I'm asking this question because I think it is crazy that the only people who
ever got the EMS in _Naruto_ series are reincarnations of Indra.

Does someone need to be a reincarnation of Indra to be able to get the EMS?

No, you do not need to be a reincarnation of Indra to get EMS (Eternal
Mangekyo Sharingan). To obtain EMS you must take the eyes of another Mangekyo
Sharingan user, but they must be family, most commonly a brother. Examples
would be Sasuke taking Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, or Madara taking Izuna's
Mangekyo Sharingan. You have been confused because Madara and Sasuke are the
only people in the Naruto-verse to have EMS, and they are reincarnates.
Itachi's "Goal" was to obtain EMS from taking Sasuke's eyes (He is not a
reincarnate).

Although it's quite weird that only Indra reincarnations are the only ones
that have achieved Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it does not necessarily mean
they're the only ones who can awaken it.

According to <https://fear-world.fandom.com>:

> The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is the second strongest dojutsu kekkei genkai
> of the Uchiha clan, being a more powerful variant of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
> this dojutsu can only be awakened by a user of the standard Mangekyo
> Sharingan transplanting the eyes of a relative who has also awakened that
> dojutsu.

Based off of the info given in the website, in order to achieve an Eternal
Mangekyou Sharingan, one must awaken a Mangekyou Sharingan, take the eyes of a
close relative (usually brother or sister) who **also** possesses the
Mangekyou Sharingan, and thus an eternal one awakens.

The only shown to awaken this are Sasuke Uchiha and Madara Uchiha.
