Background / History
Warring States Period
Madara led the Uchiha during the clan wars against the Senju. His authority was absolute: Uchiha shinobi feared even approaching him without permission, and a single order was enough to make them retreat. 207
After Izuna's death, Madara received his brother's eyes and awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Though outwardly composed, he was driven by grief and revenge against Tobirama, whom he held responsible for Izuna's death. 207 210
Madara encountered the displaced Kagami and recognized him as an anomaly because he possessed an Eternal Mangekyō unknown to the era. Believing the Dragon Vein may have sent Kagami from the future, Madara sheltered and treated him, then asked him to protect the Uchiha rear during the coming battle. 207 209
Hashirama sent Madara a truce proposal, but Madara refused to answer. He led the Uchiha into a decisive battle against the Senju, manifesting a Perfect Susanoo over one hundred meters tall to confront Hashirama's Wood Golem. 209 210
Founding of Konoha
Following the war, Madara accepted peace with Hashirama, and the Uchiha and Senju moved into the newly founded Konoha. 218
Madara hoped to become First Hokage so that the Uchiha would remain central to Konoha's future. Hashirama instead won the Hokage election overwhelmingly, leaving Madara increasingly isolated within the village. 219 221
After ten months of peace, Madara concluded that the Uchiha had become unwilling to fight or leave Konoha with him. Fearing that Tobirama would eventually suppress the clan, he resigned as Uchiha Clan Head and chose another path to secure the Uchiha's future. 227
Before departing, Madara interpreted the Uchiha stone tablet as referring to the combined powers of himself and Hashirama. He intended to obtain Hashirama's cells, believing their union could create everything. 228
Fourth Great Ninja War
Kabuto deployed Madara as an Impure World Reincarnation trump card during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Madara initially fought under Kabuto's control, awakened the Rinnegan, and overwhelmed the Allied Shinobi Forces with techniques including Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence. 283 288 289
Madara clashed repeatedly with Kagami, treating him as a rare worthy opponent. Their Perfect Susanoo battle was interrupted by Hashirama's resurrection and the Ten-Tails' rampage. 300 301
After Hashirama was incapacitated, Madara defeated the Allied Shinobi Forces, captured Itachi, and used Rinne Rebirth to restore himself to life. He then became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 314 315 316
Madara temporarily allied with Kagami to prevent Black Zetsu from reviving Kaguya. Despite their cooperation, Kaguya ultimately emerged through Madara's body, leaving him depleted and near death. 317 321 323
Appearance
Madara is described as a tall man with a powerful aura. During the Warring States battle, he wears red armor and manifests a towering blue Perfect Susanoo clad in armor, winged, and armed with a sword. 178 210
- Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with a Straight Tomoe pattern. 215
- Later awakens the purple Rinnegan. 288
- Possesses Hashirama-derived power, including Wood Release and a face on his chest. 289
- Becomes pale and surrounded by Truth-Seeking Orbs as the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. 315
Personality
Madara is fiercely proud, direct, and defined by his identity as an Uchiha. He considers surrender after Izuna's death incompatible with both himself and his clan, and he pursues battles against Hashirama without fear even when victory is uncertain. 210 301
His decisions are rooted in protecting the Uchiha, though his methods are ruthless. He accepts peace when it appears to spare his clan, but later abandons Konoha after concluding that peace has weakened the Uchiha and left them vulnerable to Tobirama's future rule. 218 227
Despite his arrogance, Madara can show trust and care toward those he recognizes as exceptional. He personally carries the injured Kagami, seeks Kagami's counsel on Hashirama's truce, and praises Kagami when he proves capable of standing beside Hashirama and Madara. 207 209 217

Rinnegan
Madara awakens the Rinnegan during the Fourth Great Ninja War. 288
- Absorption Seal — absorbs incoming ninjutsu, including Naruto's Rasenshuriken. 288
- Limbo: Border Jail — summons invisible combat clones that cannot be sensed by opponents below Six Paths level. Madara cannot use this ability while under Impure World Reincarnation because his Edo Tensei Rinnegan are false eyes. 307

Wood Release and Sage Chakra
Madara possesses Hashirama-derived power, allowing him to use Wood Release. 289

- Survives Kagami's Annihilation attack and Might Guy's Death Gate assault long enough to complete his plan. 315 316
- Is considered the strongest individual combatant below Kaguya. 315 321
Relationships
- Izuna Uchiha — Younger brother. Izuna's death and donated eyes give Madara the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan; Madara's grief and desire for revenge shape his war against the Senju. 207 210
- Hashirama Senju — Lifelong rival and the only opponent Madara considers his equal. They establish peace and Konoha together, but later become enemies again over their conflicting visions for the Uchiha. 206 218 227
- Uchiha Kagami — A future Uchiha whom Madara shelters, entrusts with the clan's rear, and regards as an extraordinary successor. They later clash repeatedly during the Fourth Great Ninja War before forming a temporary alliance against Black Zetsu. 207 209 217 317
- Tobirama Senju — Enemy and Izuna's killer. Madara believes Tobirama will eventually suppress the Uchiha if he succeeds Hashirama as Hokage. 210 227
- Obito Uchiha — A necessary but distrusted collaborator. Madara does not consider Obito a comrade, but tolerates him because his revival depends on Obito's actions. 298
- Black Zetsu — An ally of convenience in Madara's revival plan. Madara later intends to eliminate him after activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi to prevent Kaguya's return. 314 317
