For Sasuke it makes perfect sense. Sasuke was an infant during the Nine-tails attack. The Nine-Tails attack happened quite soon after Madara let himself die. There is definitely possible months between Madara dying and Sasuke being born, but they line up really nicely to go hand-in-hand with the accepted idea of reincarnation. That being when the person dies, they are reincarnated into a new-born.
Its a totally different story when you think about Naruto.
Hashirama lived to see Tsunade as a young girl. He likely only lived until she was about 5. We can round Tsunade's age off to 55, meaning Hashirma died 50 years before the current timeline. This creates a 34-year gap between Hashirama's death and Naruto's birth.
Was there a reincarnation between Hashirama and Naruto that died young? Is Kishi's idea of reincarnation differ from the mainstream in that the soul doesn't reincarnate instantly? Was Ashura's soul sitting idle by waiting for a new person to reincarnate as until Naruto was born? I was curious about people's thoughts on this.
