Regarding Madara's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, there are three canon stories
on how he obtained it.

The first version is mentioned by Itachi, while explaining the Mangekyou to
Sasuke. In this version, he tells that Madara took his brother's eyes. Itachi
shows the scene to Sasuke through Genjutsu, where Madara places his fingers
over Izuna's eye and Izuna is surprised by the action. This would mean a
forceful extraction.

The second version is told by Obito, acting as Madara. He explains to Sasuke
that Izuna willingly gave his eyes to him (Madara), to protect the clan from
the dangers of the fame.

The third version is told by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, when he was
reincarnated by Orochimaru. He tells that Izuna succumbed to the wounds
(during the warring period) caused by Tobirama Senju. And it is assumed that
Madara took his brother's eyes after he died.

So which version is the actual one? Or is it a mix of all three?

How did Madara really obtain his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?


Based on the data that is provided by the story, we don't have enough
information to make a deduction. The only witnesses to the event were Madara
and Izuna.

While this means that Madara's account has greater credibillity than anyone
else, Madara has a reputation for deceiving people, such as Obito, with
complex webs of lies and staged events. As a result, we cannot consider him a
reliable information source.

**However** , based on information provided in the Naruto Data Book (Number 4,
page 37) on Izuna, Izuna gave his eyes willingly. So we can conclude that
Madara was telling the truth, at least in this case.

Madara loved Izuna more than anyone else. Izuna was his precious little
brother, he would never take his eyes by force. He took them after Tobirama
killed Izuna, in order to not let his death be in vain.
