Background / History

Madara was one of the Uchiha Clan's previous chiefs and remained the standard by which later generations judged their leaders. Clan members remembered both Madara and Uchiha Tajima as “godlike figures,” while Uchiha Setsuna invoked Madara as the heroic leader the marginalized clan needed. 2 14

He and Hashirama Senju founded Konoha, but their conflicting ideals caused Madara to leave both the village and the Uchiha Clan. He pursued the Eye of the Moon Plan, intending to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to impose peace through world-encompassing genjutsu. 86 98

Madara believed the plan was supported by the ancient tablet at Naka Shrine. Uchiha Gōka later revealed that Black Zetsu had altered the tablet before Madara read it, making Madara an unwitting instrument of Black Zetsu's agenda. 8 86 90

Before his death, Madara entrusted Obito Uchiha with reviving him and carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan. Obito subsequently operated as the plan's executor. 86 100

Appearance

Madara is a burly, towering man with a wild mane of long hair and an overwhelming presence. In the Pure Land and after his resurrection, he wears ancient red lamellar armor. 6 95 97

• Long, disheveled hair. 95 99
• Ancient red or reddish-brown armor. 6 95 97
• Scarlet Sharingan. 98 99
• His resurrected body is restored to the condition of his prime before death. 94

Personality

Madara is domineering, contemptuous, and accustomed to treating younger Uchiha as inferiors. He repeatedly calls Uchiha Gōka “brat,” even after witnessing Gōka's strength and leadership. 7 89 91

He is intensely driven by his ideals and initially refuses to abandon the Eye of the Moon Plan despite learning that Black Zetsu manipulated the tablet that inspired it. The revelation nevertheless makes him visibly shocked and more thoughtful toward Gōka's claims. 90

Madara values power, direct action, and force as solutions to political conflict. Upon learning of the Uchiha massacre and Danzō's involvement, he immediately seeks revenge against Konoha's leadership. 90 95 98

Relationships

• Uchiha Gōka / Hellfire — Initially threatened him for the Resurrection Technique, but later negotiated with him, accepted his resurrection terms, and supported his Hokage candidacy. Gōka's Yomi technique keeps Madara under restraint. 7 91 95 120
• Hashirama Senju — Co-founder of Konoha and Madara's historical ideological rival. They later fight on the same side during Konoha's campaign to unify the ninja world. 86 98 124

• Shimura Danzō — Targeted by Madara for ordering the Uchiha massacre and persecuting Uchiha clansmen. Madara ultimately kills him after exposing his implanted Sharingan. 95 123
• Tsunade — First encountered Madara with Gōka in the Pure Land. She opposed his resurrection and remained wary of him after his return to Konoha. 7 92 94
• Uchiha Setsuna — Reveres Madara's legacy but ultimately places Gōka above him, repeatedly defending Gōka when Madara dismisses him as a brat. 89 90 91

Story Role / Major Arcs

Pure Land Encounters

Tsunade and Uchiha Gōka accidentally reach Madara in the Pure Land when the Nine-Tails chakra within the Crystal Stone Necklace overwhelms Nawaki's trace and guides them to him. Madara demands Gōka's Resurrection Technique, attacks when refused, and is repelled by Malice Rebound. 7 8

Gōka then bargains with Madara for knowledge, using information about the altered Naka Shrine tablet, Black Zetsu, and the Eye of the Moon Plan to force Madara to take him seriously. Madara's Mangekyō insights contribute to Gōka's later breakthrough. 8 10

Confrontation Over the Eye of the Moon Plan

After the Uchiha massacre, Gōka, Tsunade, Uchiha Hōka, and Setsuna return to the Pure Land to explain the truth behind Black Zetsu's manipulation. Madara is disturbed by the massacre, acknowledges Gōka's defeat of Itachi and Obito, but remains reluctant to renounce the Eye of the Moon Plan. 89 90

Madara offers to teach Gōka how to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in exchange for revival. Gōka agrees only to a one-day resurrection. 91 92

One-Day Resurrection and Attack on Konoha

Gōka resurrects Madara in Tsunade's home, restoring him to his prime but binding him to the Yomi Resurrection Technique's one-day limit. Madara fails to remove the restriction. 94 95

Seeking Danzō, Madara destroys the Root Organization base and burns down the Hokage Office Building with Majestic Destroyer Flame. He defeats the Third Hokage, Root, ANBU, and several Konoha jōnin before Gōka intervenes. 96 98

Gōka stops him by invoking their agreement and Konoha's status as a village founded by Madara and Hashirama. Madara leaves for Amegakure, confronts Akatsuki, and orders Obito to obtain the Yomi Resurrection Technique after his body begins to disintegrate at the end of its allotted day. 98 100

Support for Gōka and the New Konoha Order

Madara is later resurrected again with Hashirama and Tobirama to support Gōka's Hokage candidacy. Though bound by another curse mark, he agrees to investigate Konoha's condition and back Gōka. 120

At the village-wide meeting, Madara confronts Danzō over the persecution and massacre of the Uchiha Clan. He exposes Danzō's implanted Sharingan, kills Danzō, Koharu, and Homura, and helps clear the way for Gōka's appointment as Hokage. 122 123

Madara subsequently fights alongside Hashirama and Konoha during the campaign that occupies Sunagakure and Kumogakure and leads the remaining villages to surrender under Uchiha-led Konoha. 124
