Madara Uchiha was one of the co-founders of the village of Konohagakure along with Hashirama Senju, but he eventually became disillusioned with the village's direction and sought to impose his own vision of a perfect world through the attainment of immense power. Madara possesses the Sharingan, an advanced form of the Uchiha clan's dojutsu, and later evolves it into the Rinnegan, a rare and powerful ocular jutsu.

Known for his strategic brilliance, exceptional combat skills, and unparalleled mastery of various jutsu, Madara is a formidable adversary. He is often associated with the creation of several powerful techniques, including the Susanoo and the ability to control the Ten-Tails, a colossal and immensely powerful tailed beast.
