I was wondering if, how did madara survive?After all these years. If he lived at the time when konoha was being founded, He should be dead right now. If you have some theory about this please comment.
Why is eveyone looking so far forthe answer? Madara gave us that answer already.
Madara said Uchiha was blessed with The sages EYES & his Powerful SPRITUAL ENERGY:

*Note The Eyes are mentioned separate from the spiritual Energy which could meen they don't have to go together, hence the reason Madara could just change his eye's.*
Madara also explained to us the workings of Izanagi where yin chakra (Spiritual Energy) creates a form while yang chakra (life Energy) breathes life into it. This is how Madara said the sage created.

Now this explination of Izanagi should tell us a little of how Madara was able to survive. Madara claimed to be born with the greatest strongest chakra the Uchiha had ever seen.

Lets put it together now:
The uchiha was gifted with The sage's SPIRITUAL ENERGY and eyes.
Madara was said to be born with the greatest Strongest chakra known to the Uchiha. Therefore his spiritual Energy would be the greates among them.
From Izanagi we know Spiritual Energy provides form and Physical energy Gives Life. Every human consists of a balance of both Physical and spiritual energy, ninja use this balance to form chakra.
Now for the conclusion - Madara's Spiritual Energy (Form) was so great that Hashirama succeeded in killing Madara's Life energy But his Spirtual energy still clung to what little life he had left. The DNA he stole from Hashirama.
MADARA SAID IT HIMSELF HE IS A SHELL OF HIS FORMER SELF........ which means his form is here living through another life force. - THE ZETSU WICH HE USED HASHIRAMA TO MAKE.
