Asura Ōtsutsuki | Narutopedia | Fandom powered by Wikia. Asura Ōtsutsuki (大筒木アシュラ, Ōtsutsuki Ashura) was the younger son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Though not the obvious choice to most, he would go on to inherit his father's teachings, and as a result, would have to clash bitterly against his elder brother Indra. Asura is also credited with being the progenitor of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans. Background Asura and Indra being trained in Ninshū by Hagoromo. In the anime, Asura's birth came with problems, which led to the untimely passing of his mother.[2] Despite this loss, Asura's childhood was peaceful and joyous, spending his time either blissfully alongside his father and brother, or playing with the village children. When old enough, the two began studying Ninshū under their father in the hopes of one of them becoming the great sage's successor. As a child, Asura lived in the shadow of his genius older brother Indra. Having displayed no natural talent himself, Asura came to realise the value of others and the power of the friends and allies he made. Eventually, he awakened his own power which equalled Indra's own. In the anime, despite still admiring his brother's talents, he grew concerned for Indra as he continued to mysteriously grow colder and more distant to others. In the anime, Hagoromo decided to send the two brothers on separate missions of restoration on damaged lands as test to determine which of them would be the successor to Ninshū. Along the way, Asura was accompanied by Taizō, a fellow villager who previously was helped by Asura after he was imprisoned by Indra for breaking a law for the sake of his ill mother. Eventually, their journey through a harsh wasteland found a small and mysteriously thriving village, where Asura sensed the presence of the God Tree. They were immediately met with hostility from the villagers due to recent robberies from travellers, but Asura quickly earned their trust when he healed a girl named Kanna. As Asura went to investigate the village, he found that the main hill was sealed off and guarded. He was then asked by Kanna to help heal her mother, who along with many in the village had been struck by a strange illness. While examining the mother, he noticed small roots appearing on her and a strong chakra presence. Certain that the God Tree was involved, Asura and his two friends knocked out the guards and found a small cave that lead to the inside of the God Tree.[3]Realising that it was the presence of the God Tree saplings that was making the land lush while simultaneously making the people sick by eating its nutrients, Asura approached the village elder. Already having realised the truth of the God Tree, the elder regretfully declined Asura's request to destroy the saplings, noting their people had already lost so many before the sapling's emergence due to the barren land's nature. Deciding the only way to help the people was to provide them with another water source they could rely on, Asura began working tirelessly for weeks digging a well. Eventually, inspired by his selfless actions, the villagers decided to help him dig. During that time, he began teaching them Ninshū, which they used to work further their efforts to the well. After a year passed, they finally struck water, allowing a huge lake to fill beside the village. Happy of their efforts, the villagers proudly burnt down the God Tree saplings, and sick people began to heal from the fresh water and ways of Ninshū. With his job complete, Asura returned home, with many of the villagers, including Kanna, wishing to come with him to see where he learned Ninshū. Upon returning home, Asura met with his father and elder brother, the latter of which had already completed his mission months ago.[4]Asura fighting Indra. On his deathbed, Hagoromo selected Asura as his successor to carry out his dream of peace and understanding in the world.[5] In the anime, Hagoromo chose Asura after seeing how each brother carried out the mission. While Asura insisted that Indra was the obvious choice due to his superior power, Hagoromo made note that through the methods Indra used in completing his mission, he inadvertently caused the village's destruction by leaving them aimless and selfish. The following night, Hagoromo passed on his power to Asura, asking him to reach out to Indra and help him regain his compassion. As everyone began to celebrate Asura's success, Indra, jealous of his brother and further manipulated by Black Zetsu, attacked the village and chose to fight Asura for the title of successor while also seeking revenge on his father and brother for denying him his birthright. Asura pleaded for Indra to reconsider, but his words fell on deaf ears, since Indra sternly believed that power and force were the only true means to ensure peace and order were obtained. As Indra began attacking the citizens, Asura awoke his Six Paths Chakra and was able to fend off Indra's attack. Realising this fight was inevitable, Hagoromo instructed the villagers to pass on their chakra to Asura, allowing his power to fully mature. Using his new power, Asura was able to defeat Indra, who fled in anger while vowing to destroy Ninshū and his younger brother as well. Asura and his family listening to Hagoromo's final words. Several years passed and Asura married Kanna, with whom he had two sons and a daughter. When Hagoromo was on his deathbed, he informed his son about a final meeting with Indra, who vowed to undo all his father's work, even in a following life. Asura comforted his father and vowed to reincarnate with Indra to continue their feud, as he hoped they would one day find a peaceful resolution.