Why was Madara feared?

[WithDemonsToLeanOn]

Because he's a villain with a menace about his way. Hashirama was peaceful and brought feelings of peace and hope. People knew Madara was about destruction and terror and wouldn't hesitate to kill you if you crossed him the wrong way.

 

[mohdzarif]

Apart from his power, he was evil. He was a villain stuff. Simple as that.

Hashirama on the other hand was a peaceful guy. He was a hero stuff.

People like a hero, people afraid of a villain.

Hashirama - hero. Madara - villain.
