History Characters / NarutoMadaraUchiha

One of the original founders of Konoha. Long before the beginning of the series, during the "Warring States" period, he was TheAce of the Uchiha Clan, bitter enemies of the Senju. Both clans were often pitted against each other by the Daimyos of the era, who were locked into a constant struggle for land and resources. During his childhood, he developed a close friendship with Hashirama Senju, who he had met by chance whilst skipping stones across a river. As neither of them revealed their surnames, Madara remained unaware that Hashirama was from an enemy clan until their secret meetings were discovered by his family. He was soon forced to end their friendship, and, bitter over his loss, sought to completely erase Hashirama from his life, and ignored the latter's offers to reconcile and become allies. Years later, his brother Izuna was mortally wounded in battle by Tobirama, and after his death, an irate Madara recklessly challenged Hashirama to a fight, despite the fact that the rest of his clan had already surrendered. After a day-long battle, he was ultimately defeated, and after an emotional exchange with Hashirama, he finally relented and agreed to form an alliance. In the end the two clans were united under a single village, and after making an agreement with the land's Daimyo, gave rise to the "One Nation, One Village" system.

All seemed to go well at first... until it began to dawn on Madara that a lot of people didn't seem to trust him. Some time after Hashirama was named the First Hokage, Madara used his Eternal Mangekyo to decipher the Uchiha's sacred stone tablet and fell into despair upon realising the meaning of its contents. Fearing that the Senju would one day subjugate and perhaps even annihilate the Uchiha, he tried to persuade his clansmen to leave the village. Apparently this belief was poorly received, because not a single person listened to him. Regardless, Madara became bent on achieving "true peace" with his own methods, and eventually deserted Konoha. He would later repeatedly attack the village, going so far as commanding the Kyuubi to do his bidding, but he was eventually [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice defeated by the First Hokage]], whose wife Mito Uzumaki later became the Kyuubi's first jinchuuriki. Though he did perish from his wounds, he had prepared Izanagi to rewrite his death beforehand, and was later revived. Madara then went into hiding for several decades, making preparations for his Eye of the Moon Plan. As an elderly man he implanted his newly-awakened Rinnegan into Nagato and saved the life of Obito Uchiha, whom he eventually recruited to carry on his plans until he could be resurrected in his physical prime.

After being resurrected and restored to his youth with Edo Tensei, he proceeds to CurbStompBattle the Kages, and even manages to escape Edo Tensei's deactivation. He decides to stop playing around, and after finishing the curb stomping off panel, he [[DynamicEntry crashes]] Obito's fight with Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and B. As this fight kept expanding to include pretty much all of the other characters, things escalated and, long story short, Madara was revived.

He then proceeds to [[NoSell kick everyone's ass]], which includes all nine Tailed Beasts, Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Tobirama,etc. After sealing away all nine beasts in a matter of seconds, he then rids every obstacle in his path and becomes the new and current Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails. Despite several miracles happening one after the other (Gai putting up a decent fight with [[OneWingedAngel all Eight Gates released]], Obito turning on him, and Naruto and Sasuke receiving the Sage of the Six Paths power to be on equal footing with him), Madara reaches his goal and activates Infinite Tsukiyomi. But later he gets a betrayal from Black Zetsu then [[GrandTheftMe forces his body to undergo a transformation]] into the far stronger and far more dangerous [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Kaguya Otsutsuki]]. After her defeat, Madara is returned to normal, all powers stripped from his body and dies peacefully shortly afterward, sharing a sad and final farewell with his former friend Hashirama.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He technically achieved everything he wanted on paper. He got a rematch with Hashirama and defeated him, he got to humiliate Tobirama, he acquired the power of the Six Paths and completed the Infinite Tsukuyomi, giving him access to all the chakra in the world... but Black Zetsu pumps all of it at once into him to convert him into Kaguya Ootsutsuki.

* DidNotSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: Gets utterly screwed by Kaguya Ootsutsuki, whose son has been manipulating him all along.]]

* GenerationXerox: Most notably with Sasuke with both of them torn between their friendships and with their Rivals, namely Hashirama and Naruto, and how every time they went to extreme lengths to acquire power to defeat said rivals, avenge previous losses and desire for world peace through particularly violent and self righteous methods and desire for personal reward without considering how others might feel and react. Literally as well, as Sasuke is the incarnation of [[EternalHero Indra Otsutsuki]] after him.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Madara's desire to protect Izuna caused him to discard his friendship with Hashirama, and his failure to do so consumed him with [[ThePowerOfHate hatred for the Senju]] to the point where he said nothing short of Hashirama committing suicide or killing his own younger brother would change his opinion. Hashirama's willingness to take him up on the former convinces Madara to give their old friendship another shot... until he overhears Tobirama criticizing Hashirama's wish to make Madara the First Hokage and stating that the village - including the Uchiha - would never accept him, causing Madara [[HeelFaceDoorSlam to become]] a BloodKnight nihilist and attempt to annihilate the village with the Nine Tails.
* HeroKiller: He puts both Naruto and Sasuke on their deathbeds in just two chapters. It didn't stick, but that doesn't change the fact that he did it. He also would have possibly killed the five kages if Karin and Suigetsu didn't heal Tsunade.

