"I suspect the reason Madara started the war is because in his current weakened state, and with few akatsuki members remaining to him, it would be too difficult for him to capture the hachibi and the kyuubi." - Gaara
With that little stunt Madara just pulled, he gave the entire ninja world a reason to unite against him. Also, thanks to the Jubi warning, the two remaining jinchuriki will be watched around the clock. Madara just made his job a lot harder than it had to be. Who cares if he is down to a few good akatsuki members. I don't see why they can't just continue with the old plan of picking off one jinchuriki after another. Madara knows that Naruto could easily be had with Sasuke as bait, and Killer Bee is wandering around the country unprotected.
The four kages understood right away that divided, they would stand no chance against the power of seven bijuus. Why couldn't Madara understand that?
He did understand it. He just wanted to tell them his plan. He is confident that no matter what, even if he told them his plan, he will succeed.
Killer bee, even though he is unprotected, he can still fight out the remaining Akatsuki members. Actually, the only remaining akatsuki members are Kisame and Sasuke. I think the wood head guy is still alive, OR dead.
And Naruto. Sure he can be lured out with Sasuke as bait but, why did you think he was training with his Sage mode trying to extend it for? His Sage mode is strong.
