Background

Madara survived his presumed death through the Uchiha forbidden technique Izanagi. He later acquired Hashirama Senju's cells, granting him Wood Release and allowing him to create Wood Clones. He also possessed the Rinnegan, which he transplanted into Nagato so that Nagato could eventually resurrect him after his death. 102 120 377

As his body deteriorated with age, Madara operated from an underground base in the Land of Grass. He intended to obtain all nine Tailed Beasts, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi to impose what he considered true peace on the world. 123 239

Madara encountered the young Shimura Kizaru after hearing that a new “God of Shinobi” had emerged. He sought either to kill Kizaru if the boy proved unworthy or recruit him if he showed potential. Their battle instead demonstrated that Madara's aged body could not overcome Kizaru; Madara escaped through Izanagi and a Wood Clone after losing one Sharingan. 99 101 102 103

He then accelerated his preparations. Madara controlled Kirigakure from the shadows through Genjutsu placed on the Third Mizukage, created Black Zetsu from what he believed to be his own consciousness and Yang Release, recruited rogue ninja, and searched for a successor capable of inheriting his plan. 167 193

Appearance

Madara's appearance changes sharply between his aged and restored states. During his first clash with Kizaru, he wore dark gray clothing and possessed a withered, elderly body. After reclaiming the Rinnegan, he returned to a youthful form and appeared in Warring States-era armor. 100 104 269 270

• In his aged state, he was described as 179 centimeters tall. 102
• His restored form has abundant chakra and a far more vigorous physique. 269
• He commonly carries a gunbai and kama in battle. 270
• His Susanoo is deep blue and can develop from a skeletal torso into an armored Complete Body form. 101 270

Personality

Madara is intensely proud, confrontational, and dismissive of opponents he considers weak. He resents being looked down upon, speaks of combat as “dancing,” and openly regards most shinobi as unworthy of challenging him. 102 284

His belief in peace is sincere but authoritarian: he considers ordinary political settlements temporary and believes overwhelming power is necessary to correct the world's failures. This conviction drove the Eye of the Moon Plan and his desire to prove Hashirama wrong. 102 173 239

Despite his arrogance, Madara respects strength, especially Hashirama's and Kizaru's. Age and Kizaru's rise forced him to employ long-term schemes he once disdained. He also values his word, honoring his agreement with Kizaru even while pursuing his own goals. 213 284 296

After learning that Black Zetsu may have manipulated his ideals for centuries, Madara was shaken enough to investigate the truth and reconsider the Eye of the Moon Plan. 330 339

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Susanoo

• Forced Susanoo into its second form, gaining musculature, a chakra cloak, four arms, and massive blades. 101
