Madara Uchiha (, Uchiha Madara) was a legendary ninja who led the Uchiha
clan prior to and after the formation of Konohagakure. After allying with his rival, Hashirama
Senju, he also helped in the founding of Konohagakure.

Background Edit
Madara in his youth.
Before the era of ninja villages, Madara, along with his younger brother, Izuna, were considered
the most gifted members of the Uchiha clan. Even by his clan's standards, Madara's chakra was
especially strong.
[3]
He grew up constantly competing and training with Izuna and in their efforts
to surpass each other, each gained their own Mangeky Sharingan. With the power of the
Mangeky the two brothers took control of the clan, with Madara 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 Mangeky Sharingan, leaving
him blind. In order to regain his sight he took Izuna's eyes for himself, granting him an "eternal"
Mangeky Sharingan with which he led the Uchiha clan to prosperity. While Itachi Uchiha
would later go on to state that Madara took Izuna's eyes without his consent, Tobi would state
that Izuna willingly gave up his eyes to Madara for the good of his brother and clan. It is
unknown which is true.
Over the years, the Uchiha had
constantly fought with the equally
powerful Senju clan and as such, Madara
had an undying rivalry with Hashirama
Senju, the leader of the Senju clan. To
bring an end to the constant fighting,
Hashirama 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. Some time
later, the villagers of Konoha selected Hashirama as the village's first Hokage much to Madara's
dismay. Madara feared that Hashirama would oppress the Uchiha, and tried to rally support for
challenging his leadership. Rather than help him, the Uchiha turned their backs on him, believing
he only desired to rekindle the flames of war. During the time he was a shinobi of

Konohagakure is formed.

Konohagakure, Madara approached M and noki where he informed them that despite the
alliance that they had made with Konoha, his village was to remain the dominant power and
from that point on, they would obey Konoha.
[4]

Madara with the Nine-Tails confronting Hashirama.
Soon after losing out on becoming Hokage and being abandoned by his clan, Madara left the
village, and sought out Kurama. He later returned in order to challenge Hashirama in battle. They
fought at the site that would someday be called the Valley of the End, where Madara was beaten,
despite having Kurama at his side. Control of Kurama was ultimately taken from him and
Madara was believed to have died.
[5]
Despite losing the battle he was able to survive and gain a
part of Hashirama's DNA with which he was able to use the Wood Release. Shortly before his
death Madara awakened his own Rinnegan and is also known to have fought with and defeated
noki and his master shortly after the founding of Konoha.
Decades later, a masked-individual known as Tobi began operating under Madara's name. Tobi
is intimately familiar with Madara's history, sharing his animosity towards Konoha and the Senju
and even going so far as to claim that Izuna willingly gave up his eyes. It is, therefore, difficult to
say which actions were those of Tobi and which were those of the real Madara. At the very least,
Madara is aware of Tobi's existence. This masked man is known to have manipulated the Fourth
Mizukage,
[6]
been the cause behind the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, participated in the Uchiha
clan massacre, and taken a hand in creating and leading Akatsuki.
[7]
While many characters are
surprised that "Madara Uchiha" could still be around so many years after his supposed death,
they accept Tobi's word on the grounds that only Madara would be capable of such actions
because of his strength.
While Madara's reincarnation during the Fourth Great Shinobi World War lends credibility to the
belief that he is actually dead, it has been revealed that he was not killed during his fight with
Hashirama at the Valley of the End.
[8]
When revived, he assumes Nagato was responsible for
it.
[9]

