madara uchira


Numa época onde as nações lutavam por terras e direitos, as organizações não eram formadas por vários clãs e famílias como hoje em dia, mas como clãs individuais e independentes. Essas nações contratavam esses clãs individualmente para suas guerras pagando valores altíssimos aos clãs, mas dentre os vários clãs que existiam, dois eram temidos e considerados os mais poderosos: o clã Uchiha e o clã Senju.[1][2]
Madara Uchiha nasceu dentro do clã Uchiha, cresceu em constante treinamento juntamente com o seu irmão mais novo, Izuna Uchiha onde ambos eram conhecidos como os prodígios do clã Uchiha. Despertaram o Sharingan, ainda muito novos e com um árduo treinamento ambos conseguiram um poder que ninguém jamais vira, o Mangekyou Sharingan, e logo foram reconhecidos por todo clã como sendo os mais fortes de todo clã Uchiha, Izuna e Madara Uchiha chegaram ao topo do clã, onde Madara se tornou o líder do clã Uchiha.[1][2][3]
Nos anos que se seguiram, o clã Uchiha se viu em várias batalhas com o igualmente e poderoso clã Senju, se uma nação contratasse os Uchihas a nação rival contratava os Senju, o clã dos Uchiha era o único clã capaz de lutar contra eles.[1][2]
Mas devido ao uso excessivo do Mangekyou Sharingan, Madara viu a luz virar escuridão, Madara viu que esse novo poder tem um preço, ele tentou de tudo para voltar à luz, mas de nada adiantou, então em um ato de desespero Madara arrancou os olhos de seu irmão Izuna que segundo o próprio Madara seu irmão doou seus olhos para o bem do clã, para que Madara pudesse proteger o clã. A luz voltou para Madara e um novo poder se revela, Eien Mangekyou Sharingan. Com esse novo poder, Madara facilmente pode controlar cada clã ninja que os Uchihas encontravam pelo seu caminho, ele foi aclamado como o ninja mais poderoso do mundo.[1][2][3][4]
Para por um fim aos sangrentos combates travado pelos clãs, o líder do clã Senju, Hashirama Senju propõe ao clã Uchiha uma oferta de paz. Embora Madara nunca quisesse a paz com o clã Senju, dizendo que seu irmão sacrificou seus olhos para o bem do clã, todas a lutas que travaram foram em vão, ele não podia aceitar isso, mas o resto do clã Uchiha queria acabar com as batalhas travadas entre os dois clãs e Madara como líder do clã não tinha outra escolha senão aceitar a decisão do resto de seu clã. Após a aliança entres os dois clãs à nova organização foi empregada pelo país do fogo para ajudar a estabilizar as fronteiras, e assim teve inicio o sistema de se ter uma vila oculta por país, assim se formou a Vila Oculta da Folha do País do Fogo, com a união dos Uchihas e Senjus.[1][2]
Foi decidido que Hashirama seria o Primeiro Hokage, ele teve apoio de todo o País do Fogo. Madara temia que Hashirama traísse o clã além de diminuir o poder dos Uchihas na vila, ele como líder dos Uchihas sabia que o único modo de proteger o clã era confrontar Hashirama, mas os Uchihas não deram ouvidos a ele, disseram que Madara queria ascender as antigas chamas da guerra, ao invés de ajudá-lo, o clã virou as costas a ele, acreditando que a sua única motivação era a ganância. Madara abandonou a Vila Oculta da Folha por se sentir traído pelo seu próprio clã.[1][2]
Mas Madara disse assumir um papel de vingador e desafiou a Vila Oculta da Folha sozinho, o ataque resultou em uma luta contra Hashirama. Controlando a Raposa de Nove Caudas, Madara luta contra Hashirama em uma luta épica, mas acaba sendo derrotado, o local onde aconteceu a luta ficou conhecido por "O Vale do Fim", onde há duas estátuas uma de Madara e outra de Hashirama. Todos acreditavam que ele havia morrido e Madara foi esquecido por todos na história.[1][2]
Para que ninguém seguisse os passos de Madara, o irmão mais novo de Hashirama, Tobirama Senju em sinal de boa fé deu aos Uchihas a posição de polícia de Vila Oculta da Folha, mas isso era apenas para vigiá-los, para mantê-los fora dos assuntos do governo, alguns Uchihas notaram o que estava acontecendo e pensaram em começar uma rebelião, mas já era muito tarde.[1]

A "Herança" do Ódio

Madara em sua conversa com Naruto, conta a verdade sobre Itachi e que Sasuke vai trazer ódio a Vila Oculta da Folha, essa é a maldição de Sasuke, Madara explica que, essa maldição de ódio começou há muito tempo com o Sábio Eremita dos Seis Caminhos o Rikudou Sennin ele estava tentando trazer paz ao mundo, mas seu tempo estava chegando ao fim, ele confiou a seus dois filhos os poderes e a vontade do caminho ninja pela paz, o mais velho ele "nasceu" com os olhos do Rikudou Sennin e foi presenteado com um chakra poderoso e energia espiritual, ele acreditou que a força era a chave para a paz, e ao mais novo, "nasceu" com o corpo do Rikudou Sennin e lhe foi presenteado com força vital e energia física, ele acreditava que o amor era a chave para a paz. Em seu leito de morte o Sábio teve que escolher um sucessor e ele escolheu o filho mais novo, o mais velho não pode aceitar isso, acreditando que ele deveria ser o escolhido, e ele atacou seu irmão mais novo com ódio, o tempo passou, mas os descendentes desses dois irmãos continuaram a travar uma guerra de ódio, os descendentes do irmão mais velhos foram chamados de Uchihas e o do irmão mais novo de Senju. Madara diz que é o destino de Sasuke e Naruto lutarem, pois ele vê dentro de Naruto o fogo do clã Senju a vontade de Hashirama dentro de Naruto.[5][6]

