Otsutsuki Ashura

Otsutsuki Ashura (大筒木アシュラ) is a significant character in the Japanese anime and manga series Naruto. He is the younger son of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, and the younger brother of Indra Otsutsuki. Ashura was not born with natural talent but through hard work and collaboration with others, he awakened power equal to his brother. He believed that love and cooperation were the keys to peace, which led his father to choose him as the successor to Ninshu. Ashura is the ancestor of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans, and his will and chakra have continuously reincarnated, ultimately manifesting in Naruto Uzumaki. Ashura is typically depicted with short brown hair, bandages on the sides of his face, and a light-colored kimono. His character embodies the path to peace through teamwork and love, contrasting with his brother Indra's belief in individual power and absolute rule. Ashura's story is a key part of Naruto's overall narrative, and is crucial to understanding its themes and major conflicts.
