During the end of the series when Madara thought the battle was over he was attacked by Tobirama here:

Much similar to how Izuna died

Madara says this to Tobirama as if he was expecting it.

Madara is no fool as he constantly kept track on who he was fighting and potentially their locations as stated when Sasuke attacked him

With the information provided and the dialogue shown throughout each situation its safe to assume that Izuna was killed because he let his guard down believing Tobirama was defeated much like how Madara was almost killed. In fact if it wasn't for Izuna being killed that same way Im willing to bet that Tobirama would have killed Madara as well.

For the nay-sayers who say "He had sage mode he could dodge"

Its been shown multiple times in the manga that S/T users are near impossible to dodge UNLESS you anticipate where they are going to appear. The fact that Madara had SM only is not a valid reason to say that is why he dodged it simply because EVEN Juubi-Jin Obito struggled to avoid S/T attacks and he is severely faster.

1) This is shown with Minato hitting Obito once then the second time he was caught because Obito knew. (Juubi Jin)


2) Tobirama striking Obito once with Naruto and then stating his FTG won't work a second time because Obito knows he's
tagged. (Juubi Jin)

3) Killer Bee stalemating Minato because he knew his tentacle was tagged.

Based on the information provided its safe to say that Madara survived because:

1) Izuna Death taught him to watch for Tobirama
2) He knew of Tobirama tactics
3) SM did help him but its dodging wasn't the sole reason he survived



Not just because he had SM.

If you go to the datebook and look up that slash, it literally says that it strikes the person's blind spot or when he/she's guard is down in the vital spot. In the caption they used izuna as an example. That alone would save you the trouble of creating this thread.

The rest about ftg is a correction for another story.

This is very likely.

Minato successfully struck Obito because he wasn't aware of the attack. Afterwards Obito gathers chakra in his back and Minato claims that the same trick won't work twice because he's anticipating it now.

The only point I disagree with is Tobirama killing Madara. Even a direct strike to the heart would likely have been healed by Hashirama's Sage Mode, so really, it was a wasted effort.
