Background
Madara is Uchiha Tajima's eldest son and the older brother of Izuna and Mina. As a child, he keeps a Chakra Refinement Scroll on hand and demonstrates the Earth Clone Technique, creating a clone identical to himself. He is also among the small circle entrusted with Kosuke's chakra-circulation research. 7 8
At age eight, Madara is conscripted into the Uchiha-Senju war alongside Izuna and Mina. Wearing vermilion armor, he eagerly embraces the battlefield and becomes amused by Kosuke's description of his habitual “posturing.” 12
After two years of war, Madara and Kosuke gain notoriety as the “Black and Red Twin Evils.” Despite his growing battlefield reputation, Madara's connection to Hashirama becomes a source of strain within the Uchiha: Tajima assigns Kosuke to watch him during their joint reconnaissance mission because of elder concerns over Madara's relationship with the Senju. 22 23
Madara is severely injured when he and Kosuke use a forbidden Lightning Release technique against Hashirama. While recovering, he agrees to undergo a genjutsu intended to provoke his Sharingan's evolution. The illusion convinces him that Mito has killed Izuna and Mina, driving him to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan; after two days, he breaks free of the deception and learns that Izuna and Mina were alive. 33 36 37
Following Tajima's incapacitation, Madara succeeds him as Uchiha Clan Head. He later dismisses disruptive elders, redistributes clan responsibilities, puts the clan on war footing, and works with Kosuke on military and commercial policy. 56 59 60 62 77
Madara repeatedly opposes Hashirama's attempts to end the Uchiha-Senju feud through peace, arguing that the Uchiha cannot disregard generations of blood debt. Their final battle devastates the canyon and leaves both leaders severely wounded; Madara ultimately allows Kosuke to handle the terms ending the conflict. 68 98 99 101 102
After the formation of U Country and Konoha, Madara serves as U Country's Country Lord. He later accepts Kosuke's Natural Energy cultivation method, refines Sage Chakra through force of will, and modifies the method enough to complete a Greater Heavenly Circulation. 120 121 122 123 130
Appearance
Madara is most often seen in vermilion or scarlet plate armor, an image closely associated with his role as an Uchiha battlefield commander. During the final battle against Hashirama, his armor is shattered, revealing a lean, muscular body covered in injuries. 12 101
- Scarlet Sharingan and later Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. 37 97
- Vermilion wooden plate armor in his early wartime service. 12
- Crimson battle armor and a massive Flame War Fan in the final war. 101
- Carries a chained sickle alongside the war fan. 101
Personality
Madara is proud, confrontational, and intensely conscious of Uchiha prestige. His desire to make the Uchiha name “illuminate every corner of the Ninja World” shapes both his wartime leadership and his refusal to accept a peace built on what he sees as Uchiha concessions. 62 68
He is cold and impatient in public, particularly toward indecision, ineffective elders, and Hashirama's idealism. As Clan Head, he makes abrupt personnel changes and expects subordinates to act decisively. 59 60 68
Beneath this severity, Madara is deeply attached to his family. His grief over Izuna and Mina's apparent deaths is sufficient to trigger his Mangekyo Sharingan, and he remains concerned for Tajima after his father's injuries. 37 55
Madara's pursuit of power is tied to an extreme belief in human will. He rejects conventional Senjutsu as submission to beastly power and embraces a method that treats Natural Energy as a weapon to be mastered. 121 123
