Why did Madara choose Nagato of all people to give the Rinnegan?

[Sexy Jutsu]

Just curious about this. Is it because he's an Uzumaki and he wanted to give it to someone with the Senju bloodline? (Uzumaki are related to Senju).

 

[Hus]

because he was an Uzumaki

 

[Uchiha Josephus]

Because he was of the Senju lineage.

Senju body + Uchiha eyes = control over the Gedo Mazou.

 

[Uzumaki Matthew]

It was because he's an Uzumaki and either it was the Uzumaki closest to him or madara knew he would experience pain

 

[Sexy Jutsu]

Because he was of the Senju lineage.

Senju body + Uchiha eyes = control over the Gedo Mazou.

At a certain point wasn't it mentioned that Obito was basically training Sasuke to be the next Nagato basically? (to be compatible with the Gedo Mazou). How would Sasuke have done this? He has the Uchiha eyes obviously, but not the Senju body?

 

[Out Of Ctrl]

Because Nagato is the bawse xd And of course this

Because he was of the Senju lineage.

Senju body + Uchiha eyes = control over the Gedo Mazou.

Did Madara not answer this in the manga?

 

[Simple Math]

Because he was of the Senju lineage.

Senju body + Uchiha eyes = control over the Gedo Mazou.

this

 

[shri3kbat]

Not because he is Uzumaki but half Uchiha and half Uzumaki (Senju)

 

[TurrinB]

He was an Uzamaki with great potential, perfect for the Rinnegan.

Just curious about this. Is it because he's an Uzumaki and he wanted to give it to someone with the Senju bloodline? (Uzumaki are related to Senju).
