But if sage really left him everything Ashura should awaken Rinnegan.

No, he shouldn't. He didn't specifically say how much power he left him. He implied that he didn't give Indra power. He probably gave the body part power to Ashura only.

He didn't mean literal power. He meant political power. As inheritor of Ninshuu he was a leader of many followers.

That's why this time I entrusted the same amount of power to both of them.

He wasn't talking about political power.

They should be equal.

Naruto = Ashura
Sasuke = Indra

Nope, that was just bad writing from a rushed plot. He specifically said Ashura gained equal power to Indra without his help, Hagoromo never made his chakra bloom, he only gave "power" after Ashura's chakra bloomed. If he was given literal power then he would have been stronger than Indra which wasn't the case.

When you inherit a group of followers you are inheriting power. And from what we know Senju have had the most political power amongst all the clans.

Hey guys. I skimmed through the chapters again recently and noticed again the fact that Hagoromo entrusted his powers only to Ashura when the two brothers started the first war between them. Indra obviously didn't enjoy the powerup from his father since he thought the right way to go about it was only to give Ashura an advantage.

Since this time around he gave his powers equally to both brothers, do you agree that Naruto appears to be superior than his predecessor because of the lack of an advantage the latter had?

Actually, is it confirmed that he gave his chakra powers to Ashura...or did he simply entrust everything about Ninshu to him? It'd make no sense if he gave him his complete chakra. Then Ashura would have had complete six paths chakra like Obito...so all of his transmigrants should've inherited the complete chakra by default. Also in Ashura's time there was no threat like Madara, so there was no need to giveaway the Yin Yang Seals.

He did. You misunderstood. Hagoromo was talking about acknowledgment of others which was the reason why he got better and stronger, like Naruto did.

He gave power only to Ashura and this time, he gave them both.

No, that was just included.

By training he blossomed and also reached out to others just like BSM naruto.

The power that he gave Ashura was the seals, two powerful seals that were used to defeat Kaguya.

But with naruto and sasuke were give each of them, because he didn't want to make the same mistake again.

Ashura inherited the sages senjustu but he had to work hard for it:



Indra gained it because he was a genius by inheritance:





Naruto gained RSM through training hard (jiraiya, Kakashi, Yamato, and frog sage) while cooperating with the bijuus:



Even the juubi saw it growing in BSM naruto:



Only two bijuus away

While Sasuke was just a dna/chakra transplant away

"That's why this time I entrusted the same amount of power to both of them."

With this alone, it's enough to know what he's talking about.

I think he gave him only the body part power. From his lines, Hagoromo doesn't mean political power, he means actual power. There's no logic in talking about political power when he concerns himself with Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke don't need political power during the war nor do they have any use for it. The logical deduction would be that he's talking about his powers.

According to Hagoromo's comment, he did have his powers.

I'm actually interested what you guys get from his line in the last left panel.

In the past he entrusted "ninshuu" and its teachings to Ashura, now he gave them equal power.


That doesn't mean previously he gave Ashura, the powers he gave to Naruto and Sasuke.

Let we see first if Naruto can work as chakra ghost like Asura did after he die then we talk about who is more superior

Did you even read the last line? "That's why this time I entrusted the same amount of power to both of them."

How do you deduct "ninshu" from that line? He's talking about his powers.

And that will be the yin yang seals

Hagoromoo didn't entrust Ashura with RSM and a rinnegan now did he?

No, it was the power that both Sasuke and naruto displayed with their seals.

The key in that sentence is "THIS TIME". It doesn't matter how much power he gave him. The point is that he gave him some sort of power. I don't know if you people struggle with semantics or simply deny its meaning.

thats what i talked about. Previously he entrusted 1 with the power aka power of ninshuu.. something that was previously known that Ashura inherited from the Sage.

Him saying, " amount of power to both of them." doesn't mean that he gave this power previously to Ashura.. just means unlike the 1-sided like he did last time.. this time hes giving both of them equal power ups.

I said the same thing but everybody refusing to acknowledge that. Hagoromo is a terrible father and a leader for that. I wouldn't be surprise if he gave hashirama power too. hashirama was too damn strong!

Dude, Ninshu doesn't have anything to do here since it has no relevance to Naruto and Sasuke. He was talking about Indra and Ashura in correlation to Naruto and Sasuke. If the correlation is there, there's no way he was talking about political power because it would be of no significance to Naruto and Sasuke. Logical deduction would be that he's talking about his powers.

"That's why this time I entrusted the same amount of power to both of them."

Key points are this time and same amount. The first bolded means that he's done it before and we know it's about Indra and Ashura because he was talking about them in the same premise. The second bolded part indicates that he gave them both power as opposed to last time when it apparently wasn't the same amount. If you don't get this, don't reply anymore. Thanks.

lol dude He gave ashura power. Ashura do not have enough chakra on his own to connect everybody through ninshuu. Therefore his father gave him power to do so.

Ashura is basically featless....

Edit:

Although according to manga (which seems illogical here), Ashura was equal (held the same power as Indra), received "power" from Hagoromo (currently holding power over his former self), but died in combat against Indra (both died, yet Indra was told to have no power up). So it's weird how someone with more power dies/stalemates against someone with less power.....:|

Even so, this is about simple advantage or disadvantage.

My responses usually always revolve around feats, so I can't give you a good answer based on a featless character whose only feat is the "Ashura" avatar, which Naruto made at VoTE.... Unless you want portrayal Lel
