Secondly, it's not like Rinnegan is impossibly out of his reach. He's mostly there as far as requirements go. It's not clear if you truly need the eyes, or just some tissue of an uchiha, but Naruto can definitely awaken Rinnegan if he so chooses, just as Sasuke can get SPSM if he so chooses.

The thing is, both saw what ultimate power was like, and it wasn't pretty.
