If only Madara, an Uchiha with EMS, managed to gain the Sage's eyes by infusing his own body with Asura's chakra, it means that it's possible to gain the Rinnegan only if you possess the Sharingan beforehand along with a portion of Indra and Asura's chakras; something proved by Sasuke being the only one between him and Naruto to gain the Rinnegan despite both of them receiving Hagoromo's chakra.