* InvincibleVillain: WordOfGod confirms this, and he goes through various stages of it: an unbound, limitlessly regenerating zombie; a super-tough mortal that can replace limbs on a whim; and finally host to the Ten Tails with all its powers and a HealingFactor that can regenerate basically any injury. It's only until Might Guy goes all Eight Gates that he finally meets someone not named Hashirama that can do more than mildly inconvenience him, and even that fight only ended in Guy's favor when Guy used [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique a suicide technique]] to basically one shot him, which didn't stick because of the aforementioned healing. When Naruto and Sasuke gain the powers of the Sage's sons and not only match him, [[CurbstompBattle but surpass him]], he runs off and grabs his other Rinnegan eye, bringing him back on par with them and letting him enact his endgame. WordOfGod even admitted at one point that [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow even he had no idea how Naruto and the others could possibly defeat him.]] He is finally defeated when his own [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan (seeming)]] subordinate forcibly converts him into an ''even more powerful'' antagonist.

* ItsPersonal: Possibly moreso with Tobirama than Hashirama. After beating Hashirama, he merely steals the latter's Sage Mode. Once he beats Tobirama, he throws an extra and unnecessary stake through the latter's head for killing Izuna.

* JustToyingWithThem: As of his resurrection, he is easily the second strongest ninja of all time after the Sage of Six Paths. He could easily wipe out the five Kage, but just ends up playing with them until his enjoyment is ruined, after which he proceeds to CurbStompBattle them off-panel and crash Obito's party. Afterwards, he continues playing or sitting around and is largely content to just watch as the Shinobi Alliance battles with Tobi and the Ten Tails, even though he could probably defeat everyone outright. He only gets serious when his plans are about to be disrupted, and even then, he is reluctant to interrupt his fun.

** ''He's'' the one who got Rin killed, with the Zetsus intentionally bringing Obito just too late to help, to BreakTheCutie and get Obito on board with the Moon's Eye plan.

** Manipulating the Zetsu parts in Obito to make him do his bidding certainly counts. Bonus points for Obito being beaten half dead by Kakashi, and even more bonus points for the technique that Madara's forcing him to use being a fatal one. It's hard to feel sorry for Obito after all the atrocities he's commited.

** [[spoiler: Nigh invincible juggernaut with the most powerful bloodline limits grafted into his body, [[SmugSuper always proud to rub it in the face of everyone he crossed paths with]]. He eventually becomes the Juubi jinchuuriki while curbstomping everyone in his path. His final defeat consists of getting unceremoniously stabbed in the back [[EvilGloating (while he was gloating about his triumph, no less)]] and forcibly converted into the vessel of a more powerful being. When Kaguya is sealed again, she expunges him from her body and he loses all the power he once obtained: The Rinnegan, the Mokuton and the tailed beasts, even his eyes are completely blind to reinforce this point.]]

* LightIsNotGood: After he becomes the Ten Tails' new Jinchuuriki, just like Obito, he's clad almost completely in white, and his skin also turns this color.

* LivingShadow: His "Limbo: Hengoku" technique creates an invisible, immaterial doppleganger for a limited time. The doppleganger is every bit as dangerous as Madara himself, being capable of sending all nine Tailed Beasts flying, and is immune to everything except Sage attacks. He gets ''four'' of them when he regains his other Rinnegan. Only Sasuke's Sage-granted Rinnengan eye can actually see the copies, though Naruto can sense their presence.

* TheManBehindTheMan: Subverted with Obito. Although he was responsible behind his StartOfDarkness and FaceHeelTurn, all the same, after his death he losing control of situation since Obito took control of his plan and going to use it for himself.

* ManipulativeBastard: He's the one who made Obito the way he is, organizing his StartOfDarkness and manipulating him that he went along with his Moon's Eye Plan. [[GoneHorriblyRight Though not to tell that his manipulation fully went as he wanted]]. [[SoreLoser Madara of course would rather bite out his own tongue than admit this]].

* {{Narcissist}}: Thinks of himself as "extraordinary" and the greatest genius who ever lived; he's totally self-centred and cares nothing for anyone or anything but himself and his own grandiose ambitions. He is also insistent that he, and '''he alone''', can complete his plan since no one except him is worthy to lead all in the infinite illusion. He is also was the leader of clan especially known for their arrogance and even there he was regards himself as wholly superior.

** However he is susceptible to it himself. One second and you can skip this in the manga (more noticeable in the anime) but a second before as Minato attacks Obito, when Madara tried to force Obito to fully resurrect himself, this is his face. Apparently in this moment he understands that Obito overcame his control and all this time he planned the absorption of the Ten-Tails into himself.

* OpportunisticBastard: Madara had a plan with actual claim to {{Chessmaster}} status before his resurrection. However, he was returned to life with a series of mishaps: his former apprentice having hijacked his old plan and him being revived by the dark Impure World Resurrection technique, and since then he has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. Then Madara tries to regain control of the situation using his back-up plan but eventually got OutGambitted by Obito. Later Madara sits and waits for until the Alliance weakens Obito sufficiently, so that Black Zetsu forces him to revive Madara.