Personality Edit
Madara was a very confident and prideful man, witnessed in his belittlement of noki both after
his reincarnation and in the past,
[4]
and in his berating of Mei Terum's technique
[10]
. Conversely,
he isn't above praising the abilities of others as he openly called both Mei and A's abilities an
impressive offence, and Gaara and noki's manoeuvre an impressive defence,
[11]
also
commending them for being able to stop his first meteorite, as well as commending Naruto for
countering his Wood Release attack. However he has also been shown to be spiteful, degrading
Tsunade while comparing her to her grandfather, after saying he would kill her because she's a
Senju. Madara is, however, an honest individual and is willing to admit when he is wrong as
after Tsunade tag-teamed him with A, he admitted she was not weak at all. Madara is also
willing to admit when someone is stronger than he is as he openly admitted that Hashirama could
stop him during his battle with the five Kage. Madara, however, isn't above reprimanding others
for recklessness or stupidity as he criticised Tsunade for attacking him without thinking of what
the other Kage would do for treatment if she was killed and criticised the five Kage as a group
for worrying too much about the flowers in his technique and not watching their backs. He also
has a habit of referring to fighting as 'dancing'.
[12]
Madara has a dark sense of humour, as shown
when he surrounded each of the five Kage with wood clones and asked if they preferred the
clones to use Susanoo or not as well as when he referred to incinerating his forest as creating
coal after knocking the five Kage into it. Madara also believes power is something tangible that
can be passed down through generations and that the will of a dead person cannot be inherited, as
it isn't tangible. Madara, in his own way, has shown some level of loyalty to Konohagakure as he
tried went behind the village's back to force Iwagakure into serving Konoha.
[4]

As an Uchiha, Madara possesses an innate hatred for the Senju clan,
[13]
in what is known as the
Curse of Hatred, which dates back to the early days of the ninja world. This curse led him to
oppose the truce fearing that his clan would be oppressed by them, and when Hashirama was
selected to be Hokage instead of Madara, he defected from Konoha and attempted to attack the
village. His animosity towards Hashirama was particularly strong, going as far as to forbid noki
from mentioning that name in front of him ever again. Nevertheless Madara possesses a high
level of respect and admiration for Hashirama as well as the Senju name as seen during the
Fourth Shinobi World War where he would praise and curse Hashirama or other members of the
clan in the same breath.
[14]
Conversely, he also lamented that he would have taught Hashirama
how to resurrect himself if he had known how much weaker the modern day shinobi would
be.
[15]
Madara was very competitive with his younger brother, Izuna, but Tobi also implies that
Madara and Izuna were close as brothers.
Seemingly treacherous by nature, as after the alliance with Iwagakure ended, he immediately
betrayed M and noki, expecting them to follow Konohagakure's lead from then on, and the
Uchiha clan believed Madara stole Izuna's eyes by force. He is also a battle-loving individual,
commenting that he had not enjoyed this view in a long time while surveying the battlefield
during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Relating to this, Madara enjoys a challenging fight and
said that anything less than the five Kage against him would be inadequate. Madara is also very
bold when it comes to battle, shown in his ready assault of an entire platoon of shinobi upon
being attacked, despite being severely outnumbered.
[16]
Madara is also something of a show off,
as shown in his use of extremely powerful techniques in rapid succession, all the while,
expressing satisfaction to having done it. He also purposely let himself get hit by noki's attack
in order to show Hashirama's face on his chest to lower the morale of the Kage. Due to the times
he lived in, Madara believes it is natural for shinobi to spend their entire lives in battle. He also
thinks that the world can't change from what it was in the past and believes that as such, mankind
would be better served sleeping peacefully in an Infinite Tsukuyomi.
[17]

Madara has been described as being hostile and aggressive by nature as well as being very
ambitious, the latter of which was seen during his rise to the position of clan leader as well as his
desire to make his clan superior out of what Tobi claimed was Madara's great love for them.
Madara had a sense of honour as, prior to their betrayal of him, he wanted to protect the Uchiha
clan from the possibility of oppression by the Senju after Hashirama was chosen as Hokage
instead of him. Madara also views the tailed beasts as nothing more than masses of energy and
tools too lacking in intelligence to think for themselves and as such, need to be "guided" by the
Uchiha to learn their purpose and believes that they are but slaves to those with blessed eyes.
[18]

