The Rasengan, Greatness Needs No Words

Please state the greatest ninjutsu in Naruto and explain why it is—the Rasengan.

Chiba Genichi had already successfully developed the Rasengan during his first year at the ninja academy, yet he rarely used it in actual combat. Although the Rasengan could be cast instantaneously, it was restricted to close-quarters use, and its power was directly tied to the amount of chakra consumed.

In the past, Genichi often relied on Lightning Release to accelerate his body, using genjutsu and sealing techniques as cover to engage in close-range swordplay. Due to his limited chakra reserves, the Rasengan could only be deployed as a surprise tactic.

Ever since successfully synthesizing the Magnet Release bloodline limit, the quality of the chakra within his body has undergone a qualitative change, leading Genichi to shift his focus back to the development of the Rasengan.

Just how strong is the Rasengan?

When the seventeen-year-old savior of the Ninja World was interviewed, he waved his hand dismissively: "If you have anything to say, go tell it to my Rasengan."

There is no time to mourn the unique variations of the Rasengan from the movies; coming up next are the techniques exclusively developed by the Child of Prophecy of the Ninja World: Wind Release: Rasengan, Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Release: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Wind Release: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken, Big Ball Spiraling Serial Spheres, Rasengan Flash, Spiraling Absorption Sphere, Mini Rasenshuriken, and Planetary Rasengan.

And the Sage Arts combined with other energies: Sage Art: Rasengan, Sage Art: Rasengan Barrage, Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan, Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan Barrage, Sage Art: Wind Release: Big Ball Rasenshuriken, Sage Art: Ultra-Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, Sage Art: Magnet Release: Rasengan, and Sage Art: Lava Release: Rasenshuriken.

After the Chunin Exams, Chiba Genichi, who had become the youngest "Jonin" in the history of Konoha, returned to his daily training.

Although there was Naruto's experience to refer to for the development of the Wind Release: Rasengan, a Wind Release: Rasengan without Sage Art lacks a soul.

At this stage, Genichi's priority was to integrate Lightning Release chakra into the Rasengan, creating the "Vanishing Rasengan" that first appeared in Boruto.

In Boruto, Boruto integrated Lightning Release chakra into the Rasengan, forming a new type of Rasengan that could be thrown from a distance and remained invisible. It was used during the Chunin Exams and even directly involved in the battle against Otsutsuki Momoshiki.

Once launched, it remained invisible throughout its trajectory, undetectable even by the Otsutsuki clan, only revealing itself the moment it struck. Because it was so sudden, even the Rinnegan could not absorb it in time; it was truly devious to the extreme.

Of course, if you feel that the "Invisible Rasengan" is too demanding to pull off, then the next technique to appear is [Rasengan: Uzuhiko].

[Rasengan: Uzuhiko] can resonate with the chakra of a planet. Once it strikes an enemy, this chakra follows the rotation of the planet, and as long as the planet's rotation does not cease, this attack will never stop.

Contemplating the various manifestations of the Rasengan, Genichi steeled his heart to continue his plan for developing the technique.

Today was a special day. Uzumaki Mito had sent word that the new sealing technique he had conceived was complete. Genichi was currently walking toward the Senju Clan Compound while eating three-colored dango.

"Welcome, Genichi." Kushina was already waiting at the entrance.

Unable to resist, he reached out to pinch Kushina's adorable cheeks. Genichi took out the three-colored dango he had bought: "Here, these are three-colored dango, just as sweet as Kushina."

Both happy and shy, Kushina hooked her arm through Genichi's: "Hurry inside, Grandma Mito has been waiting for you for a long time."

Walking through the door, Uzumaki Mito was sitting by the table drinking tea. Beside her, Nawaki was still flushed red, staring fiercely at Genichi as he entered, not blinking once.

Ever since he had wanted to go to the battlefield and was stopped after being defeated by Genichi, Nawaki had remained unconvinced. He felt it was only because of his own momentary carelessness that he had fallen for Genichi's tricks. Later, he could only stay in the village, watching Genichi make a name for himself on the battlefield, which only made him angrier the more he thought about it.

But what could he do? Facing the youngest "Jonin" in Konoha's history, Nawaki, knowing his own strength was far inferior, racked his brains and finally decided he would try to suppress Genichi with sheer presence.

"How can you not greet your senior? I'm older than you and became Orochimaru's student first. Remember to call me senior from now on, haha." As he spoke, imagining the scene of Genichi respectfully calling him senior, Nawaki began to laugh foolishly.

Facing such a hot-blooded idiot, Genichi had plenty of experience. He only needed to start by feigning coldness, ignoring him, and then casually dropping a few mocking remarks to make him lose his temper and jump around in a rage.

Ignoring Nawaki, he first greeted Grandma Mito and sat down to take a sip of tea. Only then, unhurriedly, as if he had just noticed there was another person present, did he speak slowly:

"Senior? I've never seen such a weak senior."

Sure enough, Nawaki, instantly triggered, tried to rush forward, but was sealed in place by a single hand from Uzumaki Mito: "A ninja must remain calm at all times. With this temperament of yours, how can I feel at ease letting you go to the battlefield? Calm yourself down properly."

Seeing Genichi walk in hand-in-hand with Kushina, Mito was as satisfied as she could possibly be. The two children had been close since they were young, Genichi's talent was outstanding, he wasn't afraid of the Nine-Tails, and he even had his own unique understanding of sealing techniques. It was just that the boy seemed to have close relationships with several other young girls at the same time? Oh well, let the young handle their own affairs.

"The [Eight-Trigrams Seal] you mentioned is complete. It is truly marvelous; in terms of sealing Tailed Beasts, its effect is much better than the [Four-Symbols Seal] I use," Uzumaki Mito said with a tone of praise.

Kushina's sealing of the Nine-Tails to become a jinchuriki would happen within these next few years, and Genichi had thought of the more effective [Eight-Trigrams Seal].

The [Eight-Trigrams Seal] was originally created by Minato Namikaze, consisting of a double seal of two Four-Symbols Seals, which could convert the Nine-Tails chakra leaking between the Four-Symbols Seals back into the jinchuriki's own chakra.

Between learning the [Four-Symbols Seal] to slowly deduce it himself and handing it over to Minato Namikaze to research, Genichi chose to trust the wisdom of his predecessors.

Sure enough, after being informed of the concept of the [Eight-Trigrams Seal], Uzumaki Mito succeeded very quickly, living up to her name as a master of sealing from the Uzumaki Clan.

"This is also for Kushina's safety, and for our future," Genichi said candidly, holding the shy Kushina's hand.