** Madara gets this from Obito. Obito knew that Madara was going use him for own resurrection and he knew that Madara placed a seal on him heart which prevented him from becoming the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki. So, he goaded Kakashi into stabbing him in the heart to remove the seal and become the Jinchuuriki.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: After his resurrection, explicitly deployed as one. He didn't disappoint, obtaining the 3rd highest bodycount (after the multiplied White Zetsu and Pain) over just two chapters. Some time after that, he used his Susanoo to slice through an entire mountain range, ALONG with the giant meteorites he called down himself. In his legendary final battle with Hashirama Senju the two of them carved out the Valley of the End, and following his resurrection he states the Kage are lucky Hashirama wasn't revived as well so that the maps wouldn't need to be redrawn "[[BadassBoast too much]]".

* {{Pride}}: Big time. Uchiha in general don't have a reputation of humility, but Madara really takes the cake. When finally deciding to unleash his full Susanoo vs the five Kages, he takes the time to destroy a mountain range for no discernable reason other than showing off. He wasn't even aiming at the Kages.

* RetiredMonster: In the many years between his disgraceful defeat at the hands of Hashirama and when he rescues Obito, time has worn away at whatever power Madara had once possessed. When Obito awakens to see him, he is a short, one-eyed, shriveled old man who relies on the Mazo statue as a life support system to keep him alive, quite a whiplash from his [[WorldsStrongestMan previous appearance]].

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: He has become jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails and thus, the third Sage of Six Paths.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Back in the early days of the village, Madara worried that the Senju Clan would eventually kill off the Uchiha Clan and wanted them to cut ties with the village because of this. While this ''did'' eventually happen, it was largely because Madara's own disciple (Obito) attacked the village and framed the Uchiha Clan for it; worsening the clan's relationship with the village and eventually leading them to plan a coup. That in turn leads to a massacre in which said disciple directly participated.

* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: Probably the biggest example in the series. Despite becoming one of the most powerful beings in the world capable of trashing anyone in combat, and despite the fact that he [[spoiler: did completed the Moon’s Eye Plan]], he ultimately ends as the biggest loser in the series, not only failing to achieve any of his goals, but only making things worse for himself and everyone else in the process. [[spoiler: Izuna's death, the destruction of the Uchiha clan, the animosity between the ninja villages, Akatsuki and their misdeeds, the Fourth Shinobi World War, all those events were caused directly or indirectly by his actions despite his stated intentions of bringing everlasting peace and protecting his brother and his clan. Even his grand plan to become the savior of the world ended in failure as it was actually the scheme of somebody else. In their final conversation, Hashirama points out that his problem was his cynicism, as he just refused to trust other people and share his burdens with them, a path that ultimately lead to his ruin. Madara concedes that Hashirama might have a point, but it's too late now.]]

* SmugSnake: While he is certainly enough powerful and skilled compared with conventional representatives this trope he all the same is fully suitable as this. He considers himself the greatest [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] and ManipulativeBastard when in fact a large part of his plan relied on [[DragonInChief Obito]] who ultimately took control of his plan and going to use it for himself. If not [[TheManBehindtheMan Black Zetsu]], Madara would never have appeared at war. But even his appearance at the war does not change the situation much since his back-up plan was OutGambitted by Obito who became the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails. But even then Madara claims that he has everything under control when all that he does is wait until the Alliance does everything for him.

** He loses his immortality when he's revived, and by extension the unlimited chakra, but gains the ability to heal near instantaneously like Tsunade, can absorb chakra to replenish his levels, and can now use SAGE MODE. Besides that last bit, really, what's changed?

* ThanatosGambit: He attempted to pull one off. He left Tobi in charge of carrying out his plans and intended for Nagato to revive him later. This didn't go as planned due to Nagato making a HeelFaceTurn and sacrificing his life to revive the villagers he killed and Tobi who going to become the jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails himself and never had any intention of reviving him. Nonetheless, he gets revived as a zombie later on by Kabuto and subsequently hijacks the jutsu so he can't be controlled.

** [[spoiler: Madara’s resurrection in the Fourth Shinobi World War was also a case of this. Obito never intended to resurrect him as he aimed to take control of the Moon’s Eye Plan. He would have succeeded if not for Kabuto resurrecting Madara with the Edo Tensei. It’s ultimately revealed that Black Zetsu was the one who led Kabuto to the location of Madara’s corpse as part of his plan to bring back Kaguya Ootsutsuki.]]

* ThirdEye: After regaining [[spoiler: both of his Rinnegan and becoming the Ten Tails' jinchuuriki, he gains the Rinne Sharingan, resembling that of Kaguya, by getting close to the moon.]]

