After reading [this
question](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/13345/when-exactly-did-
madara-came-alive-after-his-defeat-against-hashirama), I realized that the
time Madara acquired Izanagi, was the same time he got the DNA of Senju Clan
from Hashirama. However, after an extensive review on their fight (Episode
626), I can't see where and when Madara bit Hashirama. It said in the wiki
that:

_"...To use Izanagi to its full potential, users must also have the genetic
traits of the Senju, who are also descended from the Sage.."_

Now, the question is when and where did Madara bite Hashirama? How come Madara
activated Izanagi (I assume on its full potential) just right after he
acquired the flesh/blood from Senju?

When did Uchiha Madara actually bite Hashirama Senju?


I haven't been keeping up with the anime (too many fillers...), so I don't
know whether this manga chapter has been covered or not, or if you are even
close to it. This was actually shown in one of the manga chapters quite
recently.

If you don't mind spoilers, here are links to a few pages from Naruto Chapter
681:

[Madara bites Hashirama](https://i.stack.imgur.com/v45X8.jpg)

[Madara uses Hashirama meat](https://i.stack.imgur.com/iITKE.jpg)

According to [Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi#Trivia):

> In the past, Uchiha clan members used this technique during an important
> battle that they had to win at all costs. However, they soon started to
> abuse the abilities granted by this technique and as such Izanami was
> created as a way to punish the abusers of Izanagi.

So, I am guessing that the Uchiha must have performed some experiments. Maybe
as long as you have the both trait in body you can use Izanagi immediately,
and Madara was aware of this. Since Madara clearly must have bit onto the
meat, he must have swallowed some blood, thus having the Senju trait in his
body. This is an assumption, though.

First of all, Izanagi has nothing to do with Senju powers. The requirement for
Izanagi is that you must be ready to sacrifice one sharingan. If you have more
than one, then you can cast it for as much as you have, which is the case with
Danzo. The power that is awaken by having both Senju and Uchiha power is
Rinnegan. Senju power however, can be used to extend the duration of Izanagi,
which is once again, is the case with Danzo.

Now, to the main question, Uchiha Madara bite Senju Hashirama during their
fight at the Valley of the End where it was believed Madara was killed by
Hashirama. It was actually Madara's Izanagi. Later, when he was nearing his
death, Madara awakens his Rinnegan. (Naruto Chapter 681)

You don't need senju cells for izanagi. Itachi used it on Kabuto. And he has
had nothing to do with cell transplanting and whatnot.
