You know it could have very well been both he was referring to. He gave him authority to lead the people and power as well.

What I meant is that we accept the anime as semi-canon as it mostly follows the manga script but expands upon things a bit more. As long as it doesn't contradict, it's acceptable. Not 100% confirmed, but good enough.

I only used what was stated from the databook as he is listed a user on the wiki, and even though he's not listed in the databook doesn't necessarily mean anything. Authority is still power, so you can still say power and mean authority. It's makes no sense that Hagoromo meant actual power in regards to the situation between Asura and Indra when he made no mention of giving Asura actual power during his conversation with Naruto. He went from talking about the paths his sons took to stating that he gave leadership of Ninshuu to Asura to describing Indra's reaction, the start of the feud, and the continuation of the feud through constant reincarnations. No where did he say that he gave Asura actual power. There's absolutely no reason to give Asura actual power. Hagoromo already emphasized that Asura awakened his own power through hard work and cooperation with his friends, not once, but twice. So what would be the point of giving him actual power? That still doesn't mean that is used to confirm things. Please give me an example of when it is used to confirm things There's no indication in the manga that Asura had SPSM and him not being listed as a user in the databook backs this up. So.....what's the issue of me bringing it up?
