elite shinobi and destroy Kakuzu's hearts. 291
  • Summons a Perfect Susanoo after being pushed by Kazuki's clone. 294
  • Combines Susanoo weaponry with his own physical and Wood Release attacks. 316

Fire Release

Madara employs overwhelming Fire Release against large groups.

  • Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation clashes with the combined Water and Earth Release of over a hundred elite ninja. 290
  • Uses Fire Release as part of his large-scale battlefield suppression. 290

Wood Release

By possessing Hashirama's power, Madara can use Wood Release alongside his Uchiha abilities.

  • Creates massive trees capable of restraining Susanoo. 316
  • Uses Wood Release: Forest Creation to block Hashirama's Wood Golem. 326
  • Regenerates damage rapidly through Hashirama's power. 326

Rinnegan

Madara's Rinnegan grants him techniques beyond his original ocular powers.

  • Absorbs ninjutsu, including Naruto's chakra shuriken. 314
  • Uses black rods to immobilize Hashirama and attack Sasuke. 311 326
  • Employs Almighty Push and Banshō Ten'in in battle against Yishū. 318 327
  • Uses Limbo: Border Jail; its hidden clones are ineffective against Yishū, who can perceive them with his own Rinnegan. 320
  • His Rinnegan also enables the restoration and execution of his long-prepared plan. 323

Sage Mode

Madara obtains Sage Mode by absorbing Hashirama's Sage power.

  • Enhances his physical power enough to block Yishū's charged attack. 312
  • Raises him to the point that Yishū and Hashirama must cooperate against him. 312
  • Is still constrained by the limitations of his Impure World Reincarnation body before resurrection. 319

Six Paths Power

As the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, Madara becomes a Six Paths-level combatant.

  • Wields nine Truth-Seeking Balls, which can become shields, blades, and spears. 325 327
  • Uses a Six Paths Staff and can fly. 325 327
  • Negates or withstands most ordinary attacks; Sage power remains a meaningful threat. 325
  • The Petrifying Eye can briefly stiffen him, but cannot fully affect him while he is saturated with Six Paths power. 325 326

Infinite Tsukuyomi

Madara's ultimate objective is to impose the Moon Eye Plan upon the world.

  • Requires his Ten-Tails Jinchūriki state and forehead Rinnegan. 325 327
  • Successfully envelops the world in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 329

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Uchiha Flame Fan — Returned to Madara by Obito; used in close combat against Kazuki. 301 326
  • Greatsword — Used with Susanoo to cut through Hashirama's defenses. 310
  • Six Paths Staff — Carried in his Ten-Tails Jinchūriki form. 325
  • Truth-Seeking Balls — Nine floating orbs that can transform into defensive and offensive weapons. 325 327

Relationships

  • Hashirama Senju — Lifelong rival and personal obsession; Madara retains affection for his former friend but remains committed to defeating him and reshaping the world. 306 324 325
  • Uchiha Yishū / Kazuki — Principal wartime rival; Madara repeatedly invites him to join the Moon Eye Plan and recognizes him as an Uchiha strong enough to stand beside him. 303 312 325
  • Uchiha Obito — Temporary partner and designated instrument for Madara's resurrection; neither truly trusts the other, and Madara insists that Obito cannot execute the Moon Eye Plan in his place. 301 314 315
  • Black Zetsu — Supports Madara's resurrection and urges him to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but ultimately reveals hostile intentions. 329 330
  • Tobirama Senju — Madara reacts with particular hostility to Orochimaru's connection to Tobirama and later clashes with Tobirama as part of the allied assault. 290 325
  • Uchiha Itachi — Madara recognizes Itachi's ability and offers him a place at his side; Itachi refuses. 291

Story Role / Major Arcs

Impure World Reincarnation War

Madara is summoned by Orochimaru and immediately establishes himself as a catastrophic threat, defeating elite forces and challenging the Kage. His modified reincarnated body gives him immense power, but its limitations become apparent against Yishū. 290 291 319

Rivalry with Yishū

Madara battles Yishū's clones before confronting Yishū's main body. Their conflict escalates from Susanoo combat to a Rinnegan confrontation, with Madara developing urgency to revive after failing to decisively defeat Yishū. 294 303 312 313

Resurrection and Recovery

Black Zetsu's ritual restores Madara to life, though he awakens blind and initially has only one recovered Rinnegan. Pursued by Kazuki, he escapes, later regains both eyes, and returns at peak strength. 321 322 323

Six Paths Madara and the Moon Eye Plan

Madara summons the Tailed Beasts, becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, and faces the combined forces of Kazuki, Hashirama, Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, and Tobirama. Unable to decisively defeat them, he accelerates his plan and successfully activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 324 325 327 329

Notable Quotes

“Only I can execute the Moon Eye Plan.” 312

“I am the one and only savior!” 312

Trivia

  • Obito introduces himself as “Uchiha Madara” before the real Madara appears in the war. 119
  • Kazuki also uses Madara's armor and Flame Fan as a deliberate morale weapon for the Uchiha and an intimidation tactic against Konoha. 130
  • Madara is surprised by the evolution of puppet techniques during his absence, particularly the number and quality of puppets deployed against him. 290
  • His confidence steadily erodes because Yishū repeatedly becomes stronger whenever Madara gains a new power-up. 328
