Background / History

Madara and Hashirama were childhood friends despite belonging to opposing clans. They avoided openly acknowledging each other’s identities even after suspecting the truth. Their families’ conflict eventually placed them on opposite sides of the war 22 23.

Shortly before the novel begins, the Senju defeat the Uchiha. Hashirama persuades Madara to accept an alliance, ending the Warring States Period and founding Konoha. Madara nevertheless remains burdened by Izuna’s death and other losses, and resents being spared after defeat 1 2.

The original Hashirama proposes Madara as Hokage before Li Tetsuhiro takes over his body. Tiezhu continues that proposal, offering Madara leadership as an expression of trust rather than pity and inviting him to challenge the daimyo system 1 2.

Appearance

Madara initially appears with long black hair and black robes, standing alone on a cliff overlooking Konoha 2.

• Sage markings: Black patterns form around his eyes in Sage Mode 6.
• Rinnegan: His first awakened pair has purple concentric rings; later appearances show seven-tomoe eyes and a red forehead eye 22 264 558.
• Shibai-cell transformation: His skin turns grayish white during the procedure, and the completed transformation leaves nine tomoe in each of his three eyes 564 565.
• Female form: Cold water causes waist-length hair, narrower shoulders, a slender figure, and a female voice. Warm water restores his male form 264 265.

Personality

Madara is proud, combative, and quick to anger. He treats many battles as entertainment, openly belittles weaker opponents, and welcomes enemies strong enough to challenge him. Even after Isshiki shatters Perfect Susanoo with one kick, Madara reacts with excitement at finding a worthy opponent 7 26 552.

His loyalty is strongest toward Hashirama and Izuna. He refuses to exploit Hashirama’s lost combat experience, instead insisting on helping him recover through harsh sparring. Later, he gives up his Rinnegan for Tetsuhiro’s plan and pours life force into him when he is near death 8 26 32.

Madara’s political outlook develops unevenly. He demands that village interests supersede clan rivalries, yet initially attacks Kagami’s criticism of Uchiha traditions. He subsequently recognizes the clan’s arrogance as dangerous, abolishes its elder system, and orders reforms modeled on the Senju 12 23 51.

His sternness often conceals care. He warns Kagami about blindness, protects the exhausted Hikari with clones, and tells Izuna that he hopes they can fight together again. Conversely, Tetsuhiro repeatedly surpassing him provokes intense frustration and renewed competitive effort 95 260 570.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Genjutsu

Susanoo

Rinnegan and Gravitational Techniques

• Batters Anubis with invisible attacks 218.
• Escapes Isshiki’s kick by exchanging places with a Limbo clone 552.
• Four counterparts can manifest Perfect Susanoo, although Isshiki traps them inside a Black Bowl using Giant Cubes 553.
• In the later sparring match, the four counterparts share his physical capabilities and ninjutsu but cannot use Sage Arts or Divine Arts 570.

Fire Release and Wood Release

Madara combines large-scale fire attacks with forest creation and poisonous flowering trees 16 31.

• Great Fireball: Exposes Anpei Minghui’s concealed position 16.
• Majestic Destroyer Flame: Engulfs groups of Colossal Titans and can be enhanced with senjutsu 95 551.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

During transplantation, he questions whether their shared past was genuine; Tetsuhiro reassures him without revealing his possession 22 26 32 565.
• Izuna Uchiha — Younger brother. Madara’s grief over him shapes his early isolation; his resurrection brings renewed hope. Madara protects him from Tobirama’s control, pursues his rescue from Black Zetsu, and later pushes him to recover and resume training 2 9 13 22 26 260.
• Tobirama Senju — Longstanding enemy, deputy Hokage, and reluctant collaborator. Their rivalry ranges from mockery and public humiliation to a destructive personal feud, but Tobirama performs Madara’s major transplantation procedures and acknowledges his reliability 10 22 30 220 264 564 565.
• Uchiha Kagami — Clansman whose reformist views initially anger Madara. Madara later recognizes the need to reform the Uchiha, praises Kagami’s Mangekyō awakening, and warns him about blindness 23 51 95.
