To implement his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, Madara would have to get his
Rinnegan back. Given his propensity to plan everything, he had to have a plan
when he died the first time. How did he plan to get the Rinnegan back?

He could not have expected Nagato to die becase that was pretty random. What
he probably was expecting was that Nagato would be alive and that he would not
cooperate with himself or Obito. So did he think that black Zetsu could
overpower Nagato and order him to use Rinne Rebirth? But if Black Zetsu can
overpower a Ninja as powerful as Nagato could he not have simply overpowered
Hagoromo at the very beginning and be done with it?

The second possibility is that Black Zetsu can only overpower a ninja who has
already been weakened. There are apparently three versions of Edo Tensei:
Tobirama's, Orochimaru's, and Kabuto's. Madara could not have possibly known
about Kabuto's version (he died before it was developed), he may or may not
have known about Orochimaru's version. Was it not incredibly optimistic of him
to expect to defeat alive Nagato as either Tobirama-style or Orochimaru-style
Edo Tensei?

How was Madara so sure that he would be able to get his Rinnegan back?


As Madara himself said his plan was to be resurrected through the use of
[Rinne
Rebirth](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Outer_Path_%E2%80%94_Samsara_of_Heavenly_Life_Technique)
by Nagato. He was surprised and disappointed that his return didn't go as
planned. He didn't want the Edo Tensei, as only a living person can become the
Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

Considering that the usage of the Rinne Rebirth always comes at the cost of
the user's life it wouldn't be a problem for Madara to then take the Rinnegan
from Nagato's corpse.

How exactly they wanted to force Nagato to resurrect Madara is unknown. It
could be simply Obito convincing him that it would be the necessary next step
in their plan towards world peace or by forcing him to use it via Genjutsu or
a Zetsu takeover.

Nagato was far less powerful than Hagoromo. It pushed Nagato to the brink to
trap Naruto inside his Chibaku Tensei, which was - as he told Konan - nothing
compared to the creation of the moon by Hagoromo.