* TragicVillain: While it isn't an excuse for his actions, Madara is no doubt the product of a ''lifetime'' filled with tragedy. By the age of ten, he had already lost ''four brothers'', resulting in his desperate dream for peace, which he shared with his best friend, Hashirama. However, he cherished last remaining brother, Izuna, more than anything, enough that he willingly turned his back on his friend and his dream, and continued the Uchiha-Senju feud to new heights. The casualties of this continued feud resulted in the death the brother he sought to protect. Then, after finally giving in and joining Hashirama in building Konoha, he was denied the post of the First Hokage and learned the truth about the Uchiha-Senju feud from the tablet in the Naka Shrine, which finally drove him over the deep end and into the Madara we all know and hate. [[spoiler:The fact that he was a pawn used to revive his distant ancestor is just icing on the cake]].

** His topic of choice when he was first revived during the war is how inferior he feels the current Kages are to him and the 1st Hokage.
** In a flashback he was shown do this to even the Nine Tails, telling him (more or less) that he's stupid and needs the Uchiha Clan to give him purpose.
* TheUndead: After being brought back by Kabuto's [[PeoplePuppets Edo Tensei]] jutsu.

-->'''Madara''': Who knows. They're probably... not okay. *cut to shot of the Kage all lying in pools of their own blood*

* UndyingLoyalty: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}. He was fanatical loyal to the Uchihas, to the point of stealing/asking for his brothers' eyes so he could face Hashirama in their War. This extended to also fanatically fighting for the Uchiha dignity to the point of being banished from his Clan and the Village that he helped create. Needless to say, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he didn't take the news well]].

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Zig-Zagging trope. He really want to bring peace to the world and thinks that his plan is the only way it can happen. But at the same time as he want bring peace he also more concerned to implement the plan independently since thinks that only '''he''' is worthy to lead all in the infinite illusion.
* VillainBall: He catches it when trying to get his second eye back. When Madara wants to retrieve his Rinnegan from Black Zetsu, Obito does not allow him to do so. Instead of, y'know, trying to take his eye immediately because any sensible man at that time could see that Obito was ''not'' his friend, since Obito '''himself''' had said that he never considered Madara an ally and also betrayed him when become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. Also, Madara has forced Obito to resurrect him through a jutsu which kills the user and any sensible person would understand that Obito would be displeased this. Madara is not one of these people. [[WhatAnIdiot He tried to convince him to give the Rinnegan voluntarily and then he was surprised that Obito went against him]]. And later when Obito and Naruto teleported into another other dimension, he [[BloodKnight spent all his time fighting with Guy]] rather than trying to retrieve his eye and preventing Obito from resurrecting Naruto.

** A key part of his [[XanatosSpeedChess new]] plan involves Obito sacrificing his life to use [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Rinne Tensei]] to revive him completely. Obito is understandably hesitant about this. His solution is to force Obito's body to perform the jutsu by taking control of the latter's Zetsu cells. Of course Obito did not take this lying down and overrode his override. But later he succeeded in accomplishing his revival by using Obito after the latter was defeated and stripped of the tailed beasts powering him.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Made the offer to Obito Uchiha, training him as his successor. Following his complete resurrection he makes the offer to Sasuke Uchiha, but is turned down (probably didn't help that he had considered out loud taking Sasuke's EMS until he could get his Rinnegan back before the offer).

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In the anime his hair turns white when he becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchuuriki.

*** [[spoiler: His ultimate defeat tantamounts to getting unceremoniously stabbed in the back by Black Zetsu and used as a vessel to revive Kaguya Ootsutsuki who is many times stronger than him.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: Considered this during his era alongside Hashirama, though since his resurrection, he has integrated his DNA into his body, making him the one of the most powerful shinobi to walk the earth. To the point that he needs the Five Kages to face him at all. Even then, they weren't enough when he starts to get a ''little'' serious.

** Naruto was able to match him while he was an Edo Tensei, going blow for blow with him and Madara even regarded him as a serious threat. However, when he is fully resurrected, Madara takes on Naruto and Killer Bee in their tailed beast modes backed by Gaara and all other tailed beast together before swiftly defeating them with a LivingShadow cast after regaining just his left Rinnegan. [[FromBadToWorse He then revives the Ten-Tails and becomes it's third and far more complete Jinchuuriki.]]
** [[spoiler: He is then matched by Guy using his Eight Gate backed up by Minato, Kakashi and Gaara. Then he is trounced by Naruto and Sasuke each wielding half of the Sage of the Six Paths's power. When he more or less matches them by absorbing the Shinju and recovering his left Rinnegan, he gets undone by Zetsu to revive the much more powerful Kaguya Ootsutsuki.]]

** Also considers Might Guy one; even after becoming the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, he's impressed that Might Guy gave him a close fight that even ''he'' wasn't sure he could win. He straight up admits that Guy is the greatest taijutsu master alive and one of the worthiest opponents he had ever faced, which is why he planned to land a finishing blow rather than just let Guy die from the effects of the Eight Gates — he considered such a gesture the greatest honor he could give.

