In the vast world of Naruto, Madara Uchiha is probably the biggest villain to ever exist who went to fight and almost won against the five nations. Madara is regarded as a renowned shinobi. He was the adversary of the so-called “God of Shinobi,” Hashirama Senju. Madara’s only purpose in life was to realize his dream of casting Infinite Tsukuyomi over the globe.
Being a legend, Madara was skilled in many areas and possessed several traits that shaped his personality; this contributed to the fact that his name endured for decades after his passing. He captured the hearts of the supporters with his charm, and his mere presence alone turned the tide of any fight he was involved in.
However, one question that many fans had regarding Madara Uchiha was why he never had kids or got married at least. Being from one of the strongest clans of Konoha, Madara having an heir would have surely helped in the growth of the Uchiha clan, but Madara had other plans and the real reason why he never had kids is much more sinister.
Madara Uchiha Never Had Kids
Madara never got married and never had children. He decided to live single and pursue his dream through unconventional means for a purpose. Madara harbored a great hatred for the Senju after losing all of his brothers, especially Izuna, whom he cherished above all else.
Madara aspired to be a deity capable of ruling his perfect world and guaranteeing that peace would never be disturbed. Madara’s desire to use his Infinite Tsukoyomi’s plan to rule over all of world peace was the driving force behind his god complex. No matter what, Madara could never leave his heir or companion to carry out his dream without him.
His pride and the death of his brother prevented him from ever trusting anyone else. Following the theory that the goal justifies the means, he abandoned his love for Konoha and made the infinite Tsukuyomi plan his top concern.

Madara Never Trusted Anyone With His Plan
Maybe Madara could have found a partner in life to have children with if he had grown up in a very different environment and held similar beliefs to Hashirama. But Madara trusted no one in this world but himself.
One of the reasons he was never able to develop affection for a companion was his sense of entitlement and obsession with himself. He had no desire to start a family or get married. Madara’s idea of starting a family is completely at odds with his beliefs.
His ideology of peace was his wanting to be a god, someone who could cast a genjutsu over everyone and rule the entire world. Although Madara Uchiha having a kid certainly would have brought a new twist to the story, it would have affected his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and he would not have been the cruel devious villain that fans fall in love with.
