Background & History

Madara led the Uchiha Clan during Konoha's early years. Believing the clan had no future under Konoha's present order, he urged its members to leave with him and establish a place ruled solely by the Uchiha. No clansman accepted his call, choosing Konoha's visible peace over his warning of future conflict. 1

Qile, a distant blood relative and one of Madara's few remaining relatives after Izuna's death, publicly sided with him. Qile's arguments about Madara and Hashirama maintaining Konoha's balance resonated strongly with Madara, though Madara remained suspicious of how a three-year-old could express such insight. 2 3 4

Before these events, Madara had personally rescued Qile from kidnappers who intended to use the child as leverage against him. He used Susanoo to crush the abductors and bring Qile home safely. 4

Rather than leave immediately, Madara brought Qile into the Clan Head's residence and began testing and training him. He confirmed Qile's first successful Fireball Jutsu, imposed rigorous stance and sword training, and arranged for medicinal treatment when Qile pushed himself to collapse. 5 7 9

Madara continued to serve Konoha despite his disappointment with its politics. He carried out confidential work for Hashirama, provided intelligence regarding Iwagakure, and refused Hashirama's expectation that he would become the Second Hokage. 28 30

During repeated absences from Konoha, Madara conducted missions while armed with his scythe and gunbai. He also investigated Kirigakure as a possible future base, initially considering control of First Mizukage Byakuren through genjutsu before judging the village's poverty and factionalism a serious obstacle. 26 29 42

In Kirigakure, Madara confronted the Hozuki Clan and forced Hozuki Gengetsu into an agreement: the clan would protect a child Madara intended to send there under another identity. 43 44 45

Madara later intervened when Qile was ambushed alongside his training companions. He protected Qile with Susanoo, approved of Uchiha Hikari's conduct as Qile's bodyguard, and used his Sharingan to interrogate the captured attacker, Inoue Yuma. 50

Appearance

Madara is a tall man with long raven-black hair that falls nearly to his waist. 1

• Long, waist-length black hair. 1 5
• Sharp, stern features and an ordinarily indifferent expression. 6 30
• Crimson Sharingan visible when he uses genjutsu. 42 45 50
• Carries a gunbai and has been seen armed with a scythe. 26 43

Personality

Madara is stern, demanding, and difficult to read. He rarely offers praise openly, even when impressed by Qile's talent, endurance, or Hikari's performance. His discipline is uncompromising; Qile's careless posture, complaints, and distractions are met with harsher training rather than leniency. 7 9 26 50

Despite this cold exterior, Madara is protective of those he considers his responsibility. He rescued Qile from kidnappers, concealed how important Qile was to him for the child's safety, trained him personally, and made arrangements for his protection outside the clan grounds. 4 28 31

Madara is politically perceptive and distrustful of superficial peace. He recognizes factional strain within the Uchiha Clan, reduces contact with the more extreme Uchiha Setsuna, and seeks practical leverage in other villages rather than acting blindly on pride. 5 26 42

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

Madara's Sharingan allows him to deceive, intimidate, and control opponents.

• Silenced a Kirigakure guard with genjutsu and passed through the village unnoticed. 42
• Placed Hozuki Gengetsu under genjutsu without requiring direct eye contact, causing Gengetsu's attack to strike Zhengyi instead of Madara. 45
• Used the Sharingan to interrogate Inoue Yuma after the ambush. 50
• Intended to use genjutsu to control First Mizukage Byakuren before reassessing Kirigakure's situation. 42

Susanoo

Madara can manifest Susanoo as a powerful protective construct.

• Used Susanoo to destroy Qile's kidnappers and rescue him. 4
• Shielded Qile with a blue energy construct during the ambush before dismissing it after the attackers were contained. 50

Fire Style

Madara possesses formidable Fire Style ninjutsu and uses it to evaluate others' potential.

• Demonstrated a massive Fireball Jutsu over a lake, heating the surrounding air and turning the water's surface red. 5
• Taught Qile the hand seals and requirements for the Fireball Jutsu. 5 7

Combat and Tactical Judgment

Madara combines overwhelming personal strength with political and battlefield awareness.

• His authority alone silenced a disorderly Uchiha clan meeting. 2
• Evaluated Kirigakure's competing clans and considered whether any could support his long-term plans. 42
• Provoked Gengetsu into attacking, then used genjutsu to demonstrate the Hozuki leader's vulnerability before extracting concessions. 44 45
• Recognized Kagami's perseverance and talent, ultimately granting him the Dragon Flame Song scroll. 27

Mentorship

Madara personally trains promising Uchiha through harsh physical conditioning and practical instruction.

• Trained Qile in stance maintenance, sword swings, hand seals, and Fire Style. 5 9 18
• Set Qile's daily regimen at two hundred sword swings, with training required before meals. 18
• Allowed Kagami to remain at his residence for training and gave him access to Dragon Flame Song. 26 27

Equipment

• Gunbai — carried on his back during his return to Konoha and when meeting the Hozuki Clan. 26 43
• Scythe — carried alongside his gunbai after an extended mission. 26
• Whip — used to correct Qile's training posture and punish lapses in discipline. 9 26 27

Relationships

• Uchiha Qile — distant blood relative, rescuee, and trainee. Madara personally protects Qile, houses him, and subjects him to severe training while concealing the extent of his concern. 2 4 5 28 31
• Hashirama Senju — First Hokage and longtime friend. Their relationship mixes familiar banter, mutual trust, and serious disagreement over Madara's future as Hokage. 6 8 28 30
• Uchiha Kagami — young clansman whose resolve earns Madara's approval. Madara permits his training at the Clan Head's residence and gives him the Dragon Flame Song scroll. 26 27
• Hozuki Gengetsu — Hozuki Clan Head compelled by Madara's genjutsu and strength to promise protection for a future child. 43 44 45
• Uchiha Hikari — Uchiha bodyguard assigned to protect Qile. Madara approves of Hikari's actions during the ambush and orders the clan to cover his medical expenses. 48 50
• Uchiha Setsuna — leader of the Uchiha hardline faction. Madara considers Setsuna excessively radical and deliberately excluded him from the meeting about leaving Konoha. 26
