Asura Ōtsutsuki

Asura Ōtsutsuki (アシュラ, Ōtsutsuki Ashura) was the youngest son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and heir to his teachings. He is also the ancestor of the Senju clan, as well as the Uzumaki clan.
He is voiced by Oki Sugiyama and Momoko Ohara as a child in the Japanese version, and by Chris Hackney and Alex Cazares as a child in the English version, who also voiced Lily in Glitter Force and Carlino Casagrande in The Casagrandes.
==Background==
As a child, Asura lived in his genius brother Indra's shadow in every conceivable way, having displayed no natural talent himself. Because of this, Asura came to realise the value of others and their power of the many friends and allies he made before eventually awakening his own power which equalled that of Indra's.
On his deathbed, Hagoromo selected Asura to carry on his dreams of peace for the world. Indra, believing that he should have been chosen, fought Asura to try and claim what he felt should have been his birthright. Indra's descendants — who would become the Uchiha clan — would continue this fight with Asura's descendants — who would become known as the Senju clan.
==Personality==
Asura believed that love was the ultimate key to peace, and loved his father greatly as well. Though the son of the famed Sage of the Six Paths, Asura was born with practically no talent, but because of this, he learned the value of depending on and cooperating with others. Through sheer hard work and determination, he was able to awaken his own power. Because he never lost sight of the value in people, he would ultimately become the successor to his father's ninshū as Hagoromo wanted the world to adopt this way of thinking.
==Appearance==
Asura had short, spiky brown hair — two locks of which were wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face in a similar manner to his brother. He also wore what seemed to be a blank forehead protector and at a later time, bandages around his forehead. He wore a light-coloured kimono which was adorned with magatama around the collar. The kimono was held closed by a dark-coloured sash. Underneath all of this he wore a black full-body suit.
==Abilities==
As a child, Asura was considered to be unskilled, much unlike his genius older brother, Indra. Over the years, through gruelling hard work and dedication, plus support from his friends, Asura awakened his own power, his father's "body": life force, stamina, and physical energy; power rivalling that of his brother's. This allowed him to have a greater longevity and strong vitality, as well as massive chakra reserves. He also became a capable leader, obtaining countless loyal followers. It was this way of operating that caused his father to make him the successor to ninshū.
In battle, Asura was seen encased in a three-headed, six-armed avatar wielding several dark-coloured spheres not unlike Naruto and Kurama's own. Although smaller in size, this avatar was capable of going head to head with Indra's final Susanoo. He also seen wielding a shakujō, as well as a sword on different occasions.
===Descendants===
After many years passed, Asuralineage later became known as the Senju and Uzumaki Clan. Both of his descendants would inherited his powerful life force and chakra. His descendants in the Uzumaki Clan would have a common trait amongst their clan members of having red hair. Due to their distant relations for that reason the two clans remained close allies throughout the years. Members at times married between clans, as with Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki. They also shared very distant relations with the Uchiha clan as they were descendants of Indra. During the Warring States Period the Senju and the Uchiha clan continued their ancestors feud. Until Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the reincarnations of Indra and Asurastopped the fighting and created the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. Due to the Senju's and Uzumaki's relations, the Hidden Leaf Village, the Senju chose to symbolize their clans' friendship by adding the Uzumaki's emblem to Konoha's flak jackets. After the Uzumaki clan was nearly destroyed due to world's nations banded together to destroy Uzushiogakure. The remaining survivors of the Uzumaki clan immigrated to other countries with Kushina Uzumaki in Konoha and with Fusō in Amegakure and Karin in Kusagakure. Kushina would have a son named Naruto would be the next incarnation of Asura. Years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto would marry a clansmen from the Hyūga Clan who also shared distant relations to the Senju and Uzumaki Clan. In the result of them having two children, resulting in the Byakugan being introduced into his descendants.
==Legacy==
Hagoromo noted that Asura's chakra remained even after his body was destroyed, and it was Reincarnation in various individuals throughout history who all inherited his will. His prior reincarnation being Hashirama Senju. Naruto Uzumaki is the current inheritor of his will.
Asura's ideals also allowed his father to realize a new possibility for the world, and with this he used the Creation of All Things to separate the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine tailed beasts, gave each of them names, in the hopes that when the time came, they would to be reunited as a single entity, yet not as they originally were, and that one shall appear at that time to show them what true power is. The beasts would come to believe this individual to be Naruto centuries later.
