Could someone transplant the Rinnegan from one of Pain's paths?


Could someone transplant the Rinnegan from one of Pain's paths?

For example, from the male Chikoshodo (summoning) Pain that the Leaf had in
their possession.




I have to say NO.

My reasoning is based on the time when Tobi is hunting for the Rinnegan after
the death of Nagato. After he kills Konan, he finds the corpses of Yahiko (who
was also the Tendo's body) and Nagato, and pulls only the body of Nagato to
his dimension and leaves the body of Yahiko in the same place. If he would
have been able to use Yahiko's eyes, I reckon Tobi would've picked that body
as well. Seeing how he chooses to ignore Yahiko's body would suggest that only
Nagato's eye truly matters and it's the real Rinnegan.
