From the "Ninja Sect" created by the Sage of Six Paths, it was clear that he had hoped chakra would become a force that maintained trust and bonds between people.
Yet humanity had refined chakra to perform ninjutsu, turning it into a weapon for killing and war.
The Sage of Six Paths could not understand it. People could clearly rely on chakra to connect with one another, so why had they gradually become unable to understand each other?
Then Asura and Indra appeared, continuing the conflict between those ideals.
Indra had been a genius from childhood and believed strength was the only way to solve problems, while Asura believed "love" was the answer to every problem.
In the end, with the help of others, Asura defeated Indra.
Unfortunately, neither love nor absolute strength could bring peace.
After all, this was a manga. Love was naturally bound to triumph over the thirst for power.
And although Asura's talent was inferior to Indra's, he had inherited the Sage Body. How weak could he possibly have been?
If an ordinary person without the Ōtsutsuki Bloodline had truly been able to defeat Indra, that would have been far more convincing.
This had always been a distorted world, lacking sufficient cultural foundations and merely developing according to the will of a handful of people.
When someone as powerful as the Sage of Six Paths could determine the direction of an entire civilization's development, was that not still strength deciding everything?
If the Sage of Six Paths had possessed no strength, would anyone have listened to him telling them what to do? If Hashirama had possessed no strength, would Uchiha and the other ninja clans have let go of their hatred?
