Ah I remember when a topic similar to this popped up long ago when this first happened in the manga. I say to thee as I did to the previous one who asked this topic.

It. Is. All. About. GENETICS...

Traits passed down from parent to child to grandchild and sometimes skipping generations. All traits, including in the Narutoverse, have the probability of being passed to one child and not the other (Indra and Asura), now I know that there is some instances where this logical reason have been thrown out the window, example would be Six Paths of Pain and Double Mangekyou Kakashi. Now lets take this and realize why Naruto did not gain Rinnegan, we go back to Asura being born with the body of Hagoromo while Indra was born with his eyes, conclude that their decendants then gains traits similar to their ancestors, the brothers. That in turn shows the probability of offspring's receiving the traits of the parents (Asura: Senju, Uzumaki - Indra: Uchiha)

Now lets go into why Naruto cant have Rinnegan when Sasuke can besides genetics and into Hagoromo giving him half of his chakra, to put it blunt, the transfer of ones chakra to others is what HAGOROMO PREACHED ABOUT!!! Ninshu, connecting people together with chakra and better understanding of oneself, Hagoromo distributed chakra to others for this, no where did any of the people Hagoromo gave chakra also gained Rinnegan and on side note if anyone goes to Pain or Susanoo Kakashi as i mentioned earlier. The reason as of why Six Paths of Pain had Rinnegans was the fact that Nagato was in control and using his chakra in the bodies, for Kakashi to have 2 mangekyou and using susanoo, Obito entered his body as a form of possession, a symbiotic control given to both. We even see characters with sharingans/rinnegans when they dont have them but when under someone elses control/genjutsu.

No where is Naruto under the control of Hagoromo, all the Sage done was distribute his chakra to Naruto and Sasuke, boosting them and unlocking abilities for them. As for Madara, the Indra and Asura chakra mixing did awaken his Rinnegan, but took many years for it to unlock, most likely to balance out the chakras like one would do for sage mode. That leaves the fact that some properties of chakra is necessary for Sharingan evolution to Rinnegan, like training to use all 5 elements, yinyang, and natural energy, but that is discussion for another time.

So Naruto having Rinnegan is not possible because of his genetics from his ancestor Asura, and that Hagoromo's chakra is not possessing him but distributed into him.

If all that does not end this, then some die-hard fans really cant accept Naruto not being the only strongest character.
