He walked the length and breadth of Fire Country until he came across a little patch of paradise that he decided to call home. By drawing on the memories of his past life, along with some of the memories of the original Madara, he created a thousand Kage Bushins to aid him in the construction of his home and base of operations. He was aware that Akatsuki had already been created, he was also aware of the fact that Amegakure was nearly in complete control of Pein, also known as Nagato. He was also aware of all the locations of the Jinchuuriki, whom he would, like his predecessor, gather, but this time instead of extraction, he would shelter those that needed to be sheltered. He planned on being like Orochimaru, except minus the abuses the people saved bit and the love for little boys.

The patch of land that he had found and decided to claim as his own was in all actuality a piece of the country to the east of the Land of Rice Patties, and north-east of the Land of Fire. It didn't matter if the country already had a ruler, Madara planned on fighting any and all resistance to his claim. The land in which his new home and base of operations was to stand was within a few kilometers of the natural resources that he would be needing for the construction. He assigned the task of gathering lumber and cutting them into planks to two hundred clones. He assigned the task of quarrying stone to one hundred clones. Three hundred clones were given the task of tunneling and digging for coal ore, iron ore, and gold ore. With a lake nearby and some game, two hundred clones were assigned such a task, the food to be gathered should be enough for a small hidden village. The second to the last group of one hundred clones were assigned the task of placing detection and protection seals around the site of construction, as well as around the other places that the other clones were working. The last hundred clones were put in charge of layering genjutsus around the area that Madara had claimed as his own, enough genjutsu to fool even the famed doujutsus of the world, including the Rin'negan, along with any other form of heightened sense, the only way in would be if whoever wanted in was let in.

Madara then proceeded to create another thousand clones. These too he divided into smaller groups. The first hundred he ordered to practice the different styles of taijutsu that he knew, it would not do to be out of practice, even a little. The next group were ordered to practice chakra control, even with his nearly perfect control, he wanted to be as close to perfect as possible, so he had those hundred do all the exercises that he knew. The control exercises were leaf sticking, tree walking, water walking, kunai balancing, cutting a waterfall, whirlpool walking, forming one simple academy bushin per kage bushin, chakra string manipulation, controlling chakra through any of the tenketsu, air walking, and a few other exercises. The next three hundred clones were ordered to practice all the ninjutsu that he knew, unlike most Uchiha, Madara wanted to fully master each and every jutsu in his arsenal, in the process possibly creating his own, or variations of his own. The remaining five hundred he ordered to serve as the transport people for the materials and resources that the other clones were assigned to acquire.

Once there were enough materials to begin construction of the buildings that would make up the center of his own hidden village. The first building that would be constructed was the administration building where all village related matters would be taken care of, from running the future village to simply registering new citizens. It would be a four storey building, that would not only have some offices, but archives as well. The second building that was to be built was the warehouse and storage building where all surplus resources were to be kept, ranging from lumber to food to gold. The storage building would be big enough to house all the resources that a hidden village the size of Konoha would be able to procure. It would also have four floors in order to segregate the different resources. With the resources coming in in a steady stream, Madara would not run out of any resource soon, but he would be needing the storage building soon, as he did not want to have his resources and materials just lying all over the place. He created another thousand clones to take care of construction, with that number of clones it would take only a short while to get the buildings into working order. In his two lives, he had been able to gather a lot of useful information, that at the time seemed to be useless. With these information the clones went to work, the construction of the two building took roughly a week give or take, since the clones favored using jutsu, as compared to most construction workers and artisans who used the 'proper' tools.

With the two buildings having been completed, Madara ordered his clones to begin building what would serve as the library, as well as the research and development department, two levels for the library, and two levels for R&D. All buildings were also built with five lower levels each, their purposes would be figured out in the future. Alongside the library, the clones would also be building the sawmill, weapon smithy, blacksmith, a few lookout towers at what would serve as the edges of the village once construction of the core buildings were completed, a tool smithy just for the heck of it, a mint for the melting and shaping of the gold from ore to something that can be used as currency. Some other buildings and structures would also be built, but Madara need not instruct his clones to do those thing, the clones knew the basic skeleton of the layout of the whole to be village.

