What are Madara Uchiha's weaknesses?


At his current state, how could Madara possibly be defeated?

Any physical attack/Taijutsu would be easily deflected by either:

  * The Susano'o 
  * The Gunbai (war fan, which proved to easily negate a Bijuudama) 
  * Shinra Tensei (which wasn't seen yet, but we have to assume he's capable of it).

> And I'm not even starting to talk about the Rikudo mode.

Any non-physical attack would be easily absorbed by the Preta Rinnegan path.
There aren't ~~m~~ any ultra-powerful genjutsu ninja who can hope to trap him
in a genjutsu for more than 2 seconds. And in the offshoot that something does
hurt him, he'd just regenerate. He's a zombie.

What weakness does Madara have that could be exploited to harm him? They'd
have to damage him badly to hope for a seal.




It does not seem like any of Madara's new abilities have a counter to sound
genjutsu, especially when boosted by Senjutsu / Sage mode. While sound
genjutsu and Senjutsu are both very rare, the manga has shown two examples of
different techniques of that type being effective against techniques that
Madara has recently gained.

The two Sage Toads' sound genjutsu is effective against the Rinnegan. When
Jiraiya had them use it in his battle with Pain, it was able to easily
overcome 3 paths of Pain.
