while that does make sense Randell, Obito did not awaken Rinnegan.. and Hagoromo says combining Indra and Asura chakra makes his Chakra which makes Rinnegan. So I think it just comes down to Kishimoto making a plot hole.. Madara said you needed both of your original eyes and its shown that it is only awakened near death such as in Madara and Sasuke's case.. Obito was near death vs Kaguya and had both his original eyes and still did not awaken the Rinnegan. So its all plothole no jutsu now.. but Obito is Madara's direct descendant... idk.
