Background / History
Madara's long-term objective was the Eye of the Moon Plan: gather immense power through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Ten-Tails, then impose a new world free of pain and conflict. To secure his resurrection, he implanted his Rinnegan in Nagato, intending for Nagato to eventually use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique on him. 178 245
Black Zetsu accelerated that plan by possessing the weakened Nagato and forcing the resurrection technique. Madara returned without his eyes, but soon recovered his left Rinnegan from Black Zetsu. Rather than being discouraged by the incomplete state of the plan, he became eager to fight the revived Hashirama again. 178 181
After failing to decisively overcome Hashirama and Konoha through direct confrontation, Madara shifted toward broader schemes. He repaired the Demonic Statue using the life force stored in White Zetsu, coerced Iwagakure into serving as a weapon against Konoha, and intentionally let Obito and other forces draw Konoha's attention while he moved his plans to the Moon. 212 245 285
On the Moon, Madara first formed an alliance of convenience with Otsutsuki Cang, then ultimately slaughtered surviving Moon Otsutsuki and fed them to the Demonic Statue. He used Toneri's Byakugan and genjutsu to locate the Great Tenseigan, allowing the statue to consume it and restore the Ten-Tails. 285 316 348
Madara's lifelong belief in the Eye of the Moon Plan collapsed after the truth behind Infinite Tsukuyomi and Black Zetsu's deception was exposed. Though mentally shaken, he continued seeking strength, later fighting alongside and competing with Hashirama against Otsutsuki and Maha Clan forces. 396 604 607
Appearance
Following his ascension as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara adopts a distinctly Otsutsuki-like appearance: white hair, white Six Paths robes, and a Six Paths Staff. 363
- A face resembling Hashirama is embedded beneath his left breast due to Madara's Hashirama Cells. 197
- His Six Paths form can manifest a Rinne Sharingan on his forehead. 607
- He carries a Six Paths Staff during his post-Ten-Tails battles. 363 407
- His body possesses exceptional resilience and regeneration after integrating Hashirama Cells and the Demonic Statue's vitality. 197 206
Personality
Madara is intensely proud, competitive, and battle-hungry. His first reaction to Hashirama's resurrection is delight at the prospect of fighting him again, and he consistently measures his own satisfaction through overcoming increasingly powerful opponents. 181 429 808
He is also highly pragmatic. When brute force fails, he immediately turns to coercion, deception, sacrifice, and long-term planning; Iwagakure, Akatsuki, White Zetsu, and the Moon Otsutsuki are all resources to him. 212 245 285 316
Despite his ruthlessness, Madara retains attachment to the Uchiha Clan and particular affection for Izuna. He shows pride in the Uchiha Clan's break from Konoha, offers to train Natsume, protects Izuna from attackers, and readily agrees to grow stronger when it may safeguard his younger brother. 181 518 536
His interactions with Natsume are marked by irritation and reluctant regard. He initially refuses to yield the Uchiha Flame Fan, yet ultimately gives it to Natsume as an inheritance worthy of a capable descendant. 210
Abilities & Skills
Rinnegan and Limbo Shadows
Madara's Rinnegan grants him immense ocular power, including invisible Limbo Shadows that can independently attack with the same force as his true body. 181 197
- Uses Limbo Shadows to destroy Hashirama's Gates of the Great God and escape suppression. 197
- Can deploy a Limbo Shadow to delay Hashirama while his true body performs other actions. 289
- Recovered his left Rinnegan after resurrection; his missing right Rinnegan later becomes valuable enough for him to pay 500 million ryo to reclaim it. 181 400
- Can call down multiple meteors and shatter them into a field of destructive boulders. 194
Mangekyo Sharingan, Genjutsu, and Kamui
Madara possesses overwhelming Sharingan-based genjutsu and later gains access to Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan through a prepared contingency. 316 372 374
- Places Toneri under genjutsu to force him to reveal the Great Tenseigan's location. 316
- Overpowers Itachi's Tsukuyomi through sheer ocular strength and willpower. 406
- Uses Obito's right Mangekyo Sharingan to access Kamui after retrieving it through Reverse Summoning. 372 374
- Prepared a chakra clone inside Obito's curse mark specifically to seize and deliver the eye if necessary. 372
Rinne Sharingan and Amenominaka
