Zetsu clone
whilst it does appear he is infront of a zetsu mayfly spiky thing bit when he is replacing his arm, stating he needs to get the Rinnegan, why is this on the main page. isnt this speculation? "However, when seen acquiring a new arm after "detaching" his right arm due to Torune's bugs, Madara is seen standing in front of a plant-like substance similar in appearance to that of Zetsu's green flytrap-like material, which could imply he does in fact replace his limbs with said substance. Furthermore, Madara appears to leak a lighter-colored goo instead of human blood when losing his limbs. "

it reads like he is made up of zetsu's clone / body mass thing. also lighter coloured goo? instead of blood? the manga is in black and white so....where is thsi from? i ask because i don't know. SharinganMike (talk) 19:15, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Fire Release
I wonder if this has already been talked about before, but isn't it wrong to leave out Fire Release among Madara's Nature Transformation affinities? I did remember in a flashback in his conversation with Sasuke that he used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique in a woodcut depiction of his engagement with enemies. Besides, being an Uchiha, wasn't it given already? Please clarify if I had misconceptions. Magatama90 (talk) 17:57, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Check archives 3 and 4. The woodcut depiction was not deemed as a definite proof. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:06, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's stupid. It's a flashback showing him using a fire release, and that's not enough proof? But Tsunade has "presumed" lightning release affinity, because one of her techniques that is derived from medical ninjutsu affects the "electrical impulses of the human body." That's enough to have a "presumed" affinity, but a picture of him using fire release isn't? 66.165.170.254 (talk) 18:14, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it should be enough, but no one else does. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:23, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure Madara was never shown using fire release in the manga, in any form or way. If this woodcut clearly shows Madara doing a fire release technique, it shouldn't be problem adding it. Does anyone have a screenshot of this? --ShounenSuki (talk 00:39, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the archive, the woodcut was shown in episode 136, meaning it was either in chapter 386 or 387 of the manga, so if it exists, it should be in the 42nd volume. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:50, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

There is a stylised image of an fight scene, with an Uchiha using a fire release. However, although he looks like Madara, there is no way to tell for certain. It is more likely that he was meant to be a symbolic representation for the entire Uchiha clan. --ShounenSuki (talk 08:03, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * In the Manga it's only a silouette, but in the Anime they show that it was Madara using the technique. And although I would agree the silouette isn't evidence enough, it's still safe to assume it is Madara, since the entire chapter was about him. 66.165.170.254 (talk) 14:31, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * The part where the silhouette was shown in the manga was about the Uchiha clan in general. Still, if it was clearly Madara in the anime, that should be enough to add the fire nature to hid info box, albeit with an anime only tag. i would like to see the anime scene, though. Could anyone post a screenshot or give me an episode number and a time index? --ShounenSuki (talk 15:07, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess this is the scene they are talking about. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 17:06, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, how do we conclude this problem? I suggest we put Fire Release and Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique with "anime only" tags and get this done with. Magatama90 (talk) 00:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which episode from anime Madara uses fire release??? could someone tell me? --Rubião September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * This scene, from episode 136. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 14:59, September 11, 2010 (UTC) Madara and Fire.png
 * It probably was him... at least it's safe to assume that it's him since having the fire element has to be a continuous existing prerequisite trait within this clan how else wold they use the grand fireball technique as a rite of passage?--Cerez365 (talk) 15:09, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Links
In Madara's weapon area (the discription of what weapons he has) the link for his war fan takes you to a disambiguation. can this be fixed so that it goes directly to Madara's gunbai please?Lafon (talk) 16:04, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Voice
Madara as far as I know hasn't appeared in an english version of something so where did this Richard Epcar thing come from?--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 20:58, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

weapons
add shackles shackles are kewl ^_^ --Cerez365 (talk) 13:59, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah on a serious (i think i was high when i typed that ^) shouldn't we add it as a weapon? they are unusual weapons and as far as i know is unique to Madara --Cerez365 (talk) 22:12, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

zryu chain Lure.d (talk) 03:42, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Is it pipe Madara stabs Konan with? I thought it was sharpened bamboo.