After those buildings had seen completion, the clones set about constructing the walls, aside from the genjutsu and seals that were already in place to protect the village, walls were a much needed thing for any village. Konoha's walls were high, the tops of which were a number of feet above the tree line, and so Madara based the height of his walls on Konoha's walls.

Nearly forgetting the sewer system that needed to be in place, Madara created another thousand clones to take care of all the underground systems that needed to be installed in the village, ranging from the sewer system to the electrical wiring, the source of the village's water would come from underground lakes, rivers, and the like that some of the clones had found in their tunneling and quarrying. Some of those clones decided to explore the underground caves, which they were able to conclude passed under the village itself, hundreds of feet below the village, but still within reach of the pipes and whatnot. As for electricity, without the knowledge of how his former hidden villages acquired electricity, Madara decided to create generators and batteries using as much lightning natured chakra as he could muster, the whole process of setting up that system taking something close to two weeks of solid work on his part. There were a number of seals and contractions that needed to be built, written, and set in place.

Once the walls were safely and securely in place, with obvious spaces for gates, four gates in total, Madara himself began construction on the gates, his clones even with all their chakra and solidness, still lacked a few things that the original could not grant them. Some of his kami-granted abilities just could not be passed onto his clones, one of these being his ability to openly mock the Senju clan, since he now possessed the ability to use Mokuton jutsu. At each space reserved for a gate, he used his mokuton ability to create solid wood doors. He then used his ability to control the magnetic fields in the world to gather some metals to form the hinges and the locks of the gates.

After all the basic structures were completed, Madara's next task for himself and his clones was to start growing crops, green produce, food of the earth and work of human hands. With his mokuton ability, as well as his power over the Green which is basically the power to command nature, Madara summoned up a few satchels worth of different kinds of seeds, some for food, some for medicines, some for decorations also known as flowers, and some for poisons. His clones were also given the knowledge of how to grow each of the things.

In his lives, he had not really gotten much knowledge about the medical world, in order to rectify this he sent out squads of clones out into the world with the sole purpose of acquiring medical knowledge, be it from books or from experience. He also ordered some of the clones that were not doing anything except standing around, to build a hospital, one which some of the other clones would be responsible for furnishing with the basics.

In his two lives Madara, like most people encountered times of boredom, to alleviate such states of being, the man learned how to do a few things, that normally wouldn't have fit in with their personality. Among these things were baking, cooking, brewing, and anything and everything that had to do with making clothes.

Once ALL preparations had been completed, the only thing remaining on Madara's agenda was getting people to populate his hidden village. It was roughly the size of Suna, meaning it could house a lot of people. But he did not plan on just picking people to join him at random, he would be doing it semi-systematically. The world did not need to know about his existence yet, so he would be replacing the people he would recruit or save with special clones that would stay out in the rest of the world in their stead, as to not arouse suspicion or the like. He would also have to inform Pein about the change of plans somehow, that self-proclaimed-God needed to be convinced that total war was not the way to peace, that suffering and pain would only cause more suffering and pain, and that the only way to achieve peace would be to actually choose not to walk down the path of vengeance. Of course he would allow the members of Akatsuki to still operate, go around the world and do missions that the hidden villages no longer had the manpower to do. He would also need to know about the living conditions of the jinchuuriki, all ten of them. There were also a bunch of other matters that he would use Akatsuki to deal with, like keeping track of the movements of the other nations's leaders, as well as those few runaway leaders like the true ruler of the Land of Snow.

Before heading out, Madara instructed his clones to Henge into different people, none of which better resemble anyone that he knew existed, for a prankster, creativity and imagination came naturally. Gathering up his supplies and sealing them all into storage seals located all over his person, Madara's final thing to do was write down all his instructions for Akatsuki, as well as an altered memory of the end of his past life's world that would be viewable if the proper steps are followed. After putting everything for Akatsuki into a scroll, Madara left his plot of land in the care of his clone army, and walked out into the world in search of his future citizens.