After becoming a Six Paths being, Madara can activate a Rinne Sharingan and use Amenominaka, the forced spatial-transfer technique associated with Kaguya. 607
- Transfers Otsutsuki Hoshiki and Keita into a separate dimension after seeing through their attempt to manipulate him and Hashirama. 607
- Requires a sufficiently stable space to use the technique safely. 607
Susanoo
Madara's Susanoo is among his defining techniques, ranging from ordinary manifestations to a Perfect Susanoo capable of surviving catastrophic attacks. 196 281 285
- His Susanoo surpasses Hashirama's Wood Golem after Madara fuses with Hashirama Cells. 196
- Can manifest a Complete Body Susanoo over ten times larger than Fugaku's. 406
- Uses Perfect Susanoo to withstand a massive meteor strike after Tobirama's barrier has already severely drained his chakra. 285
- Drapes Perfect Susanoo over the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to create the Outer Path Majestic Attire Susanoo, nearly reaching quasi-Six Paths combat power. 289
Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Power
As the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara possesses Six Paths chakra, Truth-Seeking Orbs, Yin–Yang Release, and a vastly enhanced body. 348 363 374
- Uses a Truth-Seeking Orb to deflect Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones and save Hashirama. 374
- Wields black rods and a Six Paths Staff. 363
- Uses Sage Art: Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch, an attack potent enough to injure Hashirama through its aftershock. 364
- Can draw on the Ten-Tails as an internal “power bank”; Chakra Fruit absorption expands that reserve so long as he remains able to suppress the Ten-Tails' consciousness. 537
Regeneration and Demonic Statue Control
Madara can use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a source of vitality and chakra. 206
- Has black rods pierce his body to transfer the statue's vitality into him, restoring severe injuries within minutes. 206
- Uses Hashirama Cells to regenerate damaged organs and limbs; the chest-mounted Hashirama face also regrows after injury. 206
- Creates Wood Clones to assist the statue in reclaiming life force from White Zetsu. 212
- Controls and repairs the statue, later using it as the foundation for restoring the Ten-Tails. 212 316
Combat Instinct and Strategy
Madara combines exceptional battlefield awareness with contingency planning. 197 285 372
- Anticipates Hashirama's sealing methods and prepares Limbo Shadows in advance. 197
- Recognizes when direct battle is unfavorable and redirects his efforts into larger schemes. 245 285
- Sees through Otsutsuki attempts to turn him and Hashirama against one another, then turns their trap back on them. 607
- Rapidly grows through sustained combat; after dozens of battles, he rises from newly entering the mid-Six Paths level to instantly killing opponents at that level. 599
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Six Paths Staff — A black staff used in Madara's Six Paths form. 363 407

- Flying Thunder God Exchange Kunai — A special kunai, provided by Natsume, which Madara uses to teleport away from battle. 614
- Uchiha Flame Fan — The former Uchiha clan-head artifact. Madara reluctantly gives it to Natsume, recognizing its symbolic inheritance value. 210
Relationships
- Senju Hashirama — Lifelong rival, former friend, and Madara's preferred opponent. Their rivalry persists even after both gain Six Paths power, though they later cooperate against common enemies. 181 429 607 608
- Uchiha Izuna — Younger brother. Madara is visibly emotional at Izuna's resurrection, protects him from attackers, and accepts his strategic advice. 518 536 808
- Uchiha Natsume — Descendant, adversary, and eventual associate. Madara respects Natsume's talent while repeatedly clashing with his provocations and schemes. 181 207 210 518
- Uchiha Obito — Pawn, subordinate, and recurring source of frustration. Madara repeatedly saves and insults him, controls him through a curse mark, and takes his Mangekyo Sharingan when needed. 363 372 374 598
- Black Zetsu — Madara's supposed incarnation of will and resurrection agent. Madara becomes suspicious of its loyalty before later learning that Black Zetsu's manipulation had undermined his lifelong plan. 212 396
- Nagato — Madara's chosen vessel for the Rinnegan and intended means of resurrection; Black Zetsu ultimately forces Nagato to revive Madara. 178
- Otsutsuki Cang — Moon Otsutsuki leader and short-lived ally of convenience. Their alliance is built on shared hostility toward Earth and mutual plans to exploit one another. 285 286
- Otsutsuki Toneri — Cang's blind son. Madara gives him Byakugan, then uses genjutsu to obtain the Great Tenseigan's location. 316