What is he made of!?
What do you guys make of his arms against the 4th Hokage and Torune!? It looks like his is made of a white paste with a hard outer shell. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 16:57, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The most popular theory I've seen says it involves Zetsu's clones. How "Madara is not as strong as he used to be" and "Zetsu can make perfect copies, right down to chakra, but they're not very strong". That, Spore Technique, and the Zetsu like thing near Madara when White Zetsu said Sasuke was fighting Team 7. Some also say he lost so much power because to survive his wounds from the battle with Hashirama, he had to use Izanagi, meaning his other eye is blind, and along with it, he can't use one MS technique, and no longer has access to Susanno, which according to theorists, he could use. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:23, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

So its theoretically possible that Madara's soul is encased in one of Zetsu's clones? Like using it as a vessel, simaler to Orochimaru's technuiques?--SixthMizukage (talk) 04:05, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Possess a clone? Very interesting. Edging near speculation, though that would explain the scene you see Madara in when Zetsu contacted him about Sasuke vs. Naruto. But are the clones not more solid? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 04:49, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Im getting it more from the battle with Minato when his hand seems to have a hole in it and everything. And also Madara talking about the Gedo Rinne Tensei being made for him, to possess a body again perhaps? If Im speculating to much warn me.--SixthMizukage (talk) 05:05, July 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, that was mostly valuable information, I did not notice it was an actual hole in him. Thanks. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:13, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

@ Omnibender.... that thesis is 100% false since madara has the eternal mangekyo sharingan which he cannot be blinded 1david12(talk)


 * I'm sure if someone gouges out his eye or impales it he'd go bline. He can't go blind from usage of the eye but in the end it's still just an eye. And as it relates to what he's made of, it does have something to do with the damage done to him by Shodaime and Zetsu's abilities. In chapter 486 page 5 you can see a big glomp of Zetsu stuff and Madara's new formed hand --Cerez365 (talk)


 * Yes. His EMS can't go blind from strain of using MS techniques, but nothing was ever said it couldn't go blind from other things. MS techniques are all dangerous, but Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanno were never listed as kinjutsu, which Izanagi was. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:36, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'd have to agree that his survival to this point probably has more to do with zetsu than how he brags about his own strong chakra... not that he isn't strong. And i always figured there must be something up with his left eye as well. On a seperate note, I think his space time ninjutsu comes from his eternal ms. If you think about it, the only two characters to have a transplanted eye are him and kakashi, and both have developed space time nin with their eyes. so it seems it's a power one gains from transfering eyes.12.9.116.27 (talk) 06:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC) miah

it's safe to say, dispite having the EMS, the eyes can still be blinded, this is evident with The Animal Path. He got a kick to the face and was blinded. and that was the mightiest Dojutsu of them all. The Rinnegan. SharinganMike (talk) 23:56, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * =_= they mean from use of their abilities not if they're blinded by another means. They mean the person can use the EMS without their eyesight deteriorating --Cerez365 (talk) 03:37, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

well yeah, i know that, but just adding an extra point to what you said about the eye being gouged out or something. Because its quite evident that its a possiblity with what happened with Pain. SharinganMike (talk) 18:36, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I think that he might have taken over Hashiramas body, as he could use the wood style to regenerate his arm and :maybe his sharingan: ... Secondly I think he still has access to many sharingan, meaning he could transplant the sharingans -maybe using mokuton- to transplant it. I think it is also possible that the sharingans lose the light temporarily as he has an eternal sharingan... that's all folks... ;-) MadaraCami (talk) 11:02, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Power now
Judging by his fights, Madara is definetely stronger than a general jonin or high-Jonin (the ANBU personally assigned to the Hokage and Torune and Fu), but not stronger than a kage. If he had attacked the Kage summit, they too may have had a chance to react to him despite being sucked up, that is why he has not attacked them directly.
 * I put this down because it has been bugging me, and thus possibly others. Plus others may have things to add. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:00, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * His "charm" does not come with how powerful is he, but rather how careful and experienced he is. In fact, he lets others to do his bidding, that is his "main" talent, his manipulative abilities are without a doubt his most powerful resource, along with his knowledge, rather than having massive amounts of chakra or being physically strong. He also has an advantage few characters have, and relies on his use of Time-Space Techniques to overwhelm his opponents with the high defense and offensive it provides. And that's it, very cautious but strong is not the word. BGMaxie


