i heard this somewhere but idk if this was ever said in manga

[greenfire]

did sage of 6 path got the rinnegan from the jubi????

 

[the big boss]

no, he had it before. he gained tremendous amount of chakra when he became the jinjuiki to the jubi,that aided his already high skills and abilities

 

[S A G E]

I believe so.
He probably had Byakugan or Sharingan at the time, and Uzumaki chakra/body!

 

[lytie]

He used his Rinnegan to seal the juubi so no...

thanks

but i was thinkg that his sharingan should look different from what we have seen now

How would he fight the Juubi without it.

 

[P3ĮÑ]

I heard alot of people saying he got it from the juubi, because he was an uzumaki and the juubi essence is required to activate the rinnegan.. It's just a theory so I'm not sure

<div class="bbWrapper">Wait if the jubi had rinnegan/sharingan but the SO6P already had it what does that mean? So the sage just magically got those eyes? It would make more sense if he got them after the jubi was defeated. Or am I thinking to much about it?</div>

I think it's fairly uncertain at the moment.

Some believe the Sage was born/acquired it before he fought the Jubi. Others say that he developed the Rinnengan by becoming the Jinchuriki of the Jubi.

However, I personally believe he was quite special beforehand (with massive chakra reserves and whatever else) but unlocked the Rinnengan after sealing the Jubi.
