Another interesting thing, if Izuna had taken Madara's eyes instead and subsequently obtained Hashirama's cells thus Asura's chakra, would have he awakened the Rinnegan? Same for Itachi if he had indeed taken Sasuke's eyes and then got a hold of Asura's chakra by means of Hashirama's cells or Naruto's etc.
