Well, I don't know how he would get Madara's lineage, if Madara didn't have the energies to pass down in the first place. Remember that after Madara got Hashirama's DNA, no one ever saw him again because he went into hiding. His rinnegan didn't awaken until he was 400 hundred. He didn't have the power to pass on when he reproduced.
