Background / History

Madara was once one of the Uchiha Clan’s defining prodigies, becoming clan head while still young and earning the name “Ninja Asura.” Uchiha Setsuna recalls him as a cold, direct figure whose response to a clan challenge would likely have been bloodshed rather than compromise. 80

His conflict with Senju Hashirama centered on peace: Madara favored unifying the Ninja World through force, while Hashirama believed disputes could be resolved through restraint and communication. Madara later concluded that Hashirama’s approach had failed, citing the Shinobi World War that followed Hashirama’s death. 143 145

After losing to Hashirama, Madara survived by using Izanagi to rewrite his death at the cost of one Sharingan’s ocular power. He subsequently took Hashirama’s flesh and blood, researching Yin and Yang Release in hopes of evolving his Sharingan into the Rinnegan. 123 125

In old age, Madara remains hidden in a cave and is sustained by tubes connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. His lifespan and physical decline create urgency: he needs a successor capable of carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan if he dies before completing it. 124 125

Black Zetsu’s reports about Nanchuan You initially interest Madara because You possesses both Sharingan and Wood Release. Madara considers You a potential successor, but abandons the idea once he learns that You is already a powerful Hokage beyond his influence. 124 125

Appearance

By the time of his return to public view, Madara is an elderly man with a weakened, aged body, though his combat ability remains overwhelming. When concealed at his base, he depends on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for life support. 124

• Scarlet Sharingan with immense ocular power; later possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan. 124 125 157
• Aged and physically frail in appearance while connected to the Demonic Statue. 124
• Can manifest a colossal, armored Complete Body Susanoo. 154 156

Personality

Madara is proud, blunt, and supremely confident in his own strength. He considers strength the ultimate authority and treats most opponents—including elite shinobi—as incapable of obstructing him. 144 153

Despite his harshness, he does not favor indiscriminate slaughter or coercing opponents through attacks on civilians. During his clash with Nanchuan You, he rejects the idea of massacring the weak merely to force You into battle, viewing such tactics as beneath a true powerhouse. 156

His belief in peace is genuine, but his methods are extreme. He initially supports peace through forceful unification, briefly admires the Federation’s comparatively bloodless integration of nations, then reaffirms his conviction that only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can create eternal peace. 142 143 149

Abilities & Skills

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan

Madara’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan possesses ocular power considered greater than that of ordinary Mangekyō users and allows him to dominate weaker Sharingan wielders effortlessly. 143 157

• Instantly overwhelms Uchiha Yakumi and several Police Force members with genjutsu without activating his Mangekyō. 143
• Detects Chiyo’s concealment and warns that no one can hide before his eyes. 153
• Controls Shukaku immediately, stripping the One-Tail of consciousness and autonomy. 155
• Uses Izanagi, a forbidden Uchiha technique that can rewrite unfavorable reality, including death. 123

Rinnegan

Madara awakens the Rinnegan through the combination of Yin and Yang Release after obtaining Hashirama’s power. Its early form is unstable, but it later matures fully. 125 149 150

• Represents the completed Sage’s Eye necessary to enact the Eye of the Moon Plan. 149 150
• Is regarded as a power beyond the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 156
• Its eventual transfer is central to Madara’s succession plans. 149

Wood Release

Through Hashirama’s cells, Madara gains an imperfect form of Wood Release and the physical benefits of a Sage Body. 156 157

• Summons a massive Wood Golem during his battle with Nanchuan You. 156
• Combines the Wood Golem with Susanoo armor for greater offensive and defensive power. 156
• Retains formidable physical strength and speed despite old age due to the Sage Body’s enhancement. 156
• His Wood Release is stated to be less complete than Nanchuan You’s, as Madara suppresses Hashirama’s cells rather than perfectly absorbing them. 156

Susanoo

Madara can manifest Susanoo at an overwhelming scale, including its Complete Body form. 154 156