Raposa de Nove Caudas ataca a Vila Oculta da Folha

Algum tempo depois o demônio da Raposa de Nove Caudas ataca a Vila Oculta da Folha. O selo de um jinchuuriki se enfraquece no momento do parto, Kushina Uzumaki que era a jinchuuriki da Kyuubi acabará de dar à luz a Naruto. Madara rapta Kushina onde foi realizado o parto, extraindo a Raposa de Nove Caudas pelo selo estar enfraquecido e a invocada-a no meio da vila, Madara conseqüentemente controlando-a começa a destruir a vila, porém, Minato Namikaze aparece e impede que a Kyuubi cause mais danos a vila, tele-transportando o ataque da mesma para outro local, longe da vila, Madara tenta surpreender Minato atacando-o pelas costas, os dois são tele-transportados para outro lugar, Madara que manter Minato longe da vila no intuito de que ele não impeça em seu plano confrontando-o, porém, Minato usa um selo retirando o controle da Kyuubi de Madara e ferindo-o, a Kyuubi volta ao normal, Madara se retira dizendo que um dia todos se curvaram diante ele. Minato de volta à vila invoca Gama Bunta e tele-transporta a Kyuubi para outro lugar, longe da vila, ele, Kushina e Naruto estão juntos, Kushina usa seu chakra e prende a Kyuubi, Minato se prepara para usar o Shiki Fuujin selando metade da Kyuubi nele mesmo, em seguida ele usa Hakke no Fuuin Shiki selando a outra metade de Naruto.[7] Após o ataque da Raposa de Nove Caudas os Uchihas se tornaram os suspeitos e suas terras foram movidas para um canto bem extremo da vila, e a discriminação começou, suas suspeitas se tornaram ódio e as suspeitas da Vila da Folha se tornaram fato, os Uchihas estavam se organizando para um Golpe de Estado, mas a Vila da Folha infiltrou um espião entre eles, seu nome era Itachi Uchiha. Itachi recebeu a missão do alto escalão da Vila Oculta da Folha, de assassinar seu clã, por estarem organizando um Golpe de Estado, porém nesta mesma época, Madara estava tentando reascender as chamas da guerra, pois ele nutria um ódio pela vila e pelos Uchihas, mas Itachi pode sentir a presença de Madara, ele o encontrou e lhe deu um ultimato, em troca de ajudar a Madara de ter a sua vingança contra o clã Uchiha, Madara não poderia fazer nada contra a vila, e Madara ajudou Itachi com sua missão.[8]

Mizukage

Em uma conversa com Kisame HoshigakiTobi retira a máscara e Kisame o chama de antigo Mizukage, e diz que está mais tranqüilo com ele por trás da Akatsuki, porém ele não era o Mizukage, mas sim a pessoa que controlava o Yagura o Yondaime Mizukage.[9][10]

Akatsuki

Para se manter na sombra da Akatsuki, Madara assume o disfarce de Tobi, foi ele que induziu a Yahiko a fundar a organização Akatuski, após sua morte, Pein se torna o líder da organização, porém em segredo, Pein recebe ordens de Madara. Ele usa uma máscara laranja que revela somente seu olho direito. Quando treinou Itachi usava uma máscara ligeiramente diferente com o preto turbulência como padrões sobre ele seus cabelos hoje bem mais curtos. Usa atualmente um uniforme que consiste de um número de pinos e parafusos, que geralmente é ocultado por seu manto da Akatsuki.[11][12]

Plano Olho da Lua

Olho da Lua é o misterioso plano de Madara. Há muito tempo atrás um sacerdote chamado Eremita dos Seis Caminhos trouxe a paz ao mundo, selando uma criatura em si mesmo, através de uma técnica que ele criou, essa técnica fazia de um ser humano recipiente de um bijuu, essa criatura era conhecida como Juubi, ou seja, o Bijuu de 10 caudas. ele foi o Jinchuuriki na Juubi, o primeiro jinchuuriki. Mas o sacerdote sabia do perigo: se morresse a Juubi sairia do seu corpo e voltaria a assolar o mundo ninja. Sendo assim, ele dividiu a Juubi em 9 partes, ou seja, os 9 Bijuus conhecidos: Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, Shichibi, Hachibi e Kyuubi. Depois ele se explodiu no céu, criando assim a Lua, onde estava o último pedaço da Juubi. Madara pretende pegar os 9 Bijuus e juntar com o último pedaço da Juubi, que está na Lua, e assim ser seu Jinchuuriki. Depois pretende fazer o Jutsu: "Tsukuyomi Infinito" a partir do qual a Lua se tornaria um olho com Sharingan gigante e todas as pessoas iriam ficar sob o controle de Madara.[13]

Izanagi o Doujutsu proibido pelo Clã Uchiha

Na luta de Sasuke contra Danzou, Madara diz que a técnica que Danzou está utilizando é Izanagi, uma técnica que foi considera proibida pelos Uchihas.[14] A técnica faz com que em um curto período de tempo, todo dano usado contra o usuário e até mesmo a morte, é capaz de se transformar em uma visão de um sonho, além disso, ele controla o piscar de olhos entre a ilusão e a realidade, mas a técnica está imcompleta, mesmo assim a conseqüência á a mesma, um dos olhos do usuário é selado em uma escuridão eterna.[15] Já no fim da luta, Sasuke acaba derrotando Danzou, Madara fica bastante entusiasmado, pois ele poderá extrair o olho de Shisui Uchiha, Madara leva o corpo de Danzou, mas ao extrair o olho, ele vê que em seu último suspiro Danzou o destruiu.[16]

