Personally, just from the subtle hints given throughout the series, I think it's safe the say Warring States came WAY after Asure and Indra. One of the prominent examples would be that A, along with the other Kage I assume, believed that the Sage of Six Paths was a myth. If the sage had been alive simply a few generations prior to Warring States, a known and prominent point in history, then I find it hard to believe he would have faded into mythology so quickly. Also, there was a big time lapse between when Madara and Sasuke were born. It seems that the difference in their births was approaching a 100 year time span. So even if Indra and Asura weren't thousands of years prior to Warring States, the difference between Madara and Indra was at least close to 100 years.
