If Sasuke didn't need Asura's chakra or the Mazo's to awaken his Rinnegan, why would Naruto strictly need Indra's or the Mazo's? Yes, if he got Indra's, odds are he'd awaken the diluted Rinnegan, but it still seems like he'd be able to get the Rinnegan from the Tailed Beasts and Hagaromo. Actually Sasuke does, Hashirama gave Sasuke some of his chakra I believe and Hashirama was Asura's previous reincarnation. I also recall Kabuto talking about Hashirama's cells when using medical-ninjutsu to heal Sasuke. So I believe Sasuke possess some of Hashirama's cells and chakra unless I miss or misunderstood something.
