I've seen the newest episodes of the anime, and I was thinking:

I understand that he didn't have the Rinnegan right after the battle with
Hashirama, but still, I can't imagine that his recovery from that battle would
be so long. He remained alive, and he was the strongest Uchiha, and one of the
strongest shinobi in the world (and now with the cells of Hashirama), so why
wait for someone (because Obito got to him by chance) if you can start what
you want, when you want? With his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he could have
built an organization like the Akatsuki, and played in the shadows, just as
Obito did. In this way he could have time to search for a pupil, and at the
same time, the organization members would search for the Tailed Beasts, and
after defeating them, keep them in a "vegetative state" until Madara awakens
his Rinnegan to manipulate the Gedo Statue and collect the Bijuu's before he
dies (note that he's able to steal the Gedo Statue's power, so with Tailed
Beasts inside it, he could have been much stronger, despite his age).

Then pass the Rinnegan to the pupil-> Rinne Tensei-> resurrected Madara has
his youth and force back, plus the Tailed Beasts are already in his
possession. (And MAYBE even his pupil would've survived and both of them would
possess the Rinnegan)-> straight way to Tsuki no Me plan.

Why didn't Madara start his own plan when he was still young?


Madara didn't know he was going to awaken the Rinnegan. He knew about the
story with the Sage of Six Paths and the Juubi, he also probably knew about
the existence of the Eternal Tsukuyomi. But without the Rinnegan, his plan
couldn't have succeeded at all (because the Rinnegan is needed for the Gedo
Mazo).

Since Madara didn't know he was going to awaken the Rinnegan, or what the
requirements were, he couldn't have started his plan.

Sure, in retrospect, if he had known he would awaken the Rinnegan at a later
point, starting to collect the Bijuu early might have been a clever move.

Note that even his current plan had flaws in it:

  * Obito never planned to resurrect Madara. It was Kabuto who made the fatal mistake of reanimating him (having been tempted by Black Zetsu with Madara's corpse), and thinking he could control him. Obito's plan was to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi himself, and create a world in which Rin lives.

> It was never Madara's plan to begin with. He was manipulated by Black Zetsu.

>> **" Seeing them, Madara announces himself the world's saviour, one who has
saved the world from itself by replacing the hells of reality with the heavens
of dreams. While he is proselytising, Black Zetsu stabs him in the back. Black
Zetsu reveals that it has never served Madara, but rather Kaguya Ōtsutsuki,
and that it has manipulated him for decades in order to bring about her
revival."** \--- Quoted from [Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
Strikes](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha#Kaguya_.C5.8Ctsutsuki_Strikes).

> Black Zetsu is the person who delayed the plan.
