Background / History
Madara's contingency plan was activated when Black Zetsu took control of the broken Obito and used the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him. Yoru knowingly allowed the process to continue, viewing Madara as a useful vessel for Hashirama-cell research rather than an immediate threat 172.
After awakening, Madara learned that the Akatsuki had been dismantled, Nagato was dead, and Yoru had risen to dominate Iwagakure and much of the shinobi world. Amused by the prospect of an Uchiha descendant powerful enough to ruin his plans, he demanded to be taken to Yoru 189.
Madara confronted Yoru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Ōnoki outside the Land of Fire Daimyō's Court. He was immediately unsettled by Sasuke's developing Rinnegan and Naruto's controlled Nine-Tails chakra, then challenged the group to fight 190. Naruto's Sage Art-enhanced attacks and Sasuke's ability to split Madara's Tengai Shinsei meteor exposed the gulf between Madara's expectations and the new generation's power 191 194.
Despite deploying his Rinnegan techniques, Perfect Susanoo, Limbo, and eventually the Ten-Tails' power, Madara was repeatedly neutralized by Yoru and his students. Yoru's side temporarily vaporized his weakened body with a miniature nuclear capsule, but his reanimated vessel rebuilt itself before Yoru shattered Madara's Perfect Susanoo 196 197. His attempt to regain supremacy as a Six Paths combatant ended when Yoru countered his Truth-Seeking Orbs, overwhelmed him with Baryon Mode, and subjected him to dimensional suppression through an Artificial Miniature Black Hole 197 199 203 204.
When Madara attempted to self-destruct, Black Zetsu betrayed him to seize his remaining chakra and Rinnegan for Kaguya's cause. Yoru then destroyed Madara's head, while Sasuke burned and incapacitated Black Zetsu; the surviving entity was subsequently captured for Orochimaru's research. Madara died reflecting that his era—and the plans to which he devoted his life—had become obsolete 205 207.
Appearance
Madara first returns in a crude reanimated body: tall, barefoot, and dressed only in a decayed strip of black cloth. A pale Hashirama-face graft is stitched into the center of his chest, and his body bears the damage and instability of his resurrection vessel 190.
- Wild, unkempt dark hair and a weathered, corpse-like complexion 190 196
- Rinnegan, initially with an empty eye socket before later manifesting both eyes 190 204
- Hashirama-cell graft shaped like a human face on his chest 190
- In Six Paths form, wears a loose white robe and is surrounded by floating Truth-Seeking Orbs 201
Personality
Madara is fiercely arrogant and treats nearly everyone around him as beneath his notice. He dismisses Ōnoki outright, regards Naruto and Sasuke as insignificant children, and repeatedly frames his own power as divine 190 201.
His confidence is rooted in a lifetime spent pursuing absolute power and the Eye of the Moon Plan. However, the technological and combat advances of Iwagakure leave him confused, humiliated, and increasingly desperate; even so, he continues escalating rather than accepting defeat 193 200.
By his death, Madara recognizes that he was manipulated by Black Zetsu as part of Kaguya's plan and that his ambitions no longer fit the changed shinobi world 205 207.
Abilities & Skills
Rinnegan Techniques
Madara wields multiple high-level Rinnegan techniques, using gravity manipulation and large-scale destructive ninjutsu in his attempts to overpower Yoru's side.
- Uses Banshō Ten'in to drag Naruto toward him 191.
- Uses Shinra Tensei against Yoru, though Yoru remains unmoved 195.
- Summons meteors with Tengai Shinsei; Sasuke splits one with a single sword strike 191 194.
- Uses Limbo to attack from another dimension, but Yoru's Sage Art sensing detects and counters it 199.
- His reanimated body's chakra reserves can be exhausted; Tengai Shinsei leaves him unable to continue fighting effectively 198.
Perfect Susanoo
Madara manifests a Perfect Susanoo as one of his foremost combat powers.
- Uses it to reinforce his claim of overwhelming superiority 192.
- Its defenses fail against the combined power of Yoru's side and are shattered by Yoru's own Perfect Susanoo 197.
- Even after reaching Six Paths form, his Susanoo does not reverse the battle's power imbalance 201 203.
Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and Six Paths Power
Driven into desperation, Madara fuses with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and obtains Ten-Tails chakra.
- Gains a ten-tomoe Rinne Sharingan and immense chakra pressure after the fusion 200.
- Manifests Truth-Seeking Orbs and claims power capable of remaking the world 201.
- The Truth-Seeking Orbs are ineffective against Yoru, who destroys one with a casual strike and crushes another construct with two fingers 203 204.
- His Ten-Tails chakra is suppressed by Yoru's Artificial Miniature Black Hole, leaving him unable to circulate it properly 204.
Reanimated Regeneration
Madara's resurrected body can regenerate severe injuries, including damage inflicted by Naruto's attacks.
- Impure World Reincarnation tissue rebuilds wounds and exposed bone 192.
- His body reconstructs itself after Yoru temporarily vaporizes it with a miniature nuclear capsule 196 197.
- The body remains unstable and visibly deteriorates under repeated damage and chakra depletion 196 207.
