Indra became jealous and developed ninjutsu. Thus, the brothers with their respective powers fought each other, ninshū vs ninjutsu. True, but if that were the case, Hagoromo would be switching the meaning of power in the same statement. We know he gave literal power to Naruto and Sasuke, rather than entrusting them with Ninshū. But as has been pointed out, Hagoromo didn't separate the Ten-Tails' chakra into the tailed beasts and entrust Ninshū to Asura until after he gained power equal to his brother. Though the chakra avatar remains a mystery, since that scene is indicated to take place after Hagoromo's passing.