Despite his aggressiveness, Madara has displayed restraint, withholding his true power when he
doesn't need it, as he stated to the Third Tsuchikage that the reason that he went so easy on him
when they fought in the past was because he didn't think an adult should fight seriously against a
child.
Appearance Edit
Madara as he appeared during Konoha's founding.
Madara was a tall, fair-skinned man with spiky, black hair that had a slight, blue tint to it. In his
younger days, his hair was shoulder-length and he wore the standard Uchiha clan outfit: a high
collared black shirt with the clan's crest on its back, which Madara tended to leave slightly open,
and blue pants with bandages around his shins. Around his waist, he had a sash that held a sack,
presumably containing his ninja tools.
[19]
During later years, his hair grew out more and his sash
was replaced by a belt, adorned with pouches and various weapons. He also wore another sash
strapped across his shoulders which he used to hold his numerous swords.
[20]

By adulthood, his hair had grown to waist-length with shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of
his face, the left side hanging partially over his left eye. Although still relatively young, more
prominent creases had developed under each of his eyes. In most cases, his attire took the form
of the standard shinobi dress of his era, consisting of bright red traditional armour similar to
that of samurai worn over a simple black suit. This armour was constructed from numerous
metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body, in particular: chest, waist,
shoulders and thighs. Unusually, his chest plate left his back entirely exposed, presumably so as
to better display his clan's crest. This clothing was accompanied by boots and gloves, as well as
his village's forehead protector after the truce with the Senju and founding of Konohagakure, but
this was discarded upon his defection. During battle, he often carried an orange-coloured war fan
on his back that had a mitsudomoe pattern, coloured bright red, in both of the top corners.
After implanting Hashirama's DNA into his body and Kabuto Yakushi's further experimentation,
a replica of Hashirama's face appeared on the left side of Madara's chest.
[21]

Abilities Edit
Madara is considered by many notable individuals to be one of the most gifted shinobi in history
and the most powerful that has ever been produced within the Uchiha clan. The fact that he
fought and survived every battle he ever fought with Hashirama Senju, who was recognised as
the strongest ninja in the world in his time, also indicates that Madara was also one of the
strongest ninja of his time. He was able to easily defeat both noki and M at once despite their
possession of the Dust Release. Madara is one of the only known shinobi in history capable of
summoning a tailed beast the other being Tobi.
[22]
However, its sealing inside jinchriki has
rendered him unable to summon his signature summon.
[23]
Overall, Madara's fame and status was
so great that his name alone was enough to strike fear, and Tobi was able to use that to his
advantage to instigate a world war.
[24]
After activating his Rinnegan and using it in conjunction
with his Susanoo, Madara's abilities led Gaara to wonder if he had the power of a god as he sent
a meteorite hurtling towards them.
[25]
Due to the manner of his revival and the enhancements
done by Kabuto, Madara's already colossal skills as a ninja were improved, to the point were he
was able to overpower the five Kage multiple times by himself without even using the full extent
of his powers and leave then in a state of awe and fear when he displayed his full power - his
Perfect Susanoo. Tsunade was so baffled by his extraordinary prowess as a ninja that she
questioned how it was possible that her grandfather had defeated Madara in the past when they,
the five Kage in unison, couldn't do so in the present.
Madara was noted to have been born with an extremely powerful chakra, even by the Uchiha
standards, which Kurama claimed to be far more sinister than that of its own. Quantity-wise,
Madara has shown to have massive amounts (which later on were likely further enhanced by
Hashirama's cells),
[3]
able to use several high-level, chakra-taxing techniques in quick
succession.
Physical Prowers Edit
Madara tearing through the Fourth Division.
Madara is an adept taijutsu user and has shown remarkable strength, speed, and reflexes. With
just one roundhouse kick, he was able to repel several shinobi. Madara was also able to easily
dodge Gaara's high-speed sand attacks, Mei's close range Lava Release attack, and even guard
himself against A's punch while the latter was clad in his Lightning Release Armour.
[26]