** To be fair, Kabuto's extensive knowledge of medicine probably allowed him to modify and rejuvenate Madara. The meteors were likely pulled from orbit with the Rinnegan. Strong enough individuals can simply break free of the Edo Tensei user's control, so Tobirama probably did not see reason to terminate the contract given their goals and Orochimaru's were the same. Susanoo is stated to only need the Mangekyo as the prerequisite to unlock it, but does not require the Sharingan to use it. He probably did not face rejection from the Ten Tails as he was the intended vessel for Kaguya as the true Rinnegan user instead of Obito who forcibly absorbed it. Also Obito was unable to turn intangible as the Ten Tails host, it never specified whether or not he can warp between the dimensions. Regardless, while most of the things Madara does is plausible, he has an awful amount of leeway in the established rules.

* BigBad: He becomes when escapes out of control Edo Tensei's and forms an BigBadDuumvirate with Obito. [[BigBadWannabe Later he leaves on second plan]] when Obito becomes the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails but after defeat Obito he takes the role of the main villain until he's upstaged by Kaguya.

* FatalFlaw: [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers Cynicism]]. A lot of problems caused by Madara's actions, and problems he himself faces, are because of his cynical outlook of the world. Madara constantly talks about how much life sucks, and that there will always be losers as long as there are winners. Many people InUniverse and out see right through this and view it for him for what he truly is: A self-pitying SoreLoser whining about how life as treated him, but is too stuck-up to admit that most of his problems are self-inflicted

* FatalFlaw: [[SillyRabbitCynicisimIsForLosers Cynicism]]. A lot of problems caused by Madara's actions, and problems he himself faces, are because of his cynical outlook of the world. Constantly talking about how much life sucks, and that there will always be losers as long as there are winners. Many people InUniverse and out see right through this and view it for him for what he truly is: A self-pitying {{Jerkass}} whining about how life as treated him, but is too stuck-up to admit that most of his problems are self-inflicted

* HateSink: Between [[HeManWomanHater bashing women]], [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman considering the Bijuu to be mindless slaves]], [[HeroKiller putting the two protagonists at death's doorstep]], turning [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Obito's]] [[BreakTheCutie life into a nightmare so bad]] [[CorruptTheCutie that he would try to remake reality]] and [[InvincibleVillain surviving every goddamn thing they throw at him]],his seems to serve no better purpose than this. In-universe, the number of people who don't [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating completely despise him can easily be counted on one hand.]]
** But ultimately subverted since Madara was relieved of his duties in this role, thanks [[TheManBehindTheMan Kaguya]] and the story giving Madara an AlasPoorVillain sendoff.

* LivingDistantRelative: Madara was the head of the Uchiha Clan during the First Shinobi World War, and is this to Obito and Sasuke Uchiha following his resurrection.

* EvilMentor: To Tobi/Obito.

--> "If I'm the only one here, the extent to which the maps will need to be redrawn won't be to drastic."

* BadassInCharge: He was this for the Uchiha clan during his first lifetime.

* UnwittingPawn: Madara himself [[spoiler:turns out to be one to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki]].

* VisionaryVillain: He says he has a clear goal and plan to achieve the utopia which he envisions.

[[WMG:[[center: [- ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' [[Characters/{{Naruto}} Main Character Index]]\\

* DidntThinkThisThrough: He apparently never thought about the fact that Obito had virtually no motivation for resurrecting him and intended to hijack the Moon's Eye Plan for himself. The seal he placed on Obito's heart prevented him from becoming the Ten Tails' jinchūriki, but (as happened during Obito's fight against Kakashi) could be removed. He also never considered the possibility of Nagato dying before being able to use to resurrect him with the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.

* TheDevilIsALoser: Well not exactly the devil but still. TheDreaded, ShroudedInMyth, WorldsStrongestMan villain... spent the last few years of his life squatting in a cave, depending on Zetsu for life support, obsessing over the misery his own shortcomings brought upon him and concluding [[NeverMyFault the entire world was to blame]]. Obito's not too impressed with him when they first meet, and Zetsu appears to consider his creator a loser despite doing his bidding; White Zetsu points out to Obito behind Madara's back that the Moon's Eye plan is mostly based on Madara's own {{Wangst}}, not a desire for peace.

* OpportunisticBastard: Madara had a plan with actual claim to {{Chessmaster}} status before his resurrection. However, he was returned to life with a series of mishaps: his former apprentice having hijacked his old plan and him being revived by the dark Impure World Resurrection technique, and since then he has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. Then Madara tries to regain control of the situation using his back-up plan but eventually got OutGambitted by Obito.
Later Madara sits and waits for until the Alliance weakens Obito sufficiently, so that Black Zetsu forces him to revive Madara.

* BrokenAce: Having been raised in war and combat, he made a name for himself as one of the world's strongest, always fighting to protect the Uchiha. But after spending most of his life in war and losing all his brothers, Madara finally lost all hope after discovering that human conflict led to people stealing chakra from god, which only made the world worse. At this point he decides that the current world isn't worth caring about and pursues an AssimilationPlot.

* CombatSadomasochist: Absolutely loves powerful opponents capable of putting a heavy dent in him and returning the favour. [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven Take up to eleven]] with his reactions throughout tanking Might Gai's 8th Gate techniques.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:He organized StartOfDarkness for Obito with two goals: Firstly in order to Obito wanted to fulfill his plan and secondly in order to he had the full loyalty to him and unquestioningly obeyed his plan. The first part worked beyond any expectation, the second... [[TheStarscream not so much]].]]

