Well people. I had some crazy thoughts... After doing some research (chapter 462), and about the origin of Rinnegan, I have been tracing the components of the Sage's Body and Sage's Eyes.
First thing the first... I won't put proof for this theory, since these are things I assume are common culture for the NB. But if people need this proof, I'll gladly post it below.
So, I'll continue elaborating:
- We know that the Sage got two sons... The Elder (Uchiha clan ancestor) and the Younger (Senju clan ancestor).
- We know that the Elder inherited the Sage's Eyes, and the Younger inherited the Sage's Body.
We have the first Dilema... If the Elder Son inherited the Sage's Eyes, "why aren't these eyes the Rinnegan?"
Manga shown us that Madara awakened the Rinnegan under certain circumstances... specifically in the verge of death, when having both Uchiha and Senju DNA. The special thing about this, even if it sounds obvious, is that Madara had the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan at this point, the strongest eyes an Uchiha could have. These eyes have Yin powers.
Madara had the Eyes... Madara had Hashirama's DNA. The combination of both Eyes and the Senju DNA let him awake the Rinnegan. Please take in consideration, as he was an Uchiha, the Yin powers were overflowing in his body but specially in the eyes, so it was natural for him to awake the Eyes of the Sage. Please take in consideration, that most of the cells in Madara were his own cells.
Now, what should we consider as the true Sage's eyes? The Rinnegan? or the Elder Son's Doujutsu that evolved into the Sharingan? I'll consider the Rinnegan as the Former Sage Eyes, while the Sharingan will be the New form of the Sage's Eyes in the current context.
...now, where is the Sage's body?
We should consider that the circumstances to reach the body of the sage (the former one, the genuine) we should consider analog circumstances viewed from the opposite side. This would be by Hashirama having Madara's DNA. Mostly, Hashirama had to have a bit of Madara's DNA in his body, and being in the verge of death. Contrary to the circumstances of Madara who was being overflowed by Yin powers, Hashirama should have a lot of Yang power plus both DNA in order to awake the Former Sage's body (since the Younger son inherited the Sage's body, but not the one with both DNA, but one with just Yang power).
If you look at these things with perspective, you could say that "Rinnegan" is just the most powerful doujutsu on the Narutoverse, but not the most powerful weapon inside. This is because the Sage's Body (by the concept of Yin and Yang) should match the powers of the Rinnegan.

Let's look at this possibility with more perspective... Why would Orochimaru want Sasuke's body instead of just his eyes? He already had the requirements to get a Rinnegan of his own when he had Sasuke in his crew in part 1, so it wouldn't make sense him wanting just a pair of Rinnegan.
His objectives were to be immortal from the start, he wanted to have a perfect body for the sake of knowledge, to know the truth in the world. Sasuke's body and Sasuke's eyes would let him awake both Eyes and Body of the Sage.
Any thoughts about this theory?
