Background / History

Madara survived in a hidden cave within the Graveyard of Mountains, sustained by tubes connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Though outwardly white-haired and aged, he retained the spirit of a youth and continued preparing the Eye of the Moon Plan. He kept close watch on Konoha—the village he had founded with Senju Hashirama—and dismissed reports of Uncle, Chixing, and the talismans as childish frauds. 25

He relied on White Zetsu to gather intelligence and sought a successor to continue his plans after his death. Tobi identified Uchiha Obito as a potential “pawn”; Madara considered Obito’s attachment to friendship and family a quality that could become useful if corrupted. 25

When Nagato summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara’s life-support connection was severed. In desperation, he grabbed the Dog Talisman, which restored his youth, chakra, and Mangekyō Sharingan. Convinced that he could personally carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, he chose to investigate and seize the talismans before moving against Nagato or beginning the tailed-beast capture plan. 26

Appearance

Madara initially appears as a white-haired, extremely elderly man whose body depends on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for life support. After activating the Dog Talisman, he regains his vigor and wears the combat attire of his youth. 25 26 31

• Long white hair in his aged state. 25 26
• Black, tight-fitting combat suit layered with red articulated armor after his restoration. 31
• Carries a large Uchiha Gunbai in battle. 32
• Has Hashirama’s face embedded in his chest, the source of his Wood Release. 41
• Reverts to frailty after losing the Dog Talisman and using Izanagi. 45

Personality

Madara is overwhelmingly proud and dismissive of opponents he sees as beneath him. He considers contemporary ninja weak compared with Hashirama and himself, treats most enemies as entertainment, and shows little concern about the consequences of openly revealing his survival. 40

Despite this arrogance, he is cautious when his larger plans are at stake. After the Dog Talisman restored him, he chose intelligence-gathering over immediately reclaiming his Rinnegan, and he withdrew rather than pursue the Hashirama statue when his chakra was depleted. 26 43

His connection to Hashirama remains deeply personal. Madara reacts with fury to the statue’s resemblance to his former friend, but acknowledges its strength and later restores the damaged Hashirama statue before leaving the Valley of the End. 41 42 43

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Susanoo

Madara possesses the Sharingan and regained his Mangekyō Sharingan through the Dog Talisman. He later uses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to manifest progressively stronger forms of Susanoo. 26 40 41

• Predicts lightning-enhanced projectile trajectories with the Sharingan. 40
• Manifests multiple stages of Susanoo, culminating in Complete Body Susanoo. 40 41
• Complete Body Susanoo is a winged, mountain-surpassing armored warrior armed with twin blades. 41
• Its defenses can still be broken or melted by Shendu’s magic-based attacks. 44 45

Wood Release

Through Hashirama’s embedded face, Madara can use Wood Release techniques against both tailed beasts and Hashirama’s animated statue. 32 41 42

• Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique — Binds targets and drains chakra; used to subdue the Four-Tails. 32
• Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence — Creates a rapidly spreading forest to entangle and crush opponents. 41 44
• Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique — Creates numerous clones, each capable of using Complete Body Susanoo. 42 44
• His ordinary Wood Release was disadvantaged against the Hashirama statue’s Sage Art Wood Release. 42

Fire Release

Madara employs high-level Fire Release offensively and uses fire in conjunction with his clones and Susanoo. 31 41 44

• Majestic Destroyer Flame — Produced a sea of fire powerful enough to force Roshi into partial tailed-beast transformation. 31
• Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique — Summons four massive fire dragons to attack from multiple directions. 41
• Fire Release: Dust Hiding Technique — Creates dense smoke that exposed Shendu’s otherwise invisible position. 44
• Fire Release is ineffective against Shendu, the Demon of Fire. 44

Uchiha Reflection

Using his Gunbai, Madara can absorb chakra-based attacks and release their converted force back at the enemy. 32

