Naruto met Hagoromo because he had the nine Biju -effectively recreating Hagoromo's Juubi Jinchuriki status, while Sasuke got some Hashirama cells -recreating his own body. It's true that Hagoromo then granted him the Rinnegan (as he wouldn't have immediately awakened it on his own). However, Naruto and Sasuke meeting the Sage were orchestrated by recreating Hashirama's chakra in these ways. Recreating Hagoromo's chakra is not a requirement to meet him. Hagormo simply met with Naruto and Sasuke because it was necessary. If he can observe what his sons' reincarnations were doing throughout generations, then he can surely talk to them whenever he wanted. Sasuke didn't receive Hashirama's cells, otherwise he would of gotten Wood Release, Hashi's regeneration ability, or all of the above, along with part of his body visibly containing Hashi's cells. Madara would of met the Sage in his elderly days, yet he made no note of it. And, as Ravenlot stated, Naruto and Sasuke met the Sage before they were being treated