O Rinnegan de Nagato

Depois de algum tempo da morte de Nagato, Madara vai atrás do seu Rinnegan, no qual está com Konan na Vila Oculta da ChuvaKonan já esperava a vinda de Madara, ela aguardava o momento certo para matá-lo e Madara diz que não ira se conter por Konan ser um ex-membro, os dois estão em meio a um lago próximo a Vila Oculta da Chuva. Madara pergunta qual o motivo da traição de Nagato e Konan. Ele supõe que houve uma briga interna na Akatsuki pelo Rinnegan, logo em seguida ele indaga a Konan se ela acredita que Naruto Uzumaki é realmente especial. Konan diz que ele é a luz em pessoa e que todos que ele encontra carregam a flor chamada esperança. Konan usa o Karada no Kami e se transforma em papeis para atacá-lo, Madara diz que Konan mostra suas presas para ele, mas que ela ainda veste a capa da Akatsuki e que talvez sinta falta da mesma. Konan diz que a Akatsuki foi fundada por Yahiko e que as nuvens vermelhas representam a guerra que fez chover sangue na Vila Oculta da Chuva, Madara só está vestindo a capa, mas que para ela e seu povo a capa representa justiça e que não pertence a ele e que os olhos de Nagato são o tesouro e a esperança do país dela. Madara então diz que Konan está errada e foi ele que induziu Yahiko a criar a Akatsuki e que ele deu o Rinnegan para Nagato, Eu só estou pegando de volta o que é meu desde o começo. Konan inicia o ataque usando o Kami no Tsubasa seu ataque está cercando Madara no intuito de que ele não possa fugir quando ele se solidificar, Madara agarra o pescoço de Konan tentando sugá-la para outra dimensão, porém Konan havia usado o Kibaku Ta Kamidisfarçado entre os papeis vários explosivos no intuito de matar ambos. Madara consegue absorver parte da explosão, mas, perde seu braço inteiro e parte de sua máscara ficando todo queimado. Madara diz que o plano de Konan em matar ambos, falhou, ele absorveu parte da explosão salvando ela também. Konan diz: Uma questão, Madara... você sabe o motivo de nossa traição? Madara diz: isto é uma questão de vocês Konan grita que ele é escuridão, um mundo sem luz onde as flores só podem murchar e morrer. Um oceano de papel se abre, Madara está caindo no abismo criado pelo Hijutsu de KonanHijutsu: Oushanpeupau Madara tem que solidificar antes de pode absorve a si mesmo e sempre que absorve algo ou alguém é mais demorado realizar a técnica, neste tempo, Madara fica intangível em uma duração de apenas 5 minutos, Konan preparou a técnica com selos explosivos para funcionar explodindo no tempo de 10 minutos ininterruptos. Ao final da técnica Konan está exausta, ela pensa que conseguiu matar Madara, porém, Madara aparece atrás dela atravessando-a com uma espada.[17]
Izanagi o jutsu proibido pelo Clã Uchiha que consegue transformar ilusão e realidade, cujo custo é perder a visão permanentemente, uma técnica que só pode ser usada por alguém com os poderes dos Uchiha e Senju, poder do Eremita dos Seis Caminhos. Izanagi foi originalmente usada pelo Eremita dos Seis Caminhos para "criar". Os Uchiha e Senju foram um só, o Eremita que era dos dois clãs e das duas linhagens usou seu poder para criar. Ao misturar imaginação à energia espiritual que forma a base de "Yin" ele criou aparência e formas a partir do nada e ao misturar vitalidade à energia física que forma a base do poder"Yang" ele deu vida às formas. As bijuus estão entre suas criações, com seu poder Elemental "Yin Yang" ele criou as nove bijuus do chakra da Dez Caudas, uma técnica com o poder de transformar imaginação em realidade. Segundo Madara, ele enfrentou Hashirama para obter os seus poderes, dois dos seis caminhos se tornando um agora" Danzou não conseguiu controlar o poder de Hashirama por isso seu Izanagi estava incompleto. Ao acabar a ilusão de Madara Konan estará morta, mas antes ela revelará onde está o corpo de Nagato. Madara encontra o corpo de Nagato em um templo, ele é o "terceiro dos seis caminhos" Nagato excedeu tanto seus poderes que a marca registrada do Clã Uzumaki, os cabelos vermelhos se tornou branco neve.[17]

Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara) is a major antagonist of the series. He co-founded Konohagakure, alongside the Senju clan, as leader of the Uchiha clan[3] and later, after his defection, Akatsuki. When first introduced, he poses as Tobi (トビ), Deidara's partner in Akatsuki.[4]

    Background Edit

    Madara as he appeared during Konoha's founding.
    Before the era of ninja villages, Madara was the most gifted member of the Uchiha clan. Even by his clan's standards, Madara's chakra was unusually strong. He grew up constantly competing and training with his younger brother,Izuna Uchiha. In their efforts to surpass the other, each gained their own Mangekyō Sharingan. With the power of the Mangekyō the two brothers took control of the clan, with Madara acting as its leader. Under his leadership, the clan conquered all they came across. Because of the never-ending series of battles of the time, Madara eventually began to suffer from overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan, leaving him blind. In order to regain his sight he took Izuna's eyes for himself, granting him an "eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan with which he led the Uchiha to prosperity. Madara insists Izuna consented to the act.
    The truce made by the Senju clan was accepted by Uchiha clan.
    Over the years, the Uchiha had constantly fought with the equally powerful Senju clan. To bring an end to the constant fighting, the leader of the Senju,Hashirama Senju, approached the Uchiha with an offer of peace. Although Madara never wanted peace with the Senju, the rest of the Uchiha wished to end the fighting, and Madara had no choice but to accept. The Senju, the Uchiha, and all the clans they had conquered came together to form the village of Konohagakure. Against Madara's wishes, the villagers selected Hashirama as the village's first Hokage. Madara feared that Hashirama would oppress the Uchiha, and tried to rally support for challenging his leadership. Rather than help him, however, the Uchiha turned their backs on him, believing he only desired more power. Abandoned by his clan, Madara left the village, later returning in order to challenge Hashirama in battle. They fought at the site that would someday be called the Valley of the End, where Madara used theNine-Tailed Demon Fox against Hashirama. Control of the Nine-Tails was ultimately taken from him and Madara was believed to have died.[5] Despite appearing to have been defeated and gravely weakened, he was somehow able to acquire a sample of Hashirama Senju's DNA to aid him in his future goals.[6]
    Twelve years before the start of the series, Madara discovered that Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, would be going into childbirth, causing the seal keeping the Nine-Tails contained within her to weaken. Madara found where Kushina was being kept, killed her ANBU bodyguards and midwives, and took her son, Naruto, hostage. Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, took Naruto back from him, in doing so separating himself from Kushina and allowing Madara to flee with her. As the seal was about to break, Madara used his Sharingan to put the Nine-Tails under his control. Since Kushina survived the extraction, Madara tried to have the Nine-Tails kill her. Minato arrived in time to save her and retreat. Madara, uninterested, summoned the Nine-Tails into Konoha and ordered it to destroy the village.[7]
    Minato defeats Madara.
    Minato soon afterwards arrived to help in the village's defence. Before he could contribute much or even tell anyone what had happened, Madara located him and tried to use his space–time technique to send him away and prevent further interference. Minato was able to use his own teleportation technique to escape, but Madara pursued him. The two began fighting and Minato struggled to successfully strike Madara. After several failed attacks, Minato finally hit Madara with the Rasengan and branded him with a seal for his Flying Thunder God Technique, allowing him to teleport to Madara whenever he wanted. He then used a Contract Seal on Madara to remove the Nine-Tails from his control. Wounded and deprived of his best weapon, Madara fled, stating that the Nine-Tails would be his again someday and that he still had other plans.
    Madara as he was approached by Itachi, wearing a mask with a distinctive flame pattern.
    Eight years later, Madara infiltrated Konoha to try to rekindle the flames of war. He was found by Itachi Uchiha first, who convinced Madara to spare the village in exchange for helping to wipe out the Uchiha clan for deserting him decades earlier. Madara complied, training Itachi and providing assistance. However, Itachi never truly trusted Madara and kept an eye on him for the rest of his life.

