I’ll simple repeat something that I’ve commented before ‘reincarnation’. Kaguya appears to be the originator of the Byakugan, the Shinju that of the Rinnegan. Her sons inherited the chakra; Hamura the Byakugan and Hagoromo the Rinnegan. Hagoromo split his power into two to give to both sons. The eyes were entrusted to Indra, explaining the Sharingan and further evolution, but it missed the other half of Hagoromo’s power to evolve to the Rinnegan. At some point, Indra and Asura became reincarnations, and thus far, only Madara -- the reincarnation of Indra -- naturally evolved to the Rinnegan, after acquiring the DNA of Hashirama -- the reincarnation of Asura at that time. Hence I will stand to my point that not only their chakra and dna is enough, but that it also requires the spiritual connection of the two brothers, who, together, represent Hagoromo.


 * “After receiving half of Hagoromo's power, Sasuke Uchiha's left eye transformed into a Rinnegan containing six tomoe.” I’m going to ignore Hashirama’s DNA transplant here. It’s not included there either. Basically, this means that Sasuke didn’t need his DNA to awaken the Rinnegan. But only one eye became the Rinnegan, with receiving half of Hagoromo’s power. This means that Hagoromo’s spirit, the connection with the sons, is essential for the Rinnegan, if you’re going canon-path.

Just some heads up. I’m not going further into discussion, if you’re continuing to pull the ‘descendants have their chakra’ thing. As well, the Rinnegan is still in competition. I’m merely commenting here to give you heads up that your application may be deemed invalid. It would be a waste of time, if that would have been the case.
