Oh dear.
Ino: Yeah, people joke about how being born with a kekkei genkai you didn't inherit from your parents is like winning the lottery, but the odds against someone having a Rinnegan make that a lot more literal. Some people say you have to be a Senju to have it, but that makes no sense, because Tsunade-hime doesn't have it and the Amekage's right-hand man does. The source of the bloodline has to go back further than that, unless the Shodai and Nidai's great-great-grandfather had chicks all over the globe. Which given what
they looked like wouldn't entirely surprise me.
Look, I don't believe that old story about the sons of Rikudo Sennin, partly because only an idiot would intentionally give the Sharingan to someone who wanted to enslave the rest of humanity and partly because it really sounds like the kind of thing you say about your enemies to make them look more barbaric than you (which, granted, Uchiha, they didn't exactly need the help). But the wide dispersement of confirmed cases of the Rinnegan (tch, yeah, all, what? Four of them? In the past two hundred years?) means that the first Rinnegan was probably one of The First kekkei genkai ever. And it's incredibly recessive.
Or something, hell, I'm not a medic-nin.

Isn't the Rinnegan actually the Uzumaki bloodline too or something?
Ino:
...huh. That... that would explain a lot. Damn it, why do these question and answer sessions have to be out of continuity?! I could really use information like this!

Why did Kiba put Tsunade in the same sentence as Orochimaru? Is she a mad scientist in this AU?
Kiba: Okay, fine, maybe that Suna lady too... what was her name? It starts with a C, I think. Anyway, yeah, before the Hidden Village system, in the Warring Clan era when most of these flicks are set? Fucking forget anything resembling real medical research.