 * First of all, the ANBU that protect the Hokage are not "high-Jonin" as there are no true ninja ranks within ANBU. They can be genin, chunin, or jonin. As to his power, I have two theories. 1) His battle with Hashirama seriously limited his power by some means that have not yet been explained (as both he and Itachi stated). 2) He prefers to act through others to have his enemies remain uneasy about who he is, what he is capable of, etc.66.165.170.254 (talk) 18:11, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Which rank would you have guarding the Fox? Regardless, you say that it is more of his intelligence that makes the difference? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 18:19, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps, since he only shows one eye, the other was destroyed in his fight with Hashirama? He has, afterall, only used one Mangekyo technique, so maybe he lost his other two if/when he lost an eye?SkyFlicker (talk) 00:40, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which technique? When Sasuke (thanks to Itachi) used Amataseru on him I thought it was too awkward to see and erase/turn off (?). Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:37, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

de facto
I know this is just speculation, but is it posible that Madara was never acctually Mizukage, but controlling one of them, presumably Yagura because Madara can control the tailed beasts and such.--SixthMizukage (talk) 22:34, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * With the focus on Kisame in the latest chapters, we might actually get a flashback shedding light on this issue soon. For now, all we know is that Kisame called him a Mizukage. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:40, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

I see, I'll look up some spoilers today then, thanks.--SixthMizukage (talk) 22:48, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh, and I see that the spoilers were translated by you too. Thanks and well done.--SixthMizukage (talk) 22:52, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

