I realize that, at present (and likely forever), there's nothing canon to confirm or deny this, but I've still been wondering about it for a while. Izanagi, of course, allows one to rewrite reality in the users favor (though all we've seen it used for as yet is to avoid fatal injuries), and in exchange, the eye that used Izanagi is sealed and thus goes blind. The same occurs when Izanami is used. However, when Madara awakened the Rinnegan, the eye he had previously used to cast Izanagi regained its sight, while also gaining the Rinnegan.

So, my question is this- is it possible to use Izanagi with the Rinnegan? It's been established that a normal Sharingan can be used for Izanagi, so wouldn't it be logical to assume the Rinnegan could as well?

Also, by using the King of Hell, Nagato was able to revive any destroyed Pains. If a Rinnegan user were to use Izanagi with one eye, could they hypothetically use their other eye to summon the King of Hell, rip out their affected eye and "feed" it to the King, and subsequently "ressurect" the sealed eye?
