Background / History

Madara is an Uchiha who regards himself as the strongest being on earth and measures nearly every opponent against his own standard. He carries lasting hostility toward Tobirama, whom he names as the person he hated most in life, while Hashirama remains his desired rival and the opponent he most wants to face directly. 151 187

He believes the Uchiha stone tablet presents the only path to peace and pursues that peace through absolute control rather than trust in human will. This conviction leads him to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which he activates after becoming the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki. 191 202

Madara’s certainty collapses when Black Zetsu reveals that it is not Madara’s consciousness, but an Ōtsutsuki being acting for Kaguya. Black Zetsu takes over Madara’s body, using him as the vessel for Kaguya’s revival. 202 203

Personality

Madara is supremely confident, confrontational, and contemptuous of weakness. He taunts opponents, dismisses cooperation from others, and insists that his own rules are absolute. 149 150 168

He particularly despises sneak attacks, associating them with his resentment toward Hashirama. Yet he is capable of recognizing power: he acknowledges Josuke’s strategy, Shisui’s growth, and the combined threat posed by Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi. 151 167 194

Despite his cruelty, Madara frames his actions as sacrifices made for a greater and permanent peace. He rejects Itachi’s defense of the Uchiha massacre, arguing that true sacrifice requires giving up everything for a larger goal. 192

Abilities & Skills

• Deflects Naruto’s Tailed Beast Ball with his sword. 163
• Fights with a style centered on killing efficiency rather than formal restrictions. 150

• Tobirama Senju — Madara’s most hated adversary; he takes satisfaction in defeating him after recovering his Rinnegan. 151 195
• Obito Uchiha — Wartime ally and subordinate in the Ten-Tails operation; Madara insults him as weak, saves him from death when useful, and later manipulates his reanimation attempt. 163 167 194
• Josuke Uchiha — A powerful Uchiha opponent Madara considers cunning and unusually strong, though inexperienced compared with him. 149 167 168
• Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha — Three reanimated Uchiha who jointly challenge Madara with Perfect Susanoo; Madara acknowledges their strength but defeats or outmaneuvers them. 187 191 194

Story Role / Major Arcs

Reanimated Arrival

Madara appears on the battlefield in a reanimated body and dismisses the Shinobi Alliance’s numerical advantage. He overwhelms its forces, summons meteors, and treats the battle as an opportunity to display his superiority. 149 150

Battle Against the Allied Shinobi Forces

Madara fights Josuke, Gaara, Ōnoki, Naruto, the Five Kage, and Prisoner Great. Though temporarily damaged, sealed, or interrupted, he repeatedly recovers and escalates the conflict with Rinnegan, Perfect Susanoo, and Wood Release. 151 152

Ten-Tails Operation

Working alongside Obito, Madara suppresses Naruto and Killer B, battles Josuke’s massive Buddha-Susanoo construct, and becomes increasingly focused on eliminating Josuke after being seriously damaged by him. 163 164

Clash with the Reanimated Uchiha

Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi challenge Madara together using Perfect Susanoo. Madara defeats their attempts through superior experience, escapes their Four Red Yang Formation with a Wood Release clone, and redirects Obito’s Impure World Reincarnation toward his own resurrection. 191 192 194

Six Paths Ascension and Betrayal

After regaining his Rinnegan, Madara merges with the Ten-Tails and becomes Six Paths Madara. He activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi, only for Black Zetsu to reveal that Madara himself was manipulated and to transform him into Kaguya’s vessel. 195 202 203

Postwar Alliance

Following Kaguya’s sealing, Madara reappears as Rinnegan Madara. He accepts Josuke’s proposal to unite powerful reanimated shinobi in defense of the Ninja World and as an act of atonement. 210
