Background / History
At his peak, Madara fought Senju Hashirama with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and a Susanoo armored by the Nine-Tails, yet was defeated by Hashirama’s Wood Golem. In old age, he remained obsessed with regaining the Rinnegan and confronting a worthy opponent. 80
While operating from concealment, Madara controlled the Mizukage and used Black and White Zetsu to gather intelligence. He rescued the injured Obito Uchiha, kept him isolated in an underground cavern, trained him in techniques including Izanagi and Yin-Yang Release, and indoctrinated him with the Infinite Tsukuyomi as the path to peace. 80 98
Madara’s attempt to use Obito as his successor failed when Obito ambushed him. Madara survived the attack, took Obito’s Kamui Sharingan, and redirected his plans toward Yahiko and Nagato’s remaining Rinnegan. 108
Appearance
Madara’s appearance changed radically with his condition and resurrection. In his first documented state, he was an elderly, weakened man connected to tubes in an underground cavern; after returning to battle, he possessed a restored body marked by Sage power. 80 98 129
- Elderly Madara had a frail body, trembling hands, and a visible Three-Tomoe Sharingan. 80
- While sustaining Obito, he appeared weak and had tubes connected behind him. 98
- During his assault on Konoha, he wore a white robe and bore black Sage markings across his body and face. 129
- His later Six Paths form wielded solidified Susanoo armor, black Wood Release armor, and a Sun Moon Scepter. 130 135
Personality
Madara is driven by both an idealized vision of peace and an insatiable desire to battle powerful opponents. He presents the Infinite Tsukuyomi as the only means to end war, yet repeatedly pursues conflict to prove himself against Hashirama, Senju Gō, and other Six Paths-level fighters. 98 119 130
He is calculating and willing to manipulate allies, enemies, and protégés alike. He isolated Obito, exploited Yahiko to draw out Nagato, and relied on concealed techniques such as Izanagi to reverse lethal situations. 98 110 112 113
His confidence frequently becomes arrogance. Madara initially dismissed Konoha’s strongest shinobi as incapable of challenging him, only to be pressured by their coordination, advanced physiques, and repeated tactical counters. 130 135 136
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Rinnegan
Madara possesses exceptional ocular abilities, progressing from the Sharingan to the Rinnegan and using multiple dōjutsu in tandem.
