Hagoromo explained why ashura clinged onto Naruto but did he explain why Indra picked Sasuke?

Because Sasuke was naturally talented, and blah blah blah. Indra is stupid.

No, we never got to see their full conversation.

I bet it has something to do with a burning desire for revenge though, and the perseverance to see a goal through to its end.

Oh, and hatred.

Sasuke's birth probably just happened to be around the time Madara died and it went from one host to the next. :sdo: Idk. :lol

Consider Indra and Ashura's reincarnation as that of the avatar lifecycle

His father was head of the clan so his Sharingan genes must have been pretty strong, he had the most ninjutsu talent and he had a sibling with strong eyes which is a requirement for EMS.

Because whenever there's an Ashura reincarnation there has to be an Indra reincarnation. He chose Sasuke he's a genius, Uchiha and since Madara died shortly before Sasuke's birth he had to reincarnate into somebody so he chose Sasuke.

Sasuke was the youngest and easiest to influence sines He was young and stupid only seeing vengeance and noting else. Thats why Black Zetsu’s,Orochimaru and Obito played Sasuke for a sucker.

Well Itachi was a bigger prodigy then sasuke.Itachi was by far the best choice for indra's reincarnation..

True but if Madara was alive then Indra can't move on. And knowing Itachi was already born and of age when kyubi attacked we understand why it couldn't be him. Also of it was Itachi then the powers of solo which are already to much for nv would be overwhelming. Naruto wouldn't last past solo stare let alone in combat.

The conversation was skipped but Indra picked Sasuke cause he would be a talented shinobi in his namesake and when he selects an Ashura incarnate at that same time the Indra Reincarnate would have to be chosen.

Depends on how this transmigration works

1-It happens at birth.

2-It can happen at any-point in the vessel's life and depends on their Ideology.

What Hagoromo said here suggests it might be #2



If it was Situation #2...Itachi wasn't suited because he was a closet pacifist and shunned the Uchiha curse of hatred.

Obito would've been a good choice...but then again, he never possessed double Mangekyu.

Sasuke had the right ideology and access to his full ability.

For the same reason Ashura picked Naruto, the corresponding reason it why Indra picked Sasuke. They are both soloers, both are geniuses and prodigies and both are similar in the paths the walked i.e. vengeful and rebellious path.

Talented, arrogant, overshadowed by sibling (though not at all in the way that Indra was), Uchiha...he fit the Indra archetype pretty well :p