Madara is also a highly proficient kenjutsu user, aptly demonstrated when he effortlessly
disarmed a shinobi of his sword and, after grabbing it, cut down several members of the Fourth
Division, wielding the blade in a reverse grip and moving in a quick spinning motion, similar to
a dance routine. The speed of his kenjutsu was so great, that none of the shinobi he killed with
his sword had any time to react.
Nature Transformation Edit
Madara using Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.
As an Uchiha, Madara is a master of Fire Release techniques, displaying extreme proficiency in
the use of techniques like Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation that required the combination of
numerous Water Release: Water Encampment Walls to extinguish,
[27]
and the Fire Release:
Great Fire Destruction technique with which he incinerated a large portion of the forest he had
created. In the anime, Madara could also use Wind Release through his trademark gunbai to
create powerful gust of wind.
[28]

After his confrontation with Hashirama Senju at the Valley of the End, Madara acquired a
portion of his DNA and integrated it into his own body granting him the ability to use Wood
Release and its component natures: earth and water.
With Wood Release, he has demonstrated the ability to instantly create numerous massive trees
with which to attack his opponents directly,
[29]
and a dense forest of flowering trees, whose
pollen can render a foe unconscious. He is able to merge with and hide within trees.
[30]
Madara
can even create multiple wood clones using the pre-existing vegetation in the immediate vicinity
as a medium.
Djutsu Edit
Sharingan Edit
Madara managed to master his Sharingan by a young age, a feat that he received significant
praise for. Using it, gains access to the djutsu's generic abilities such as seeing chakra,
predicting movements as well as place a victim under paralysing genjutsu with just a single
glance, leading those who had faced him to advise others to not look directly at his eyes, whilst
confronting him.
[31]
He is also able to control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox with his Sharingan.
[32]

He is also able to use these abilities along with others such as his taijutsu and kenjutsu skills in
battle.
Mangeky Sharingan Edit
Madara's Eternal Mangeky Sharingan.
Madara was the first amongst the Uchiha to activate the Mangeky Sharingan. He and his
brother Izuna, who awoke his own soon after, were soon appointed leaders of the clan due to this
power. However, after his eyesight progressively worsened to blindness through its use, Madara
took and implanted Izuna's eyes into his own body, which then awakened a new "Eternal"
Mangeky Sharingan a combination of his own and Izuna's Mangeky. With it, he never had
to fear the risk of losing his eyesight again.
Madara has since used his Eternal Mangeky Sharingan to control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
After his reincarnation, Madara demonstrated the ability to use Susanoo, and is therefore also
able to use Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu as well, though they have yet to be seen. Unseen in others'
variations, Madara's Susanoo demonstrates two entirely different sides that are conjoined along
their respective spines, with each displaying a pair of arms and face that are distinct from the
other and a complete lower half inclusive of feet.
Madara's stabilised final Susanoo destroying a mountain range with
one slash.
His Susanoo's defensive capabilities are high even in its ribcage state, having withstood Naruto
Uzumaki's Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan and A's Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop with no
damage.
[33][34]
It wields undulating blades in the right hand of each side and it appears to be
capable of contributing towards some of Madara's techniques, as it was seen forming hand seals
together with him during battle. Madara is also able to use the Yasaka Magatama technique.
[35]

Madara's Susanoo's final form is an enormous construct with its mouth obscured and a body
similar to its full body form. The outer armour which only remotely resembles the usual tengu-
like armour with the trademark pillbox hat like adornment on the forehead, is split down the
middle from the beak downwards where the normal Susanoo underneath is revealed. Along this
armour which seems much more fluid than the other known Susanoo's are holes at the end. It
also has four plated arms, two of which wield a pair of katana, one pair of arms holding the
scabbards and the other wielding the swords when drawn.
[36]
This Susanoo's power far exceeds
that of any other known Susanoo, being able to overpower and repel all five of the current Kage
and decimate a large portion of the mountain range behind them with a single sword swing.
Unlike with his other Susanoo formations, Madara is seen standing on inside the head of this
Susanoo rather than the chest area.
Rinnegan Edit
Madara's Rinnegan.
Madara stated that he awakened the Rinnegan shortly before his death and possesses the ability
to switch between both it, and his Eternal Mangeky Sharingan at will,
[37]
however, it should be
noted that while using the powers granted by one djutsu he cannot, except in the case of
Susanoo, simultaneously access those granted by the other.
[38]
Like other users, Madara is able to
use the techniques of the Six Paths of Pain, displaying use of the Preta Path, with which he was
able to absorb the chakra from one of Naruto's Rasenshuriken and even a complex kekkei tta
like noki's Dust Release technique.
When these abilities were combined with his Susanoo, he could pull two massive meteorites
towards the battlefield from the atmosphere above.
[39]
Even if the first meteorite was slowed
down and stopped, the second one would strike the first, ensuring their collision.
Equipment Edit
Madara has been shown with a diverse range of weaponry over the years, with him carrying a
war fan for most of his life. In addition to the war fan, he had a kama with him when his final
confrontation against Hashirama took place.
[40]
Madara has wielded various types and numbers
of swords, at different times throughout his life, ever since his days on the battlefield.
[41]

