Some artificial means surely must be used to achieve it (i.e. Asura+Indra chakra mix, which requires Asura chakra to be obtained), but since the chakra itself wasn't a natural part of human live before Kaguya's/Hagoromo's deeds, it's not that a sin. If it's all meaning behind "Original" then it's just pointless adjective. Ravenlot 27 wrote: Secondly, it has always been a constant rule that a wielder of a transplanted doujutsu needs more chakra for it's use than the original owner. Nagato was able to handle Rinnegan and use it effectively only due to his Uzumaki heritage - their chakra reserves and lifeforce respectivelly. A regular shinobi wouldn't be capable to do so, even Obito could handle just one eye, despite being an Uchiha with Hashi's cells. Never heard about that rule - i only remember Kakashi saing that Sharingan takes toll of his body, Danzo with Hashi cell managed very well actually, and then again Nagato in not regular shinobi he is Asura decendant with "body of sage". Considering Rinnegan is Yin/Yang eye and not Yin like Sharingan it's actually reasonble that Sasuke who has lack in Yang, actually has problems with Rinnegan too.

Ravenlot 27 wrote: And finally, it's pretty clear that such a powerful eye as the Rinnegan can't be used constantly. Nagato tried to do so and turned into a crippled skeleton, although with some help from Hanzo. Not true Nagato turned crippled only because of Hanzo, and turned sceleton because he continuously controlled six human bodies with his chakra.

Ravenlot 27 wrote: Hair cover can be just some stylistic addition to Sasuke's design as an adult, to give him "Madara-style" look (who surely didn't need any hair cover, but had it anyway as a part of the usual appearance). He still covered it on Cooldowns.

Ravenlot 27 wrote: Moreover, we've already seen that Sasuke (in the Last Movie) can simply deactivate the Rinnegan at will, akin to his Sharingan. The Rinnegan is still a doujutsu that consumes chakra and shouldn't be used carelessly. Not in Kishi's manga.
