Wind Release: Rasengan

The Wind Release: Rasengan is an original technique created by Naruto Uzumaki .

## Overview [ ]

After learning Minato Namikaze created the Rasengan with the intention of combining it with his own nature , a task that proved too difficult for him to complete prior to his death, Naruto struggled to combine the Rasengan with his wind -nature, which he described as needing to look left and right at the same time. He is eventually able to overcome this obstacle by using shadow clones : he provides the chakra , one shadow clone shapes the chakra into a sphere, and a second infuses the sphere with wind. The end product becomes the Wind Release: Rasengan. Users who have mastered the Rasengan's shape transformation will only need one shadow clone, to provide the wind-nature, and with additional experience users can perform it without any shadow clones at all.

Naruto's version appears largely identical to a standard Rasengan, but is stronger, and capable of being thrown. When used in combination with Water Release , its wind nature can expand the other jutsu's coverage area. Konohamaru's usage is surrounded by an aura and generates a large current of air, with its strength being capable of destroying a hill from a distance. Boruto's is uniquely green in chakra and sports rings around the central sphere. Though his is incomplete, Boruto is able to throw it.

## Tailed Beast Influence [ ]

In the Sasuke Shinden novel, Naruto uses the power of the Nine-Tails to form a Wind Release: Rasengan that he's able to throw; he also doesn't need any shadow clones to create it. When it hits its target, it creates a shockwave of wind away from Naruto. In the anime, Naruto instead uses " Rasengan: Flash ".
