When one of those bearers dies, the chakra passes to another person and the rivalry starts again. The explanation is about chakra and a long-running conflict, not about those four characters being biological brothers or direct sons of the Sage. Hagoromo tells it to Naruto while he is unconscious during the war.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-671","pos":671},{"h":"The Sage's power and the Rinnegan","t":"Hagoromo grants part of his power to Naruto and Sasuke: each receives a mark on the palm, and together they can seal. Sasuke awakens a Rinnegan; earlier, Madara had awakened his by combining his Indra chakra with the cells of Hashirama, Asura's reincarnation. Reincarnation explains these particular cases; it is not a rule that works by mixing any Uchiha and Senju blood. The marks of the sun and the moon are later used to seal Kaguya.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-673","pos":673},{"h":"How the archive shows it","t":"These relationships are explained here and in the stories, not through lines of descent on the tree. A family tree requires identified parents. The Reanimation Jutsu reanimates the dead through a different technique and is not proof of kinship either: that Hashirama and Madara return reanimated during the war does not make them blood relatives of Naruto or Sasuke. The same criterion applies to any teacher-student relationship or rivalry between characters.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-671","pos":671},{"h":"The end of the cycle?","t":"Naruto and Sasuke fight at the Valley of the End like Hashirama and Madara, but the outcome is different: Sasuke admits defeat, reconciles with Naruto and together they undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The rivalry is not settled by one of them dying, as in previous cycles. The story does not say that Indra's and Asura's chakra has ceased to exist, only that this time the conflict ends in understanding.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-699","pos":699},{"h":"The Kāma is not chakra reincarnation","t":"Boruto shows another way of being reborn, unique to the Ōtsutsuki. The Kāma is a mark that stores an Ōtsutsuki's data and rewrites the bearer's body until they can be reborn in it. Momoshiki uses Boruto, and Isshiki tries to do so with Kawaki. Boruto even comes back to life thanks to his altered body. It should not be confused with the cycle of Indra and Asura: here there is a deliberate transfer of information, not chakra seeking a new bearer.","lvl":2,"ch":"boruto-67","pos":767}],"characters":["indra","asura","hashirama","madara","naruto","sasuke"],"related":["otsutsuki","senju","edo-tensei","rinnegan","valle-del-fin"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 670–671: Indra, Asura and the previous cycles.","sources":[{"title":"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: contexto del relato de los orígenes","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/anime/naruto2/list/01_904"},{"title":"Madara: infancia, Izuna y la fundación de Konoha","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1663"}],"figures":[]}
