"The fairy tale dude?" Naruto asked, confused, "Made the moon or something? I heard it a few times as a kid but what does our clans have to do with a story book guy?"
"Well for one, he's not a fairy tale, the Sage was real," Daiki told him, "And he's the reason the Kyuubi and the other bijuu even exist. Once upon a time, all the bijuu used to one bigger, stronger, scarier bijuu. Called the Juubi."
"…Huh," Naruto blinked, and grasped his stomach, "Even stronger than fuzzbutt at full strength?"
"Way stronger, and way bigger," Daiki nodded, "As in, the Kyuubi at full power is about three times bigger than the he is currently inside your seal. The Juubi, is over ten times bigger than the Kyuubi. More than ten times stronger too."
"But…but!" Naruto went wide eyed and spluttered, "Even the Yondaime, my dad couldn't beat the Kyuubi! How could something ten times stronger exist?"
"It doesn't exist, not anymore," Daiki shrugged, "That's the point. The Sage defeated it, and sealed it inside himself becoming the first Jinchuuriki. And when he was going to die, he split the the Juubi into nine, forming the nine bijuu. Who he considered his own children by the way."
"Ah-ha!" Naruto clapped a fist into a palm, a 'eureka' expression on his face, as if he'd come to the same conclusion, before crossing his arms and nodding sagely, "I see, I see, it all makes sense now."
"You don't even know why this is important do you?" Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Sssh! Shut up Sasuke. I totally know, you don't though. Cuz you're dumb, a mega idiot moron!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at him.
Chidori sounded like good stress relief right about now.
"Sure you do Naruto," Daiki snorted, "Anyway, putting the bijuu aside for the moment. And why I was bringing up your clans. The sage had two actual blood sons. Ashura and Indra. Indra was born with the sage's eyes, and would go on to be progenitor of the Uchiha clan. While Ashura, was born with the Sage's body, and would go on to become the progenitor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans."
'So that's it!' Sasuke's eyes widened at the information revealed to him. So that was the start of his clan. Of their clans! And how they were descended from the
"Um…what's a progenitor?" Naruto asked blankly.
"It means first," Sasuke sighed, looking at his teammate, "It means I'm descended from this Indra guy, and you're descended from his brother Ashura."
"Ohhh!" Naruto's eyes lit up, "Neat! So we're like, super duper distantly related, right?"
"I suppose." Sasuke shrugged.
"Actually, you're far more closely related than you two know." Daiki said.
Sasuke raised a brow. Was he talking about the godbrother stuff?
"Right, so, the Sage, super powerful, godlike really. The closest thing there was to a god," Daiki instead chose to say, "His successor though, he had to choose between his two sons. Now, the sage, he was a real peace loving guy. He didn't like fighting. Swell guy all around, very kind. It's only thanks to him we're actually alive and kicking right now."
He uncrossed his arms and planted them on the desk and leaned back with a sigh, "Now his kids, very different from him," Daiki said and looked specifically at Sasuke for some reason, "Indra, the older brother. A super mega ultra prodigy if there ever was one. Absurdly talented and absurdly strong. He didn't need help for anything. He could do everything alone and needed nobody. He was so talented he made your brother Itachi look like a dunce."
…Okay? Well, the picture was nice at least. But, what did that have to do with anything?
"He was also a massive cunt," Daiki said bluntly and Sasuke's jaw dropped, "Elitist, arrogant, merciless, selfish and a whole lot more, which will be important for later."
He then turned to Naruto, "Then there was Ashura, the younger brother. A total dunce, a bit like you really," he said, ignoring Naruto's protest of 'hey!', "His heart was in the right place though, and despite his lack of talent. He was charismatic, kind and hard working. He never let his lack of talent hold him back, and he made tons and tons of friends who all elected to follow him, a lot like a Hokage really. And after working hard for long years, he reached the point where he caught up to his older brother in strength and power."
He then looked between them both, "So when the time came for the Sage to decide on his successor. He chose Ashura, the best choice that I completely agree with. Man, fuck Indra he's such a useless little bitch."
Wow. That was…that was very vitriolic. 'Should I be offended?' Sasuke wondered, taking in the way Daiki insulted the man his clan originated from. He felt like he should be offended.
But well, the guy was sounding a lot more like Madara…or fake Madara, or whoever that deadman walking was.
'I'll just let it go.' Sasuke decided.
"So Indra, useless baby that he was, threw a tantrum," Daiki rolled his eyes, "'Why you no pick me daddy! Look at me I so stwong! Waaaa! Waaa!'" he turned his voice high pitched and imitated a toddler crying, before snorting, "Basically a whole lot of that. Then he baby raged and attacked the Sage and Ashura and tried to kill them like a Pmsing whiny woman."
Sasuke wasn't even sure how to respond to that. His mouth opened and closed uselessly. Like…what was he even supposed to say? Other than, 'Ah, yes. That's were Madara got it from I suppose.'
"Wow you really don't like this guy," Naruto just burst out laughing, "This guys been dead for how long and he pisses you off this much?"
"Cuz he isn't fully dead," Daiki shut Naruto's laughing up right quick, and Sasuke's eyes widened in disbelief, "See, Indra continued to attack and fued with Ashura for the rest of their lives, and eventually in their last battle they killed each other. But that wasn't enough for him, or Ashura in the end. Even death isn't much for guys like them. And their souls have travelled down their descendants, clinging to specific descendants through the ages and continuing that stupid sibling rivalry for a fucking thousand years."
Naruto looked confused, but a horror filled Sasuke to the core.
Daiki hopped up and placed his hands on both of their shoulders, "Congratulations, your ancestors souls are clinging to you both now in this age," he said with a big wide smile, "Before you two, it was Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. You two are spiritually, technically in a way, reincarnated brothers."
"…Eh?" Naruto gaped at him.
"…Are…are you serious right now?" Sasuke asked, and he felt sick. Some perverted ancestor of his was inside his soul!? And, he'd gone and killed his own brother over just not being his fathers successor.
And been so angry over it, he'd continued for a thousand years through spirit reincarnation bullshit or something?
