The question is derived from Suigetsu's dialog to Mitsuki in _Boruto: Naruto
Next Generations_ episode 30.

> Boruto is your _sun_ , isn't he?

We both see the sun and the moon has been associated with Hagoromo and Hamura
Otsutsuki. They can be reincarnated since both are dead, and Naruto and Sasuke
are reincarnations of Indra and Asura respectively.

Is this possible?

question
naruto boruto
Hagoromo Otsutsuki reincarnation


> Boruto is your sun, isn't he?

This dialogue is a figure of speech. Here Boruto is _Mitsuki's_ sun, meaning,
he brightens up Mitsuki's day. Or to put it simply, Boruto brings joy to him.
The context of the scene is crucial.

Next, the Otsutsuki brothers do not reincarnate. Indra reincarnated to fulfill
his mission of a perfect world, under his reign. Ashura reincarnated to stop
Indra and save him from the blindness, with his love. Hagaromo entrusted
Ashura with Ninshu, thereby clearing all his goals. Whereas Hamura entrusted
his will to his clan. Both had no reasons to be reincarnated.