• Uses Susanoo to break through Sunagakure’s defenses and overwhelm the Third Kazekage. 154
• Shields himself within Susanoo from conventional attacks. 154
• Armors his Wood Golem with Susanoo, creating a giant construct capable of reshaping the battlefield with a strike. 156
• Forms wings on Susanoo to depart by flight. 156

Ninjutsu and Taijutsu

Madara is an elite combatant across ninjutsu and close-quarters combat, with skills that remain formidable even against Nanchuan You. 154 156

• Uses powerful Fire Style techniques against Sunagakure. 154
• Defeats Chiyo’s puppet with ease. 153
• Wields taijutsu described as the strongest Nanchuan You has encountered. 156
• Uses the Uchiha Gunbai in close combat. 156

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Uchiha Gunbai — Madara’s former clan treasure, carried with him when he left the Uchiha Clan and used in his duel against Nanchuan You. 156
• Demonic Statue of the Outer Path — Sustains Madara’s aged body through tubes while he remains hidden and cultivates the Rinnegan. 124
• Sealing scroll — Used to seal the controlled Shukaku after extracting the One-Tail from Sunagakure. 155

Relationships

• Senju Hashirama — Former friend and ideological rival. Madara is pleased to see him again through Impure World Reincarnation, but rejects Hashirama’s vision of peace and refuses to remain in Konoha. 144 145
• Senju Tobirama — Mutual enemies. Madara’s affection for Hashirama contrasts sharply with his open loathing for Tobirama. 144 145
• Black Zetsu — Presents itself as the manifestation of Madara’s will and serves as his intelligence gatherer, while steering him toward the Eye of the Moon Plan and searching for a successor. 124 142
• Nanchuan You / Tsugi Uchiha — Powerful Uchiha descendant, prospective successor, and eventual opponent. Madara respects You’s achievements but recognizes that You will never support the Eye of the Moon Plan. 125 144 146 156
• Uchiha Setsuna — Old Uchiha acquaintance who urges Madara to return to a Uchiha-led Konoha; Madara declines, saying the village’s affairs no longer concern him. 143 144
• Shukaku — One-Tail forcibly controlled through Madara’s Sharingan and sealed into a scroll for the Eye of the Moon Plan. 155
• Third Kazekage — Opposes Madara’s seizure of Shukaku but is decisively outmatched by Madara’s Susanoo and ocular power. 153 154 155

Story Role / Major Arcs

Return to Konoha

After Black Zetsu encourages him to investigate Nanchuan You’s rule, Madara travels through the Land of Fire and Konoha. He is struck by the infrastructure, prosperity, absence of visible beggars, and cooperation between shinobi from different nations. 142 143

Madara easily incapacitates Uchiha Yakumi’s Police Force squad, reunites with Uchiha Setsuna, and encounters the reincarnated forms of Hashirama and Tobirama. He refuses invitations to settle in Konoha, makes clear that he has his own path, and departs. 143 144 145

Reaffirmation of the Eye of the Moon Plan

The Federation’s success makes Madara briefly question whether the Infinite Tsukuyomi is still necessary. Black Zetsu fears that Madara may abandon the plan, but Madara ultimately decides to personally gather the Nine Tailed Beasts. 149

Attack on Sunagakure

Madara enters the Land of Wind seeking Shukaku, defeats Chiyo’s puppet, demands that the Third Kazekage surrender the One-Tail, and overwhelms Sunagakure’s defenses with Fire Style and Complete Body Susanoo. 153 154

He awakens and enslaves Shukaku with his Mangekyō Sharingan, seals the One-Tail into a scroll, and explains that he intends to use the tailed beasts to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 155

First Clash with Nanchuan You

Nanchuan You intervenes to protect the Third Kazekage, moving the battle away from Sunagakure. Madara trades Wood Golem and Susanoo attacks with You, then engages him with the Uchiha Gunbai in taijutsu. 155 156

Although Madara’s Wood Golem clad in Susanoo armor is devastating, Nanchuan You’s Flying Thunder God Technique prevents him from securing a victory. Madara leaves to pursue the remaining tailed beasts, prompting the Federation to organize a united response. 156 157
