Have you ever wondered why the Rikudou Sennin is always hidden in silhouette?
And that Kishimoto only showed him in non-silhouette form when he was already old and dying?
His two sons, The Uchiha and Senju Ancestors, have been shown full-face even if they have not properly appeared yet in the storyline:
So why is it Kishimoto is hiding the appearance of the Sage?
Some speculate it's because he looks like Naruto, however I don't think that is the case.
First and foremost, the Bijuus particularly Kurama would have recognized Naruto and Rikudou's physical resemblance, and yet prior to the merit of Naruto's actions (uniting the Bijuus) there was no indication that Kurama and co. recognized Naruto's physical similarities with the Sage's, or Kurama would have been friends earlier on with Naruto, which they weren't, it was only after uniting them that they recognized Naruto as Rikudou's successor:
So if it is not a physical similarity with Naruto, then what is it? what is it that Kishimoto is hiding from us readers?
The answer I think is this, it is because Rikudou Sennin had red hair.
Think about it, Kishimoto made all pure-blooded Uzumakis have red hair, that in itself indicates he made the Uzumaki trademark important for a purpose. Rikudou Sennin in his youth, before sealing the Juubi and before separating it into the 9 Tailed Beasts had hair of crimson red, the symbol of tremendous life force.
In fact, the overexertion of an Uzumaki's chakra turns their hair from crimson red to ashen white like Nagato:
That is why Kishimoto only showed Rikudou's image when he was already old and dying, his hair had turned white after exhausting his Chakra:
The extraction of the Juubi from his body and its' division into the 9 Bijuus:
And the creation of the Sealing Stone of the Gedo Mazo: The Moon
That would render Rikudou's hair white like Nagato's:
But prior to that, the Rikudou Sennin's hair was definitely red:
It is also worthy to note that Rikudou Sennin was able to survive the extraction of the Juubi from himself and was even shown talking to them.
Much like Kushina who survived the extraction of Kurama from her body:
It is only logical to conclude that becoming the Juubi's Jinchuuriki necessitates Rikudou Sennin having tremendous life force upon sealing the Juubi inside himself, something akin to the tremendous life force of the Uzumakis.
Even if the Manga is not colored, if Kishimoto shows the Sage's appearance fully, then the Anime must still render the color of the Sage's hair.
Like the Elder and Younger Sons:
If the Sage was shown full face like his sons, then his hair color in the anime and official source materials would be divulged as red. Thus making it a dead giveaway that Rikudou Sennin is an Uzumaki.
Some might be skeptical of these evidences, the same way others were skeptical that Tobi=Obito because they had the same hair:
And that the socket of Tobi's mask is on the side where Obito's eye was intact after he gave the other one to Kakashi's:
But we must approach this Manga with an open mind, Kishimoto has been giving us many subtle hints that Tobi=Obito long before the revelation in ch.599
If we did not bash the Obito theorists before then we would not have been misled into thinking Tobi was Izuna,Kagami,Shisui, Elder Son or Time-Traveler Sasuke from the future.
Many did not accept the fact that Tobi=Obito, not because it was implausible or untrue, but because it was too obvious
As obvious as the Rikudou Sennin being an Uzumaki.

great as always XD the scan where the sage is still alive after the extraction of the bijuus is a very good point for him to be an uzumaki =D