• Absorbed Roshi’s miniature Tailed Beast Bomb with the Gunbai. 32
• Converted the absorbed chakra into a powerful wind shockwave that sent Roshi flying. 32
• Cannot properly counter Shendu’s attacks because they contain no chakra. 44

Izanagi

Izanagi allows Madara to rewrite unfavorable events—including death—during its active duration. 45

• Used it to survive Shendu’s overwhelming fireball after the Dog Talisman was taken. 45
• The Sharingan used to activate Izanagi becomes blind afterward. 45

Talisman Use

Madara briefly wielded several talismans during his campaign. 26 32 42

• Dog Talisman — Restored his vitality and granted immortality-like protection until Shendu reclaimed it. 26 45
• Sheep Talisman — Allowed his soul to leave his body and return; Madara judged it less valuable than the Dog Talisman. 32
• Rat Talisman — Prevented his death after the Hashirama statue’s final attack, but was stolen by the Shadowkhan. 42

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Uchiha Gunbai — A large war fan used for Uchiha Reflection against Roshi’s Tailed Beast Bomb. 32
• Red articulated armor — The armor of his youth, worn after the Dog Talisman restored his strength. 31
• Dog Talisman — Worn on his chest until Shendu took it. 44 45
• Sheep Talisman — Tested after capturing Roshi. 32
• Rat Talisman — Used briefly during the Valley of the End battle before its theft. 42

Relationships

• Senju Hashirama — Deceased friend, rival, and Konoha co-founder. Madara regards the animated Hashirama statue as an intolerable impostor, yet recognizes its strength and restores its damaged monument afterward. 25 41 42 43
• Uchiha Obito — Potential successor and “pawn” for Madara’s post-mortem plans; monitored by Tobi. 25
• White Zetsu — Intelligence network and attendants who report developments across the Ninja World and later provide Madara with a small amount of life force. 25 31 45
• Tobi — A White Zetsu who locates Obito for Madara, though Madara finds Tobi’s behavior deeply irritating. 25
• Black Zetsu — Associate who gathers intelligence on the tailed-beast jinchūriki and checks on Madara after his Sheep Talisman experiment. 32
• Roshi — Four-Tails jinchūriki defeated, drained with Wood Dragon Technique, and sealed into a scroll by Madara. 31 32
• Shendu — Demon who overwhelms Madara with magic rather than chakra, steals the Dog Talisman, and leaves him weakened. 44 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

Return and the Dog Talisman

Madara is revealed to have survived in the Graveyard of Mountains while preparing the Eye of the Moon Plan. The severing of his connection to the Demonic Statue nearly kills him, but the Dog Talisman restores his youth and combat power, prompting him to enter the talisman conflict personally. 25 26

Four-Tails Capture

After White Zetsu locates the Sheep Talisman in Roshi’s possession, Madara confronts the Four-Tails jinchūriki. He overcomes Roshi’s Lava Release and Tailed Beast Bomb, binds the fully transformed Four-Tails with Wood Dragon Technique, seals Roshi, and takes the Sheep Talisman. 31 32

Rat Talisman Battle

Madara travels to the Valley of the End for the Rat Talisman, kills most of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, and overwhelms the Lightning Release Quartet despite their ultimate combined technique. 39 40

The living statue of Hashirama interrupts his retrieval of the talisman. Madara escalates to Complete Body Susanoo and fights with Wood Release, but survives the statue’s decisive strike only because of the Rat Talisman. The Shadowkhan then ambush him and steal the talisman. 41 42

Defeat by Shendu

Shendu attacks Madara at the Graveyard of Mountains. Madara initially struggles because Shendu’s magic lacks chakra, rendering his sensory assumptions and chakra-draining Wood Release ineffective. Even thousands of Wood Clones using Complete Body Susanoo cannot overcome Shendu’s inexhaustible magic or immunity to fire. 44

Shendu reclaims the Dog Talisman, stripping Madara of his restored vitality. Madara survives by sacrificing another Sharingan to Izanagi, then returns to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and enters dormancy to await Obito’s development. 45
