I'm just curious whether if only Madara possesses the Rinnegan and if not how
many are there? What are the chances that Sasuke can awaken his Rinnegan?

Other than Madara, who among the Uchiha Clan possesses or successfully awaken the Rinnegan?


So far as the manga goes, only Madara was seen to activate the Rinnegan. Even
Nagato's rinnegan was given to him by Madara before his death.

And so all the rinnegan shown belongs to Madara.

Sasuke will only be able to activate rinnegan if he has Hashirama's cells with
him. And i guess he currently don't have it.

I just realized that the correct answer may be potentially wrong.

As we have seen thus far, Madara and Obito are the only 2 Uchiha to have used
the Rinnegan. Aside from them, Sasuke is the only other Uchiha clan member
that is still alive, whom hasn't awaken the Rinnegan yet.

With that said, Sasuke is potentially capable of awakening the Rinnegan any
second now. Sasuke has bitten Karin many times. Karin is an Uzumaki, which is
a distant relative of the Senju. That means Sasuke has Senju cells inside of
him!

With the DNA requirements fulfilled, Sasuke can pull a quick one and activate
Rinnegan stunning Madara, the Shinobi alliance, and all of us readers :)

As an updated answer, It turns out it was not as simple as we thought, though
it took the Sage himself to explain it.

Based on the Musings of Hagoromo (the Sage of Six paths) He inherited His
rinnegan from his mother, which was then split to each of his children, Indra
and Ashura. It is the combination of their chakras that result in the rinnegan
(Indra + Asura = Hagoromo). The brothers however had a Feud, which somehow
caused their Unique chakras to reincarnate into their decedents.
Coincidentally, they happen to be Uchiha and Senju respectively, which is
where the initial confusion happened with only need Uchiha and Senju DNA. This
is shown best with Danzo, who had Uchiha and Senju DNA for Years, possibly
around the time of Narutos birth, but does not have any Rinnegan eyes in that
collection. Eventually, the Chakras reincarnated into Madara and Hashirama.
Madara obtained the Rinnegan because he was Indras reincarnation and therefor
had Indras charkra, and then he took on Asuras chakra from Hashirama, who was
Asuras Reincarnation. This mix (Asura and Indra) becomes the Sage of Six
paths, with the Rinnegan.

Madara then gave both of his eyes to Nagato, since Nagato could not naturally
obtain them. Rinnegan appear to work like all other Dojutsu in that the eyes
themselves retain their form even after transplanting, as Nagato could never
undo them, they were permanently rinnegan. After Nagatos death, Obito took his
eyes. Obito is unable to awaken the Rinnegan naturally because he is not
Indras reincarnation, and so is still missing Indras chakra despite having
Uchiha and Asura's charkas. he had to implant the Rinnegan, which he could
only implant one of due to their power.

This boils down to meaning that Only Madara and Hashirama could obtain the
Rinnegan from the older characters, And the current generation of
Reincarnations, Naruto and Sasuke as well. Of course, if someone could implant
Sasukes eyes and implement Narutos DNA, they could also obtain the rinnegan
eventually.
