Background / History
Madara was one of Konohagakure’s founders alongside Hashirama Senju. After the wars subsided, the Uchiha and Senju contested the Hokage position; Hashirama opposed the Warring States belief that the strongest should rule, while Madara remained committed to it. Their ideological conflict turned the founders into enemies. 23
Their historic battle left lasting marks throughout the Valley of the End: concentrated Fire Style scorched its rock walls, while Hashirama’s enormous fist and palm impressions remained in the gorge. 34
Madara’s growth was later revealed to have been manipulated over centuries. Black Zetsu watched him from birth, altered the Uchiha stone tablet to guide him, and directed him toward the God Tree and Kaguya Otsutsuki’s revival. 273
Appearance
Madara is revived in ancient armor with a powerful, refined physique and an openly contemptuous expression. Ryosuke compares his body to steel repeatedly tempered in a furnace, with several immense powers concealed within it. 256 257
- Revived form — armored Uchiha shinobi with a body restored from its previously weakened state. 256
- Six Paths transformation — white hair, pale skin, horn-like protrusions, black staff, and floating Truth-Seeking Orbs. 267
- God Tree fusion — develops a cracked forehead that reveals a dark crimson Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. 271
Personality
Madara is intensely proud, battle-driven, and unwilling to recognize anyone as his superior. He dismisses ordinary shinobi—including the Five Kage—as insignificant, but becomes animated when confronting opponents he considers worthy, especially Hashirama Senju and Hyuga Ryosuke. 256 261 263
He believes strength must be personally seized rather than entrusted to others. This conviction drives his contempt for the Allied Shinobi Forces and his refusal to abandon his plans for a future generation. 263
Despite his arrogance, Madara respects persistence and self-made strength. Ryosuke recognizes that Madara repeatedly exceeded the known limits of the Sharingan through determination, even if Black Zetsu engineered many of the opportunities he encountered. 258
Black Zetsu’s revelation that Madara had been a pawn devastates him. Years spent unable to control his own body erode his former ambition; once freed, he no longer seeks to reclaim his old plans and chooses to return to Konoha. 273 303
Abilities & Skills
Dōjutsu
Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and his original Rinnegan, using both at a level that overwhelms most shinobi. 236 256
- Susanoo — manifests a pale-blue to deep-blue chakra warrior, progressing from armored stages to a Complete Body Susanoo. 257 258 260
- Rinnegan mastery — uses Rinnegan abilities naturally and efficiently, including mental intrusion, repulsive force, meteor summoning, Black Rods, and chakra suppression. 256 260 263
- Limbo: Border Jail — creates invisible Rinnegan shadows equal in strength to himself; a complete pair of Rinnegan can produce four shadows. 262 265
- Limitation — Limbo consumes substantial Pupil Power and cannot be repeatedly used in short succession. 265
Ninjutsu and Senjutsu
Madara’s skill spans genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu, earning him recognition as a combat genius with exceptionally high attainments in every major shinobi discipline. 254
- Fire Style — his concentrated flames permanently scorched sections of the Valley of the End. 34
- Wood Release — employs Wood Release clones, Wood Human Technique, Wood Dragons, Deep Forest Emergence, and a Susanoo-armored True Several Thousand Hands statue. 261 265 268 269
- Sage Chakra absorption — drains Hashirama’s Sage Chakra and studies Natural Energy through the stolen power. 263

Six Paths Power
After merging with the Ten-Tails, Madara gains a divine body, immense Chakra reserves, regeneration, Truth-Seeking Orbs, and Six Paths sensory capabilities. 267
- His transformed body rapidly restores catastrophic injuries that would otherwise be fatal. 269
- He can seal Naruto with Black Rods and chains while attempting to extract the Nine-Tails. 266
- He summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and begins the God Tree’s revival. 263 264
- His Six Paths power is initially unfamiliar; Ryosuke exploits Madara’s lack of mastery and knowledge of his opponent’s abilities. 269
God Tree Fusion
By absorbing the God Tree and fusing it completely with the Ten-Tails, Madara obtains a temporary form of Eternal Immortality. 270 271
- Draws continuous energy from the planet, allowing him to exist for as long as the planet can sustain him. 271
- Gains access to inherited Otsutsuki techniques and begins manifesting a Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. 271
- Can survive being driven deep into the planet’s magma by Ryosuke’s attacks. 271
- Limitation — the God Tree and Kaguya’s consciousness can restrict or reclaim this power, ending his immortality. 273
Combat Instinct and Adaptability
Madara remains calm against unfamiliar high-level combatants and adapts his tactics mid-battle. He evades Might Guy’s Eight Gates attacks while countering Hashirama and the Allied Shinobi Forces simultaneously. 262
- Uses the force of Guy’s attacks to propel himself toward Hashirama. 262
- Acknowledges defeat in taijutsu against Shanks, but compensates through Susanoo and overall combat power. 258
- Quickly identifies Ryosuke’s use of Space-Time Sorcery and the mechanics behind his stacked-punch taijutsu. 271
Relationships
- Hashirama Senju — Co-founder of Konoha, lifelong rival, and ideological opposite. Madara eagerly seeks a direct rematch even after setting his sights on Ryosuke. 23 261 263
- Hyuga Ryosuke — Rival from the new era whom Madara considers comparable to Hashirama. Madara repeatedly delays his larger plan to seek a fair battle against him. 256 260 268
- Black Zetsu — Believed by Madara to be a creation of his own will, but is actually the manipulator who guided his life toward Kaguya’s revival. 260 273
- Kaguya Otsutsuki — The consciousness within the God Tree whose power Madara temporarily borrows; she later reclaims that power and controls his body. 271 273 303
- Nagato — A pawn who carried Madara’s Rinnegan. Madara reclaims the eyes and extracts Nagato’s memories upon revival. 256 260
- Obito Uchiha — A failed subordinate whose betrayal disappoints Madara; he regrets not training Obito from childhood. 266
- Shanks — Ryosuke’s chosen challenger against Madara. Their duel forces Madara to escalate Susanoo to its Complete Body form. 257 258
Story Role / Major Arcs

- Ten-Tails and Six Paths ascension — Absorbs Hashirama’s Sage Chakra, summons the Demonic Statue, revives the God Tree, and becomes the Ten-Tails’ Six Paths host. 263 264 267
- Battle for supremacy against Ryosuke — Challenges Ryosuke after reaching the Six Paths Realm, then further fuses with the God Tree to obtain Eternal Immortality. Ryosuke’s superior preparation, taijutsu, and battle knowledge repeatedly overcome Madara’s raw power. 268 269 271
- Black Zetsu’s betrayal — Learns that Black Zetsu manipulated the stone tablet and his entire path to revive Kaguya. Kaguya then withdraws Madara’s immortal power and later controls his body. 273 303
