The '''Wind Release: Rasenshuriken''' was created by [[Naruto Uzumaki]] after he mastered the [[Wind Release: Rasengan]].

The '''Wind Release: Rasenshuriken''' is a [[shuriken]]-shaped variant of the [[Wind Release: Rasengan]].

The Rasenshuriken was invented by [[Naruto Uzumaki]] shortly after he figured out the principles of the [[Wind Release: Rasengan]]. Like that technique, Naruto typically has the help of two [[shadow clone]]s in the Rasenshuriken's formation: he provides the chakra, one clone helps keep the chakra contained, and the second clone adds his [[wind]] [[nature]]. It is the completed version of the Wind Release: Rasengan, with four large points around the central [[Rasengan]] core, giving the appearance of a [[fūma shuriken]]. It also gives off a loud screeching noise.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 339, page 11</ref> By the time of ''[[The Last: Naruto the Movie]]'', Naruto is able to create Rasenshuriken without aid and is able to remotely guide it.
By manipulating the [[wind]]-natured [[chakra]] of the Wind Release: Rasengan, Naruto was able to create four large points, causing the [[Rasengan]] to take on the appearance of a giant [[fūma shuriken]], with the Rasengan in the centre remaining a perfect sphere. The technique gives off a loud bell-like screech while and after being formed. In order to perform it, Naruto requires the aid of two [[shadow clone]]s; he provides the chakra, one clone is responsible for the [[shape transformation]], and the other provides the [[nature transformation]].

The Rasenshuriken requires a great deal of chakra to perform. Naruto has been shown creating as many as three Rasenshuriken on his own before tiring out.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 614, pages 9-10</ref> While in [[Sage Mode]], he can create two Rasenshuriken per transformation.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 433, page 1</ref> After the second, he must re-enter Sage Mode in order to be able to create additional Rasenshuriken.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 433, pages 1-10</ref> However, after improving his Sage Mode he's able to use three at a single time (five in the anime),<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 614</ref> and while in his [[Jinchūriki Forms|Kurama Mode]] or Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he can use the Rasenshuriken an unlimited number of times. Its four points are very sharp, enough to cut through rock<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 442, page 8</ref> and disintegrate most of [[Pain]]'s [[Human Path]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 432, pages 6-7</ref> The technique is extremely heavy, as [[Fukasaku]] was surprised Naruto could throw the highly dense chakra, even in Sage Mode.<ref>''Naruto'', chapter 432, page 5</ref>
[[File:Severing Chakra Cells2.PNG|thumb|left|The Rasenshuriken's effect.]]
 
The Rasenshuriken creates countless microscopic wind-blades that severely damage the body on a cellular level. It produces so many individual strikes that even [[Kakashi Hatake]] is unable to count them all with his [[Sharingan]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 341, page 18</ref> The wind-blades sever all nerve channels in the body, leaving the target unable to move after being struck. They also attack the entire [[chakra circulatory system]], which cannot be repaired by any form of [[medical ninjutsu]] whatsoever.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 346, page 3</ref> Depending on the severity of the damage, the victim may not be able to perform a technique ever again. Because the Rasenshuriken does cellular damage to Naruto's arm when he first uses the technique without throwing it, [[Tsunade]] labelled it a [[kinjutsu]] and likens the technique's effects to that of [[poison]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 346, pages 10-14</ref>

After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created, so many that even the [[Sharingan]] can't count them all.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 341, page 18</ref> The wind blades pierce every cell in the body, disconnecting them from the [[Chakra circulatory system]] and so preventing them from providing their physical energy to the chakra-creation process. Because of this, the target loses their ability to create and mould chakra, damage which cannot be healed by [[medical ninjutsu]].<ref>''Naruto'', chapter 346, pages 9-15</ref> [[Tsunade]] likens the damage to poison, and warns that if the damage is great enough, those affected by it won't be able to use [[jutsu]] again.
When Naruto first uses the Rasenshuriken against [[Kakuzu]], the latter is caught in a vortex of countless microscopic wind-blades destroying two of his hearts.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 341, page 4</ref> Other than the severe damage done to his cells, Kakuzu's body is left intact after being struck. After Naruto learns to throw the Rasenshuriken, the damage is greatly increased; not only is it capable of cutting through rocky mountains,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 442, page 8</ref> but when [[Pain]]'s [[Human Path (character)|Human Path]] is struck by it, most of its body is disintegrated, leaving only the top part of its head.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 434, page 15</ref> Even though it can now be thrown, it can still be thrust into the opponent.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 499, page 10</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 549, page 16</ref>