We seem to have some light on this speculation now, Madara appears behind the forth Mizukage and only Kisame mentions him something like he being the man whos controlling the kage in essence the true mizukage. That plus the fact that he said i thought he was dead (refering to Madara) and NOT anything in the line of him being a previous mizukage i think it was only a nickname or just the way Kisame saw him.--FlameSkarr (talk) 12:43, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Vulnerable to Amataseru still
Just a thought, but the way Madara has been throwing his teleportation jutsu around now and during the 9 Tailed invasion, that Itachi probably knew about it and what it could do, and still thought Amataseru would work. I know this borders on speculation and threatens to turn this site into a forum, but I am hoping these details relate mostly to facts that we have all already observed. If you believe it is too much speculation, feel free to remove it. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:04, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're suggesting Amaterasu has some special quality, I think it's more likely that Itachi assumed Madara would need to solidify himself in order to remove his mask and reveal his Sharingan. ~SnapperTo 20:58, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * But not after the fire took hold? Just let it fall through him? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 23:20, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes that is a good point, but that doesn't mean it has special properties. After all the poison nano bugs caused him to lose his arm, even though he could have become intangible and make them fall out. He did put out the flames, despite them being stated as inextinguishable under normal means. He seemed to expect Itachi would implant Amaterasu in Sasuke, but wanted to be sure so let the flames flames hit him. The effect of Amaterasu is near instantaneous just as the vision that guides it. Madara wouldn't have been able to dodge the technique even with his teleportation technique due to it being implied as being slower than the Flying Thunder God which is instantaneous.WolfMaster (talk) 23:51, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * He seems to suggest escaping Amaterasu was because of some other, as yet unseen, ability, not his intang-ability. ~SnapperTo 00:59, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is what I am wondering. Itachi would probably have known by then what Madara could do, and was expecting it to work. I thought though the bugs got in while he was tangible, and they may have been too attached (I see them like nano-bots grabbing onto cells) to just fall out. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:00, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Background: Organization
I have managed to annoy a few people lately so I thought I would do this via talk page first, but I was wondering if we could just break Madara's history up into something like Before Foundation of Konoha, Foundation of Konoha, Land of the Mists, Nine-Tailed Attack, since his history keeps expanding, and it is becoming a tad blurred for my liking; not aesthetically pleasing even. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:44, September 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Part of the problem is clumping all of the information that happened at an unknown date together. So, maybe not a section for each chapter of his life but just a section where all gray areas of the timeline are given in bullet point. ~SnapperTo 22:39, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * So group the dates we know to when we know happened (the stuff involving Konoha for instance) together, and the unknown stuff (Mist Village) in its own section? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 19:19, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Like what I already did. ~SnapperTo 19:28, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not exactly what I was getting at, but it shall suffice. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 00:15, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * His organization was Uchiha Clan. He took leadership and controlled it until he left it. It isnt instant until he joins Akatsuki, but he never mentions about any other organization so in my belief its Uchiha Clan and Akatsuki : the 2 organizations he was in. We cant tell that hes from mist, becouse Kisame Hoshigaki notices him controlling the Mizukage with Sharingan. But i cant say its 100% true, since all his life he was always moving across countries so we cant say he wasnt involved in any other organization. Lure.d (talk) 04:12, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Minor Confusion: vs. Konan
When Konan had Madara surrounded by paper, did he somehow push it all away so that he would be able to grab her? I was not sure what exactly happened. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 20:52, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm guessing he simply found natural opening to rematerialize into. --RinneganLov63 (talk) 21:13, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Also, what is he doing here? Hovering? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:48, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Falling? —ShounenSuki (talk 09:53, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Would be reasonable, but almost seems like he is standing still. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 19:03, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hidden Stash
I wonder if Madara has a hidden stash of arms somewheres or something? He's already lost it twice now. SkyFlicker (talk) 23:20, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's just a flesh wound! —ShounenSuki (talk 23:36, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lost a hand to the fourth too, but that does not look like human flesh, or normal flesh at least, to me. And whoever did that video has no concept of chainmail. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:45, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * "whoever did that video has no concept of chainmail" OMFG... WTF... is wrong... with the world. Arrancar79 (talk) 03:36, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stuff like that which makes people wonder why people wear armour in the first place!! Thinking that people just blundered around in metal for the fun of it!! Off topic though. What about those arms and hands? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 05:03, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think Arrancar was aiming at your woeful lack of knowledge of Monthy Python...
 * We'll find out about Madara's limbs in due time. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:52, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Tsukiyomi
Madara himself has said that his plan is to become the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, then cast a Tsukiyomi on the moon to put everyone in a trance, correct? Well in order for that to occur, Madara would have to know Tsukiyomi. So, why isn't it listed in his abilities, and why isn't he on the list of users?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 03:05, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Or maybe he can't use it until the Ten-Tails is sealed into him? ~SnapperTo 05:48, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Possibly, but from the information currently known, the Ten-Tails is only needed for the infinite Tsukiyomi, not the average version. Along with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the mentions of his past strength and ability in using the sharingan, it would be dafe to assume that he is, or at least was capable of using Tsukiyomi. And even if he is not capable of using it at the moment, it should still be added, due to the fact that, despite no longer being able to use either, Body Shedding and Cursed Seal of Heaven are both still among the list of Sasuke Uchiha's jutsu.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 06:02, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Surgical Knowledge and Ability
How can Madara's replacing his limbs be considered surgical ability or knowledge? Surgical Knowledge is the capability of performing medical operations, in Madara's case without medical ninjutsu. How he replaced his arm is entirely unknown; it can't even be clearly classified as any type of technique or jutsu. For all we know, it could be Zetsu regurgitating devoured limbs or the stored limb of a corpse (sorry for the examples, but it's to make a point). From what can be seen, Madara didn't have to perform any surgery on himself or the limb to attach it. Hardly anything's known about the procedure, so it can't be considered surgical knowledge or ability, at least until more has been seen concerning this. This also removes the confirmed information of Madara removing and preserving Itachi's eyes, transplanting said eyes to Sasuke successfully, and even, with or without assistance, transplanting his brothers eyes to himself despite blindess (the second being most likely, since no-one really knows how he got the eyes from his brother).--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 07:17, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * first of all it was not properly discussed, you made this and suddenly just added it when no one responded. Asside from that there is so little knowledge that two of the users don't belive it deserves it own section. Adding the part that he was able to transplate his brother's eyes and then the part were there is no knowledge that he recieved help. That last part makes it to vague and too speculative. Also seeing how we know he was able to do it with Sasuke, makes writting his possible abillity to perform on himself to redundant. Also we do not remove it, we only sort it under another section were it fits better. --Gojita (talk) 21:13, September 15, 2010 (UTC)Gojita