[6] After Asura and Indra died, the descendants of both brothers continued this feud for centuries to come. Indra's eventual descendants — the Uchiha clan — would feud with Asura's eventual descendants — the Senju clan. Neither clan knew why or how their hatred of the other came to be.[5] Personality Asura being supported by his friends and loyal followers. In the anime, as a young child, Asura was a carefree and loving child who looked up to and happily played with his older brother. Even though he was the son of the famed Sage of Six Paths, Asura was born with no talent and thus could not accomplish much on his own. Instead, he valued depending on and cooperating with others. In the anime, as a child, he was shown to be impatient and insecure at his limited prowess, unlike his older brother and father.[7] Still, Asura adored Indra and would constantly devote himself to studying, aiming to be like his older brother.[1] Even more, he strongly believed Indra would be the better choice as successor to Ninshū and made no effort in trying to claim the title.[3] At the same time, he was a very determined person, refusing to give up on a goal once he set it.[4] With the help of his countless friends and allies, and through sheer hard work and determination, he awakened his own power. As he never lost sight of his principles and the love he had for others, he believed love to be the key to peace.[5] This ultimately convinced Hagoromo to anoint Asura as the successor to his Ninshū as Hagoromo wanted the world to adopt Asura's way of thinking. When Indra started to deviate from their father's philosophy and teachings by focusing on power to maintain order and rebuffing help from others, Asura, although he loved his brother dearly and was reluctant to challenge him, felt he had no choice but to fight Indra. Before any violent acts would occur between them Asura tried to reach out to Indra in hope the latter would draw away from his hatred but was unsuccessful. Despite the rivalry and hatred between the brothers, Asura always loved and respected his older brother and only wished to be reincarnated over and over again to battle Indra so as to eventually end the feud between them, a dream which would be realised in Naruto and Sasuke. Appearance Asura as a child. 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 possessed stern facial features. In his later years, he had a more pronounced jaw- line and short goatee similar to his father.[6] He wore what seemed to be a blank forehead protector and at a later time, bandages around his forehead. He wore a light- coloured kimono with magatama adorned around the collar. The kimono was held closed by a dark- coloured sash. Underneath, he wore a black full- body suit. Abilities Asura was originally very unskilled. Over the years however, he proved himself a late- bloomer as through gruelling hard work and dedication, Asura awakened his own inherited power: his father's "body" — powerful life force, and physical energy. With this, he gained prowess on par with his genius older brother, Indra. He was also a capable leader, obtaining countless loyal followers. It was because of Asura's philosophy that his father blessed him with his power and made him the successor to Ninshū. He wielded a shakujō and a sword on different occasions, implying skill with both. Ninshū Asura's technique. While a much slower learner than his older brother, over time, Asura greatly improved in this art. Ultimately, he became skilled and knowledgeable enough to pass these teachings on to others.[3] He also proved to become very adept in battling with this art, able to repel his genius brother's initial attack with one of his own.[6] In the anime, he could sense the presence of chakra from noticeable distances and heal people of minor injuries.[3] Asura also developed a technique that produces several spiraling orbs to launch as a projectile.[6] Additionally, he could put people to sleep and perform very capable taijutsu.[7] Nature Transformation Asura's Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. Asurams.eduAsura - Wikipedia. Testa di "Asura", circa XII secolo, da Preah Khan in Cambogia, attualmente conservata al Musée national des Arts asiatiques Guimet, Parigi. Asura (devanāgarī: असुर) è un termine del sanscrito vedico che indica, nel Vedismo, una classe particolare degli Dèi. La derivazione del termine Asura è dubbia, probabilmente deriva dal termine aśu che indica "respiro", "spirito vitale" oppure dal termine as che indica l'"esistere". Interessante è la presenza nella mitologia scandinava di una classe di dei (gli Æsir) con funzioni e prerogative simili, ugualmente in lotta con la classe avversaria dei Vanir. Interessante è notare come in lingua etrusca il termine Aesar significhi divinità, da cui poi il termine Cesare dei Romani, la personificazione della divinità[senza fonte]. Con il termine Asura vengono indicati nel Ṛgveda (testo vedico risalente tra il XX e il XV secolo a. C.) varie divinità tra cui: Savitar (I, 3. Varuṇa (I, 2. 4, 1. Rudra (II, 1, 6), Indra (I, 1. Agni (V, 1. 2, 1) e Soma (IX, 7. Successivamente alcuni di questi Dèi primordiali verranno detronizzati dai Deva (देव); questi ultimi con il tempo acquisiranno connotazioni positive, attribuendo invece caratteri demoniaci agli antichi Asura.