[[File:Severing Chakra Cells2.PNG|thumb|The side effect from using the technique at close range.]]
Naruto later perfects the Rasenshuriken with [[Sage Mode]]. This allows him to throw it at his opponents, and removes the threat of damaging himself with the technique. Another improvement is that the ''shuriken'' now expands after it has been thrown, compensating for imprecise aim or fleeing opponents by widening the area of effect. However, he can throw the Rasenshuriken quickly enough that this is rarely necessary. When thrown, the Rasenshuriken becomes Naruto's quickest attack, able to cross an entire [[Chibaku Tensei]] crater which was roughly the size of a small mountain range in a single second. When it exploded, it took up a large part of that same area.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 442, pages 5-8</ref> Naruto can also use this through the [[Shadow Shuriken Technique]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 442, page 2</ref>
+
When Naruto first starts using the Rasenshuriken there are two flaws to using it: It was prone to sporadically dissipate after being formed, forcing Naruto to use it as a melee weapon to keep it stable, thrusting the Rasenshuriken into targets in the same way that he does the standard Rasengan.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 340, pages 5-7</ref> The Rasenshuriken causes cellular damage not only to his targets, but to the arm Naruto holds the Rasenshuriken with, though the damage isn't quite as severe.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 346, pages 9-12</ref> It, however, poses enough risk for Tsunade to demand it never be used again.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 346, page 11</ref>

  +
Naruto is able to overcome these flaws by learning [[senjutsu]]. By infusing the Rasenshuriken with senjutsu chakra, its shape is maintained after formation, meaning that he can use it as a projectile and, as a result, that he no longer needs to worry about damaging himself. When thrown, the Rasenshuriken travels very quickly, enough to cross the crater of [[Chibaku Tensei]] in under a second.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 442, pages 5-8</ref> Once thrown, Naruto can remotely expand the Rasenshuriken to either compensate for imprecise aim or to catch dodging targets,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 432, pages 4-6</ref> though its speed is great enough that this is rarely necessary. He enjoys similar benefits while using [[Nine-Tails Chakra Mode]], where he can use his [[chakra arm]]s to guide the Rasenshuriken to its target while he remains at a safe distance.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 554, page 1</ref> Moreover, he can use these chakra arms in place of the usual shadow clones.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 617, pages 11-12</ref>
Naruto can also create and throw this technique in the [[Nine-Tails Chakra Mode]]. In this form, he can use the extra [[chakra arms]] in place of Shadow Clones to create the Rasenshuriken. Using his chakra arms, he can guide the Rasenshuriken towards the enemy, allowing him to redirect it back at them, should the initial attack fail. He can also form a [[Mini-Rasenshuriken|miniature version of the Rasenshuriken]] with just his index finger and two small chakra arms. In the anime, he created a [[Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken|massive-sized Rasenshuriken]] of similar size to the [[Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan]].<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 305</ref>
 
   
  +
[[File:Naruto Vs Kaguya.png|thumb|Several Rasenshuriken influenced by Naruto's tailed beast chakra.]]
Naruto can also create and throw [[Twin Rasenshuriken|two Rasenshuriken]] with both of his hands in [[Tailed Beast Mode]] without the aid of his [[shadow clones]], their cutting power increases tremendously to such an extent that one of them could even sever the [[Ten-Tails]]' extremely durable tails with relative ease.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 617, pages 11-12</ref>
 
  +
Naruto eventually starts making the Rasenshuriken a template for other jutsu, just as he does with the regular Rasengan. Like the Rasengan, some of the simpler modifications he makes to the Rasenshuriken are by using [[Wind Release: Repeated Rasenshuriken|multiple simultaneously]] or making them [[Big Ball Rasenshuriken|larger]] (or even [[Mini-Rasenshuriken|smaller]]). In place of the Rasengan he uses for the centre of the Rasenshuriken, he can use [[Tailed Beast Ball]]s or [[Truth-Seeking Ball]]s that will create significantly larger explosions upon detonation. He can also apply other natures to the Rasenshuriken, as he does with the [[Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken]].

=== Drawbacks ===
 
In the beginning, the Rasenshuriken required a great deal of chakra to perform, and after creating it three times, using his own chakra, left Naruto extremely fatigued. However, it requires a good deal more chakra to both create and then throw it, which, while in Sage Mode, can be used twice in addition to other Rasengan variants, with a known maximum of three times.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 614, pages 9-10</ref> This indicates that a thrown Rasenshuriken takes up approximately a third of his sage chakra. He must then re-enter Sage Mode before using the technique again.
 
 
In addition to having the Rasenshuriken damage his arm, Naruto had difficulty maintaining the Rasenshuriken's stability when he first used it. It was prone to dissipating before Naruto could reach his target, requiring that he use it as a melee weapon and force it into the opponent, just as he does with the usual Rasengan.

