Background / History
Madara was a leader of the Uchiha Clan during the Warring States era and stood alongside Hashirama Senju as one of that era's defining shinobi. His younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, died after being wounded by Tobirama Senju; Izuna's death became one of the central losses shaping Madara's worldview. 345 340
After being alienated from Hashirama and Konoha, Madara discovered the Uchiha stone tablet at Naka Shrine. Black Zetsu approached him, claimed to be an embodiment of Madara's will, and explained the Eye of the Moon Plan and Infinite Tsukuyomi. 343
Black Zetsu later revived Madara through the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu using White Zetsu sacrifices and Madara's prepared remains. Madara immediately restored his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan using two Three-Tomoe Sharingan and redirected his campaign toward Kumogakure's Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. 287
Madara initially pursued the Infinite Tsukuyomi as a means of imposing permanent peace on a world he considered irredeemably violent. His reunion with the resurrected Izuna, however, forced him to confront Black Zetsu's deception and reconsider the Eye of the Moon Plan. 288 342 343
For Izuna's sake, Madara ultimately joined the Shinobi Allied Forces. He later released himself from Impure World Reincarnation control and was restored to genuine life by Uchiha Zhan. 344 345 439
Appearance
Madara is associated with the attire and armaments of the Warring States-era Uchiha Clan, presenting himself with the commanding presence expected of its former head. His appearance and chakra are recognizable enough to inspire immediate fear in shinobi who knew the historical Madara. 287 345
- Wears Warring States-era Uchiha armor. 287
- Carries the Uchiha Gunbai, his preferred weapon. 347 552
- Manifests a deep-blue Susanoo in battle. 306 351
- Resembles Uchiha Izuna strongly enough that their shared appearance causes confusion. 326 341
Personality
Madara is proud, domineering, and intensely competitive. He seeks opponents capable of challenging him, reacts with excitement rather than anger when confronted by unexpected strength, and frequently treats weaker foes with contempt. 287 306 547
His belief in the Infinite Tsukuyomi comes from his conviction that human desire inevitably produces war, schemes, and suffering. He sees himself as the person destined to end that cycle by forcing the world into an illusion of peace. 288
Despite his ruthlessness, Madara's bond with Izuna is his clearest emotional weakness. He is visibly shaken by Izuna's resurrection, shields him instinctively during their reunion, and ultimately yields to his brother's plea to seek a real world rather than an illusory one. 341 343 344
Madara is not merely a brute-force fighter. He studies unfamiliar threats, remembers warnings about enemy abilities, and recognizes tactical value even in opponents he defeats. 306 547 552
Abilities & Skills
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan
Madara restored his eyes after his reincarnation body received two Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which transformed into his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. 287
- Tracks high-speed opponents and reacts to attacks that would otherwise catch him off guard. 305 306
- Activates Susanoo at multiple stages, from a ribcage defense to a complete body form. 306 351
- Is described by Izuna as completely immune to genjutsu. 340
- Uses genjutsu to extract information, including Roshi's location from Han. 305
Susanoo
Madara's Susanoo is a deep-blue chakra construct capable of defending against Tailed Beast-level attacks and devastating large-scale targets. 305 306
- Susanoo Ribcage — blocks Roshi's Partial Tailed Beast Transformation strike. 306
- Second Form Susanoo — manifests musculature and releases chakra powerful enough to destroy Deidara's restraints. 552
- Complete Body Susanoo — a two-faced, 300-meter-tall construct wielding twin blades; its chakra alone shatters Kinkaku's tailed-beast chakra attack. 351
- Yasaka Magatama — destroys Kinkaku and is used to counter Yagura's Water Release attack. 341 352
Wood Release
Madara employs Wood Release alongside his Uchiha techniques. 306 350
- Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique — used against Roshi and Ginkaku; Roshi's Four-Tails form successfully destroys one instance with Lava Release. 306 350
- Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom — releases incapacitating pollen, though it was ineffective against Madara himself while he lacked living senses as an Impure World Reincarnation. 306 326
Fire and Lightning Release
Madara combines elemental ninjutsu with close-quarters combat rather than relying on a single fighting style. 289 305
- Lightning Release: Lightning Blade — pierces Roshi's Lava Release Chakra Mode and severely wounds him. 305
- Fire Release — unleashes a massive fire attack that annihilates approximately two thousand Iwagakure ninja. 289
- Majestic Destroyer Flame — used during his battle against Iwagakure, where Deidara's Explosion Release disrupts the attack. 548
Taijutsu and Weapon Mastery
Madara's physical combat ability remains overwhelming even against Kage-level opponents and Jinchuriki. 305 345
- Defeats Roshi with a Lightning Blade strike followed by a stomp on his wound. 305
- Subdues Tobirama Senju with a black rod that disrupts chakra flow, then physically overwhelms him. 345
- Uses the Uchiha Gunbai to disperse smoke and dust after Deidara's explosion. 552
- Rapidly adapts to the Fangtian Halberd and uses it to kill an Iwagakure scout and confront Ōnoki and Kitsuchi. 547
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Uchiha Gunbai — Madara's preferred war fan; initially lost to Uchiha Izuna, later returned to Madara during the battle with Kinkaku and Ginkaku. 287 347 552
- Sickle — one of Madara's original treasures, lost alongside the Gunbai before his revival. 287

- Black rods — weapons capable of disrupting an opponent's chakra circulation when embedded in their body. 345

- Uchiha Zhan — Fifth Hokage whose resemblance to Madara and extraordinary revival ability provoke Madara's jealousy and interest; Zhan later restores Madara to life. 340 342 439
- Ōnoki — an old adversary whose fear of Madara dates back to his youth; Madara later confronts him during the Iwagakure campaign. 71 547
- Uchiha Itachi — an Uchiha descendant whose resolve and Susanoo abilities earn Madara's acknowledgment. 352
- Might Guy — a taijutsu specialist whose strength earns Madara's competitive interest. 488
