He rejected Hashirama's suggestion of proving himself worthy of the title to the village and promptly left Konoha, while telling Hashirama that he intends to make his dream a reality. Madara knew that Hashirama would be unable to name him his successor and that Tobirama would become Second Hokage. Taking great offense to the act, Madara attempted to rally his kin to stand against the Senjus, but his clan regarded his mistrust as lust for violence and turned their backs on him, incensing him even more. Though considered to become the First Hokage (Lord of Konoha) by Hashirama, Madara was robbed of the title when Tobirama stated that it should be decided via popular vote, a vote that elected Hashirama (as many were wary of Madara's thirst for power). This led to the creation of Konohagakure, the Village Hidden the Leaves (a name Madara chose), the first of the Five Shinobi Nations. After Madara was once again defeated in spite of his newfound power, he finally accepted peace upon seeing that Hashirama was willing to kill himself to prove his resolve. Later, as the Mangekyo Sharingan was making him blind, he accepted Izuna's dying request and transplanted his eyes, awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Madara refused Hashirama's offered truce at Izuna's request and fled with his brother. (Tobi has said however that many Uchiha shared Hashirama’s feelings and tried to push Madara to accept.)ĭuring a battle with the Senju clan, Madara fought evenly against Hashirama, but Izuna was fatally wounded by Hashirama's younger brother Tobirama. Hashirama repeatedly offered a truce but Madara refused it, as he came to regard their past friendship as a mistake. As the leader of the Uchiha, Madara had to fight countless times against Hashirama, who had become leader of the Senju. Madara Uchiha and his brother Izuna eventually awoke their clan's greatest ability, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and became their leaders. Seeing that the conflict was inevitable, Madara immediately relinquished his friendship with Hashirama and declared him his enemy, as he valued his family and his last living brother more. Unfortunately, upon learning of the other's identity, they were forced by their fathers to stage an ambush, while managing to warn the other. Like Hashirama, Madara hated the senseless slaughter of children forced to fight in the battlefield. As a child, Madara befriended Hashirama Senju, both unaware that the other was their family's mortal enemy at the time. This was an era of permanent war, in which ninja were forbidden to tell their last names to strangers and were forced to fight and risk their lives at a very young age, many of them never going past childhood with many children also dying in the process. (It was later revealed that their feud was manipulated by Black Zetsu from behind the scenes.) Through the brothers' conflict for succession after their father's death, the Senju and the Uchiha were bound by conflict throughout history as mortal enemies. While the Senju descended from the younger son, who inherited his father's strength and ideals, the Uchiha descended from the elder brother, who inherited the Sage's eyes and power. The most powerful clans in existence were the Uchiha and the Senju, both descendants of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: the legendary Sage of the Six Paths.

In these times, ninja were organized as clans of mercenaries hired by the lords of warring nations. Madara Uchiha was born around a century before the start of the story.
