Background
Madara faked his death following his final battle with Senju Hashirama by using Izanagi. Afterward, he obtained Hashirama's flesh and combined its power with his own, eventually awakening the Rinnegan. 177 178
In extreme old age, Madara survived in a hidden cave while connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and later the God Tree through white tubes. His deteriorating body made finding an Uchiha successor his foremost priority; that successor was meant to act under Madara's identity and guide Nagato toward the Eye of the Moon Plan. 86 97
Madara took an interest in Liuxia after learning that the Senju descendant possessed Wood Release, but he deemed locating a successor more urgent than confronting him. 86
Appearance
Madara was first seen as an aged man seated in a hidden cave, his body sustained by life-support tubes connected to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Even then, his scarlet Sharingan and oppressive chakra conveyed his former might. 86
- Deeply wrinkled, aged face during his period of physical decline. 86
- Long dark hair and three-tomoe scarlet Sharingan. 86 130
- Crimson armor in his Impure World Reincarnation form. 149
- Wields a large Flame Fan in close combat. 150 204
- Regained living skin, blood flow, and a beating heart after resurrection. 159
Personality
Madara is intensely proud, dismissing most shinobi and the Five Kage as unworthy opponents. He thrives on high-level combat, openly seeks opponents capable of making him “dance,” and acknowledges rare individuals whose strength impresses him, such as the Third Raikage. 149 161
His belief that the shinobi world is fundamentally diseased drives his pursuit of peace. He initially sought an illusory solution through the Eye of the Moon Plan, convinced that Hashirama's village system had failed to end war. 149 155
Although he is slow to abandon his convictions, Madara can accept hard truths. After learning that Black Zetsu had manipulated his life and plan, he admitted his despair, reconsidered his purpose, and agreed to work with Liuxia toward a different method of changing the world. 154 155
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Genjutsu
Madara retains formidable Sharingan prowess even in his aged state.
