The story is told from omniscient 3rd person

You are reaching. Awakening the Rinnegan was because of Hagoromo. He gave it to him, Hagoromo is responsible for Sasuke having it. By your logic, Sasuke also happened to have the seal, and "From Rikodu Sennin" has no meaning in that sentence at all. Sasuke was never confirmed anywhere to have Hashiramas cells.

Also by your logic, Naruto has Tailed Beast Modes because they were already a part of him, and Kurama just turned them on

Here is why Sasuke and Madara are different Madara: Confirmed to have Hashirama cells, never met Hagoromo, took years to get Rinnegan Sasuke: never confirmed in the databook or manga to have Hashiramas cells, met Hagoromo, and obtained the Rinnegan when Hagoromo gave him powers.

Hagoromo said Naruto wasn't dead yet, emphasizing yet which means Naruto is in danger of dying, which wouldnt be the case if Obito had already given him the Tailed Beasts.

ItachiWasAHero: Kabuto said he used the cells to save Sasuke, but he also said he used advice, but he didn't implant thought processes into Sasukes brain. You can use a defibrillator so save someone, but not implant it. Use=/=implant