    Other Actions Edit

    Madara has been shown or stated to have done a number of things during his life. It is unclear when many of these events took place or, in some cases, what they entailed. His known actions include:

    Tobi Edit

    To keep in Akatsuki's shadow, Madara eventually took on the disguise of Tobi,[4] giving orders to Pain in secret. He wears an orange, swirl-patterned mask that reveals only his right eye. When he met Itachi, he wore a similar mask with black flame-like patterns on it, and he had longer hair than he does now. His hair is cut short from the days of Konoha's founding, and he wears a uniform consisting of a number of bolts and pins, which is usually concealed by his Akatsuki cloak.[10]
    While acting as Tobi, he is happy-go-lucky and goofy, something that annoys most of the other members. Deidara, who believed all the members of Akatsuki should be serious and calm, was not pleased with Tobi's childish personality, and frequently attacked the latter in a comedic fashion when annoyed. Apparently, Madara is very committed to keeping his identity secret, as he has been seen keeping up his goofy appearance even when no-one was around (at least during the anime's filler arc). Kisame and Zetsu, on the other hand, somewhat appreciate Tobi's ability to brighten up a gloomy organisation such as theirs.[11] However, once his identity is revealed to everyone in Akatsuki, Madara largely abandoned his "Tobi" persona, using it only to distract the Eight Man Squad during Sasuke's battle with Itachi. By the Fourth Shinobi World War where his identity is known to the world, Zetsu still calls him Tobi.

    Appearance Edit

    Madara's new outfit after retrieving the Rinnegan.
    In his youth, Madara had long, spiky shoulder-length black hair with a blue tint. Unlike Izuna, Madara did not keep it tied in a ponytail. He also wore the standard Uchiha clan's outfit: a high collared black shirt with the clan's crest on his upper back and blue pants with bandages at the ends, though Madara tends to leave the collar of his shirt open. On his waist, he had a bandage belt that held a sack that presumably holds ninja tools.
    Upon declaring truce with the Senju clan and founding Konohagakure, Madara had let his hair grow even longer, to nearly waist-length. He also wore the village'sforehead protector, and red armour, similar in appearance to those worn by thesamurai and the Senju. Upon defection, he seems to have discarded the forehead protector.
    Over the years, Madara has adopted the new appearance of Tobi: covering his appearance with various masks, cutting his hair shorter and letting it grow out again. However, when the mask is taken off, it can be assumed that his face has grown wrinkled with age, as might be noted from his pronounced under-eye bags and creases. Until his fight with Konan, Madara's left eye had not been seen. Under his mask, he appears to have bandages on his forehead as well as having a Sharingan in his left eye until losing it to Izanagi during his fight with Konan, which was removed and replaced with one of Nagato's Rinnegan eyes. Under his Akatsuki cloak, he wears a black long-sleeve top that also covers his neck and chin, a pair of black gloves, and a pair of dark blueish/black pants along with the standard Akatsuki shoes and white stirrups. On his waist, he wears a thick black belt with armour-like metal plates attached to it. Before revealing his true identity, he wore Sasori's ring on his left thumb.
    After his fight with Konan, Madara changed his appearance once again. His mask changed to a light purple one that covers the entire upper-half of his head with a design that more resembles the Ten-Tails' single eye, consisting of a ripple-pattern with three tomoe around the centre, two of which make out the mask's eye-holes while the third is painted on. He also returned to wearing his Uchiha robes complete with the Uchiha crest on its back, belt sash, gloves and a purple bandanna that tapers off down to his back, as well as wielding his war fan, which has switched from an orange colour to a light purple.

