Neither Madara nor Sasuke ever did. BlazeRelease wrote: Like maybe the Rinnegen just gives control over gravity/magnectic forces(like the tenseigan) without any jutsus that's what i thought, but the databook is fairly clear on this: It's a sealing jutsu that can be used by individuals who awaken Six Paths Senjutsu. "Chibaku Tensei" is the version that can be used by a single individual, while "Six Paths Chibaku Tensei" is a more powerful version that requires two individuals simultaneously combining the power of Yin and Yang. Note that it doesn't mention the Rinnegan or some other aspect for the CT.

Other instances: About shinra tensei: Only those who can manipulate all chakra transformation properties (seishitsu) legendary “Rinnegan” wielders are allowed to posses this jutsu that has all rights to be called “crystally perfect”. (IE a clear example of the Rinnegan being mentioned)

About Naraka: The soul of the living is pulled out in-order to be eaten, this hijutsu (hidden jutsu, I.E. clan jutsu) calls out the ruler of hades. (Note: hidden jutsu, not rinnegan jutsu or rinnegan power. It's also not listed as KKG) About human: The end comes when ones memories are read, it's only natural that instant death comes to those that are useless. (in other words, it's just a really fast mindread jutsu, death is just a side-effect) About Asura: ''One of Rikudo's techniques where arms/weapons are summoned (w/ Kuchiyose) make ones own body into a weapon. To toy with the enemy through the usage of Taijutsu normally humanly impossible one can disgustingly change their shape at will. The enemy suffers a certain death blow. Summoning (again Kuchiyose) unknown bombardment weapons that have yet to be manufactured in the Ninja World, in order to cope with the opponent, different weapons are equipped to match the enemies flow during battle.''

In all of these cases, Nagato's Six Paths of Pain (Rikodu/Pain Rikodu) are mentioned, but only in Bansho Tenin is the Rinnegan mentioned specifically. This is strange, because it has no problem attributing things like Amenotejikara to the Rinnegan, the same for Limbo: border jail. The same is true for Jutsu Absorbtion, which the Preta Path uses: no mention of the rinnegan. And Animal Path is simply under Rinnegan Summoning, the same kind of summoning mentioned in Ashura path, which too implies that Nagato simply was creative with his summons. This suggests that those jutsu were invented, and aren't innate powers like the MS powers. The only certain powers we can attribute to the rinnegan are:

-Chakra control. Both the ability to easily use any element as well as the ability to easily create new jutsu on the fly. -Person unique power (Amenotejikara/Limbo).
