In Naruto anime episode 468, Asura is shown to be using a Rasengan based jutsu
against Indra. If I'm not wrong, the Fourth Hokage Minato invented Rasengan
several years later. Am I missing something here?

How is Asura using Rasengan?


It may not have been rasengan, but just gathering chakra and rotating it for
more power. My defense of this would be Indra's using a similar jutsu to
chidori in this filler arc. Both jutsus are similar to the modern day jutsus
we know, but not quite the same

One hypothesis that can be presented is that a large no. of jutsus had been
created in the past but their knowledge and techniques might have got lost
with time.

I think it was just to show how Indra and Ashura are similar to Sasuke and
Naruto. Like how Indra's sharingan is the same as Sasuke's. And that Ashura
inherited the Truth Seeker Orbs like how we see Naruto with them.

I think there are different variations and people just didn't know about the
original origins of the Chakra so alot of information must be stored somewhere
unknown or lost in time explaining alot of the past wish it was kept to humans
and the ninja world instead of aliens etc though