    Personality Edit

    Madara's true personality is considerably calmer and much more serious than "Tobi", but he still has a habit of joking around and disrespecting those around him. Despite his current limitations in battle, he is extremely arrogant, insulting even the strongest ninja and treating Akatsuki members as mere tools rather than comrades. During his duel with Konan, he looked down on her abilities as a ninja and showed some degree of contempt for her, until she destroyed his right arm and caused considerable injury to his face and eyes. While speaking derogatorily about Nagato, he still recognised his power as the strongest in Akatsuki and for possessing theRinnegan. There are only a handful of exceptions that he admires, the most prominent being Hashirama Senju, whom he also despised the most. Despite his arrogance, he is not above giving praise to his enemies, likeKakashi for his speed or Minato for being able to wound him. However, he is fast to return to his egotistical persona, as he claimed to Konan that it was he who truly won the battle against Hashirama Senju, by "looking at the future".
    Madara has shown great ability in manipulating others to do his work for him. Minato believed that he was using Nagato's ideology against him in order to control him. He was able to turn Kisame into one of his most loyal followers under the promise that he would release him from his pain by creating a "world without lies". He similarly befriended Sasuke in order to get him to join Akatsuki by telling him about Itachi's past even though he has an apparent interest in Sasuke and his abilities. Madara has admitted that he took a gamble, as Sasuke may have chosen to follow Itachi's wish and returned to Konoha instead. He appears to have a somewhat twisted outlook with respect to this, often avoiding responsibility by claiming that people acted voluntarily, though in reallity they were coerced or manipulated by him.
    Madara has set his goals in getting Sasuke on his side to serve Akatsuki's goals. As such, he was pleased that when Itachi died, no one would be able to prevent him from telling Sasuke the truth of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Madara expressed disappointment when Sasuke failed to retrieve the real Killer B, and was worried that he may not be easy to control. He even threatened to kill Sasuke and his entire team if they ever dare betray him and Akatsuki. However, whenever Sasuke enters deeper into the darkness of revenge, Madara shows delight, the most prominent being when Sasuke's hatred fully develops Susanoo, and when he sacrificed Karin to pierce Danzō's heart. Despite this, Madara claims to A and Kabuto Yakushi that he is willing to hand Sasuke over to them, when the situation is right.
    Madara possesses an extreme hatred towards the Senju clan, especially Hashirama Senju, and the Senju-led Konohagakure, as he is a descendant of the elder brother who was passed over being the successor of the Sage of the Six Paths. This hatred was compounded when the village chose Hashirama Senju to be Hokage over him. Madara admired Hashirama the most for his power, but still hated him. This hatred led Madara to a life dedicated to revenge. Madara believes that all Uchiha are destined to walk the same path of revenge against the Senju and Konohagakure, and that Naruto, who has inherited the Senju's Will of Fire, is fated to battle Sasuke, who has inherited the Uchiha's hatred, even if Madara himself must force them to do so. Madara also seems to admire the Sage of the Six Paths, or at least just his power as he has gone to extreme lengths to obtain the Rinnegan, theTen-Tails, and the powers of the Senju clan producing Izanagi, and has been planning decades in advance to achieve these goals.
    Despite his calm demeanour and intelligence, Madara has shown a habit of taking very risky gambles to advance his plans, such as revealing Itachi's wishes and his own involvement in the Uchiha clan massacre to Sasuke, sending him to fight against the five Kage, involving himself with the equally dangerous Kabuto (although in this case Kabuto blackmailed Madara into having no alternative) and even attempting to complete his Eye of the Moon Plan despite not having the full chakra of the Eight and Nine-Tails.
    Madara seems to enjoy sitting down and taking his time with things, especially when telling stories, just like he told Itachi's story to Sasuke and his Eye of the Moon Plan to the Kage and the samurai.
    Since the start of his battle with Konan, Madara has become noticeably more aggressive and sadistic. After retrieving the Rinnegan, he went so far as to use  as a sacrifice for Summoning: Impure World Resurrection to revive Torune to test out Kabuto's abilities, as well as threatening to kill Kabuto, should he betray him, despite Kabuto previously being the one with the upper hand through blackmail.

    Abilities Edit

    Madara is considered to be one of the most gifted ninja in history. He has been noted to have been born with particularly powerful chakra which the Nine-Tails claimed to be even more sinister than its own. Said to be one of the most powerful shinobi ever produced by the Uchiha clan, Madara possesses both formidable battle prowess and vast experience due to his advanced age. However, Madara has admitted that he is not as powerful as he was before his defeat by Hashirama Senju. The Nine-Tails' sealing into various jinchūriki also deprives him of a powerful weapon.
    While rarely shown in battle, Madara has proven skilled in a variety of areas. As Tobi, his only apparent claim to fame was his speed. He is physically strong enough to stop a slash from Suigetsu's Kubikiribōchō with a single arm without getting hurt,[12] hold Konan in mid-air by the throat with one hand,[13] and break Torune's neck with a single move. He also possesses an immense level of endurance as he was able to quickly recover after being hit by Minato's Rasengan. His chakra is still high enough to allow him to summon the powerful Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. His intimate knowledge of the ninja world allows him to recognise a technique and effectively counter it. Madara also has knowledge of fūinjutsu used to create jinchūriki, including when they're most vulnerable and how to extract a tailed beast. He has excellent tracking abilities, being able to find others with ease.
    Madara has displayed knowledge and ability in the surgical field. In particular, Madara was able to remove and preserve Itachi's eyes after his death and later successfully transplant them to Sasuke as well as somehow implanting the Rinnegan into his own left eye after losing his Sharingan.
    Throughout the series Madara has lost several limbs.[14][15] The loss does not seem to cause him any pain however, and a white substance is shown flowing from the wounds instead of blood. It was later shown that he is able to recreate his limbs through an unknown method.[16] Overall, due to being imbued with the First Hokage's cells, Madara has managed to extend his life to the point where it is believed by others that he may have become immortal.[17]

    Space–Time Ninjutsu Edit

    Madara using his Space–Time Ninjutsu.
    Madara is almost completely impervious to damage. When struck, attacks pass right through him, though he sometimes pretends to be hurt or cry out in pain to toy with his opponents.[18] It was speculated by Kakashi that he uses a space–time ninjutsu to instantly send himself or even parts of his body to different locations or some sort of void and then instantly bring them back. The only time Madara's solidity can be confirmed is when he interacts with others, leaving him susceptible to counter-attack when he does so. In his battle withKonan it was revealed that he can only make himself continuously intangible for about five minutes.
    Madara's pocket dimension.
    Madara also shows the ability to travel long distances within relatively short timespans. While he is usually seen using this ability on himself, avoiding attacks rather than relying on his imperviousness, he can teleport anyone. When he teleports Karin and Sasuke, he sends them to what is a separate dimension. They are forced to stay there until he chooses to release them. The chakra signatures of those that have been teleported completely vanishes. His right eye appears to be the basis for this transportation. It was shown that his body is tangible when he absorbs people, making it possible to attack him, as seen when Konan and Torune managed to injure him when he tried to absorb them. Konan also states that he must solidify before he can absorb himself and that it takes longer to absorb himself than it does someone or something else.[19]

