This is gonna be a bit long, but if you make it to the end, I will promise you an ice cream 
And yes you might wanna read it before you flame. Although this may seem a bit far fetched, I'm getting tired of those people posting theories with 3 senteces about some eye issue that has been discussed a year ago, just because what everybody believe has been "confirmed". Or so we think, however, this theory wont be one of those.
So where to start. Yes I'm gonna start with a debate that is far from new. Edo Madara has rinnengan. Although we don't know for sure how Edo tensei works, there is most evidence that the state a person is awakaned in, is the state before his death. For now lets assume this is how it is, cause if not, my theory is rubbish, lol.
So the first thing I will be looking for is some way to explain how Madara was awakened with his own eyes, and how Nagato could get rinnengan. First lets look back in time, sadly I'm too borred to look it up in the manga, but we all probably remember Nagatos flashback from when he was a child and his parrents were killed by Konoha shinobi. They said something like: "Oups they were just regular people", well it's here:
This must mean Nagatos parrents were not Uzumaki, and thus probably not Nagatos real parrents. It could be very likely that his parrents knew war was coming, and therefore send him away from the village to save his life. However, I don't think so.
Now most of this is guessing, but it could be possible that Madara had something to with it. We've heard little about the destruction of Uzushiogakure, but the final destruction was probably shortly after Kushina came to Konoha, but we also heard there was war and enemies against Uzushiogakure all the time.
Now this is where it becomes really far fetched, but a lot of people has somewhat accepted that Madara was the 3rd Mizukage, or somehow controlling the Kirigakure through someone else or civil war maybe. At least it is what most "approved" pages say. Now let's take a look at a map of the Naruto world:
We see the Whirlpool country to the right of Konoha and further to the right we see the Water country, which of course harbors Uzushiogakure (Whirlpool country) and Kirigakure (Water country). So the most obvious enemy for Uzushiogakure could very well have been Kirigakure. Also we know very little of Kirigakures participation in any of the great wars, but clearly they must be one of the 5 great villages for a reason (not only cause they had a tailed beast), so they must have done something. And 2 islands being in war without the others noticing (due to their own wars) could be likely. All we know is that Mū and him killed eachother, and that was probably during the 1st great war.
Well I said too much, but my point is, if Madara had something to do with Kirigakures political affairs, and thus provoked wars against Uzushiogakure, he might have grasped the chance to steal a child with a strong chakra from Uzushiogakure. He may also just have done it outside of war, I don't know, but for his current master plan to work the destruction of Uzushiogakure wouldn't be bad either.
So lets just assume Nagato was abducted by Madara, he was placed in some kind of care, Madara may have paid some regular people off to take care of him, used clones, illusion, whatever, it's not really important, but now the interesting part will come (finally). We already saw many hints and pointers in the manga indicating a connection between the Uzumaki clan and the SO6P, which could mean the Uzumaki clan is close related to the SO6P, and hereby I mean their sealing techniques are the same, and so is their life span, and great chakra. Lets assume Madara knew this.
I think the SO6P didn't want anybody else to obtain his powerful eyes, so he made it so that it would be "impossible", or so he thought, but he must have made some sort of "protection" to prevent people like Madara from trying. My suggestion is that it would either cost you your life, or it would make you blind - kind of like Izanagi, which would make it pointless to try.
Also we have seen Nagato switching from rinnengan to normal eyes as a child. I believe this is possible because he had it in both his eyes. If you've noticed Obito now with just 1 eye in Madaras cave hasn't removed his sharingan yet, even though he is so damaged that he shouldn't have any chakra left. This goes for many other examples as well. Like the scene where shisui wants itachi to have his remaining eye, and kakashi as well is a good example. Here is shisui seen with 1 eye:
But we also never saw Nagato use sharingan, so there is a chance for another theory, where Madara never gave his eyes to Nagato. He knew what it would take for a person to obtain the rinnengan. He also knew that it was possible for an Uzumaki to revive them with a certain amount of help, lets say the uzumaki has close bonds to senju, so if Madara were to give some of his "power" to Nagato it would become possible to awaken the rinnengan, maybe the same way as with MS, by feeling the loss of someone close to him (hint: his "parremts" death).
So Madara did this, and then he awakened the rinnengan in his own eyes as well, however, it would make him blind. So in order to avoid this, he had to "kill" himself. This way he figured that if he was revived in this state of his "death" he could obtain the rinnengan and endless power to rule the world. He gave Nagato the power of the rinnengan only. But Madara isn't dead now, why is that? Well the life giving powers of Hashirama that he stole is what keeps him alive right now. So his body is probably dead, but his soul can't leave because the plant keeps pouring chakra into it. It may even be an artificial body, however, that isn't important right now.
So this last part was a bit too much I guess, it's hard for myself to believe it actually, but it's just a theory, lol. Anyway I got some more to support it. For this we need to go back and look at the map. Let's say he actually was gonna go blind, and that he had to kill himself before that would happen. He would need a place very close to Nagatos house. Lets go back to the map of the Naruto world. Actually the Kannabi bridge where Obito fell through the rocks and ended up in Madaras cave, is in the grass country, which is placed next to Ame which is where Nagato lived. So this could support it a bit. Although I know it's still a long shot, but it's been a while since I came with any theories.
In general we can point out some main factors:
Anyway if you made it this far, it must have been a bit interesting, which is all I wanted. Have a good day. :ice:
Oh yeah btw, if all this was true, I would like to see Narutos reaction when Madara tells him that Nagatos entire life is a lie, doesn't matter how much chakra he used, he'd turn to boss mode
PS. I have no idea how awakening him with rinnei tensei could actually work, but there might just be a way, so don't use that argument to break down my theory, I already know U_U but there is many other ways to do it

- Kirigakure was involved with the destruction of Uzushiogakure.
- Madara abducted Nagato, and staged the death scene of his parrents after making the awakening of rinnengan possible.
- Madara turned blind from awakening rinnengan in himself, but killed himself to make revival with rinnengan possible.
- Nagato lived close to the Kannabi bridge.
