I wonder about this because the circumstances of Madara's Edo Tensei and his re-awakening of the rinnegan are really weird. I've been wondering if Madara was, in fact, restored in Six Paths form but he chose to stay in EMS form until he was forced to reveal his Rinnegan.

I mean, we know Madara's transmigration was over (Hagoromo said so himself), so why would Hashirama's cells allow his Edo Tensei form to awaken the Rinnegan (as he would lack Indra's chakra)?
