Power Progression

|---|---|---|
| Mangekyo Sharingan | 54 55 114 | Awakened after witnessing his father’s death; greatly strengthened his spirit and enabled high-level genjutsu and ocular techniques. |
| Complete Susanoo | 59 | Manifested a nearly hundred-meter blue, four-armed Susanoo wielding four longswords; its extreme ocular-power cost caused bleeding from his eyes. |

Background / History
Madara was first encountered as a child beside a river with Senju Hashirama, his close friend despite the feud between their clans. Bai Sui initially considered killing him to prevent the future emergence of the Mangekyo, Rinnegan, and Ōtsutsuki-related disasters, but recognized that Madara was still a child shaped by a violent world. 42
When Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma tried to kill one another’s sons, Madara and Hashirama each protected their own younger brother. Bai Sui intervened before either attack could land. 47 Madara later awakened the Mangekyo after watching his father die, inheriting the duty to lead the Uchiha Clan. 54 114
After succeeding Tajima as clan head, Madara detected Bai Sui’s divine-sense probe from outside Uchiha territory and confronted him cautiously. He sought methods to strengthen his spirit for Izuna’s sake, accepting Bai Sui’s Visualization and Meditation methods. 54 56
As clan head, Madara led an aggressive Uchiha expansion, annexing and plundering nearby smaller clans. His Susanoo’s battlefield appearance made him a terror to opposing forces, while Uchiha elites supported him with their own ocular powers. 57
Appearance
During his Rinnegan-era battle against Hashirama, Madara wore a white robe, carried a monk’s staff, and bore two horns. 112
- Commands a blue Susanoo that developed from skeletal manifestations into a Tengu-armored, winged complete form. 59 71 97
- His complete early Susanoo stood nearly one hundred meters tall and possessed four arms, each armed with a longsword. 59
- Excessive Mangekyo use caused blood to stream from his eyes before Bai Sui restored his damaged vision. 59 95
Personality
Madara is intensely proud, vigilant, and unwilling to submit to feudal lords or accept limits imposed on ninjas. As a clan leader, he pursued expansion ruthlessly and viewed overwhelming personal power as the means to secure the Ninja World’s future. 57 110
His ambition is rooted in a desire for peace rather than conquest for its own sake. He recalls the pain of losing his father and wants to create a world where children do not have to grow up on battlefields. After defeating Hashirama, he asked his former friend to help realize that childhood dream, even if it made them enemies of the world. 114
Madara is also perceptive and analytical. He connected the altered Uchiha stone tablet, the attack on Izuna, and the pursuit of ocular power to a long-term scheme involving the Rinnegan. 94 Although he favors direct demonstrations of strength, the Ōtsutsuki conflict taught him the importance of rapid coordination rather than relying on Bai Sui to resolve the aftermath. 125 132
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan
Madara’s Mangekyo grants powerful genjutsu, immense ocular power, and the foundation for his Susanoo.
- His spirit became unusually resilient after activating the Mangekyo, allowing him to quickly recover from Bai Sui drawing his consciousness into a mental space. 55
- His Mangekyo augmented his Fire Release beyond ordinary standards. 58
- Its continued overuse damaged his vision and imposed severe strain until Bai Sui replenished his ocular power. 75 95
- He uses ocular power to control and develop Susanoo through visualization. 71
Susanoo
Madara’s Susanoo is his primary giant-form combat technique, progressing from partial skeletal protection to a flying, armored giant.
- Initially manifested ribs and an upper skeletal body to shield himself from Hashirama’s spores. 59
- His complete form carried four longswords and could confront Hashirama’s Wood Human Technique directly. 59
- He can form Chakra Magatama from Susanoo’s swords, direct them in flight, and use them to break defenses or free the Nine-Tails. 75
- Its final documented form has wings, allowing sustained aerial attacks. 97
Nine-Tails Control
Madara can summon the Nine-Tails as a combat asset.
- He deployed the Nine-Tails against Hashirama when his own Susanoo alone was insufficient. 74
- At that stage, he could not fully control it or equip it with Majestic Attire: Susanoo. 75