* HateSink: Between [[HeManWomanHater bashing women]], [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman considering the Bijuu as mindless slaves]], [[HeroKiller putting the two protagonists at death's doorstep]], turning [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Obito's]] [[BreakTheCutie life into a nightmare so bad]] [[CorruptTheCutie he would try to remake reality]] and [[InvincibleVillain surviving every goddamn thing they throw at him]],his seems to serve no better purpose than this. In-universe, the number of people who don't [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating completely despise him can easily be counted on one hand.]]

** He calls chakra a source of endless suffering and says that his ultimate goal is to save humanity by creating a dream world without chakra. But apparently Madara does not see any problem to make himself in this new world the sole owner of the chakra which he so despises.

** After activation the Infinite Tsukuyomi he speaks Naruto that he has no right intervene in people's lives. It sounds very hypocritically from man who intervene in many people's life by force of taking away their under control of everlasting illusion.

** During his legendary fight with Hashirama Senju, his opponent seemingly killed him by sticking a sword into his back. That didn't stick.

* ItsAllAboutMe: As per the usual for Uchihas. Which, considering he was once their Head and among the most influential in their history (founding Konoha alongside Hashirama) means he set the standard for them during the time of the Hidden Villages. First he was mad because his clan wanted to stop fighting the Senju clan ([[SunkCostFallacy because he believed that it would render the sacrifices of countless Uchiha - including his own brother senseless]]). Then when he's still agreed to a truce he throw ''a tantrum'' because ''he'' didn't get to be Hokage (because he believed that if the First Hokage was Hashirama it would mean that the Second would be Tobirama and the Uchiha clan would come to an end). Then he was displeased that the Uchiha clan did not listen to his warning and decided to ''forget about them''. Then he decided to read a secret tablet about the history of the world revealing that [[AwfulTruth the war-torn world they lived in had always been that way]] and that even attempt his ancestor to use the power of God to put an end to all wars didn't work. After this Madara in his turn ''himself'' decided [[GenreBlindness try to get the power of God and use it to put an end to all wars]] because he apparently believed that ''he'' will succeed where his predecessor failed. Herewith he decided to completely ignore security and life ''all'' those who stand in his way including of his best friend, of his own clan, of his own village and in principle all people living on the planet. All in all, his whole Infinite Tsukuyomi plan is a thin excuse for an ego trip. Madara gets to show off being the strongest being in existence while also getting to be the Messiah of the world.

** Constantly referring to the Bijuu as ''filthy beasts'' certainly qualifies. Remember that it's been established that all the Tailed Beasts have their own names and feelings; Madara keeps alluding that the Bijuu are nothing more than mindless monsters running around unsupervised and that they deserved to have a leash tied around their necks. What a jerk.
* TheJuggernaut: Nothing the good guys have tried has even come close to slightly inconveniencing him. [[spoiler:[[BeyondTheImpossible Was needed more powerful antagonist reviving herself to defeat him.]]]]

** [[spoiler: Deliberately manipulated and corrupted Obito in order to enact his plan, then nonchalantly forced him to sacrifice his life in order to fully resurrect. Turns out Madara himself was unwittingly corrupted and manipulated all along by the Black Zetsu, and once the plan was completed, Black Zetsu proceeded to sacrifice him to resurrect Kaguya while mocking him for thinking he was any different from Obito. Bonus points for that he did it is with the help of Obito's body, a man to whom he spoiled life and mocked before.]]

** [[spoiler: Unlike his rival Hashirama, he rejected the idea of [[PassingTheTorch nurturing the younger generation for them to carry on his beliefs and continue his dreams]]. Indeed, he constantly dismissed people from younger generations while mocking their ideals. This included his own descendants who he only saw as tools to be used. Turns out he was part of a long line of reincarnations of Indra who were only seen and used as tools by the Black Zetsu to resurrect his eldest ancestor. In the end, the youngsters he dismissed were the ones who saved the world from Kaguya and, ultimately, stopped the cycle of revenge between Senju and Uchiha that he and Hashirama failed to curtail. As he lies dying as a broken man, he is forced to admit that Hashirama’s way was superior, because the dream of his rival will continue through the Leaf Village and the Will of Fire while his own ends with his death. The only consolation that allows him to let go of his grudges and [[PeacefulInDeath die peacefully]] is that Hashirama still considers him a comrade.]]
* LaughingMad: After his resurrection and receiving his Rinnegan he licks his blood and starts madly laugh rejoicing taste new of battle.

* MadeOfIron: Madara literally became a human ping-pong ball for the Tailed Beasts when he charged headfirst into the fray, was hit with some of the strongest attacks seen in the series (Five-Tails horn attack that wounded the ''Eight-Tails'', Six-Tails' ''pool of acid'', etc.) - each attack getting stronger since the One through Seven Tailed Beast hit him one after the other - which finally culminated in ALL the tailed beasts smashing ''through'' his Senjutsu powered Complete ''Susanoo'' with their respective tails, and the only thing they get for their trouble is a slightly battered Madara and a missing arm, which he quickly replaces. The whole time, Madara expresses disdain for him only expressing anger when Gaara and Shukaku nearly managing to ''seal'' him after Gaara turned him into a Person Puppet.