Asura Ōtsutsuki (大筒木アシュラ, Ōtsutsuki Ashura) was the younger son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Though not the obvious choice to most, he would go on to. Da tenere presente, tuttavia, che nei più antichi inni del Ṛgveda i termini Deva e Asura sono intercambiabili, come nel seguente passo: (SA). IT). « Asura dalle mani d'oro, dalla corretta guida, colui che è misericordioso, che aiuta, vieni verso di noi. Respingendo i demoni e gli stregoni, emergi dal buio Deva da tutti invocato. »(Ṛgveda, I, 3. Brāhmaṇa (IX, 5,1, 1. VIII secolo a. C.) che in ambito tardo vedico si trova una prima spiegazione della detronizzazione degli Asura a vantaggio dei Deva. Secondo questo testo ambedue le classi degli Dèi furono originati dallo stesso principio, Prajāpati, e dotati sia della parola vera che di quella falsa, ma se i Deva scelsero il "vero", gli Asura gli preferirono il "falso". Questo sviluppo verso l'opposizione delle due classi di divinità (asura e deva) è comprensibile alla luce di una caratteristica posseduta dai soli asura rispetto ai deva: un particolare potere generato dalla loro misteriosa natura etica (vedi il ruolo di Varuna nel Ṛgveda). Con il tramonto del periodo vedico, la natura misteriosa degli asura si trasformò in "potere malefico" facendo decadere gli asura al rango di demòni[1]. In un'accezione piuttosto tarda il termine Asura viene indicato come "A- sura" ovvero privo di divinità e opposto ad essa (Nirukta, III,2,7). Il termine Asura possiede nell'avestico. Ahura il suo corrispettivo[2]. Ma lo sviluppo nella cultura iranica risulterà opposto: saranno i Daēva ad acquisire le caratteristiche demoniache mentre gli Ahura manterranno i loro connotati solari. In questa opposizione Raffaele Pettazzoni ricorda, nel 1. XIX secolo Martin Haug (1. Difatti Ahura Mazdā è il dio unico dello zoroastrismo, e, secondo questa ipotesi, per infondere una connotazione negativa gli hindu in una fase successiva hanno chiamato Asura le divinità demoniache e negative.[3]Il filosofo ed esoterista Rudolf Steiner, indica, nell'elaborazione delle sue dottrine, con il nome di asura quell'antica forza demoniaca risalente ad epoche primordiali, distinta da quella più recente di Lucifero, e da quella di Arimane (o Satana).[4] Si tratterebbe di entità in grado di sviluppare il male «con una forza anche più intensa di quella delle potenze sataniche nell'epoca atlantica, o degli spiriti luciferici nell'epoca lemurica». Secondo Steiner, il loro influsso sull'umanità, che finora non si è ancora esplicato, comincerebbe già nella nostra epoca a far sentire i suoi primi effetti, che consistono in un ottenebramento della coscienza dell'Io, inducendo l'uomo a credere di essere soltanto il risultato di eventi fisici o puramente materiali, e soprattutto a vivere come se egli lo fosse: « L'uomo non saprà nulla e non vorrà saper più nulla di un mondo spirituale. Non si limiterà ad insegnare che le più alte idee morali umane sono soltanto sviluppi superiori degli impulsi animali; non si limiterà ad insegnare che il pensiero umano è soltanto una trasformazione di ciò che anche l'animale possiede; non si limiterà ad insegnare che l'uomo è affine all'animale in ciò che concerne la sua figura e che anche tutta la sua entità discende dall'animale; bensì prenderà questa concezione sul serio e vivrà conforme ad essa: [.. E in molte cose che qui non è il caso di descrivere, in molte delle selvagge orge di vana sensualità che oggi soprattutto nelle grandi città vanno affermandosi, noi già vediamo risplendere i grotteschi inferni di quegli spiriti che designiamo come asurici. »(Rudolf Steiner, Influssi luciferici, arimanici, asurici, conferenza tenuta il 2.
