The short answer is simple and misleading Sharingan/Kyubi hax! blah blah blah seeing into each other hearts, whatever.Originally Posted by Archangel
The long answer (and true one) is much more fascinating.
During the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, The many lands and tribes of the Naruto world were linked together by a series of electronic connections they called the "binternets" and for a while it was good. Soon though the people wanted more direct and less hampering interfaces to the binternets so they developed ninja techniques that allowed them to mindmeld with the binternets. Little did they know at the time that the cost of mindmelding with the binternets was a tiny piece of your soul would forever float around in syberspace.
When it was discovered that there was a costly price for this service, as well as growing weary of everyone dicking around all the time in syberspace chatrooms they dismantled the binternets to encourage productivity and critical thinking again. Haven't you wondered why sometimes they have some really awesome technology in Konoha but usually they do things the long and sucky way? It's because they used to by hyper modern technically enabled and have reverted to the ways in which people don't slack quite so much. Anyways, a unique consequence of them shutting down the biternets was that those souls that were in a chatroom together at that moment are forever entwined. (like Oro's arms and Sarotobi Sensei) It just happens that in a past life Sasuke's little bit of soul, and Naruto's little bit of soul were chilling with each other. God knows how many reincarnations later (8 for those playing at home) Naruto and Sasuke are able to communicate when they are all excited 'n shit and near each other because a tiny bit of their soul is still mind melded in that depricated syberspace chatroom. Forever arguing over who would win in a fight astronauts or cavemen.
Did that help?
