I recently spoke with a Buddhist friend, concerning the previous chapters.
Like others have pointed out. The Symbol on Naruto's hand is not a Sun, it is a Full Moon:

Sasuke's is a Crescent Moon
The Rinnegan itself are the two Moons combined (Lunation)

Hagoromo is the Moon (Yin) his brother is the Sun (Yang)

And this is what he said:
It is no wonder the Rinnegan has all the heretical "Outer Path" connotations, because its owner: Hagoromo, is a heretic, the Sage is darkness.
Further proof that the symbol on Naruto's hand is not the Sun are the panels of Ashura and Indra:

the sky is dark, it's a night sky, and it's a full moon and crescent moon, the two parts of the Yin Brother (Hagoromo) the opposite of the Yang Brother (Light)

The introduction of the other brother indicates that Hagoromo and his Bro represents dual opposites: Light and Darkness, which one represents Light and the other Darkness remains to be seen, although with Hagoromo's candor and approach in solving things through subjugation and force it is reasonable to believe he is the Darkness of the two: The Danzo to Hiruzen so to speak, the Rinnegan has all the heretical Outer Path connotations because the original owner Hagoromo is a heretic (as my Buddhist friend said) the only difference between Hagoromo and Kaguya is the degree of their Outer Path Actions: Kaguya is tyrannical while Hagoromo is pragmatic, none the less both ascribed to the Outer Path heresy by seeking peace through stolen power aka Chakra.
Also. If Hagoromo really intended Indra and his transmigrants to cooperate and reconcile with Ashura, then why did he made the Tablet only clearly readable with an EMS, and fully readable with only the Rinnegan? why leave a message of reconciliation and peace which is only clearly and fully accessible through the pursuit of more power? unless he truly intended and pigeonholed Indra's reincarnation to take power (EMS by taking brother's Sharingan and Rinnegan by stealing Ashura's Chakra/Senju DNA) why would he need to subject Indra's transmigrants to pursue and steal power just to read it?
I just recently came upon further evidence that Hagoromo and his bro represent Yin and Yang:

The stones the brothers are standing on when they fought Juubi,it represents Izanami and Izanagi, the Shinto cosmic duality of Yin (Izanami) and Yang (Izanagi)

Quite the contrary, the concentric circles represents the Lunar Phases:

Even if the curse of hatred started with Indra it could have
Been acquired genetically. I remember Tobirama saying something
along the lines of when uchihas experiences a traumatic event
Something goes off in their brain.
I'll be honest since I got caught red handed
I didn't steal it from sir derp, I got it from some guy off naruto forums
And thought id share it. My Kaguya theory is 100% mines though
I am no Buddhist, but I do know the wheel of reincarnation and Hagoromo's six path techniques and characterization reflect those. They are not heretical, they are the very core of Buddhism. The six realms or reincarnation that cleanse you of sin and lead you to enlightenment or Nirvana.

Hagoromo has not solved anything through force. His ninshuu was meant to connect people, not subjugate them. It doesn't control or restrain them, it allows them to speak to each other with their minds. And he gave his powers to the Yang son rather than the Yin and is now giving them equally to Naruto and Sasuke. If he were Yin, wouldn't it have been logical for him to have picked the Yin son? Hagoromo did not steal chakra, his mother did. He just distributed his own chakra to the people and gave the juubi life and conscious by breaking it into the bijuus that could protect the world from conflict.

If Hagoromo really intended Indra and his transmigrants to cooperate and reconcile with Ashura, then why did he made the Tablet only clearly readable with an EMS, and fully readable with only the Rinnegan?why leave a message of reconciliation and peace which is only clearly and fully accessible through the pursuit of more power? unless he truly intended and pigeonholed Indra's reincarnation to take power (EMS by taking brother's Sharingan and Rinnegan by stealing Ashura's Chakra/Senju DNA) why would he need to subject Indra's transmigrants to pursue and steal power just to read it?

No, that is your personal comprehension of them. It is not fact. The two mounds they stand on are hills of earth, not stone, are equal in size, have their own ropes and amulets and are not connected. Furthermore, Hagoromo and his brother are siblings, not husband and wife like Izanami and Izanagi lols...
