Once when he powered up Naruto and Sasuke (something like "this time, I'm entrusting power to both") and once when Sasuke decided to kill the Five Kage while they were still trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi (something like "even if I give power to both, the result is the same"). It makes no sense for this to have been just about choosing a successor when it comes to Asura, since he very clearly gave powers to Naruto and Sasuke, and compared that to having picked only Asura in the past.