During his lifetime and later his ressurection, Madara donned a unique red-colored armor similar
to that of the samurai and his rival Hashirama, that consisted of metal plates that covered his
shoulders, thighs, chest and waist, though possessed no protective plating whatsoever on
Madara's backside, leaving it completely exposed.
Part II Edit
Confining the Jinchriki Arc Edit
The contents of the sixth coffin.
As Tobi, under the guise of Madara Uchiha, prepared for the war against the Allied Shinobi
Forces, he was approached by Kabuto Yakushi. A former associate of Akatsuki, Kabuto
requested that he be allowed to assist with the war-effort, under the condition that Tobi turn
Sasuke Uchiha over to him following the conflict. He then summoned five previously deceased
Akatsuki members as proof that he could bolster Akatsuki's forces using reincarnated shinobi, as
well as a mysterious sixth coffin, the occupant of which proved sufficient blackmail to force
Tobi's consent. Though initially unseen, the person in the coffin was later revealed to be the real
Madara Uchiha.
Shinobi World War Arc Edit
Madara is noticed by the enemy forces.
Frustrated when a revived Nagato is sealed by the recently freed Itachi Uchiha, Kabuto finds
himself forced to use his trump card but it's only after Naruto Uzumaki takes out several more
revived shinobi, that he has M summon the reincarnated Madara to the field. Forcefully
removing his coffin's lid before voicing his assumption that Nagato had finally used the Outer
Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to bring him back from the dead, M corrects
Madara, explaining that Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation had been used instead.
Somewhat shocked by the manner of his revival, the two confront the Fourth Division. Upon
noticing the forehead protectors of the allied army, Madara asks who is responsible for the
Impure World Reincarnation. However, as M does not know, Kabuto takes full control and,
speaking through him, identifies himself as Tobi's assistant before informing Madara that he had
been restored to an extent beyond even his prime. Finding it rather dreary to be spoken to
through a corpse, Madara questions Kabuto with what he knew of his prime but admitting his
ignorance, Kabuto requests a demonstration.
Madara unleashes his Susanoo.
Given free reign, Madara begins his assault on the spectating Fourth Division, Gaara, noki and
Naruto's shadow clone. Madara uses the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation technique, which
takes the combined efforts of several shinobi to extinguish. Obscured by the resulting steam as
he attacks them directly, he commandeers a sword and proceeds to tear through their ranks. As
Naruto attacks Madara from above while noki raises the ground below him, sending him on a
collision course, Madara activates his Eternal Mangeky Sharingan and uses Susanoo to shield
himself from harm. After Gaara uses lightened sand to separate Madara from his protection and
to pull him into the path of an oncoming Rasenshuriken, he activates his Rinnegan and uses the
Preta Path's ability to absorb the attack. When Kabuto tries to take credit for the improvements to
Madara's powers, Madara remarks that he shouldn't get the wrong idea, as they weren't his
creation. Together with Susanoo, he then forms three hand seals and pulls an enormous meteorite
down from the atmosphere, directing it towards the battlefield.
Unconcerned by the prospect of destroying himself and M, aware that they'll both reform
afterwards, Madara recognises noki as he flew towards the meteorite in an attempt to lighten it
and stop its descent. Congratulating his and Gaara's successful efforts, Madara questions noki
as to how he would deal with a second one as another meteorite collides with the first,
overwhelming noki and killing the majority of the Fourth Division. After reforming, Madara
remarks that he hadn't enjoyed a view such as this in a long time, as he stands amidst the rubble
left in the wake of the impact.
Madara using the Wood Release.
After reforming, Kabuto informs Madara that he theorised that he had obtained a portion of
Hashirama Senju during their confrontation, despite losing to him. Madara then proceeds to
check underneath his shirt, after which he complements Kabuto on his preparation, before asking
if he knew of their plan. Notified of Kabuto's uncertainty that the "fake" will act accordingly,
