Madara spent the whole time trying to capture senjutsu chakra, and was about to be sealed till he was saved. Naruto joining the party is irrelevant as madara was alread y paralyzed by wood style dragon. ...Madara showed he can absorb chakra without the Rinnegan remember? He used it to absorb Sasuke's Amaterasu.

Madara was buying time for Naruto and Sasuke to defeat Obito, and when that happened he put his plan into motion. The moment Hashirama was stabbed as the moment he lost.

And no, you're talking about Orochimaru's inferior Edo Tensei, NOT the version Madara was brought back with.

Madara showed he can absorb chakra WITHOUT the Rinnegan remember? If he used Preta Path, the Mokuton Ryu would be consumed since its a sealing jutsu not just a chakra aborbing technique. Hashirama was wrong, he never realized Madara was holding back nor did he recognize the danger of the chakra rods.
