Yup. I understand. This is merely an analysis with no direct link with neither the manga nor the anime version. But I can edit this if further explained in the next chapters.

One more possible aspect could be - those 2 being the re-incarnations of Ashura and Indra.

@R.J Possibly, but again the symbols given to them are similar to their clan symbols, the uchicha clan has a more resemblance than the Uzumaki clan, the senju clan symbol is a lot different.

Probably a subset kind of thing. The circle can be split into 2 and be represented as a part of Senju clan symbol. Anyways, its purely on speculation for now unless there is more information by Kishimoto.

I mean, symbolic traits are a given, but not for a second will I think it's more than convenient marks for the arms that Naruto and Sasuke will use for their respective final attacks against each other for a super sized page during their fight. They do it in every single one of their fights with each other.

Assuming that the symbols are **Moon and Sun**, it is very much related to the Symbol Yin Yang.

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/gowfd.png)

The first character yin means: overcast weather; feminine; ***moon***; cloudy; negative electrical charge; shady.

The second character yáng means: positive electrical charge; ***sun***.

The simplified characters clearly show the moon/sun symbolism, since they can be deconstructed to their elements moon and sun. The element is a variant of the radical which means "abundant". So Yin Yang could represent the contrast between the moon and the sun.

But Yin Yang is much more than just a pair of opposites. It conveys the idea that each of the opposites is dependent on the other, and how they continuously transform from one into the other.

Another thing, according to [First Principles: Symbolism of the Sun and Moon](http://www.snowcrest.net/sunrise/apolar1.htm):

Sun can be translated as fixidity, steadiness, firmness, and strength of purpose. The Sun rises day after day regardless of weather conditions, the behavior of humanity or the placement of planets in the sky. It traverses its set path, always giving light and heat and asking nothing for itself in return. Very much like Naruto.

Moon is said to rule the senses and emotions. Moon is said to be fickle and changeable. Emotions change and fluctuate as our thoughts and attitudes change. Synonymous to Sasuke.

# Conclusion:

Naruto and Sasuke (Reincarnation of Indra and Asura) is described to be opposite or contrary with each other but they are interconnected and interdependent naturally; and they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

As per the chakra, well, I think it is also connected (Naruto is Bright Yellow/Light while Sasuke is Dark Violet?/Dark). The nature (wind and fire) is different.
