Stronger than Pein
I read the chapter where he says "The Sage of the 6 paths created a moon, doing this is nothing" and I've got to say that I don't think he was saying that the original user of the Rinnegan was strong, I think
he was just placating Konan. Until it can be proved that was what he meant or direct evidence is given, maybe we should edit that part?24.80.233.100 (talk) 00:27, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Its quite obvious that the Sage of the six paths was MUCH stronger then Pein, Pein admitted inferiority.HUNTER* (talk) 01:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Isn't it Rokudou sennin not Rikudou
Isn't it Rokudou sennin not Rikudou. roku means six, I guess it is rikudou. but every dictionary i put the kanji in, it reads rokudou -_-
You're both right and wrong. "Roku" is the usual way of saying "six" in Japanese. "Riku" is an alternate pronunciation that is practically never used in modern Japanese. It is classical, archaic, and nowadays only found in certain phrases and words with a classical feel to them (e.g. "rikugō" (六合, the universe, the cosmos), "rikusho" (六書, the six classes of kanji), and "Rikutō Sanryaku" (六韜三略, two books on the art of war in ancient China, the secrets of the art of war, the secrets to successful living)).
Rikudō is also one of these phrases. It is possible to pronounce it as Rokudō, but as a term of high religious importance, the classical Rikudō is preferred.
Of course, none of this really matters here. The answer to why it's Rikudō Sennin and not Rokudō Sennin is simply because Kishimoto-sensei decided to use Rikudō. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 20:32, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

New information
I figured this would be the best place to discuss the new information revealed in chapter 462...
I'd like to make a few things clear:
The two brothers that inherited the power and will of the Shinobi Sect are not specifically said to be the Sage's sons;
The eyes of the older brother don't seem to be rippled like the Rinnegan, but they appear to have a spiral pattern;
The older brother was blessed at birth with the power of the Sage's chakra and his spiritual energy;
The younger brother was blessed at birth with the Sage's willpower and physical energy;
The older brother was not an Uchiha, nor was the younger brother a Senju. It was their descendants who were called thus.
That should clear up some things. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 01:49, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Throwing this out there, I believe the older son's eyes was indeed the Rinnegan. It's just a small picture and trying to get those ripple patterns correctly doesn't seem possible.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 01:53, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
It's practically the same size as the picture of the Sage above it and there the ripple pattern is clear as day. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 01:59, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Practically the same size and is the same size are completely different in the art world. /shrug just look at the picture of the Sage, his eyes were pronounced, like he was glaring at something. The picture of the older one (or was it the younger) was more a generic profile picture. The eyes weren't ment to be the center point of the image like it was with the Sage.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:47, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Well, it wasn't really my point to claim he had an entirely new dōjutsu or something. I just wanted to show there's enough uncertainty about him having the Rinnegan. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 10:28, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
That image is a lot clearer than any I've seen before. It's obvious now that he didn't have the Rinnegan's ripple pattern, but swirls. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 16:29, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
It is said in page 12 of chapter 462 that the older one inherited his eyes. It is safe to assume that he indeed had the Rinnegan. The reason of it developing into the uchihas' sharingan (probably after the byakugan) is because as Madara states: their blood thinned over the years. - MadaraU (talk) 17:35, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
And the manga image is false?..--AlienGamer--Talk(contribs)-- 17:46, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Actually, "eyes" in that sentence isn't used literally, just like the "body" that the younger brother inherited. Madara means that the older brother was blessed with the power of the Sage's chakra and his spiritual energy. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 18:15, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
I'm actually going to side with ShounenSuki on this one. The eyes are definitely spiral-patterned; possibly a midway between the Rinnegan and the Sharingan (and Byakugan???). btw, why havent we made a page for these two anyways?--NurXang (talk) 18:54, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
Somebody added the Uchiha and Senju symbols to the pages of the older and younger brother, respectively. I was wondering if this was such a good idea, seeing that they weren't of those clans themselves. --ShounenSuki(talk | contribs) 19:28, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to add that, the older brother could be conneted to Uzu no kuni seeing as the older brothers eyes are literally an Uzu uzu = swirl. I don't find it far fitched that a man would name a contry after the shape of his eyes. But it's still only speculation.