- The Nine-Tails’ chakra was later used to fuel Madara’s Kekkei Mōra transformation. 110
Rinnegan
After awakening the Rinnegan, Madara gained access to vastly stronger ocular techniques.
- Summoned a massive meteorite as a display of power before declaring his intention to unify the Ninja World. 115
- Used Super Banshō Ten'in in flawless combination with Hashirama’s Super Shinra Tensei to repel Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. 125
- His Rinnegan-era abilities initially exceeded his chakra capacity; even after his transformation, his reserves could not freely sustain his strongest techniques. 111
Truth-Seeking Orbs
Madara subconsciously formed five Truth-Seeking Orbs after gaining Kekkei Mōra. 111
- The orbs can reshape into defensive spheres or a floating black staff. 113
- Contact with an orb annihilates physical matter, erasing Hashirama’s Wood Release from the point of impact. 113
- Their effective control range is approximately seventy meters. 113
- They withstood Hashirama’s strongest attacks, including True Several Thousand Hands and Majestic Attire: Susanoo. 113
Sage Arts
In his later years, Madara used sage techniques primarily based on Fire and Lightning Release.
- Sage Art: Fire Release: Hundred Dragon Song — launched dragon-like fire attacks that caused Momoshiki pain even after absorption. 126
- Sage Art: Yin Release: Lightning Wave — expelled a white torrent that spread into a vast lightning web through space. 126
- Alongside Hashirama, he could manifest a massive Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands in space combat. 127
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Black staff — carried during his decisive battle with Hashirama; it could collapse into a Truth-Seeking Orb for defense. 112 113
- Susanoo longswords — four giant blades wielded by his complete Susanoo; can be converted into Chakra Magatama. 59 75
- Nine-Tails summon — a summoned combat partner and emergency chakra source during Madara’s transformation. 74 110
Relationships
- Senju Hashirama — childhood friend, lifelong rival, and eventually partner in pursuing a peaceful unified Ninja World. 42 58 114
- Uchiha Izuna — younger brother; Madara sought spiritual cultivation methods for Izuna’s sake and remained vigilant toward the force that targeted him. 56 94
- Bai Sui — advisor, benefactor, and researcher who taught Madara cultivation methods, restored his vision, supplemented his ocular power, and enabled his Kekkei Mōra transformation. 56 95 110
- Nine-Tails — Madara’s summon, used against Hashirama and later as the chakra source that completed his transformation. 74 110
- Black Zetsu — suspected manipulator behind the altered Uchiha stone tablet and the attempt to have Tobirama kill Izuna. 76 94
- Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki — invading Ōtsutsuki opponents whom Madara confronted alongside Hashirama and the Ninja World’s other elite fighters. 125 127
Story Role / Major Arcs
Uchiha Clan Leadership
Following Tajima’s death, Madara became Uchiha Clan head and elevated the clan through violent territorial expansion. His Susanoo made him the central military threat among the major ninja clans. 54 57
Rivalry with Hashirama
Madara repeatedly fought Hashirama, progressing from large-scale Fire Release and Susanoo clashes to battles involving the Nine-Tails, Sage Mode opponents, and complete giant constructs. Their early battles ended without a decisive victor. 58 59 74 78
Search for Higher Ocular Power
Madara investigated the Uchiha stone tablet with Bai Sui and Izuna, recognizing a hidden manipulator’s interest in forcing Uchiha eye evolution. Bai Sui’s ocular-power infusions restored Madara’s vision and accelerated his eventual awakening of the Rinnegan. 94 95 108
Unification of the Ninja World
After becoming a Kekkei Mōra and defeating Hashirama, Madara revealed that his ultimate goal was a peaceful world for children. Hashirama accepted his vision, and Madara used his Rinnegan to intimidate opposition before declaring his intent to unify the Ninja World. 110 114 115
Defense Against the Ōtsutsuki
As one of the Ninja World’s highest combat powers, Madara joined expeditions to the moon and later led the front-line interception of Momoshiki and Kinshiki. His later experience against the Ōtsutsuki made him reassess the necessity of teamwork. 117 125 132
Notable Quotes

Trivia
