False, i believe it's a misconception that the Rinnegan is an evolved sharingan. It's not. You don't require a sharingan to obtain a rinnegan. Kabuto's words are misdirectly as well. Also, the rinnegan does not posses sharingan abilities. The only rinnegan who ever possessed sharingan abilities is Sasuke's and that's about it.
