It was my knowledge that all Uchiha were descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki‎ and All Senju were descendants of Asura  Ōtsutsuki. why would he have to obtain the DNA strictly from Indra's current reincarnation? Cause all the other Senju and Uchiha aren't Asura and Indra's reincarnations. Being their descendants from hundreds of generations and having a small portion of their chakra isn't the same as being the literal incarnate of their chakra. Only those who possess the DNA and chakra of Indra and Asura directly from their reincarnations can awaken the Rinnegan. Hagoromo and Black Zetsu both pretty much established that.