 * I added this information in its own sections weeks, if not months ago, with absolutely no complaints from any other Users. I made a point to mention that whether or not he recieved help is unknown, to state that there is a reasonable possibility that he did have assistance, but it is also possible he did it on his own. The fact that he is the only character so far who has been able to perform such actions, without known medical jutsu, is quite unique, and deserves a special mention.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 21:19, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it should be put were the other General skills and abilities are until we gather more intelligence, so to speak. FullMetalXY (talk) 21:26, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * But this is far from a general skill. Aside from medic-nin, there is no-one else who can perform surgery, with or without medical jutsu. Madara is most deffinitely not a medic-nin, with no known medical jutsu at his disposal, yet he was capable of performing surgery at least two times, maybe three.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 21:30, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * Secondly: Wow isn't that about surgical ability without beeing a medic-nin a little bit to speculative. Medical and Surgical knowledge is a vague concept in the Naruto universe and Kishi have not revealed much about it. This i belive fits best under the general skills section until we can get a more clear description of how exactly he is doing it --Gojita (talk) 21:35, September 15, 2010 (UTC)Gojita

Yeah, I can understand your point. My major concern is with the lack of intelligence. We don't really know if he sews his arms back on or if they are put on by other means or if he didn't have help transplanting Itachi Uchicha's eyes. It's just like somoone saying he is Scientist cause he has a laboratory. See what I'm saying? FullMetalXY (talk) 21:37, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Gojita, it belongs with general skills until we have more info.--Deva 27 (talk) 21:39, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, sewing his arms on I agree with; we have no idea where or how he gets those limbs, nor how he attaches them. I specifically mentioned that in my first post on this section. However, transplanting Itachi's eyes is pretty much a no-brainer. You think Zetsu is some sort of medic-nin?--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 21:40, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Little is known about Zetsu. He could be for all we know. Or there could be some other way Sharingans are transplanted. The point is we don't know. We should wait until we are able to concretely confirm this. Okay? --FullMetalXY (talk) 21:43, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

No, there is no other way for the eyes to be transplanted. In a flashback, Madara was shown about to take out his brother's eyes. In Kakashi Gaiden, Rin was shown trasnplanting Obito's eye to Kakashi. In a genjutsu, Itachi plucked out one of Sasuke's eyes. Madara had to remove and preserve Itachi's eyes for transplantation, and Sasuke was shown after the fact recovering from the surgery. If something isn't known for 100% certainty, it's decided by known information. Known information places Zetsu far from being a medic-nin (he'd sooner eat them rather than perform surgery on them), there is no other way to transplant sharingan eyes, there is no-one who could have helped Madara, and Madara is the only character so far who can perform surgery despite no medic-nin training.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 21:53, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Rin was a Medic Ninja with Mystical Palm. We still have not seen any evidence so far that Uchicha Madara has the surgical ability to implant a Sharingan eye into himself or another person unaided. A flash black showing Madara about to takeout his brothers eyes is not showing him implanting it, it simply shows him reaching out to his brothers eyes. How do we know that he wasn't just taking them out and giving them to medics in his clan? We don't do we? Itachi plucking Sasukes eyes in a Genjutsu (Illusion!) is not evidence either. Madara preserving Itachis eyes does not automatically mean he himself will perform the operation. We cannot say there is no one who could help Madara, we do not know that yet. I can slightly agree to what you said about Zetsu. He is mostly for surveillance. Any how it is better to wait to find conclusive conscrete proof than jump to conclusions. It's not a big deal for it to be moved to general skills when there is so little known about his "Surgical Abilities". In any case we need to come to an agreement to avoid silly editing wars. I call for a vote, if thats possible? :)--FullMetalXY (talk) 22:07, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

