The way the Sage talks is so confusing but the lore about Indra and Asura explains why these two have been fighting forever and it makes sense now

I still cannot believe Naruto and Sasuke are basically the reincarnations of the Sages sons and it feels like their whole rivalry was just fate all along

Episode Context

Arriving at episode 421 of 500, this falls deep into the Fourth Great Ninja War arc, directly following the devastating physical toll of the Eight Inner Gates Formation battle. It serves as a critical narrative bridge, shifting from raw combat into the mythological and philosophical dimensions of the conflict. The groundwork laid here, particularly around the Sage of the Six Paths lineage, is essential setup for the war's climactic confrontations still to come.
