Black Zetsu's plan had been formulated very smoothly.
The only problem was that carrying it out was not quite so seamless.
Because arranging for Madara Uchiha and Shirou Emiya to meet in Konoha was unrealistic. Mito Uzumaki's powerful sensory abilities would surely prevent Madara Uchiha from setting foot there rashly.
For example...

Tobirama Senju was extremely displeased when he learned the news, but there was nothing he could do about Madara Uchiha. No one in Konoha could hunt Madara Uchiha down now.
