'Yawn' come on people, stick to facts. The Sharingan is not needed for the Rinnegan. Also there is no evidence that an Asura incarnate would need the Sharingan to get the Rinnegan.

The only thing needed for the Rinnegan is Hagoromo's chakra, which can also be recreated by merger of Asura and Indra's chakras. The Sharingan comes automatically with Indra's chakra, but it's not a requirement for the Rinnegan, it's just what Indra inherited.

And before you for the 1000000th time start to freak that 'NARUTO GOT HAGOROMO'S CHAKRA BUT NO RINNEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!' For the final time, think of chakra similar to genes. Hagoromo's entire chakra is one thing, but the chakra itself has many traits that make the whole, he gave Naruto a part of his many traits and different part to Sasuke.

Naruto doesn't literally have Hagoromo's chakra, just a small piece of it. Sasuke though, does have Hagoromo's chakra, hence the Rinnegan. But unlike Naruto, Sasuke does't have Tailed Beast chakra/s nor Six Paths Senjutsu.
