Just like masked man, Madara five kage summit, and tobi, you do not know the identity of GNW Madara up until it is revealed in the anime. That is why those characters won't be categorized as a leaf ninja. When we get obito, as the jinchuriki or any other version where we know it is him at that the time of the anime for this game, then he should be listed as a leaf ninja.

no he told everyone he was madara at that point everyone believed him and uchihas originate from the leaf the least they can do is add it in his category

edo itachi used his susano's sword to seal nagato so why is he not categorized as a sword ninja

susano itachi's standard is a swing from the susano sword he isn't categorized as a sword ninja

madara's mystery is a four bladed attack but hes not classified as a sword ninja and his ninja tool is a blade

gwn madara/obito uses the ninja tool yet he isn't categorized

The missing sword tag is likely due to balancing reasons.

Tsunade is not classified as senjutsu.

Guess why.

maskman has konoha tag though

i think this is bcuz susanoo is just physical chakra, not real sword

Btw, do i remember wrong or gnw madara was actually a zetsu?

Same reasons why Orochimaru [Konoha Traitor] is the only one who doesn't have sword tag in all Orochimaru forms.

he used a real sword against kabuto in the series

the sword he used at that time in the series belonged to sasuke, not to him.

does it matter and the ninja tool obito use can be classified as a sword

From my understanding madara's weapons isn't a sword but a fan, and as the same as itachi, the sword belongs to his susanoo not to him.

he used it like a sword I just want the Konoha tag on gnw madara

ten ten uses the fan ninja tool madara doesn't

Each ninja tool can look differently, not all fans or swords look the same... also if you go to ninja tool section (the ones you get from TI), and look at the red Fan (in case you have it already), you can clearly see it is (or looks REALLY similar) to madara's weapon.

I believe that Itachi's Totsuka Blade is actually not really a sword. The Totsuke Blade is a sort of liquid released from the gourd that Itachi wields and only forming into a blade like shape (according to the wiki at least)

https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_of_Totsuka

Plus I think it would be weird to call Itachi in his Susanoo form a Sword Ninja since I would only consider ninjas with an actual metal blade a sword ninja (including Orochimaru who has his snake sword stored inside of him, he's not using it with his hands most of the time though).

GNW Madara (Obito at the time) is the aftermath of Obito retrieving Madara's Rinnegan from Nagato after Nagato passed away. Following Obito's ac*ulation of the Rinnegan, he changes his mask. Your Zetsu claim is partially correct in that following Obito's childhood injury, Madara had already been making white Zetsu clones from cultivating Hashirama cells. To help heal Obito, Madara cultivated Obito with Hashirama's cells as well. This is why Obito c*e his eye's Kamui at a much faster rate than his counterpart in Kakashi, as the chakra supply isn't being continuously resupplied like one's supply would if they had Hashirama's cells in them.

I made a thread on this a while back, stating that masked man was a konoha ninja, so why couldn't madara five kage summit be konoha, but the thread just died. I guess they can't really change it.
