1) Why are you pursuing reincarnation?

This was originally meant to explain many of the god-like abilities Seireitou has had in the past while explaining why, as a fully born Hyuga, he has white hair. Despite the fact that all Hyuugas are shown with dark hair. But more so because Kaguya was the ultimate criminal in a way. Applying her power through a new medium, as a different form of criminal in the way of Seireitou, makes it an incredibly interesting turn of events. At least in my opinion.

2) Who is being reincarnated? And who is their reincarnation? (If this a fanon character or deity, who isn’t important enough to have a page, describe them briefly here, their powers and capabilities).

Kaguya Otsutsuki. Seireitou is the transmigrant.

3) How has this reincarnation happened? Why do they exist?

Now, many people don't realize it, but when Black Zetsu brought back Kaguya, it wasn't really Kaguya. It was the manifested piece of her will using Madara's body. While Black Zetsu, around the time when Seireitou was born, was still working with Madara, Kaguya was aware of Hagoromo and Hamura's wills in the Pure Land. Hagoromo, especially, was observing time run its course and observing the jumping of his two sons from generation to generation. It was around this time that Hagoromo and Hamura became aware of Black Zetsu's existence, since they'd know once he started working with Madara. They would have to act if Indra's transmigrant was being swayed to the darkness and the possible resurrection of their mother. Hagoromo chose Ryun and Hamura chose Seireitou, whom would eventually become rivals in their own right. But Kaguya's soul intervened in Hamura's path. Seireitou was born with a rare genetic trait known as atavism, which is when genetic material (and chakra in this case) tends to revert back to ancestral form, making him the perfect host for her return. It was killing two birds with one stone. She didn't choose Seireitou because he's the "destined one" or bullshit like that, but because it was simply convenient. And she was trying to stop Hamura since it was too late to stop Hagoromo. Her goal would be to use Seireitou was a mere puppet to ensure the completion of her plan, but she hadn't realized Seireitou would grow up with a strong will of his own; choosing his own path, which ironically turned out to be rather dark and malicious.

4) What is the background of said reincarnation?

I uh... I actually think I ended up answering it above in number three.

5) What are the special abilities created due to the reincarnation occurring? (Such as Hashirama’s Wood Release, or Madara’s meteors and Uchiha prowess).

Essentially the Rabbit Goddess Technique, which is similar to the Six Paths technique, but unique to her and Seireitou now. And the Rabbit Goddess Sage Technique. Another I guess would be his Origin Release which is only possible due to his atavism.

6) How is your reincarnation unique? And not a rehash of canon or fanon ones?

I suppose one way it is unique is that it was done in order to prevent another reincarnation. Kaguya did it to stop Hamura's reincarnation, so the two brothers wouldn't be alive to stop her will from succeeding. Seireitou was basically meant to be a pawn, a mere causality, not some "child of destiny". But he ended up taking advantage of it and made it his strength.
