I'm back!I know I'm probably annoying you but you've really got me thinking about this theory.
I guess I should start by saying that after going back over some manga chapters you've got me convinced that unlocking the Rinnegan doesn't need Senju DNA. I'm also convinced that Madara gave Nagato the Rinnegan. But I think there is a deeper reason as to why Madara specifically wanted an Uzumaki/Senju relative. I think that certain powers of the Rinnegan can only be used by someone who possesses the body (Youngest Son's/Senju DNA).
But anyway, I think the reason Madara needed an Uzumaki is not because they have powerful chakra but because the "creation of all things" type of techniques, such as the moon thing and bringing back the dead, can only be used by a Rinnegan user with Senju blood. I think A Uchiha who's unlocked the Rinnegan can only use the path techniques and whatever other techniques we don't know about+their EMS stuff. Because if it were simply about having a lot of chakra, to be honest Madara could've gotten Tobi to revive him easily, as Tobi obviously has enough chakra for Rinnegan.
To me that makes perfect since if bringing people back to life requires Rinnegan+strong Senju blood. I think Tobi was originally going to use Harishima's cells to enhance Nagato's powers to Sage status and use his Rinnegan to fully revive Madara when the time was right. Since Tobi wasn't of Senju blood, he couldn't use the same types of Rinnegan powers as Nagato had. I think having the blood is more important, and just having Harishima's cells will only get you so far. This also in a way explains why Nagato couldn't use Sharingan abilities, but could use Uchiha+Rinnegan abilities. I think because Nagato wasn't of Uchiha bloodline, he couldn't tap into those Sharingan abilities as easily. So it's kind of like he had to use the powers "as is", which is why he could only use the Rinnegan abilities. Like how Itachi said the Rinnegan is a completly new technique, Nagato could only use the technique that was implanted in him at the time. He can't use the separtate EMS moves like Susano or anything. So he got the Uchiha+Rinnegan moves (6 paths) plus since he's Uzumaki he got the Senju+Rinnegan moves too(bringing back the dead, moon thing)
So in essence, I think the Rinnegan is something only a Uchiha can unlock, but certain abilities are off limits to them. And the goal was to eventually revive Madara, and that's why he wanted an Uzumaki, because you need enough of their DNA to use the Rinnegan's ability to bring back the dead. What do you think about that?
At least we have progressed, now that you get what im trying to say about the natural evolution of the rennigan and madara giving nagato the rennigan. You might be onto something :shrug:, because what we can confirm is that madara did give nagato the rennigan, but also wanted to be revived by him, Nobody really knows why he chose nagato and what you've said could be right, although i believe its because of the nagato's (uzumaki) powerful chakra that is needed for the rennigan to work properly. It would in essence feel right at home embedded in another who has powerful chakra