* MeaninglessVillainVictory: [[spoiler: He successfully casts the Infinite Tsukuyomi, thinking he saved the world by putting everyone in under a lie... only to be backstabbed by Black Zetsu who then tells him that the moons eye plan was itself a lie, it's real purpose was to resurrect Kaguya and he now made himself the perfect vessel for her return. Leaving it up to the heroes who managed to evade the genjutsu, to put a stop to Kaguya and fix the mess he made.]]

* NeverMyFault: Madara thinks he is living in a CrapsackWorld and blaming him for the suffering that he endured in his life despite being that most of these problems were caused his actions. He accuses Tobirama of murder Izuna despite being that Madara on that moment was the leader of Uchiha clan (whose members if believe the words Hashirama have already understood that the Senju clan was stronger than they) and Hashirama himself already have offered him peace and if he was not so stubborn then his brother perhaps would still be alive. Also he accuses his clan and his village in that they does not want to he became Hokage despite being that exactly his behavior is a key part of the why his not want see Hokage. And also considers his suffering after his defeat by Hashirama absolutely not deserve despite being that he the one who instigate the fight and what he tried to destroy everything about what they dreamed of for years to come.

** Once he is revived, no longer immortal and most importantly lacking his Rinnegan eyes and thus access to the Six Paths, he retains somehow the ability to absorb chakra through his Senju cells and goes on to steal Hashirama's Senjutsu-enhanced HealingFactor. When he is crushed under a pyramid of sand enhanced by Shukaku he simply bursts out with Susanoo despite having no eyes! Getting crushed by nine Bijuu tail whips and losing an arm? Have White Zetsu return your right Rinnegan and give his own arm as a replacement! You're the one against nine Tailed Beasts? Suddenly appears ability Limbo which was created solely to catch the Tailed Beasts off guard so that Madara can easily defeat and seal them!
* NobleDemon: Well, at one point, he was certainly noble enough to bring an end to the Warring Clans era, and co-found Konoha with his most hated enemy, and former friend. [[ThenLetMeBeEvil But things changed]]...

** Aslo during his childhood and in the early days of Konoha's existence after the war ended, during which which he has a HairTriggerTemper at any point where anything Hashirama does to intentionally unnerve him definitely puts him off...

** However he is susceptible to it himself. One second and you can skip this in the manga (more noticeably in the anime) but a second before as Minato attacks Obito, when Madara tried to force Obito to fully resurrect himself, this is his face. Apparently in this moment he understands what Obito overcome his control and all this time the absorption of the Ten-Tails in himself.

* OpportunisticBastard: Madara had a plan with actual claim to {{Chessmaster}} status before his resurrection. However, he was returned to life with a series of mishaps: his former apprentice having hijacked his old plan and him being revived by the dark Impure World Resurrection technique, and since then has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. Then Madara tries regain control of the situation using his back-up plan but eventually got OutGambitted from Obito. Further Madara sits and waits for until the Alliance weaken Obito sufficiently, to Black Zetsu forces him to revive Madara.

** Madara gets from Obito. Obito knew that Madara going use him for own resurrection and he knew that Madara placed a seal on him heart which prevents him from becoming the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki. So he goaded Kakashi into stabbing him in the heart to remove seal and become Jinchuuriki.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: After his resurrection, explicitly deployed as one. He didn't disappoint, going to 3rd highest bodycount (after the multiplied White Zetsu and Pain) over just two chapters. Some time after that, he used his Susanoo to slice through an entire mountain range, ALONG with the giant meteorites he called down himself. In his legendary final battle with Hashirama Senju the two of them carved out the Valley of the End, and following his resurrection he states the Kage are lucky Hashirama wasn't revived as well so that the maps wouldn't need to be redrawn "[[BadassBoast too much]]".

* PlotArmor: Villainous version. Since his resurrection, Madara got in a few situations in which he was very close to defeat, only to [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands suddenly demonstrate a new power that had never been seen or even hinted at before]], or [[BeyondTheImpossible just doing impossible action without explanation]]. His most iconic one may be when he was somehow knowing how terminate the contract with Edo Tensei when the person who summoned him was defeated despite the fact that even the original creator of this jutsu does not know how to do it. And as if in confirmation of this when his PlotArmor disappeared (after activation Infinite Tsukiyomi) he was defeated literally one hit in the back from Black Zetsu which showed that he manipulated Madara all this time and to use him as fodder for Kaguya's resurrection.

* PsychopathicManchild: A Type C. He's incredibly powerful, the head of his clan, and the co-founder of the Hidden Leaf Village... But declaring war on the Village (and by proxy kicking off the plot) is nothing but him essenitally throwing a temper-tantrum after eavesdropping on Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, in their own home, and hearing Tobirama express his opinion that the title of Hokage should be voted on by the Village Elders and Clan Heads instead of just being handed to Madara because Hashirama wants him to have it. Ironically, Madara probably could have been voted Hokage if he didn't have a history of behaving this way. He also treats his newfound power as host to the Ten-Tails as if he were a child with a new toy as well as when he's fighting Eighth Gate!Gai he started behave like a child asking him to show him the best of his ability. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, he is extremely cocky.]]