Madara attempts to summon Kurama but is unable to do so as it is still sealed within Naruto.
Learning that Naruto is from the same clan as Mito Uzumaki, he opts to attack using Nativity of
a World of Trees instead of pursuing the real jinchriki, yet this is countered by a Kurama-
empowered Naruto who destroys the opposing forest, to which Madara commends him.
Lamenting that he didn't get the opportunity to explore his abilities further, Madara belittles the
still defiant noki, remarking that it was natural for shinobi to spend their entire life in battle and
as such, mankind would be better served sleeping peacefully under an "Infinite Tsukuyomi"
(, Mugen Tsukuyomi). Charging towards the few remaining survivors alongside M,
they are however repelled by Tsunade and A, who had just been transported to the battlefield.
Looking on in shock, Madara is confronted by all five of the current Kage.
Madara and M face noki and A.
Deeming this an adequate test of his abilities, Madara leapt upwards to avoid Mei Terumi's
attack but was instead intercepted by A, who knocks him into the lava below. Activating his
Susanoo to protect himself, he is plunged even deeper into the molten liquid by A, before being
completely immersed by another torrent of lava. Emerging unharmed whilst sheltered by his
Susanoo, Madara commends A and Mei's respective offensive abilities, before deciding to assess
the Kage's defensive capabilities using Yasaka Magatama. However, when his attack is blocked,
Madara breaks through their dual-layered defence with his Susanoo's blades, only for his vision
to be obscured as the Kage launch another strategy. Unable to react to the quickly approaching
A, thanks to noki's assistance, their combined efforts allow A to punch through Susanoo and hit
Madara.
The result of Madara fusing with Hashirama's cells.
As the battle continues, Madara repels and destroys noki's looming golem using Wood
Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, distracting the Kage. Ambushing them from
behind and knocking them into the forest below with his Susanoo, he sets the trees ablaze, just as
the Kage succumb to the effects of the pollen. However, noki quickly manages to rouse himself
and destroy the surrounding flowers, hitting Madara in the process and exposing a face formed
from Hashirama Senju's tissue, jutting out of the left side of his chest. Hearing Tsunade's
reaction, he questions if she was a descendant of Hashirama, noting his intention to kill her first
if she was. When Mei retorts his remark by saying that it was a basic tactic to eliminate the
medical-nin first, Madara corrects her, stating he would do it simply because of Tsunade's
ancestry and that she couldn't delay their deaths anyway. He then belittles Tsunade further for
being a woman who, despite being Hashirama's descendant, possessed neither Wood Release nor
medical ninjutsu that could compare to those of Hashirama, before declaring that while weak
people were ugly, weak Senju were even more so. Tsunade admits to most of what was said but
rebuffs Madara's opinion that she was weak, claiming that what she had inherited wasn't just
mere strength, but the undying Will of Fire.
Rebuking Tsunade's belief that this would lead to his defeat, by saying power was in fact an
actual thing, Madara then listens to her retort of how the will of the deceased allowed her to
reform the system of medical-nin. Hearing all four rules yet unaware of her technique, he uses
his Susanoo to protect himself from Tsunade's punch but when she easily fractures it, Madara
considers how her strength was superior to A's. When Madara counters, he is instead repelled by
Mei, before his Susanoo is shattered by A and Tsunade. Crashing to the ground, he admits
Tsunade wasn't that weak but reprimands her recklessness, as her death would trouble the others.
Thinking of how he would have taught Hashirama to resurrect himself if he'd knew how weak
shinobi would become, Madara says that all Hashirama left behind was the power he held,
similar to how Izuna left only his eyes and their powers. After Tsunade angrily responds, Madara
states that if anything could be passed down, it was simply hatred. Later struck by a powerful
punch from Tsunade that seemingly allowed him to be bound and sealed, Madara suddenly
impales her from below, just as he emerges from within one of the trees. He then reveals that
