Rasengan: "Uzuhiko"

Rasengan: "Uzuhiko" is a unique Rasengan variant developed by Boruto Uzumaki that harnesses the user's own chakra along with what Boruto calls planetary chakra—energy generated by the centrifugal force that works alongside the planet’s rotation and 
orbit—to infuse the attack with theoretically unlimited power. As noted by Jura , the principles of how this technique functions is similar to the Tailed Beast Ball .

## Overview [ ]

In order to prepare this technique the user must maintain contact with the ground, ensuring that they can directly take in planetary chakra through both feet. The power and effects of the attack on the target depend upon how much planetary chakra the user gathers, and are therefore proportional to the amount of time spent accumulating it.

As the user absorbs this planetary chakra it visibly coils around their limbs and torso, and can be passed into the bodies of others by simply touching them. This can result in mild disorientation for those affected, making it more difficult to effectively move and attack.

In order to complete the technique the user strikes the enemy with their palm, typically aiming for their chest or stomach, and forcibly infuses the planetary chakra into their body. At maximum output, "Uzuhiko" is capable of killing the target with a single blow, erupting into a swirling vortex of chakra that forcefully blows away and tears apart their body, effectively disintegrating them.

At lower output levels, it deals damage similar to a standard Rasengan, along with the planetary chakra rushing through the target's body continuously inflicting internal damage and leaving the enemy in a perpetual state of vertigo, destroying their sense of balance and diminishing their motor skills. As these effects persist semi-permanently, ending only if the user rescinds "Uzuhiko" or the planet itself stops spinning, it causes not only physical harm but immeasurable psychological damage, making it an effective tool for interrogation and coercion.

## Weaknesses [ ]

For this technique to be initiated, the user must have both feet firmly planted on the ground. Also, one who can use the Tailed Beast Ball can utilize the similar principles as a countermeasure to nullify the effects of this technique.

## Trivia [ ]

- Boruto finds this technique as an ironic counter against the Ōtsutsuki clan and its followers, as it is essentially the planet fighting back against those trying to kill it.
- Boruto refers to the planetary energy used for Uzuhiko as a "planet's chakra", but this is not the same as the " natural energy " used by ninja when they enter Sage Mode .
- Jura factoring how the functionality of Uzuhiko is similar to the Tailed Beast Ball traces back to the creation of the Rasengan, from which the jutsu derives from, by its inventor, Minato Namikaze .
- Coincidentally, the three years Boruto spent developing this type of Rasengan coincides with the duration it took his grandfather to create the original Rasengan.
