Background / History
Madara was the former leader of the Uchiha Clan and one of the shinobi who founded Konohagakure alongside Hashirama Senju. After losing family members in war and later falling into a philosophical conflict with Hashirama, he defected from Konoha in its fifth year, convinced that the village’s peace was temporary and inadequate. 1 59
While living in exile, Madara drunkenly intervened to save a woman from two attackers. The woman was Sakuragi Ri, originally named Senju Yeri. Madara admitted that he intended to obtain Hashirama’s power and pursue “true peace” for the ninja world, then promised to return for Yeri if he succeeded. 1
Madara ultimately returned to Yeri after learning that she was pregnant. He married her, and they had a son, Uchiha Ping. His worsening condition from Hashirama Cell rejection gradually prevented him from visiting them; by the time he had gained initial control over Wood Release, Yeri had died and Ping had disappeared. 13 126
Black Zetsu manipulated Madara through the altered Uchiha stone tablet, steering him toward the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Madara survived his battle with Hashirama through Izanagi, awakened the Rinnegan late in life, implanted it into Nagato, and used Obito to advance the Eye of the Moon Plan. 59 74
Appearance
Madara is first depicted as a middle-aged man with disheveled long hair, wearing clothing marked with the Uchiha fan crest. Despite claiming to be over ninety years old during his encounter with Kizaru, he appeared to be in his thirties. 1 218
- Long, untidy black hair during his exile. 1
- Uchiha fan crest displayed on the back of his clothing. 1
- Rinnegan after his restoration. 130
- In his alternate-world Ten-Tails jinchūriki form, gray-white skin, two horns, and Sage-style robes marked with black tomoe. 351
Personality
Madara is driven by an uncompromising desire to end warfare and create peace, a goal shaped by childhood losses and his disillusionment with Konoha. Even while drunk and isolated, he could not ignore civilians being harmed. 1
His ideals are paired with extreme confidence, ruthlessness, and a love of battle. He routinely dismisses opponents as inferior, invites strong enemies to join him, and becomes exhilarated when younger shinobi force him to fight seriously. 122 128 349
Madara’s restored family changes his priorities. He is deeply remorseful over Yeri’s death, takes pride in Hise’s strength despite losing to him, and values the chance to reunite with Yeri, Izuna, and other loved ones. 129 130 131

Story Role / Major Arcs
Exile and the Eye of the Moon Plan
After leaving Konoha, Madara sought Hashirama’s power to awaken the Rinnegan and establish his version of peace. His relationship with Yeri and the birth of Ping complicated that mission, but his deteriorating body and Black Zetsu’s manipulation kept him committed to the Infinite Tsukuyomi. 1 13 59
Hise’s Revival Trial
Hise arranged Madara’s Impure World Reincarnation revival as a trial for Itachi, the Five Kage, and Ping. Madara fought them with Fire Release, Wood Release, meteor summoning, and Complete Body Susanoo before confronting Hise himself. 122 123 126 128
Defeat, Resurrection, and Reunion
Hise defeated Madara after a prolonged Susanoo battle, then revived him with the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and restored his Rinnegan. Hise showed him the truth behind Black Zetsu and the Infinite Tsukuyomi, leading to Madara’s reunion with Yeri, Izuna, and his extended family. 129 130 131
Marine Vice Admiral
Madara and Yeri later reached Marineford, where Madara fought Kizaru and sought to join the Marines. His strength earned him a direct appointment as Vice Admiral; he later opposed Ace’s execution and proposed an alliance against the World Government. 217 219 309
Alternate-World Counterpart
An alternate-world Madara was revived by Obito for the Fourth Shinobi World War and pursued the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He became the Ten-Tails jinchūriki, but learned of the happier life lived by his counterpart and was confronted with Black Zetsu’s betrayal before Black Zetsu was erased by Sasuke. 344 351 355
