To awaken the Rinnegan, you need Hagoromo's chakra, the first user of
Rinnegan.

Madara had acquired Asura's chakra, which let him awaken Hagoromo's chakra.
Even though the chakra eventually gets depleted, his Rinnegan still functions
while it feeds on Madara's chakra. In this case now the six path chakra is not
in half, it was full.

Sasuke only received half of Hagoromo's chakra. His Rinnegan also has tomoe,
and consumes chakra when it's active, even without been used. That is
something which doesn't happen with the normal Rinnegan. This suggests that
Sasuke still retains the Sharingan in his left eye, yet has access to the
normal powers of the Rinnegan, despite that eye not being "fully" evolved.

Because Sasuke only got half of Hagoromo's chakra, is this the reason that his
Rinnegan is imperfect and in only one of his eyes?

Does Sasuke have only one Rinnegan eye because he only got half of Hagoromo's chakra?


That is partly the case. You see, Hagoromo is the son of Kaguya, the fruit of
chakra. So, he is the descendant of the creator of chakra. He creates the yin
release and yang release. Naruto gets the yin half, while Sasuke gets the yang
half. Anybody with the yang half can get the special type of Rinnegan, called
the Magatama Rinnegan (I think).

The reason why Sasuke only has one Rinnegan has never been mentioned or
explained in the Anime or Manga. This obviously hasn't stopped speculation
from surrounding it though.

My speculations for why Sasuke only has one Rinnegan would be:

  * Like you said, Sasuke only received half of Hagoromo's Chakra and therefore only manifested one Rinnegan

  * Sasuke's Six Tomoe Rinnegan is special and does not come in pairs like the common Rinnegan

  * The Sharingan is such an iconic part of Sasuke's appearance that Kishimoto did not want to completely replace it.

On a side note, Sasuke's Rinnegan is not considered imperfect. Although, it
does retain the abilities of his Sharingan, this has been observed in other
Sharingan/Rinnegan users, such as Hagoromo and Madara. It also doesn't feed on
his chakra if he's not using it, but he does have to close his Rinnegan if he
overuses it.

I hope I answered your question and please correct me if I'm wrong on any
points.