You are twisting the meaning of my words. Those examples were to disprove the idea that the sharingan eyes cannot be transplanted any other way. As for getting aid from clan medics, since no-one knew how he got his brother's eyes, including his own clan, I doubt the medics assisted him. As for transplanting Itachi's eyes; there was no-one else present when the eyes were transplanted, there was no-one else present with known medical experience. As for going by known information rather than waiting for explicit evidence, ask the admins of this wiki, because that's how they do things.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 22:14, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Something being unusual doesn't mean it should get its own section. We know Tobirama used spacetime ninjutsu and Edo Tensei, the first being something hardly used as a main style and the second one known to three people. They don't get their own sections in his page. I agree with Snapper2 and Deva 27. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:20, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

True enough, but Madara's surgical knowledge has been shown more than once. And if this should be removed, then why not this? That is a perfectly trivial, useless "ability", yet it is given its own section.

Can you describe what and when Madara's surgical skills have been displayed please? Have we actually visually seen any surgery performed by Madara Uchicha in Manga with out guessing.--FullMetalXY (talk) 22:33, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

First, when he had revealed that he had removed and preserved Itachi's eyes. Both would require surgical knowledge (how to remove them and what to use to preserve them). Then, he transplanted said eyes to Sasuke with no known assistance, successfully. Then, there was the transplant of his own brother's eyes, with or without assistance. And looking at one of your comments Gojita, I would like to point out that I most deffinitely did not lie; if you bothered looking at the main page's history, you'd see that I added this information weeks or months ago.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 22:38, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I don't ever remember him stating that he himself removed the eyes (Even if he did it wouldn't denote surgical ability as he could have simply plucked them out in a similar fashion to the way Itachi did in Tsukuyomi). Nor did we actually see Madara transplant the eyes but Madara did display knowledge that he knew Sasuke needed recuperation but that was probably due to his own experience after the surgery that was done on him. And we don't know if the surgery done on him was by his own hand, by medics or was aided by some one. The same with the operation on Sasuke. So in the end its up to guessing. Just like everyone else I say this doesn't have a enough merit to have its own section. 'Nuff Said. : )--FullMetalXY (talk) 22:52, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Alright look; there was no-one else in the room when Sasuke was recuperating from the surgery. Unless there was some invisble character that will never be shown or named, Madara did it on his own. In terms of removing the eyes, I seriously doubt Madara would trust anyone else to remove the eyes. He also would have had to be able to remove the eyes without damaging them (on a side note, I find it funny how you said Tsukiyomi didn't count when I used it as an example, yet it counts for you despite still being an illusion), and would have to know how to preserve them.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 22:57, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

No I said that it was an illusion so I did not count for surgical ability. I didn't say anything about the plucking out of eyes. Lol. Lets not argue please. Thanks. As for the Invisible Character, may be he she left after the operation since we never witnessed the operation? Whether you seriously doubt anything is irrelevant, all that matters are it is cold hard facts. When I see Madara in a doctors robe transplanting eyes is when this section will garner further merit. 'Nuff said.--FullMetalXY (talk) 23:04, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well you are never going to see that. However, there is a difference between assumptions, guessing, and common sense. There was no-one else seen after the surgery, so believing that someone else assisted him despite no-one being seen is more of a guess than believing Madara did it himself. As for Tsukiyomi, it goes both ways. As an illusion nothing shown in it can be taken into 100% belief.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 23:08, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

There was no-one else seen after the surgery? Fact. The Surgery was not seen? Fact. Guessing implies that there is no factual evidence to support claim. Madara performed the surgery himself? UNKNOWN at this moment, but plausible. That simple enough?--FullMetalXY (talk) 23:23, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think that both limb regeneration and surgical/medical skills should be mentioned. However, because limb regeneration is something we actually saw in the manga, more than once, and likely once more, since Konan trashed his arm, it should have its own section. Surgical/medical skill should be mentioned, because nothing implies Madara had help in removing, conserving and transplanting Itachi's eyes. He also had Danzo in a table, suggesting he wanted to remove Shisui's eye from him as well. I won't count the transplant of Izuna's eyes to him as an example, because that was a genjutsu flashback, and we don't know what happened in between those scenes, nor how much time passed. With Sasuke, we saw Sasuke saying he wanted the eyes, and not long after, eyes were already transplanted, and nothing suggests Madara had help. Since it's something we didn't actually see, it's something we infer from what we see, I don't think it should have its own section, being mentioned in the general skill section.

