Regarding that, in both manga and anime (the adaptation of this moment - during the meeting with Naruto) Hagoromo clearly stated that the Juubi split into 9 Beasts was inspired by Asura's way of life (bonds and other). Also, manga and anime adaptation mentions Hagoromo splitting the Juubi not long before his own death, since Hagoromo also said that this split and Asura's choose as a successor happened roughly at the same time, i.e. when he made the last preparations before parting with the life. where in the anime and manga did hagoromo say he split the jubi based on Ashura's life? in the filer episodes in the anime they show hagoromo split the jubi right after they seal it, before ashura was even born, and besdes those fillers I don't remember him ever saying he was inspired by ashura.

and back to Hagoromo and the jubi, if he split it right before his death, then that means Haruma stayed with him all this time, while he was spreading ninshu and while he was with Ashura and Indra as well, because there was no moon before they sealed the husk, and it was said that hagoromo sealed the husk only after he split the jubi, again, this is the messy part, if haruma left right after they defeated the jubi then there is a contradiction because there was no reason to leave before hagoromo sealed away the husk.
