Background / History
Madara led the Uchiha during their long conflict with the Senju. He and Hashirama eventually founded Konoha to end the practice of sending their clans’ children into battle. Madara later urged the Uchiha to leave the village, but few followed him; he regarded their decision to stay as a betrayal 188 263.
He fought Hashirama at the Valley of the End and prepared Izanagi to conceal his survival. During the battle, he obtained Hashirama’s flesh, intending to combine their powers, awaken the Rinnegan, gather the Tailed Beasts, and carry out Infinite Tsukuyomi. He believed this Eye of the Moon Plan could create a world without war, betrayal, or pain 266 283.
Ren later identifies Madara as a reincarnation of Indra’s chakra and Hashirama as one of Asura’s. Their connection belongs to a recurring cycle between the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines 220 230.
Appearance
After his summoning, Madara has a youthful body. He is described wearing armor and later appears at the Uchiha gates beneath a cloaked windbreaker 261 270 276.
- Long hair and dark red armor 270 280.
- Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan 262 267.
- An Impure World body that reconstructs itself from paper-like scraps when damaged 304.
Personality
Madara judges leaders and fighters by strength. He initially dismisses the modern Uchiha and treats their refusal to leave Konoha with him as betrayal. Reports of Ren’s victory over Hashirama and the clan’s four Mangekyō wielders force him to reassess them 263 264 265.
At the Uchiha Inner Court, Madara sees a prosperous, disciplined clan stronger than the one he once led. Rather than abandon his belief that peace will collapse, he decides to destroy what Ren has built. In battle, he attacks the Inner Court and its residents to force Ren out of intangibility 283 296.
Madara can nevertheless acknowledge an opponent: he accepts Ren as an equal after their clash and admits that Ren has surpassed his own mastery of Susanoo 295 298.
Abilities & Skills
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Divine Foresight
Madara’s Eternal Mangekyō supplies the ocular power for his Susanoo. His dōjutsu, Divine Foresight, shows him several seconds into the future 267 301.
- He uses foresight to anticipate attacks, but it cannot make an attack connect with Ren while Ren is intangible 268 296.
- Unlike an ordinary Mangekyō wielder, Madara does not risk blindness from using his Eternal Mangekyō 264 301.
Complete Body Susanoo
Madara manifests a towering blue, winged Susanoo with four arms and chakra swords 284 312.
- Its sword attacks can devastate terrain and overwhelm three Fourth-Stage Susanoo in a single sweep 295 296.
- His reanimated body’s replenishing chakra lets him rebuild Susanoo after the Uchiha Shrine’s Heavenly Tribulation repeatedly shatters it 289.
- He can armor a Wood Golem with Susanoo, combining the golem’s vitality and recovery with Susanoo’s weapons and defense 303.
Wood Release and Reanimated Body
Hashirama’s Cells grant Madara Wood Release in his enhanced Impure World body. He uses it to overpower Uchiha Jian’s Wood Release and to create a Wood Golem 284 303.
- His body regenerates severe damage, including the wounds left when Ren’s Spiral Sword pierces him 304.
- Regeneration does not stop Ren’s Petrification Seal, which spreads through Madara’s reconstructed body and imprisons him 305.
Taijutsu and Physical Strength
- Madara exchanges rapid close-range attacks with Uchiha Jian, whose Flying Thunder God movements are difficult for onlookers to follow 280.
- He opens all seven chakra-resistant Inner Court gates through physical force alone, including the final 256-ton gate 277.
Relationships

- Izuna Uchiha — Madara’s younger brother and a fellow Mangekyō wielder. Madara fused Izuna’s eyes with his own to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō 263 264.
- Uchiha Ren — The modern clan leader whose defeat of Hashirama draws Madara’s interest. Madara eventually recognizes Ren as an equal, then loses their duel and is sealed by him 265 295 305.
- Obito Uchiha — Helps summon Madara ahead of schedule and briefs him on Ren. Madara’s independent will makes Obito wary of the fighter he has revived 261 262 264.
- Black Zetsu — Helps arrange Madara’s summoning, later aids his escape from the Petrification Seal, and warns him against fighting Ren while weakened 261 356.
- Tobirama Senju / Uchiha Jian — Madara’s old adversary, now working with the Uchiha. They clash when Madara visits the Inner Court 270 280 283.
- The Uchiha clan — Madara once led the clan but considers those who stayed in Konoha traitors. He comes to acknowledge their growth under Ren, even while attacking their home 263 283 289.
Story Role / Major Arcs
- Early summoning: Obito and Black Zetsu revive Madara before his planned Rinne Rebirth to counter Ren. Angered by the change, he becomes interested when he learns that Ren defeated a reanimated Hashirama 261 262.
- Investigation of the modern Uchiha: Reports of the Shrine’s thirteen squads, cultivation methods, and Kumogakure victory lead Madara to investigate the clan himself. He opens all seven Inner Court gates, triggering its highest welcoming ceremony 265 266 270 277.
- Battle in the Inner Court: Madara attacks the clan’s defenses, battles its fighters, and confronts Ren. Ren’s Spiral Sword pierces Madara’s Susanoo, Wood Golem, and body, planting a Petrification Seal that traps him in stone 283 289 304 305.
- Escape: After more than ten days of captivity and chakra drainage, Madara breaks free with Black Zetsu’s aid. Weakened but still dangerous, he resumes attacking the Inner Court while its defenders seek Ren’s return 356 357 362.
