Background
Madara as he appeared during Konoha's founding.
Decades
before the start of the series, Madara grew up in constant competition
with his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, who were both known as the most
gifted members of their clan. Their competition led to both gaining the
Mangekyo Sharingan, and, with it, they were able to take control of the
Uchiha clan, Madara acting as its leader. Even by his clan's standards,
Madara's chakra was unusually strong. Under his leadership, the clan
conquered all they came across, but, over time, he began to lose his
sight because of the Mangekyo Sharingan. To regain his vision, he took
his brother's eyes (an act Madara said his brother had consented to),
allowing him to continue to lead the Uchiha to prosperity.
In
the years that followed, the Uchiha constantly clashed with the equally
powerful Senju clan. To bring an end to the constant fighting, the
leader of the Senju, Hashirama Senju, approached Madara with an
offering of peace. Although Madara never wanted peace with the Senju,
the rest of the Uchiha wanted to end the fighting, and Madara had no
choice but to go along with their decision. The Senju, the Uchiha, and
all the clans they had conquered came together to form the village of
Konohagakure. Against Madara's wishes, the villagers selected Hashirama
as the village's First Hokage. Madara feared that Hashirama would
oppress the Uchiha, and tried to rally support for challenging his
leadership. Rather than help him, however, the Uchiha turned their
backs on him, believing his only motive was greed.

Abandoned
by his clan, Madara left the village so that he could return to
challenge Hashirama in battle. They fought at the site that would
someday be called the Valley of the End, where, although Madara called
upon the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, he was defeated, and was believed to
have died. Madara faded into memory, and, in time, would found Akatsuki
and become Kirigakure's Mizukage.
Twelve years before the start
of the series, the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha. Although Madara denied
having had any involvement in the attack, Itachi Uchiha and Minato
Namikaze said that the Nine-Tails was under Madara's control at the
time. A few years later, he infiltrated Konoha to try and rekindle the
flames of war. He was found by Itachi first, who convinced Madara to
spare the village in exchange for helping to wipe out the Uchiha clan
for deserting him decades earlier. Madara complied, training Itachi and
providing assistance. Itachi never truly trusted Madara, however, and
kept an eye on him for the rest of his life.