    Dōjutsu Edit

    Sharingan Edit

    Madara had mastered his Sharingan at a young age, and received praise for this. Like Itachi, he seems to be able to keep his Sharingan activate at all times. With his Sharingan, Madara was able to apply a powerful genjutsu that allowed him to completely control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura,[8] as well as forcing Konan into revealing the whereabouts of the Rinnegan.[20]
    Being of the Uchiha clan and possessing Hashirama Senju's DNA, Madara is able to use Izanagi: a technique his clan deemed a kinjutsu since the user's Sharingan is stricken with blindness and sealed away forever. His usage of the technique during his battle against Konan led to the sealing of his left eye.[21]

    Mangekyō Sharingan Edit

    Madara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
    Madara was the first of the Uchiha to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan. He and his brother Izuna, who awoke his own soon after Madara did, used this new profound power to take over the Uchiha clan. After going blind because of the use of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Madara implanted Izuna's eyes into his own body, which then awakened a new "Eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan, a combination of his own and Izuna's Mangekyō Sharingan. With it, he never had to fear the risk of losing his eyesight again. Madara also possesses high knowledge about the Mangekyō Sharingan and its various techniques. While he has not been seen using any of these techniques, his understanding gives him a great advantage against other users, such as Kakashi whose Kamui would have had no effect on him and Itachi's Amaterasu that he was somehow able to extinguish.
    Madara had used his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to fully control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. First, he focuses on the Nine-Tails' eyes, and the Sharingan will appear over them, and then the Sharingan's tomoe disappears as the pupil enlarges.[22] After that, he can then use the Summoning Technique to transport the Nine-Tails to anywhere he wants it.[7] However, during the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikazewas able to use a Contract Seal to remove his control over the Nine-Tails.[23] Itachi also seems to suggest that Madara gained a new unknown technique when he acquired the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

    Rinnegan Edit

    After he took Nagato's body, Madara removed his Rinnegan and implanted it into his left eye, replacing the Sharingan lost due to the usage of Izanagi.[24] As wielder of the Rinnegan, Madara can potentially master all sixnature transformations. He can possibly use all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain, since they are all Rinnegan abilities. With the Rinnegan implanted, he can also summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. He has now created his own Six Paths of Pain, made from the revived jinchūriki, with them having both the Sharingan and the Rinnegan as he does.

    Equipment Edit

    Madara using his chains.
    Madara has been shown with a diverse range of weapons over the years. He carried a war fan with him for most of his life up until his battle with Hashirama and had only recently begun to use it again, after readying his army for theFourth Shinobi World War. In addition to the war fan, he had a kama with him when fighting Hashirama.[25]
    He is also seen wielding various numbers of swords at different times throughout the majority of his life, since his days on the battlefield and at least up to the point when he made contact with Itachi.[26] During his fight with Minato, he used a long chain attached to braces on his wrist, which together resembled shackles. He used this in conjunction with his ability to become intangible, firstly allowing the adversary to harmlessly pass through his body, before solidifying once again as they emerged from the other side, only to restrain them in the trailing chain.[27]

    Intelligence Edit

    As the leader and mastermind of the Akatsuki, Madara is a master strategist and tactician. He is an observant and sharp thinker, capable of reading through several forms of deception. Even when on rare ocasions were Madara is caught off-guard he is capable of creating counter-strategies while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. He has shown the ability to create complex, long-term plans centred around his goal of the Eye of the Moon Plan. He is also shown to be a flexible tactician, using alternate means to attain a goal when the original plan failed. During the Fourth Shinobi World War Madara was confident in his original strategy (which did not include Kabuto's contribution) of fighting the Allied Shinobi Forces by making use of the unique abilities of hisWhite Zetsu Army.
    He is also shown as a master manipulator. For years he was able to command the Akatsuki from the shadows and later assume the guise of Tobi, a goofy and apparently harmless man in order to better observe his enemies. He is able to convince characters into working for him in direct or indirect ways such as Kisame, Nagato and Sasuke.
    Due to his advanced age Madara possess an immense and close knowledge of the workings of the ninja world which allows him to almost immediately identify most forms of ninjutsu and counter them if necessary, as well as assess an opponent's strength's (Kakashi for his speed, Shikamaru for his intelligence, etc). He also has great knowledge of the history and abilities of the Sage of the Six Paths.

    Part II Edit

    Kazekage Rescue Arc Edit

    After the death of Sasori, Madara (as Tobi) and Zetsu collect Sasori's ring. Tobi expressed interest in joining Akatsuki, believing that finding the ring would grant him membership. They then found Deidara's arm and the ring it wore, believing Deidara to be dead too. When Deidara appeared and demanded that Tobi give him his arm back, Tobi refused, prompting Deidara to comically try to choke him to death with his legs.

    Three-Tails Arc Edit

    Tobi and Deidara's début as a team.
    Tobi was accepted into Akatsuki as Sasori's replacement and Deidara's new partner. He was assigned to capture the Three-Tails, and Deidara accompanied him. In the anime, during their search, they stopped to get a bite to eat at a dango shop. Deidara anxiously waits for Tobi to remove his mask so that he could see what he looked like underneath, but Tobi turned away, hiding his face. When they finish eating they split up. Tobi eventually found the lake and saw Team Three using the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier. He concluded that the technique was to seal the Three-Tails, and went after Deidara to inform him of his discovery. He returns with Deidara and watches as he kills two ANBU.
    When they locate the Three-Tails, Tobi tried to convince Deidara to fight it in his place. The beast began chasing him, and Deidara used one of his bombs on it while it was distracted. The rest of the battle went unseen. Later on, Tobi started talking about how his technique was flawless, and now he understood why he had been assigned to the mission. Deidara retorted that he wouldn't have got far without his clay. Tobi later fell asleep on top the Three-Tails after making another cheeky comment, much to the anger of Deidara, who "woke him up" by detonating a clay bomb next to him.

