Rikudou Sennin isn't a redhead!

[jvega]

I was thinking about this when I was looking at an earlier thread. I believe the Sage has Blonde. Reason why:
In this strip, the sage is shown with light hair. Redheads are shown with darker tinted hair.

I believe he was of old age at this time so his hair most likely turned white

 

[Imm0rtal bAstard]

At that time he was old. Look at the wrinkles.

In that panel, Rikudou was very old.

That was AFTER he survived the Juubi's extraction and created the 9 Bijuu's, his hair became light colored because of chakra exhaustion.

Rikudou had red hair.

I thought that too but then that would mean he had kids when he was old. Which doesn't sound right in story standards.

Rikudou had red hair.

and I have to agree.

What do you mean? Just because they are not shown in the panel it doesn't mean he didn't have any at that time

 

[SilverfoxUchiha]

the light hair reflects when his hair turned from red to white, as it did similarly with nagato after he had used so much of his chakra.

when the sage had separated the juubi into the nine bijuus (as in the manga page you have used) it was during the latter part of his life.

if the sage was Uzumaki then its likely his hair went from red to white. if he was namikaze (like minato) it would have been blonde, however there is nothing to say that minatos clan went back as far as that time as it was not mentioned as being one of the four ancient clans (uchiha, senju, hyuuga, uzumaki).

I think he gave them power just like itachi gave to sasuke.

One more thing I wanted to point out. When Naruto picture himself with redhair, his hair was hanging down, but with his blond hair it's spiky like the Rikudou. So does that mean that redhair hangs down?

 

[A$AP Wap]

The options for his hair are: Yellow/Gold/Blonde/Red/Black

His hair might be Red 'cause his sons have darker shades of hair.
...so his hair could either be Black or Red for the most part, or his baby mama could have had darker hair.​

 

[NarutoB]

No one knows what it is. I think it will be blonde.

 

[Great Sage of Uchiha]

Rikudou had red hair.

Please show this manga page

 

[Honord Sage]

Even An Uzumaki grows old at some point.

Rikudou had red hair.

Where does it say Sage had Red Hair?

Must have missed this confirmed news from sometime.

Nobody knows his hair color, it will be revealed. Everyone is assuming it is Red because EVERYONE thinks the Sage was an Uzumaki. Sage can be Uchiha and had black hair, with age it turned white, look at Madara, his hair went white with age and he had the best damn Black hair in the whole universe.

 

[Flawž]

possibly due to being an uzumaki and exerting too much Chakra causing his Hair to turn white.

Like nagato in the konoha assault.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

possibly due to being an uzumaki and exerting too much Chakra causing his Hair to turn white.

Like nagato in the konoha assault.

Indeed, he did just create the Moon and extracted and divided the Juubi into the Nine Bijuus when those panels in the "Nine Names Chapter" were shown turning his hair from Crimson Red to Ashen White like Nagato.

One more thing I wanted to point out. When Naruto picture himself with redhair, his hair was hanging down, but with his blond hair it's spiky like the Rikudou. So does that mean that redhair hangs down?

Uzumakis can have spiky red hair too, look at Karin.
