so i had a thought, is Indra really that much better than Ashura? or is something else at play. when we see indra and ashura study it is clear that Ashura is actually not very interested in what they were studying. and as many can attest. your learning curve in any given subject is influenced heavily by interest. what i mean is that if you have absolutely no interest in wood shop, are you going to do good in it? Maybe Maybe not. as for learning jutsu could it be more logical that instead of actually being considerably better than Ashura that maybe Indra's learning curve had nothing to do with being smarter but the fact that he is the one who invented hand signs and Jutsu.. i mean Indra was shown figuring out specific hand signs that worked best for infusing chakra for his jutsu. but he didn't instantly get skilled in it. lets say we did the reverse and had Ashura be the one who actually developed his own hand signs at the same time. ones that were easier for him to use. wouldn't you recon that they might be closer in actual skill in that manner. when you think about it. indra required years of intense training to get to has powerful as he was, yet after coming back from there perspective journeys and being attacked by Indra, ashura responded with techniques that allowed him to counter Indra's powerful jutsu. despite not training as hard as Indra. so in a way Ashura was naturally gifted because he didn't have to develop or train as hard as his brother
