Madara was a founding father of Konoha and of the Shinobi system. While he may not have created most of the rules and systems (that credit goes to Tobirama) he did found a village and at one point he strongly believed in cooperation. But did you ever stop to think that Madara formed a complete team? A four man cell, just like the standard Shinobi teams? In Part 1 we learn that Shinobi's act in teams of 4 and work together to achieve a common goal. Madara did this and served as the team leader. Okay, okay allow me to explain. Team 7 was formed, right? In part 2 and onward Kakashi served mostly as the mentor and an adviser to the group while Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura formed the combat team as seen in the Fourth Great Ninja War. When Madara recruited Obito shortly before he died, he made sure to build a 4-man cell as a team of his own. This team consisted of; Zetsu, Black Zetsu, Obito and Madara himself. For better or worse, they worked together to achieve the Red Eye Moon Plan. Now, I severely doubt that Madara thought about this at the time, but I just found it funny to think about. (In short, Team Madara did exist.) |
