I have a theory on the details of the story of the sons.
My theory is that while the Younger Son did become a Jinchuriki it wasn't until the Sage's death, the Sage said that he chose one to be his successor, now what did he mean when he said he made Ashura his successor?
If Indra disagreed, why was he so outraged, and why did he attack his brother, Ashura basically became chief priest, its not like Indra couldn't go out and get others to follow him and build his own plan for peace.
UNLESS:
When he made Ashura his successor he gave him the Tailed Beasts and made him the Jinchuriki of the 9 tails or something like that.
It was noted that Indra believed that with power anything was possible, maybe it got to the point that he became obsessed. The Tailed Beasts are the ultimate source of power so he may have wanted them.
Now the Sage said Ashura bloomed before he died, but I don't see why that cloak can be his only ability, I think that he developed other abilities before getting it.
Naruto for example developed his own abilities before mastering Kurama's power, Naruto learned Sage Mode which Minato (a known genius) couldn't master and Orochimaru (another known genius) couldn't even achieve.
Maybe Ashura achieved something similar, I think that the form he took with the cloak was a culmination of his power and Kurama's, he was able to manipulate the 9 tails Cloak to what ever form he desired
Now as for the argument about the Sage not splitting the Tailed Beasts, I would like to point out that the Sons didn't fight until AFTER his death.
As for the Mito was the first Jinchuriki, I would like to point out that the only one who said this was Kushina and she doesn't know anything about the Sage or the sons.
As for the argument that the Kurama form Naruto is using is a result of him being the reincarnation of Ashura, I would like to point out that Minato could do it as well.
As for the argument that they are a manifestation of physical energy or life force, if that were true than how could he use the TBB when it was clearly stated that he didn't inherit power from his father.
Now as for Susanoo's origins, I think that when Ashura was choosen over Indra, Indra was so angry that he left, despite Ashura begging him not too.
Indra knew that as Ashura now had the Tailed Beasts he couldn't beat him, so he went and developed Perfect Susanoo to fight his brother with.
PS is established as being powerful enough to battle a Bijuu, something Madara stated.
I have presented my theory as well as my reasoning and counter arguments to the many issues around it.
What are your thoughts?