Fair enough. Especially about the limb replacement thingy. Definately gotta be mentioned.--FullMetalXY (talk) 23:36, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

So long as the surgical ability and knowledge isn't reduced to simply two sentences, I guess I can deal with that. However, the limb regeneration might be iffy. It may have been seen more times, but even less is known about how it works. Don't know who or what does it, how it's done, or what type of technique it is, or what exactly it entails.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round 23:39, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

The Limb Regenaration thing could possibly go either way in my opinion. The problem is there is little known about its mechanisms and workings and such. We know he can replace limbs but we don't know how. So?????--FullMetalXY (talk) 23:43, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think the fact that no surgery has been seen is no guarantee that Madara has no skill with it, first of all he is one of, if not the most skilled characters currently active in the series and has lived longer than any other curently seen character (except maybe kakkuzu?) he had ample time in hiding to learn surgical skills. Second, surgery is a long and drawn out process, even the most simple surgical procedures take a while to do, and removal of an eye is not simple, we have seen madara preparing for surgery/autopsy on danzo, and with sasuke after his eye transplant, perhaps kishimoto simply didnt want to waste time drawing 20 odd panels detailing a surgery when showing another part of the story, and returning to madara later on gives an idea of time passing. Finally, we really have no idea what surgery actually entails in NARUTO, the same rules my not apply to human physiology, in fact we know this because there is an additional circulatory system for chakra, and kimmimaro was mentioned to have had a different physiology to most humans. im not saying he can or cant do surgery, or that he could or couldnt transfer the eyes/arms himself, im just saying the lack of evidence may just be an artistic/time based choice by Kishimoto. 81.98.252.151 (talk) 10:41, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Mizukage means he couldn't have used Izanagi against HASHIRAMA, as he would have lost one of his eyes then, and not have the chance to use it again against Konan without losing his other eye and becoming blind (not to mention he wouldn't be able to have discovered Nagato's location without his right eye).

They never said Izanagi works only with the regular Sharingan. For all we know it could also blind the EMS, which was said only to not go blind from use of MS techniques. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:39, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

He might not have lost his eye when he used IZanagi. This is just a theory. When you use Izanagi with a sharingan you lose your eyes that's already proven. When you use Mangekyou Jutsus with a regular MS sharingan, the eye goes blind depending on use. The EMS no longer goes bling to Ms jutsus.So maybe Izanagi with an EMS might go blind for a certain period of time or might go blind in time, like the Ms jutsus did with a regular Ms. he probably use Izanagi on the first hokage to fake his death, and in time his eye gained its light again. I say this because maadara has been proven to be really smart in both battle tack ticks and in general life, so i don't believe he would just throw his eye away. Or he might implant Riningan in to hies left eye. rigoberto60 (talk) 01:51, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe he did use Izanagi during his fight with Hashirama and just replaced it later, he does have a room full of corpses.

Danzō didn't have Mangekyō Sharingan. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was only said to resist blindness induced by use of Mangekyō Sharingan techniques. Izanagi isn't a Mangekyō Sharingan technique, so the user may still go blind. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:19, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I think it refers to the 6 people who are decendants of the sage of 6 paths. 1,himself. 2,hashirama senju. 3,nagato uzumaki. the uzumakis are relatives and madara said he was one. these are just those i suspect of being the other 3 paths. 4,naruto uzumaki. 5,sasuke uchiha. 6,tsunade senju. that makes 2 from each of the sages 3 decended clans.Light sage96 (talk) 15:51, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

I actually dont think so because Madara stated that he wanted to be complete. So i think: 1.Ushiha Blood, 2. Senju Body or Blood, 3. Rinnegan, 4. the Bijuu, 5. unknown 6. unknown --> He wants to be the 2. Sage of the Six Paths and needs his abilitys for that

I'm intrigued by the concept of there being 6 different 'paths' (presumed) that Madara needs to "collect" or "become one with". I'm curious as to what the other three could be.