    Itachi Pursuit Arc Edit

    Akatsuki later receives news that Sasuke Uchiha had defeated Orochimaru. Deidara, angry that he had not got to kill Orochimaru, brought Tobi with him to kill Sasuke instead. When they track him down, Tobi greets Sasuke as a distraction while Deidara attacks with his bombs. Sasuke survives the blast and proceeds to run his sword straight through Tobi, apparently disemboweling him. Tobi gets up immediately after collapsing, complaining about the speed of the attack. Tobi provides support to Deidara, but Sasuke keeps the advantage for the battle's duration. Deidara ultimately resorts to using C0 in an effort to kill Sasuke at the loss of his own life. Zetsu reported to the remaining members of Akatsuki that Tobi had been killed too, prompting Pain to remark that he was easily replaceable.
    Tobi reveals himself as Madara Uchiha.
    Pain and Konan meet with Tobi (now Madara) in Amegakure. Madara remarks that Sasuke is developing nicely. Noting that Itachi will die soon, Madara instructed Pain to capture Naruto Uzumaki, the host of the Nine-Tails. He later appeared to distract the 8-Man Squad as Tobi while Sasuke fought with Itachi. The Konoha ninja had no success in striking him with their attacks, so Shino Aburame volunteered to fight Madara one-on-one. With his bugs, Shino was able to box-in and catch Madara, but Madara was able to escape from this as well. Zetsu then arrived to inform him that Sasuke had killed Itachi. Madara pointed out that he had known that this would be the outcome, and went to see Sasuke. He reaches Sasuke before the Konoha-nin can and takes him away.

    Madara tended to Sasuke's wounds and, when he woke up, offered to tell him about Itachi. Madara tried to befriend Sasuke by removing his mask and revealing his Sharingan, something that triggered Itachi's Amaterasu in Sasuke's left eye against Madara. Madara retreats into the darkness while he puts out the flames, returning with his mask back on to muse about how Itachi never ceased to amaze him.[28] After Sasuke asked what he was talking about, Madara revealed that Itachi had most likely set it up so that the sight of his Sharingan would trigger the Amaterasu he had sealed within Sasuke. After Sasuke complained that he was making no sense, Madara revealed that it was to protect him, and, when Sasuke still didn't believe him, Madara introduced himself as the man who had helped Itachi assassinate the Uchiha clan. He told Sasuke about the Uchiha clan's history, Itachi's secret life, and the lengths he had gone to keep Sasuke and Konoha out of harm's way, as well as denying any involvement in the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha. Sasuke, regretting that he had killed Itachi now that he knew the truth, resolved to destroy Konoha for forcing Itachi into the life he had lived.

    Invasion of Pain Arc Edit

    Madara convinced Sasuke and the other members of Taka to start working with Akatsuki, the two groups having Konoha's destruction as a mutual goal. Before they could do that, however, he stated that Akatsuki needed the two remaining tailed beasts. Since Pain was still working on capturing Naruto, Madara sent Taka to capture theEight-Tails. After Taka left, Madara spoke with Zetsu, discussing Akatsuki's actions up to that point. He went on to say that, although they had lost five talented ninja in Akatsuki, all of their efforts had brought him closer to "making Sasuke his".
    After Taka captured the Eight-Tails' jinchūrikiKiller B, Sasuke gave it to Madara for Akatsuki to seal. During the extraction process, it was revealed to be a fake. Madara remains silent while Kisame - recently made aware of Tobi's identity as the previous Mizukage - commented that Sasuke had been fooled in his attempt to capture the jinchūriki.[29]

    Five Kage Summit Arc Edit

    Zetsu informed Madara of Nagato's failure to capture Naruto, his betrayal of Akatsuki, and his sacrificing himself to revive the Konoha villagers he killed. Irritated by the constant setbacks as well as Nagato's wasting the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, Madara sent Kisame to capture Killer B. Then he went to confront Sasuke, who was taking Taka to Konoha. Madara told them they are wasting their time, Nagato having already destroyed the village, but convinces Sasuke to go to the Kage Summit to kill Danzō, the new Hokage and a conspirator in the Uchiha's assassination. Madara instructs Zetsu to lead Taka to the Land of Iron, but when they arrive he has Zetsu reveal their presence to the Kage.
    Madara wants to talk to Naruto.
    While Sasuke fought the Kage, Madara met with Naruto, who was also in the Land of Iron. He tried to figure out how Naruto was able to cause Nagato to have a change of heart, but was caught by Kakashi Hatake and Yamato. Rather than fight, Madara told them about the Sage of the Six Paths, the truth of the Uchiha clan, and Sasuke's descent into darkness because of it. They doubt the validity of what he told them, but he persevered, saying that Naruto and Sasuke are destined to fight some day before disappearing.
    As Sasuke was about to be killed by the Kage, Madara rescued him. He sends Sasuke away, sending Karin with him to heal his injuries. Madara voiced his disappointment that Sasuke was not more of a match for the Kage, having hoped to take them hostage to facilitate with his plans. He was nevertheless happy by the development of Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan in awakening Susanoo. He then explained his Eye of the Moon Plan to those in attendance, concluding by asking for their support by giving him Killer B and Naruto. They refused, so he declared the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War before disappearing.
    Madara fighting Fū and Torune.
    Madara intercepted Danzō while he was fleeing the Summit. Danzō has his bodyguards,  and Torune, fight Madara while he prepared himself. Although forced to remove his arm during the battle because of Torune's nano-sized, venomous insects, Madara was easily able to dispose of the two. Madara then teleported Sasuke and Karin to their location, showing Sasuke that he keeps his word by giving him Danzō. Madara observed the battle and was glad when Sasuke is finally able to fully develop Susanoo. When Sasuke emerges victorious, Madara approaches the dying Danzō to take Shisui's eye, which was implanted in Danzō's right eye-socket. Danzō activated the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique in an attempt to take Madara and Sasuke with him, but they are able to get out of range in time. He collects Danzō's body and suggests that Sasuke take some time to rest.
    At his lab, Madara discovers that Danzō destroyed Shisui's Sharingan. Cursing him, Madara gets a new arm and makes plans to retrieve Nagato's Rinnegan to prepare for war. Before he can leave, Zetsu meets with him and tells him that Sasuke is in trouble. He returns to Sasuke and, finding him with Naruto and the rest of Team 7, again advises that Sasuke come with him to rest, noting that they can capture some other time. Before they leave Kakashi tries to attack Madara with Kamui, but Madara informs him it won't work. They return to the Mountains' Graveyard where Sasuke declares that he wants Itachi's eyes, his own eyes succumbing to blindness after his repeated battles. Once completing the procedure he tells Sasuke to rest.[30]

