Rinnegan is a Kekkei Genkai

[saaaaaadpanda]

The ocular powers of the sage were only passed to one son. The rinnegan is a KKG because it has a genetic determinant in its use.

maybe only those who possess both uchiha and senju DNA can awaken it

 

[Stark]

It is a KKG

 

[Lux]

Rinnegan is unlocked when an Uchiha gets Senju DNA , maybe if a Senju took EMS from an Uchiha maybe then they could unlock Rinnega.. just a tought...

We don't know yet. We need to wait for an explanation

Hmm.
But Nagato's eyes could have been Madara's if you think about it.
Tobi said he gave Nagato the Rinnegan. BUT Tobi is also a lair. "I am Madara!"

But, on the other hand... What it were true, since Madara wanted to us Nagato to resurrect him with the Rinnegan, Madara could have given the eyes to Tobi to give to Nagato. So maybe those Rinnegan eyes are just Madara's all along.

no senju cant have it because they are descendant from the son with the body thats with the only known senju KG is wood style The uzimaki are related to the senju but a lot about their clan is still covered in mystery.

 

[Prime Rib]

its for uchihas baby ;P

 

[Cosmic Path]

I have a feeling that the rinnegan is the kkg to the uzumaki clan

 

[RockLee X Zabuza]

.....Idk

I believe it's a KKG only for the Uchiha since they're the ones who are descendants of the older son. As the story goes, the older son is the one who inherited the sage's eyes, so it's only logical for them to have it, not the Senju and definitely not the Uzumaki.
