the sage has to be the juubi's jinchuuriki to awaken rinnegan but madara doesn't?
Because the Uchihas and Senjus have the Juubi's essence in them, and when Madara combined them (body+ eye of juubi essence) he awakened it, but very very late in his life because it was only residual essence while Rikudou had the Juubi itself inside him.