    Confining the Jinchūriki Arc Edit

    Kabuto confronts Madara.
    Madara is soon afterwards confronted by Kabuto. Remembering that Kabuto was once an Akatsuki spy, Madara tries to kill him for his traitorous actions. Kabuto responds by using the Summoning: Impure World Resurrection to revive five deceased members of Akatsuki, an incentive for Madara to accept his help in the approaching Fourth Shinobi World War.[31]
    Madara being blackmailed by Kabuto.
    In return, Kabuto asks that he be given Sasuke to continue Orochimaru's research in developing techniques. Madara asks what would happen if he didn't accept, to which Kabuto responds by summoning a sixth coffin. Seeing the coffin's contents (an act that disturbed him), Madara calls Kabuto a lunatic and wonders how he managed to come by it. Amused at how far Kabuto had come, Madara accepted the forced alliance, though he forces Kabuto to accept a few conditions. First being that Sasuke will not be turned over until after the war. And secondly, Kabuto will be watched at all times while at the hideout. Though Kabuto's summons were returned, Madara was still uneasy about the sixth casket, while leading Kabuto into his hideout so he can assess his battle strength and reformulate his war plans.[32]
    Madara later infiltrates Amegakure and is immediately confronted by Konan. He asks her where to find Nagato's corpse so that he can take his Rinnegan. He tries to buy back her cooperation by informing her of his involvement in Yahiko's creation of Akatsuki and Nagato's receiving the Rinnegan, but she doesn't believe him. Konan turns to paper and engulfs Madara. He believes that she is trying to catch him when he materializes, but, however, Konan had instead mixed in exploding tags with her paper. Madara is able to warp the explosion away - saving both of their lives - at the cost of his right arm and having the upper part of his mask broken.
    Madara's broken mask revealing both his Sharingan.
    Madara asks why Konan and Nagato would place their faith in Naruto. She replies that Naruto is the light that will defeat the darkness that is Madara. Konan then splits the lake beneath Amegakure, revealing six hundred billion explosives. She detonates them all over a period of ten minutes, longer than the five-minute period that Madara can remain intangible for. He sacrifices his left Sharingan to use Izanagi and survive the attack (removing the upper left side of his mask to do so). Konan, believing he is dead, lets her guard down, allowing Madara to stab her from behind with a pipe. Konan frees herself and prepares to attack again. Before she does so, the endless rain over Ame stops, surprising Konan and Madara. Konan proclaims that Naruto is "a support holding the bridge that leads them to peace". Taking up the mantle of "darkness" that crushes the light, Madara grabs her by the throat and places her under a genjutsu to force her to reveal Nagato's location. He adds that she will die when the illusion ends.[33]
    When Madara finds Nagato's body, he sees that he is smiling even in death, which Madara interpreted as his continued betrayal. After closing Nagato's eyes, Madara teleports the body away body to the pocket dimension. Madara returns to his hideout and replaces his blinded Sharingan with one of Nagato's Rinnegan, and gets a new arm, mask, and outfit. Kabuto complemented him on his efforts to gain new eyes, but Madara rebuffed the statement, claiming that they were his to begin with. Upon Zetsu informing him of the intel they had received from Kisame on the current location of the jinchūriki, Madara decides to go capture them. However, Kabuto offers to go instead if he is allowed to see the White Zetsu Army, which he offers to make stronger in exchange for one of the clones to experiment on. Madara complies. Much to Madara's displeasure, Kabuto fails in capturing either Naruto or B, but does bring back Yamato. Madara contemplated using the Rinnegan's Human Path to extract intel from Yamato, but the cost would be Yamato's life. However, Kabuto convinces him that with a genjutsu and the proper drug, they can extract what they need. Madara has his Zetsu Army strengthened by Kabuto using Yamato.

    Shinobi World War Arc Edit

    Kabuto demonstrates the technique to Madara.
    When preparations are complete the Zetsu Army and many of Kabuto's revived ninja mobilise for war. In the confusion, Kabuto also captures Anko Mitarashi. Madara suspects that Kabuto led her to their hideout and believes Kabuto plans to have him and the Allied Shinobi Forces destroy each other, but is confident that he is in control of the situation. Madara nevertheless demands that Kabuto kill Anko. Kabuto refuses on the grounds that he can use Anko to make the Summoning: Impure World Resurrection stronger, something that is in Madara's best interests. Madara orders Kabuto to demonstrate the technique and tell him how to defeat it. To that end he brings out  andTorune, who have been kept under genjutsu since they were captured. He breaks Torune's neck and tells Kabuto to use Fū as a sacrifice to resurrect him. Kabuto does what is asked of him and, once Madara is satisfied, leaves. Once he is gone Madara verifies with black Zetsu that some white Zetsu's spores have been placed on Kabuto.
    White Zetsu later informs Madara that Naruto and B are headed to the battlefield. Deciding to finally join the fray, Madara goes to the location of the First Division where he summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. While the Statue decimates the Division, Madara seeks out the Benihisago and the Kohaku no Jōhei, which contain theGold and Silver BrothersDarui and Shikamaru conclude he plans to make use of the brothers' Nine-Tails chakra and try to stop him. He compliments them on guessing his intentions and has the Statue attack them while he escapes with the two items. Elsewhere, he voices his belief that his Eye of the Moon Plan will be accomplished the next day.
    Madara's Six Paths of Pain.
    As day breaks, Madara stands behind his own Six Paths of Pain which are comprised of the deceased jinchūriki each having a Sharingan in their right eye socket and a Rinnegan in the left. After contemplating Kisame's intel about Naruto's abillity to sense negative emotions and how he would most surely go after the White Zetsu Army, he merely noted that everything was going as planned and sets out together with his Six Paths.
