Okay this is basically two theories that are already noticed but I am making it concise. The jist of all this is that Madara is a huge liar and has tricked Obito, Nagato, and Hashirama. Madara's original plan was to kill Hashirama and attain his body to clone him and use his cells for his benefit (Rinnegan).
To start off, Madara originally tested the Moon's Eye Genjutsu on Hashirama to trick him into thinking he killed him.
From left to right you can see Madara using Mangekyo Sharingan as soon as he lost Kurama since he knew he could not win without the fox. The Genjutsu activates on the second panel with the full moon and you can see the symbols to mark the beginning. On the third panel Madara pretends to be surprised at Hashirama's Wood Clone but we already know Madara could see through those. You also see the Sharingan deactivate the Jutsu with that FWIP noise. By the last panels you see the Genjutsu wear off on Hashirama with the glint next to his face. Notice the same symbol appears as when the Jutsu was activated.
Later on Madara also used the Moon's Eye on Kakashi. That night was also during a full moon and noticed how Kakashi was surprised when he noticed he killed Rin.
Madara has been using Yan Release Rods to keep everyone in check with his will.
He even used the rods to manipulate Obito and Nagato.
Madara is not telling Obito the full story just like Obito didn't tell Nagato the full story. The Heretical Demon Statue is
NOT the original body of the ten-tails but Madara's attempt at re-creating or mimicking it. If the statue was the summon of the Rinnegan, then why would it need to be bound? That's what a contract is for.
After Madara failed to get Hashirama's body, he settled for the next best thing: Shinsuusenjuu. This creation has Hashirama's vitality within itself and Madara was able to use it as a consolation prize. Since it's not the original the Zetsu that sprout from the Heretical Demon Statue are degraded with but a portion of Hashirama's power. Basically Madara badly damaged Shinsuusenju's body and bound it to his will. Notice the Yan Release is used on the statue to form the rods and the chains that bind it. Notice the statue takes the same pose as Shinsuusenju and wears similar robes along with the same body type.
Madara was able to break the massive block that held the arms on Shinsuusenju's back and this left the wooden structures in its wake.
In short, Madara has been manipulating everyone with his Moon's Eye and Yin Rods and he took Shinsuusenju for his own. The degraded DNA he got from it resulted in White Zetsu and this is why his Rinnegan took so long to activate.