* SmugSmiler: He sports one when Obito becomes the Ten-Tail Jinchuuriki. He then gives another one when he's about to sic Black Zetsu on Obito to revive him, while pinned down by the technique that held the TEN-TAILS in place.
* SmugSnake: While he is certainly enough powerful and skilled compared with conventional representatives this trope but he all the same is fully suitable under this. He considers himself the greatest [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] and ManipulativeBastard when in fact a large part of his plan, relied on planning [[DragonInChief Obito]] who ultimately took control of his plan and going to use it for himself. If not [[TheManBehindtheMan Black Zetsu]], Madara would never has appeared at war. But even his appearance at the war does not change the situation much since his back-up plan was OutGambitted Obito who became Jinchuuriki Ten-Tails. But even then Madara claims that he has everything under control when all that he does this is waiting until the Alliance will do everything for him.

* StunnedSilence: When Hashirama finally arrives on the battlefield, Madara greets him like they're about to have another epic duel. Hashirama tells him they'll fight later, stopping the Juubi comes first. Madara spends a moment standing there with his GameFace sort of frozen there.

** [[spoiler:It expanded in anime where before to become the host for Kaguya he mentally asked Hashirama where he could make a mistake as he just could not believe what this was happening to him.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: One of the figures would become part of the {{Big Bad|Duumvirate}} was once an {{Adorkable}} child who was so sensitive to his surroundings that he couldn't pee if someone was nearby and became frantically apologetic if he hurt someone's feelings.

* VillainBall: He catches him when trying to get his second eye back. In the moment when Madara wants to return his Rinnegan from Black Zetsu, Obito does not allow to do so. Instead of, well you know, try to take his eye immediately because any man at a time could to understand that Obito ''not'' his friend, since Obito '''himself''' had said him that he had never considered his as ally and also betrayed him when become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. Also Madara has forced Obito to resurrect him through jutsu which kills the user at using and any sensible person was understandable that Obito will be displeased this. Madara is not one of these people. [[WhatAnIdiot He trying to convince him to give Rinnegan voluntarily and then he surprised that Obito went against him]]. And later when Obito and Naruto teleported in other dimension, he [[BloodKnight spent all his time fighting with Guy]] rather than trying to retrieve his eye and prevent Obito from resurrecting Naruto.

* VisionaryVillain: He have clear goal and plan to achieve the utopia which he envision.

* XanatosSpeedChess: From the moment of his resurrection Madara has been trying to improvise his way to victory. Madara proceeded to wait for an opportunity to break free of the caster's control before finding his apprentice Tobi had already revived the monstrous Ten-Tailed Beast. To him from becoming the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki and completing the Moon Eye Plan Madara must be alive and not an immortal zombie. His solution is to force Obito sacrifice his life to revive him completely by taking control Zetsu cells of the latter's. This does not work and has backfires when Obito becomes the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki. But later Madara successfully forces him to revive himself with the aid of Black Zetsu.

** After Obito defeat at the hands of the entire alliance, Madara simply pulls this on him again by having Black Zetsu ambush him and take control of his weakened body.

* ClippedWingAngel: Madara resurrecting himself brings him back at full power, but because he gave away his Rinnegan eyes before he died the eyes granted to him by Edo Tensei crumble into ash. [[HandicappedBadass Even while blind he still manages to repeal Hashirama, Sasuke, and Naruto]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: As per the usual for Uchihas. Which, considering he was once their Head and among the most influential in their history (founding Konoha alongside Hashirama) means he set the standard for them during the time of the Hidden Villages. First he was mad because his clan wanted to stop fighting the Senju clan ([[SunkCostFallacy because he believed that it would render the sacrifices of countless Uchiha - including his own brother senseless]]). Then when he's still agreed to a truce he throw ''a tantrum'' because ''he'' didn't get to be Hokage (because he believed that if the First Hokage was Hashirama it would mean that the Second would be Tobirama and the Uchiha clan would come to an end). Then he was displeased that the Uchiha clan did not listen to his warning and decided to ''forget about them''. Then he decided to read a secret tablet about the history of the world revealing that [[AwfulTruth the war-torn world they lived in had always been that way]] and that even attempt his ancestor to use the power of God to put an end to all wars didn't work. After this Madara in his turn ''himself'' decided [[GenreBlindness try to get the power of God and use it to put an end to all wars]] because he apparently believed that ''he'' will succeed where his predecessor failed. Herewith he decided to completely ignore security and life ''all'' those who stand in his way including of his best friend, of his own clan, of his own village and in principle all people living on the planet.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wanted to create a world without chakra and also to be the sole owner of this chakra... well he has achieved what he wanted when Black Zetsu forcefully pumps in the chakra of those who were caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi for the revival his creator Kaguya.

* BetterThanNew: Kabuto comments that he used Edo Tensei to make him even stronger than when he was in his prime.