This article is about the ninjutsu. For the episode, see Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!.

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is a shuriken-shaped variant of the Wind Release: Rasengan.

Overview

The Rasenshuriken was invented by Naruto Uzumaki shortly after he figured out the principles of the Wind Release: Rasengan. Like that technique, Naruto typically has the help of two shadow clones in the Rasenshuriken's formation: he provides the chakra, one clone helps keep the chakra contained, and the second clone adds his wind nature. It is the completed version of the Wind Release: Rasengan, with four large points around the central Rasengan core, giving the appearance of a fūma shuriken. It also gives off a loud screeching noise.[3] By the time of The Last: Naruto the Movie, Naruto is able to create Rasenshuriken without aid and is able to remotely guide it.

The Rasenshuriken requires a great deal of chakra to perform. Naruto has been shown creating as many as three Rasenshuriken on his own before tiring out.[4] While in Sage Mode, he can create two Rasenshuriken per transformation.[5] After the second, he must re-enter Sage Mode in order to be able to create additional Rasenshuriken.[6] However, after improving his Sage Mode he's able to use three at a single time (five in the anime),[7] and while in his Kurama Mode or Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he can use the Rasenshuriken an unlimited number of times. Its four points are very sharp, enough to cut through rock[8] and disintegrate most of Pain's Human Path.[9] The technique is extremely heavy, as Fukasaku was surprised Naruto could throw the highly dense chakra, even in Sage Mode.[10]

Blast

The Rasenshuriken's wind vortex.

After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created, so many that even the Sharingan can't count them all.[11] The wind blades pierce every cell in the body, disconnecting them from the Chakra circulatory system and so preventing them from providing their physical energy to the chakra-creation process. Because of this, the target loses their ability to create and mould chakra, damage which cannot be healed by medical ninjutsu.[12] Tsunade likens the damage to poison, and warns that if the damage is great enough, those affected by it won't be able to use jutsu again.

Development

Severing Chakra Cells2

The side effect from using the technique at close range.

When Naruto first starts using the Rasenshuriken there are two flaws to using it: It was prone to sporadically dissipate after being formed, forcing Naruto to use it as a melee weapon to keep it stable, thrusting the Rasenshuriken into targets in the same way that he does the standard Rasengan.[13] The Rasenshuriken causes cellular damage not only to his targets, but to the arm Naruto holds the Rasenshuriken with, though the damage isn't quite as severe.[14] It, however, poses enough risk for Tsunade to demand it never be used again.[15]

Rasen Expansion

The Rasenshuriken's expansion.

Naruto is able to overcome these flaws by learning senjutsu. By infusing the Rasenshuriken with senjutsu chakra, its shape is maintained after formation, meaning that he can use it as a projectile and, as a result, that he no longer needs to worry about damaging himself. When thrown, the Rasenshuriken travels very quickly, enough to cross the crater of Chibaku Tensei in under a second.[16] Once thrown, Naruto can remotely expand the Rasenshuriken to either compensate for imprecise aim or to catch dodging targets,[17] though its speed is great enough that this is rarely necessary. He enjoys similar benefits while using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, where he can use his chakra arms to guide the Rasenshuriken to its target while he remains at a safe distance.[18] Moreover, he can use these chakra arms in place of the usual shadow clones.[19]

Naruto Vs Kaguya

Several Rasenshuriken influenced by Naruto's tailed beast chakra.

Naruto eventually starts making the Rasenshuriken a template for other jutsu, just as he does with the regular Rasengan. Like the Rasengan, some of the simpler modifications he makes to the Rasenshuriken are by using multiple simultaneously or making them larger (or even smaller). In place of the Rasengan he uses for the centre of the Rasenshuriken, he can use Tailed Beast Balls or Truth-Seeking Balls that will create significantly larger explosions upon detonation. He can also apply other natures to the Rasenshuriken, as he does with the Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken.

Trivia

  • Though the technique debuted in chapter 339, Naruto used it off-panel six chapters earlier.
  • Like the Rasengan, the Rasenshuriken's colour is depicted inconsistently in the series because Masashi Kishimoto has yet to decide upon a colour for the technique.[20] It is most often depicted as being a bluish-white, but different promotional and supplementary material have also shown it as red or orange with no obvious pattern.
  • In Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire, Hiruko tries to absorb this technique, but was unable to combine the peak-levels of shape and nature transformation, like Naruto did at first. The sphere begins forming in his hand, but it becomes unstable and disperses, backfiring on him.
  • In certain games, when the senjutsu version of the Rasenshuriken is thrown, it will hit and carry its target into the air before exploding. This version is referred to as the True: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken (真・風遁・螺旋手裏剣, Shin Fūton: Rasenshuriken).