I think He refers to these: Senju and Uchiha blood. the other 4 could be Uzumaki blood (as a relative of senju)... and maybe hyuuga blood (as a reletive of uchiha)and two other clans may be the sarutobi clan and the shimura clan... the last part is only speculation so it could be crap.

This is a mistranslation: actually Madara calls himself "Second Rikudou", because he has the ability of the manipulation of the Yin and the Yang type of chakra (thanks to the power of the Uchiha and of the Senju): in his definition, anyone can use simultaneously the Yin-Yang natures of chakra for the release of tecniques (for exemple as a perfect Izanagi) can be described as a Rikudou: Nagato could do with the Rinnegan, which is why Madara calls him "Third Rikuodu.

Remember: Yamato creates a clone using mokuton. Madara could use the same principle to create an arm. This iwas only speculation so is probably not true. However as I said... To use izanagi Danzo had a mokuton arm... this could mean that mokuton is needed for izanagi. In fact mokuton's special thing is that the user isn't just manipulating plant life... but creating life. while the sharingan uses more yin release, mokuton uses yang release to create life. Thogether they create yin yang... needed to use izanagi. Also he said powers... All of them ... not 1 or 2 ...all of them. --MadaraCami (talk) 20:39, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Surely, he was reffering to the earlier part of the series where he explaind that the sage's power was split in two and that the uchiha ancestor had the eyes and the spiritual powers and the senju ancestor had the body and the physical power, therefore when he gained hashirama's power he gained the physical aspect of the sages abilies and thus became a rikudo, if you seriously think that madara has copied mokuton the go back to school and learn to actually read, the sharingan CANNOT COPY KEKKAI GENKAI, also mokuton is cosidered one of the most powerful kekkai genkai in the series, even kisame thought twice about going up against yamato, and everyone who has witnessed it has been impressed or scared by it, if madara genuinely had it dont you think he would have used against Danzo, or Minato?

The correct translation is: "I am the Uchiha Madara that obtained the power of Senju Hashirama! As the second Rikudou, both are now one being!.

Moreover, the theory does not work because Madara said that he has obtained the power of Senjuu after the fight with Hashirama In The Valley Of The End. And it is only after that battle and his "death" that Madara has begun to wear a mask (the one we see during his meeting with Itachi), even if during his meeting with Kisame, which occurred long before, Madara even wore a mask.--JK88 (talk) 19:23, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

The link is here: http://www.inaruto.net/spoilers/naruto-510-spoilers/ You can see the translation of Shunensuki also in his talk page. Moreover, in these two posts, there are the translation of the passage by an user of Mangahelpers that can explain better than I could ever do (I don't know the Japanese) the reasons of the translation and of the misunderstanding:

 * I just want to make sure I understand. So the correct translation basically means that Madara had considered himself the Second Second Sage of Six Paths, and with the "power" of Senju Hashirama, he is complete. By contrast, the mistranslation implied there were other people he needed to gain powers from, one for each path, in order to achieve full strength. More or less right? XRoadToDawnX (talk) 04:25, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes you are right, but specifically, Madara considered himself Second Rikudou because he has the "power" of Hashirama and the "power" of the Uchiha, that allow him to use the manipulation of yin and yang. Practically he considered "Rikudou" anyone can manipulate concurrently both the Yin and Yang (Nagato could do because he had the Rinnegan).--JK88 (talk) 09:39, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Mangekyo NIne-Tails Controll
As stated by the tablet and confirmed by Itachi, the power to controll the nine-tails is derived from the Mangekyou. Therefore i believe that his abillity to controll it should be written under the Mangekyo section not the regular sharingan section, even though he did show his regular sharingan when doing it.
