Any die-hard Naruto fan will quiver at the mention of Madara Uchiha’s name. The legendary leader of the Uchiha clan is one of the most notorious villains in the entire manga. The mere mention of this great Shinobi’s name was enough to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. He alone was enough to unify them all and trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War. To ensure that his notoriety is never forgotten, I’ve decided to write down my best Madara Uchiha quotes.
But before I go on, I do want to clear something up. I think that Madara was one of the most complex characters in the entire series. Even though he was considered to be a villain, he has still left a mark on every person he’s ever met. Without Madara, Sasuke never would’ve become the man he was, and the whole story would’ve looked a lot different.
