That makes no sense Well, you see, like Madara fused his own DNA with Senju DNA to awaken the Rinnegan, it might work with the DNA of a descendant of the Senju clan, namely the Uzumaki DNA, too. Well, no.

To achieve the Rinnegan (Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo 's chakra) you need the Transmigrant Chakra of his two sons, namely Ashura and Indra. Madara was able to achieve it because he was the Latest Transmigrant of Indra at that time. With Hashirama being the same for Ashura. Just being a descendant of the Uchiha or the Senju does not guarantee that they will be the next transmigrant. (especially when the current living transmigrants are still around...like alive. Like Sasuke and Naruto.)

But that leaves me on another point. When did Hashirama die, and who could have been the transmigrant RIGHT after him? There is the possibility that before the transmigration reached Naruto, there was one just before. Or in this special case the transmigration can skip a generation or two...or three. So far as we know Sasuke was born not too long after the "death" of Madara. So who was the one that died before Naruto's birth? Hmmmmmm......
