I can provide a picture of both cases if you still doubt it. It's not clear if they're animation errors. Character sketches show his Rinnegan obscured behind his hair, for instance, and he's almost perpetually shown with the Rinnegan active. Why would he keep it active at almost all times? Why is he forced to shut his eye with overuse in stead of deactivating it like the Sharingan.

Indra can chose his, and it would make the most sense if he picked a clan with such natural power. Considering the Senju seemed to be largely gone, it makes sense that Naruto was chosen by Ashura.
