During the Fourth Shinobi World War, it is revealed that after losing to
Hashirama at the Valley of the End, Madara implanted Hashirama's cells into
his wounds

> which led to him awakening the Rinnegan.

Later, it is also revealed that:

> Madara and Hashirama are transmigrants of Indra and Ashura, and one needs
> both Indra's and Ashura's chakra to awaken the Rinnegan.

If Hashirama had instead implanted Madara's cells into his body, would he also
have

> awakened the Rinnegan?

naruto
What if Hashirama had implanted Madara's cells into his body?


It's not the cells but the eyes he would need to have Rinnengan, this is from
[Naruto wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan):

> Because the Rinnegan was wielded by the Sage of the Six Paths, merging the
> chakra of his two sons, Indra Ōtsutsuki and Asura Ōtsutsuki, within one's
> body brings forth the Sage's chakra, which can evolve their Sharingan into
> the Rinnegan. This was proven when Madara Uchiha, Indra's reincarnation at
> the time, awakened the dōjutsu from his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan by
> infusing the DNA of Hashirama Senju, Asura's reincarnation at the time, into
> his body; however, it did not manifest until many years later when he was
> near death. At some point after this, Madara would implant his eyes into
> Nagato — a young boy of Senju lineage.

Also there is a theory from Orochimaru and Kabuto, that says Sharingan came
from Rinnegan, so without these eyes no Rinnegan:

> They theorised that because the Sharingan originated from the Rinnegan, it
> was possible for the dōjutsu to change into the Rinnegan as part of a
> "natural evolution"
