Elveonora wrote: Black Zetsu at least suggested Hagoromo awakened the Rinnegan. Can you imagine a baby born with the Rinnegan? We were never shown that to be the case. If the Rinnegan really has to be awakened and is similar to Sharingan in this regard, then there has to be some trigger to activate it, just like mental trauma etc. are for Sharingan. I always figured that BZ meant that Madara was the second person to have the Rinnegan. And Hamura (along with everyone of his descendants) was born with the Byakugan so is it that much of a stretch to believe Hagoromo was born with his Rinnegan.

The God of Shinobi gave them that power. Wouldn't it be possible for Hagoromo, he who has All Creation, to chose to give Sasuke the Rinnegan and Naruto not? This is a good explanation except that you have to then ask yourself 'Why not give it to both of them?', in which case I have to agree with Rage gtx.
