Ninja Of War wrote: If he had assimilated both Hashirama's and Madara's DNA, he could have even awakened the Rinnegan. I don't think so, one of the important condition for rinnegan awakening is Transmigration. Hashirama or Madara were no longer the reincarnations of Ashura or Indra. This part reason why Kaguya could Make Madara her vessel, as he no longer hoisted Indra's soul. (something which Hagoromo notes himself). Ninja Of War wrote: Plus, he could have obtained a small amount of chakra from most of the tailed beasts through the reanimations. The potential for Kabuto is insane, when you think about it. This is quite interesting though another prerequisite is acceptance on tailed beast part. Naruto got their acceptance, Kabuto could get it eventually if he tried to steal gedo's DNA.
