Madara Uchiha - a small analysis

[Zol]

I think he was upset that Tobirama would become the next Hokage. That was a huge part of it. He knew that Tobirama would oppress the Uchihas. If you think about it, everything he said came true. If he hadn't relied on the "hate" of the world, his plan wouldn't have come to fruition. Both Nagato and Obito acted as they did because they lost people important to them. If that hadn't happen, His plan would've failed. So in a way, Nagato's and Obito's paths were tests to see if the world was as bad as he predicted. If they weren't, then the plan would collapse but if they were (which they were), then it just proved that the plan was necessary. He was also correct about Hashirama's system failing. Because now, the fighting is just as a bad if not worse then before the founding of villages. Instead of clans running around in bands, entire formal Militaries were created to fight each other. It's on a completely different scale, so much so that the names of the wars were named Shinobi world Wars. Even though kids don't have to die after the Founding of the Villages, Adults are dying more than ever. Hashirama's plan solved the first part of the problem: Making sure kids don't die. Madara is aiming for the second problem: Making sure adults don't die. And that is through Infinite Tsukuyomi. Madara isn't Aizen, he isn't mean or demoralizing. He genuinely wishes the best, it's just that no one (except Obito and Nagato, well not anymore) agree with him.

Yes, the prospect of Tobirama eventually becoming Hokage deeply worried Madara, but the decisive part was his discovery of the shinobi world's history with the Shinju, Kaguya and Hagoromo. He realized hat the world will never truly be at peace no matter how much they work for it. Most likely, the tensions with Tobirama were an indication to Madara that this destiny of endless quarrels will come true.

I disagree about the modern shinobi world being worse than the warring states era. As you said, kids aren't fighting for survival anymore, but the adults also aren't dying more than ever. Just look at how many adults we see living a normal person's life in Konoha, with working, relaxing in bars etc. Yes, there are more formal miltary units now, but for most of the time, the villages were in a cold war like state and not fighting on huge scales, the world wars were an exception.

But while this modern world is better than the warring states, it's never really been at peace, so the cycle of people fighting that Madara saw in the shinobi world's history is still going on...
