The pattern of the Rinnegan on Madara and Sasuke are different. Looks like
Sasuke's Rinnegan have different abilities compared to Madara's. Likewise,
Mangekyou wielders have their own special abilities.

naruto
Does the Rinnegan have different abilities depending on the user?


Madara's eyes were the first to awaken the Rinnegan. He then transplanted them
into Nagato. Obito took one of the Rinnegan eyes and transplanted into
himself.

First we look at [Nagato's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nagato) case.

Nagato inherited both the eyes through transplantation. Meaning: _those
weren't his original eyes_. He was capable of using several of the above
mentioned techniques.But not all. From
[Nagato's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nagato#Rinnegan) wiki article
(emphasis by me):

> Though he was **not the eyes' original owner** , being an Uzumaki allowed
> him to use the Rinnegan to their full potential

Obito took **one** of Nagato's eyes as a replacement. He was seen using
several techniques too. From [Obito
Uchiha's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Obito_Uchiha) wiki article (emphasis by
me):

> Although he used only one eye and was **not its original owner** , Obito
> nevertheless gained a great deal of power from it. He is capable performing
> all of the Six Paths Techniques with the Rinnegan, but he is only ever seen
> using abilities of the Outer Path: he can summon the Demonic Statue of the
> Outer Path, create chakra chains to restrain targets, and use Outer Path —
> Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive the dead in exchange for his
> life.

Obito and Nagato were seen to have _almost_ the same set of Rinnegan skills
(Rinne-Rebirth, Six Paths of Pain Techniques, etc.), although Nagato was
better experienced with their use. From the above, it is safe to presume that
the Rinnegan's abilities don't have different set of Rinnegan-based skills.
Since Nagato and Obito aren't the original owner(s) of the eyes, there is a
certain degree of extent to which they can use the Rinnegan eyes.

From [the Rinnegan wiki article](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan):

> The various abilities of the Rinnegan remain intact upon being transplanted
> into another individual, but only when both eyes are wielded by the original
> owner can their full power be accessed.

Hence [Madara](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha#Rinnegan)\-

> Because Madara was the eyes' original owner, only he could use them to their
> fullest power.

This also explains how he was able to use
[Limbo](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Limbo:_Border_Jail), as he was the real
owner and knows techniques of the Rinnegan better.

Coming to [Sasuke's
Rinnegan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sasuke_Uchiha#Rinnegan), it is
practically the same as the standard Rinnegan .

**Conclusion** : The Rinnegan abilities **don't** differ from shinobi to
shinobi. It is kinda like, the original owner has the complete mastery over it
whereas the ones who borrow it have a piece of the action.

**Note** : Rinnegan and Rinne-Sharingan are not the same.

[Sume-mase's answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/17073/49) is wrong
because :

  1. Kaguya and Sasuke's dojutsu aren't the same. Kaguya has the Rinne-Sharingan while Sasuke has a Rinnegan (evolved from a Sharingan). 
  2. Sasuke having the tomoe pattern on his Rinnegan has nothing to do with Kaguya. If it had been like that , Madara's **Rinnegan** would also have the tomoe pattern.

Sasuke has a unique Rinnegan from my own point of view. I think Sasuke's
Rinnegan is somehow between the usual Rinnegan and the Rinne-Sharigan. Here
are my reasons:

First the person that ever awakened the Rinnegan was Hagoromo Otsustuki which
is basically a mutation of Rinne-Sharigan and Byakugan which are his mothers
original Doujutsu and Madara obtaining power from the combination of Indra and
Asura's Chakra created Hagoromo's Chakra thus giving him the Rinnegan. The
Rinnegan when awakened manifests in both eyes, if you recall after the battle
between Madara and Hashirama, Madara died but he already foresaw his losing to
Hashirama and made a time activating Izanagi at the cost of losing the sight
in one eye but when he manifested the Rinnegan he regained sight in both eyes,
therefore the eyes Sasuke has is not a Rinnegan and also not a Rinne-Sharigan
but a mutation because he activates it in one eye and it looks like Rinne-
Sharigan which has just one eye and he has six Tomoe in his Rinnegan while the
Rinne-Sharingan has 9 tomoe i think the reason why sasuke does not have the
full Rinnegan is because Hagoromo shared his power between him and Naruto and
since he did not get Naruto's DNA or cells into him but a much tinkered cell
of Hashirama perhaps that is why his Rinnegan mutated.
