Anyway, I don't know about the Tailed Beasts' chakra being what gave Indra the Rinnegan- for one thing, the actual Tailed Beasts weren't created until well after Indra was born, so the Ten Tails' chakra would've needed to be responsible. The idea certainly has merit- with the Ten Tails basically being Kaguya, and each grandchild getting one of her capabilities, it would provide a catalyst- but their abilities could just as easily come from Hagaromo directly. Plus, we again run into the problem of why the Rinnegan would weaken to the Sharingan- it makes at least some sense if we go purely by (for want of a better term) genetics, with the Rinne Sharingan weakening to the Rinnegan and the Rinnegan then weakening still further to the Sharingan. If we bring the Ten Tail's chakra into the mix, though, reason would dictate that it would've strengthened the Rinnegan in Indra, not denatured it. So how exactly would the Ten Tails' chakra have brought about the Sharingan? I've no idea how to answer that question actually anyway here it goes, I guess the Ten-Tails power could have only contributed in dividing it's own Rinne Sharingan power in Hagoromo and later in Indra, it could have strengthened Indra's Sharingan but it was not shown, I guess Hagoromo as a child had third eye it looks like tattoo but it is unknown, Kaguya in her early depiction had the third eyelid closed and her third eye wasn't shown until after Madara absorbed Ten-Tails and casted Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan was shown after that so it must mean that after consuming the fruit and later merging with ten-tails resulted in Rinne Sharingan on her forehead so I suppose it was not Kaguya's eye but something like Gōkeigan third eye in dormant form so there is a possibility it turned into that i.e., after consuming the fruit she gained extra power which turned her third eye into Rinne Sharingan, her Byakugan might be her original eyes, it is unknown that her two eyes were just white coloured normal eyes which later gained the power of Byakugan after eating fruit. Concerning those powers may be it's just me thinking that its just a coincidence, the elder son gets the chakra fruit's power and younger son gets original power of their parents like in the case of Hagoromo, Indra gaining the Ten-Tails eye in diluted form and in the case of Hamura and Asura, Hamura got his mother's Byakugan and Asura- well he didn't get Ten-Tails eyes in diluted forms. And I'm sure the power doesn't divide into something like 50-50, It's just Kishimoto's logic that the first generation would get Rinnegan and Second generation would get Sharingan along with tomoe from Rinne Sharingan, because it was not possible to divide three dojutsu equally among two sons. I'm just going with what might have happened, Hagoromo should have Rinne Sharingan just like Hamura got his Byakugan from his mother but in reality Hagoromo didn't get that eye, similarly Indra should have Rinnegan from his father if the power really equally divided but it's not that case so the Ten-Tails chakra inside Hagoromo did the same thing as the power inside Kaguya did-it only distributed power more specifically 'divided' and it is the loss of power and not strengthening because "the power is it's own", which isn't helping Sharingan to strengthen but Sharingan was formed from Rinne Sharingan (I mean not literally).

I view Hamura as having gotten the Byakugan (or in my alternative, the Tenseigan) and Shikotsumyaku, with his descendants (on Earth) becoming the Hyuga and Kaguya clans. Hagaromo got the Rinnegan and her powerful life force, with his descendants of course being the Uchiha, Senju, and (through the latter) Uzumaki clans. Yes I also thought of that as well given that Hamura has more chakra reserve his Byakugan should turn into Tenseigan, and he and the rest might have gone to the moon while some stayed on earth but it is unclear whether everyone went to the moon or not, I'm just saying this because I read somewhere that Hamura went to the moon with rest of his clans, If it is true then they came back to earth and became the Hyuga clan, and also Kaguya clan.
