That is also true, but Obito himself said the only reason he did not transplant both Rinnegan was because he could not handle it as he is not an original rinnegan owner, meaning he did not awaken his own Rinnegan, and he is not Madara either. But that brings up something I always thought, does that mean that Madara transplanting his eyes into Nagato, helped Nagato awaken his own Rinnegan... with Madara's Rinnegan?? He was also Edo Tensei'd and he came back with the Rinnegan. I guess there is a real reason behind his title of Third Six Paths Sage, Madara being the Second Six Paths Sage.
