Because it would make them independent of each other. Without both the Rinnegan and the Beasts, the Infinite Tsukuyome could not be stopped. By giving each half the power they needed, Hagoromo was able to ensure they would at least cooperate for a while.

I don't see why he would need more in order to be happy with Ninshu. It was basically the position of Kage, except for nearly the whole world. Indra's corruption only came after this, stoked by Black Zetsu. He was implied to be a good man first.

LegionZero wrote: The Eye Bloodline gets the Rinnegan and the Body Bloodline gets the 6P Senjutsu. Nope, this is a misunderstanding. Six Paths Sage Mode is obtained either directly from Hagoromo, or Six paths Senjutsu is obtained via the Juubi. I don't recall Hagoromo having SPS/SPSM before battling the juubi, he lacks TSB's when sealing Kaguya and those were the most obvious SPS marks.

Both sides get the rinnegan, neither side gets SPSM.
