Background / History

Early life and the Senju conflict

Madara was raised as Uchiha Tajima’s eldest son and Izuna’s older brother. During the Uchiha–Senju conflict, he developed a strong foundation in swordsmanship and precise Fire Style, while the casualties around him made him increasingly serious and protective of Izuna. 424

At a secluded river near the border, Madara secretly met Hashirama Senju. The two trained together and discussed ending the clans’ bloodshed by creating a peaceful village for children. Their friendship collapsed after Tajima and Butsuma discovered them; Madara ultimately declared that the Uchiha and Senju could no longer be friends. 424 425 426

Madara awakened the Sharingan while shielding Izuna from Butsuma’s attack. He responded by intensifying his training, studying Hashirama’s movements and resolving to become powerful enough to protect his brother. 426

After Tajima and Butsuma killed one another, Madara and Izuna awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan through grief and rage. Madara later rejected Hashirama’s proposal for a full Uchiha–Senju union, arguing that entrenched hatred and distrust of Tobirama made peace untenable. 430 437 438

Konoha and Hashirama

In another account of his youth, Madara and Izuna were assigned by their great-grandfather Manji to help the defecting Senju brothers settle in Konoha. Madara initially treated Hashirama coldly, but became interested after learning that Hashirama sought to protect his clan and end the world’s chaos. 180

The two discovered that they had been long-time pen pals: Madara wrote as Wang Wenwang, while Hashirama used Wang Wenwen and Vegetative Person. Their shared ideals made them close despite their clans’ history. 181

Madara and Izuna later favored using Konoha’s military strength to unify the Ninja World, even proposing an invasion of the Land of Whirlpools. Manji rejected the plan in favor of stabilizing Konoha and pursuing diplomacy. 188

Hokage and the First Great Ninja War

After Hashirama stepped down, Madara became Hokage and convened a Five Kage Summit to impose order on the Ninja World. His approach was openly hegemonic: he sought to use Konoha’s power to restrain other nations, while Tobirama often acted as his cautious counterweight. 200 202

Madara and Tobirama pushed for direct war against Iwagakure, planning to use Flying Thunder God to strike behind enemy lines. As the conflict expanded into a prolonged multi-front war, Madara insisted that conquest would create permanent peace, even as Konoha’s casualties and anti-war sentiment mounted. 207 215

The strain of Mangekyō use left Madara increasingly vulnerable to blindness. He eventually stopped relying on his ocular power to preserve his sight. 215 219

Rinnegan and the Demonic Statue

Madara’s eyes later evolved into the Rinnegan. He interpreted the transformation as a possible reaction between his own power and Hashirama’s cells. 226

Using a stone tablet, Madara performed the required hand seals and summoned what he believed to be the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. The statue was actually a counterfeit created by Manji, who planted White Zetsu within it to watch Madara’s group. 230

Madara also sought a suitable Uzumaki child to inherit the Rinnegan, believing the clan’s exceptional chakra reserves and vitality might withstand the eyes’ destructive backlash. 235

Appearance

Madara is depicted as a black-haired Uchiha with scarlet Sharingan eyes. His features grow sharper and more hardened over years of war, reflecting his shift from a burdened youth into the clan’s central military figure. 424 439

• Black hair and crimson ocular patterns when his dōjutsu is active. 426 443
• Commonly carries a ninja blade in combat. 426
• Uses a Gunbai in his clash with Hashirama. 438

Personality

Madara initially presents himself as aloof, blunt, and difficult to approach. Beneath that reserve, he is deeply responsive to people who share his desire to end the chaos consuming their clans; Hashirama’s sincerity quickly earned his interest and respect. 180 181

His strongest attachment is to Izuna. Madara’s Sharingan awakening, relentless training, and later political choices are repeatedly tied to his determination that no one should harm his younger brother. 426 427 437

As a leader, Madara favors strength, decisive action, and security achieved through dominance. He comes to believe that war can end war permanently, a conviction that drives him to continue the First Great Ninja War despite Hashirama’s objections and Konoha’s suffering. 188 215

Abilities & Skills

Madara’s Sharingan grants exceptional visual perception and combat analysis.

• Tracks chakra flow, projectile trajectories, air movement, and subtle physical actions. 426

Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo

Madara can activate the Mangekyō Sharingan and invoke Susanoo when conventional combat options are insufficient.

• Considered Susanoo necessary to defeat Mu, whose fission ability prevented a decisive victory. 214
• Mangekyō activation causes severe backlash, including pain, instability, and bleeding from the eyes. 215
• He later avoids using ocular power in an effort to delay blindness. 219

Rinnegan

Madara’s Rinnegan gives him access to techniques associated with the Sage of Six Paths’ legacy.

• Successfully performed the summoning method recorded on a stone tablet. 230
• Summoned the apparent Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; unbeknownst to him, it was Manji’s counterfeit. 230
• Intended to entrust the eyes to an Uzumaki successor capable of enduring their burden. 235

Fire Style and swordsmanship

Madara combines Uchiha Fire Style with aggressive close-quarters combat.

• Built a strong early foundation in swordsmanship and fierce, precise Fire Style. 424
• Uses Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu to pressure Hashirama while maneuvering with a blade. 427

Relationships

• Uchiha Izuna — Younger brother and Madara’s most important family member. Madara’s need to protect Izuna drives his Sharingan awakening and much of his later resolve. 426 437 441
• Hashirama Senju — Friend, pen pal, ideological counterpart, and eventual battlefield rival. They once shared a dream of peace, but Madara later rejected Hashirama’s proposed union and challenged him to a final duel. 181 437 443
• Tobirama Senju — Rival and, during Madara’s Hokage period, military partner. They jointly planned campaigns, though Madara distrusted Tobirama’s intentions toward the Uchiha. 207 215 437
• Uchiha Tajima — Madara’s father. Tajima’s death alongside Butsuma triggered Madara’s Mangekyō Sharingan awakening. 424 430
• Manji — Madara’s great-grandfather and a major protector during his early Konoha life. Manji assigned Madara to assist the Senju brothers and later chose not to interfere with Madara’s actions involving Izuna. 180 224
