Naruto isn’t a Uchiha so he wouldn’t have gotten the Rinnegan anyway. His body isn’t naturally capable of generating that eye. As opposed to that of the Uchiha.

Or in Sasuke's case, just Hagoromo's chakra.

From observing Sasuke and Madara, Naruto not getting the Rinnegan could be because he lacks the Sharingan. But then again, there's no confirmation of Hagoromo having the Sharingan either (though possible). It's another thing Kishi decides to keep unanswered.

Sasuke received Ashura’s chakra from Hashirama and the other from Hagoromo himself. And even if it was from Hagoromo by himself, it’s more than enough.

That's not true. You don't need to be an Uchiha to awaken the rinnegan. The rinnegan is NOT an evolution of the sharingan.

For one to awaken the rinnegan, he needs to posses both Indra's and Asura's chakra. It doesn't matter what kind of eyes you have.Even somebody like Shikamaru would theoretically awaken the rinnegan if he would receive somehow both Indra and Asura's chakra.

Lmfao no, you need to be an Uchiha, or an Otsutsuki to bear/possess the rinnegan. No other bloodlines can awaken the Rinnegan. The eyes are too overwhelming...Why do you think Obito specifically said that he could only handle one of the Rinnegan?
