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 symbolised by it's tomoes, and that's about it.
