Background / History

Madara was one of Konohagakure's founders alongside Senju Hashirama. Historical records credit the pair with pacifying the Warring States era and establishing the one-country, one-village system, though the details of their eventual conflict are obscured. 200 307

After leaving the Uchiha Clan, Madara took the Gunbai and Grim Reaper Scythe—divine artifacts traditionally passed down through Uchiha clan heads. 235 300 His pursuit of greater power led him to transplant First Hokage Cells and eventually awaken the Rinnegan after decades of development. 122 169

Madara implanted his Rinnegan into the young Nagato, intending for Nagato's vitality to preserve the eyes until Madara's resurrection. Nagato and Akatsuki's development were components of Madara's Eye of the Moon plan. 312 350

Kazuma reincarnated Madara in Amegakure through an improved Impure World Reincarnation. After Black Zetsu briefed him on Obito, Nagato, Akatsuki, and Sasuke's growth, Madara chose to let Sasuke develop for two years rather than eliminate him immediately. 312

Appearance

After his revival, Madara wears red armor and has long, waist-length spiky hair. His restored eyes are both Rinnegan. 350 353

• Cold, arrogant expression upon awakening from Edo Tensei. 312
• Uses a pitch-black chakra katana in battle. 336
• Manifests a towering blue Complete Body Susanoo with armor, four arms, wings, and paired swords. 347

Personality

Madara possesses immense pride and confidence, refusing to fear even the possibility that Sasuke might surpass him. He considers challenges entertaining rather than threatening and views most shinobi—apart from Hashirama—as beneath his notice. 312

He is willing to acknowledge strength when an opponent earns it; after Sasuke wounded him, Madara openly granted him preliminary recognition. 337 However, Sasuke's resemblance to Izuna and his taunts about Hashirama destabilize Madara unusually quickly, making him vulnerable to psychological provocation. 336 338

Madara regards himself as capable of creating his own place in any era rather than accepting obsolescence. 347

Abilities & Skills

Rinnegan

Madara is the true owner of the Rinnegan carried by Nagato and regains both eyes after his resurrection. 350

• Uses Shinra Tensei with exceptional timing and precision to disrupt enemy techniques. 336
• Uses the Human Path to extract souls and inspect memories. 365
• Can summon and wield Black Receivers in combat. 351 355
• Controls and summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. 350

Limbo: Border Jail

With both Rinnegan restored, Madara can create four Limbo shadows. 352

• The shadows can launch sustained chain attacks, restrain targets, and exchange positions with Madara's main body. 352
• They are ordinarily unobservable and imperceptible without a Rinnegan or a Sage of Six Paths-level body. 312

Susanoo

Madara can manifest Susanoo on a massive scale, escalating from a half-bodied giant to Complete Body Susanoo. 337 347

• Complete Body Susanoo — A blue, armored construct over two hundred meters tall with four arms, wings, and dual blades. 347
• Can clash directly with Sasuke's Complete Body Susanoo. 350
• Its sword strikes can split mountains and devastate the battlefield. 347

Tengai Shinsei

Madara uses Tengai Shinsei to summon colossal meteorites from the sky. 333

• The meteorite's size and altitude vary with his chakra and will. 333
• One attack was deployed from hundreds of thousands of meters above the battlefield, giving it far greater destructive force than an ordinary descent. 333

Nature Transformations and Combat

Madara combines high-level ninjutsu with close-quarters skill.

• Fire Release — Used against Sasuke during their first direct clash. 337
• Wood Release — Used offensively against Sasuke and Isshiki. 347 355
• Storm Release — Fires destructive laser-like attacks. 346
• Taijutsu — Capable of engaging elite opponents directly, though Isshiki's Baguazhang overwhelmed him while Madara struggled to control his temporary enhancement. 355 356

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Black chakra katana — Manifested and used against Sasuke. 336
• Black Receivers — Rinnegan-derived rods used for piercing and disabling opponents. 351 355
• Gunbai — Formerly taken from the Uchiha Clan after Madara's departure. 235 300
• Grim Reaper Scythe — Formerly taken alongside the Gunbai. 235 300

Relationships

• Senju Hashirama — Co-founder of Konoha and Madara's defining rival; Madara implicitly regards Hashirama as the only person truly worthy of his attention. 200 312
• Black Zetsu — Serves Madara as his apparent will and informant, briefing him on the modern Shinobi World and carrying out his plans. 312 350
• Nagato — Pawn chosen to carry Madara's Rinnegan and eventually revive him; Madara later reclaims his eyes at Nagato's expense. 312 350
• Uchiha Obito — A subordinate who used Madara's identity before Madara's return; Madara dismisses Obito's schemes and orders him to handle lesser opponents. 229 312 336
• Uchiha Sasuke — A clan descendant whose growth interests Madara; their clashes become a conflict between Madara's old era and Sasuke's independent path. 312 337 346
• Ōtsutsuki Rei — Temporarily fights beside Madara against Isshiki after intervening to prevent Madara's defeat. 355 356
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki — Overpowers Madara in their initial taijutsu exchange and forces Madara to confront a power beyond his expectations. 355 357

Story Role / Major Arcs

Return in Amegakure

Madara returns through Kazuma's improved Impure World Reincarnation and receives Black Zetsu's report on the failures and delays surrounding Akatsuki's plans. Rather than immediately pursue Sasuke, he orders the organization to prioritize the Demonic Statue's revival and waits to see how far Sasuke can grow. 312

Battle with Sasuke

Madara attacks Sasuke's side with Tengai Shinsei, summoning massive meteorites toward the Giant Crater. 333 He then confronts Sasuke personally, using Shinra Tensei, Susanoo, Fire Release, Wood Release, Storm Release, and Complete Body Susanoo. 336 337 346 347

Sasuke repeatedly provokes Madara by invoking Hashirama and rejecting Madara's vision for the Uchiha and the Shinobi World. Madara responds by declaring that he will build his own stage in the new era. 346 347

Resurrection and Rinnegan Recovery

Black Zetsu takes control of Nagato and forces the use of the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique. Madara returns to life, restores his youthful body, and takes back his Rinnegan. 350

After Sasuke's subsequent death, Naruto mistakes Madara for the killer due to the Black Receiver in Madara's hand and attacks him in fury. Madara subdues Naruto and extracts the Nine-Tails. 352 353

Clash with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki

Madara challenges Isshiki directly but is rapidly overwhelmed in taijutsu. Ōtsutsuki Rei intervenes before Isshiki can finish him. 355 A later external enhancement briefly raises Madara to Six Paths level, but his poor control over that power leaves him at a disadvantage against Isshiki's natural strength and refined combat ability. 356
