No. As Madara said you have to get close to the moon for the eye to open.
although from what he said "from what was written on the stone"
why the hell would the sage write that?.....epic fail.
Unless it was actually Kaguya who wrote that. that would make more sense
No I don't believe it was the sage who wrote that
I think it was the elder son INDRA reason being... Indra was the one who passed it down to his descendants
i'm pretty sure no. it happened when he got his other eye back
original owner of the rinnengan, getting close to the moon, caused it to open. he's probably more powerful than the sage now.
nope he still need full Kurama to surpass Sage
why the tree was so big bcz it was close to moon....and the eye was gonna come out when the flowers bloom...so i think yes when he absorbed the tree he got the third eye,and that eye will only open when he will be close to moon....
thats what i think....theres a reason that tree is that tall and big
