Madara could be an Edo Tensei summoning done by Orochimaru. As we know edo tensei summoning don't stop even if the summoner is killed. They have to be sealed. Seeing how Kabuto has now perfected edo tensei he knows madara is a summoning. The fourth casket he summoned could be the casket madara was summoned from. Remember in the fight between Orochimaru and sarutobi Orochimaru summons three caskets one with the firsts inside, one with the second inside, and the third sarutobi prevented from opening. At first I thought it was the fourth hokage but later on you find out that you can't summon people who have had their souls seal by the dead demon seal so it couldn't have been minato. So who was in the third casket. An as we know the first was the one who created edo tensei. Madara himself says he fought the first in order to gain the powers of uchiha and senju. The uchiha clan gain the sage's eyes, the powerful chakra and spiritual energy will the senju clan has the sage's body; the willpower and physical energy. Well now since he is an edo tensei he has somewhat the sage's body. Idk if someone else has posted this theory or not so here it goes. Only a theory.