they had instead sealed a wood clone, noting that only he could see through Hashirama's use of
the technique in the past due to his ocular powers.
Reflecting on whom to target next, Madara is shocked when Tsunade instead shatters his
Susanoo's sword and then attacks him using the broken blade. With the blade stuck in his
Susanoo's ribcage, he counters and repels Tsunade, before recognising the similarities between
her and Hashirama's techniques. As he questions whether they thought he could be stopped with
his own technique, Madara is attacked from behind by noki, but he absorbs the Dust Release
technique. He then explains that he deliberately let it hit him previously so he could expose
Hashirama's face in the hopes that this would lower their morale, yet he was disappointed to see
that it had the opposite effect. When Tsunade states that while they were outwitted by the wood
clone, it could also be said that he had no other option but to use it, Madara blames it on fighting
five people at once. Denying that he thought of them as cowards for confronting him together in
response to Mei, he asserts that the current odd was the perfect number to have fun and proceeds
to create multiple wood clones, sending five to each Kage. Regurgitating Mei's sentiments,
Madara asks the Kage not to call him a coward given who they were, before asking if they
preferred the clones to use Susanoo or not.
The Susanoo of Madara's clones loom over the Kage.
Observing the Kage being overwhelmed by the clones and their respective Susanoo, Madara
identifies noki and his experience as the biggest threat, after the latter rescued an immobilised
A from certain death. Determined to break noki's will as he rallied the Kage to face him once
more, he was instead forced to flee from the approach of an enormous Dust Release: Detachment
of the Primitive World Technique, as it engulfed and destroyed his clones. Struck by Mei's
attack, which contained both Gaara's sand and A's lightning-natured chakra, Madara's actions
were halted long enough from him to start being sealed. Acknowledging the Kage's might, he
manifested his final Susanoo, freeing himself in the process. With this, Madara declares that
everything including the power of the five Kage was futile against his Susanoo's perfect
form.
Telling them that he was not finished yet, he commands his Susanoo to stabilise, then unsheathed
one of his swords and with a single swing, sends the Kage flying while decimating the mountains
behind them. Telling noki that an adult would never have fought seriously with a child
referring to their last encounter when noki was younger, Madara loomed over the Kage with
his Susanoo declaring that he would utterly destroy them.







Minato Namikaze

Minato Namikaze is Kushina Uzumaki's husband and the father of Naruto. He is the Fourth Hokage of
Konohakagure.

Minato sealed the rampaging Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within his son, sacrificing his own life to do so,
though he purposely did not completely seal all of the fox's chakra, leaving a good bit for naruto to "play
with". Minato had also sealed a little bit of his chakra into his son, if in case there was a day Naruto
would reach the ninth tail during battle. Other than his own chakra, he had also sealed most of Kushina's
chakras into him for the day Naruto decides to 'control' the kyubi.

He was known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha, also known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves, because of
his Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows himself to move himself to another location in the blink
of an eye.

Minato is one of the strongest ninjas ever to be born in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Minato
Namikaze created a very powerful technique called the Rasengan because he wanted a technique that
did not require seals, which it doesn't, though he planned to add a wind element to it, but he passed
away before he had the chance to fully develop it. Before the event of the Nine-tails which took his life
for sealing the Kyubi into his newborn son, Minato actually taught Kakashi the Rasengan. When Kakashi
learned that it is meant to be mixed with an element, Kakashi tried to mix lightning with it but it didn't
work (which is how he created Chidori) and improved it to be what is now known to be Lightning Blade
(Raikiri).
