Ok, so we all know
SO6P=Senju + Uchiha--> Rinnegan
To obtain the Rinnegan you need Senju + Uchiha DNA.
Madara (Obtained hashiramas dna) Tobi (has white zetsu in him) SO6P (obviously has both) and then there is nagato... I believe that the Uzumaki are the Senju and Uchiha combined. Whether Nagato awakened the Rinnegan or Tobi really gave it to him this explains why he could control it so good. This would make the SO6P an Uzumaki.
Reasons this makes sense
1. He had the crazy amount of Chakra to be able to be the Juubi Jinchuuriki
2. He possessed the knowledge of Sealing to seal it inside himself (Uzumaki trait)
3. The main characteristic of an Uzumaki is red hair. Kishi could perhaps only be showing us his silhouette so we are surprised when we finally see the sage being a red haired Uzumaki.
So to sum it all up, To obtain the Rinnegan you need to have Senju and Uchiha DNA, which is what Uzumaki are and the SO6P was Uzumaki.
Let me know what you think
I too think that he was a Uzumaki... or in another words, the people who lived in that era\region were Uzumakis or something else. I think they possessed the ability to awakened the Rinnegan but for some reason only Rikudo was able to achieve it.
In my opinion Rinnegan and Sharingan should be considered two different things. I dont see Rinnegan as an evolution from sharingan. Madara awakened the Rinnegan because he become complete ( with senju and Uchida , dna from the both sons, he became like the Rikudo or the people who lived in that time, region)
For example, I think when SO6P become the juubi host, he changed and gained some powers. After that he had two sons who were born with some of that caracteristics he had obtained from the juubi. If you see the juubi eye is like a powerful sharingan. Because of that were created two separated bloodlines, with their own unique carcteristics. But the pure bloodline is the one before he become the juubi host. That is the bloodline you need to gain Rinnegan. Combined that two bloodlines was a way to revert this.
With all this i want to say that i think the caracteristics of the sharigan were obtained from the juubi and not from the Rikudo.
