You're right, as Alockwood1 said, this is a paradox. This is because you are thinking in terms of time strictly in one dimension (1D). In other words, we separate the dimension of space and time. If you think in terms of spacetime as a whole (4D), like in general relativity, you could consider that each time a decision X is made, a new instance (parallel universe) is created. Say, for example, that you follow a different trajectory in the spacetime (4D). If we now consider that you can travel back to this instance before the decision X was made, and you undo X, then there is no paradox. Simply put, Aku is still in power at that particular point of spacetime but when you transfer back to time and you kill him you follow a different trajectory in spacetime where Aku does not exist. In the end, Ashi gets to live..
