Kishimoto uses that word, but the souls do not reincarnate, only chakra does, so he should have chosen a different term in my opinion, because it confuses people. But in this wiki, Reincarnation = Transmigrant. No matter how confusing it is, that's what it is. Kakashi is not a reincarnation of Obito.
