Background
Madara was born two thousand years after the era of Indra and Asura. Hailed as the Uchiha genius closest to Indra, he matured at an extraordinary rate and became a special jōnin by age seven. 36
During the Warring States period, Madara met Senju Hashirama while skipping stones at a riverbank. Although they belonged to clans divided by a millennium of bloodshed, the two formed a bond through their shared talent and frustration with clan warfare. 36
Otsutsuki Yuhao had secretly appeared before Madara since childhood, unseen by Madara’s father and clan. After revealing enough of his strength to overwhelm both Uchiha Tajima and Senju Butsuma, Yuhao accepted Madara and Hashirama as disciples. His training combined barrages of low-level ninjutsu, tenfold gravity, weighted physical conditioning, and restrictions on chakra use. 36 37 39
Ten years later, Madara and Hashirama pledged to build a village without war. Their efforts resulted in the founding of Konohagakure, the first ninja village in the Ninja World. 40 42
Appearance
As a young adult, Madara had long black hair and wore a black form-fitting combat suit beneath red layered armor. 40
- His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was created after Yuhao implanted a Mangekyō Sharingan cell clone derived from Izuna into him. 40
- In Sage of Six Paths Mode, he wears a golden chakra cloak and robe, has six black magatama at his collar, and carries nine Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him. 88
- His Sage Body Susanoo can assume a thousand-meter second form covered in sage chakra armor. 219
Personality
Madara is intensely proud, competitive, and driven to surpass powerful opponents. He trained under Yuhao with the stated ambition of defeating not only Yuhao’s shadow clone but Yuhao’s true body. 37 He later sought out the Sage Art Continent specifically because he believed combat against stronger enemies was necessary to break beyond the limits of his bloodline. 56
Unlike Hashirama, Madara favors force over diplomacy. He proposed conquering the other great nations rather than holding a Five Kage Summit, and he used overwhelming martial power to enforce ceasefires. 43 49 His concern for peace is centered first on the Uchiha Clan and Izuna, with Hashirama as a notable exception. 56
Despite his severity, Madara consistently fights alongside Hashirama and supports him when it matters. He contributed three thousand Sage Art points to help Hashirama obtain a Chakra Fruit for Senju Mito, while arranging the remaining support from Tobirama and Izuna. 197
Abilities & Skills
Dōjutsu
Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, later develops the Rinnegan, and ultimately wields Dual Seven-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan. 40 66 248
- Amaterasu — Manifested black flames to force Yuhao away from Hashirama; Yuhao’s Rinnegan could absorb the flames. 41
- Rinnegan — Used the Rinnegan during the arrival of the Otsutsuki Four and in later Six Paths battles. 66 88
- Limbo: Border Jail — Creates four shadows, each possessing eighty percent of Madara’s original power; the shadows can coordinate separate Sage Art attacks. 67 70
- Enhanced perception — His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan processes high-speed attacks so precisely that they appear slowed within his perception; it does not literally alter time. 54
Susanoo
Madara’s signature technique is his Susanoo, whose unusual size is tied to his desire for its power. 51
- Complete Body Susanoo — First manifested as a blue, winged, twin-bladed war god five hundred meters tall; Madara could force it beyond one thousand meters by expending more chakra. 40
- Fourth Form Susanoo — Produced a seventy-meter blue giant while confronting Otsutsuki Uno in Yellow City. 51
- Yasaka Magatama — Launched fourteen blue magatama from behind an enemy formation, destroying the Senju Battle Squad’s fused Thousand Hands Susanoo. 54
- Sage Body Susanoo — A higher evolution divided into four forms; the second form is a thousand-meter construct covered in sage chakra armor. 197 219
Sage Arts and Six Paths Power
Madara mastered Sage of Six Paths Mode, gaining a golden chakra cloak, Truth-Seeking Orbs, and access to his Rinnegan while fighting Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. 88
- Sage Art: Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch — Fires branching purple lightning; Madara used it against Urashiki. 88
- Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang — A laser-like attack deployed through a Limbo shadow. 70
- Sage Art: Lightning Style Rasenshuriken — Delivered the finishing strike that killed Urashiki; Hashirama later neutralized its remaining destructive force. 92
- Imperial Sage Mode — Raises Madara beyond the Six Paths Third Step and close to the Fourth Step. 172
Fire Release
Madara is highly proficient in Fire Release and uses it at scales far beyond conventional ninjutsu.
- Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation — Released four fire dragons, each twenty to thirty meters long, to surround Yuhao. 40
- Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame — Produced a fireball powerful enough to ignite an entire forest and exceed most S-rank ninjutsu. 42
- Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song Jutsu — Used against the combined gravitational assault of Otsutsuki Ushi’s group. 52
Majestic Attire: Senju Susanoo
Madara and Hashirama fuse Susanoo with True Several Thousand Hands, creating a two-thousand-meter, three-headed Susanoo with thousands of arms. Their Indra and Asura chakra resonance multiplies the technique’s power. 41 68
- Used against Yuhao’s Three-Headed Six-Armed Susanoo clones. 41
- Reached the Six Paths Second Stage when used against the Otsutsuki Quartet. 68
- Was later shattered in one blow by the Chakra Fruit-empowered Otsutsuki Shiro-shiki. 70
Tactical Skill
Madara pairs overwhelming power with precise improvisation rather than relying on raw chakra alone.
- Replaced his Complete Body Susanoo with a boulder using the basic Substitution Technique, creating the opening for Yasaka Magatama. 54
- Defeated a fusion formation of ten Kage-level opponents while retaining enough chakra and strength to appear barely diminished afterward. 54
- Otsutsuki Lote judged that Madara had likely held back against the Senju Battle Squad and regarded him as a more skilled fighter than their collective fusion technique. 55
Relationships
- Senju Hashirama — Best friend, rival, co-founder of Konohagakure, and partner in Majestic Attire: Senju Susanoo. Their approaches to peace differ sharply: Hashirama uses diplomacy, while Madara relies on force. 36 40 43 49
- Otsutsuki Yuhao — Ancestor and mentor who trained Madara from childhood, implanted the cells that gave him Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and repeatedly pushed him beyond his limits. 36 40
- Uchiha Izuna — Younger brother and Madara’s foremost personal concern; Madara yielded the Hokage position to Izuna because he did not want the office himself. 50 56
- Senju Tobirama — Konoha ally and Hashirama’s brother; Tobirama joined Izuna in helping cover Hashirama’s contribution-point shortage. 197
- Might Guy — Madara acknowledged Guy as the strongest taijutsu practitioner after Guy defeated Lunshi with the Gate of Death. 82
- Uchiha Sasuke — A later Uchiha ally; the two fused when forced to confront the Great Demon. 221
- Otsutsuki Lote — Initially confronted Madara over the destruction in Yellow City, then halted the conflict after Yuhao verified that Madara and Hashirama were guests from the Ninja World. 51 55

Madara dealt the killing blow with Sage Art: Lightning Style Rasenshuriken. 88 92
