I am so confused. 1: As i said, Sasuke doesn't seem to be looking for some mystical presence. He's looking for actual physical artefacts, which means that he can find them without the Rinnegan. He just can't decipher it without the Rinnegan.

2: Sasuke does need his Rinnegan to find traces since it's how he traverses dimensions, and it's clear that he's looking for Kaguya's traces in her own dimensions. Doesn't mean it needs to be active all the time.

3: the sharingan would still help him, since it would allow him to find the objects he's looking for. It wouldn't hurt.

Lastly, so far in every single fight since The Last, Naruto has gone into SPSM without fail against both inferior and superior enemies. Like i said, only SPSM defends against TSB's and naruto tanked TSB's in the last. So for all intents and purposes, he used SPSM in The Last.

My point is that The Last depicts KSM despite using feats from SPSM and KSM making no sense. I've also pointed out before that movies like this easily take a year or more to make, yet this would put the initial sketches at a time that SPSM was either barely or about to be shown. Kishimoto didn't make up his mind about how SPSM would look after VOTE2 since he's changed it several times, which further adds credibility to the idea that the animation study for the Movie simply took an earlier form and went with that. Naruto is present in his power-up form for a significant fraction of the film, so it would take months of animation to retroactively fix it.

Sasuke is only present for a short amount of time, so they easily could've added the Rinnegan in a later stage.
