Dude Haxs... This is Naruto, not Inuyasha.

They're two completely different manga that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Quoting Inuyasha or comparing it to Naruto adds absolutely nothing to your credibility. Kikyo and Kagome are Kikyo and Kagome, not Naruto and Sasuke. They're not related in any way.

In these two different universes reincarnations and transmigrations are different as well. There is a reason why the word "transmigrant" was used instead of reincarnation by the author.

In the case of Asura and Indra "reincarnating" they would be themselves, not anyone else. There would be no Naruto or Sasuke, only endless Indra's and Asura's as they reincarnate over and over again into new bodies. They are referred to as "transmigrating" because they aren't being reborn into new bodies, only being attached to them in a sense. Think of Naruto and Sasuke as drivers while Indra and Asura watch from the backseat, only helping by lending their chakra and ideals to their newest transmigrants.

It may seem like I'm over-analyzing here, but the author thought it was important enough to distinguish, so we as fans should find it important as well.
