Naruto’s Rasengan Variations
- Big, Ultra-Big, and Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan
- Wind Release: Rasengan
- Sage Mode Rasengan
- Tailed Beast Chakra-Based Rasengan
- Baryon Rasengan
Other than the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto’s signature move is the Rasengan, a rapidly spinning compressed ball of chakra that’ll blow away his opponents. It’s a move that kept growing and changing throughout the course of Naruto, Shippuden, and Boruto, as more and more variations of it were developed.
For the sake of simplicity, this article will only cover the Rasengan variations Naruto can and has used on his own. There are a lot of variations exclusively used by other characters, like Boruto with the Compression Rasengan and Momoshiki with the Deep Crimson Spiral. Then there are also the variations that Naruto can only achieve when teaming up with other shinobi, like the Parent and Child Rasengan and the Gentle Wind Spiralling Twin Lion Fists: Snow White. Naruto on his own has more than enough variations to fill a book, so the other variations are best saved for another day.
Also, note that these variations can and have fused together to create dozens of sub-variations. For example, the Rasenshuriken fused with the Big Ball Rasengan creates the Big Ball Rasenshuriken.

Naruto’s Rasengan Variations
Big, Ultra-Big, and Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan
One of the most basic ways Naruto has modified the Rasengan is by simply giving it more juice and making it bigger. The Big Ball Rasengan and its even bigger brothers are essentially just regular Rasengan with more chakra packed into them. While these three might be relatively simple, they do have a couple of sub-variations that give them some more spice.
- Giant Rasengan Barrage Line – Naruto creates hundreds of clones, with each of them welding a Big Ball Rasengan. They then rush at the opponent in horizontal line formation to endlessly pummel them with Big Ball Rasengan.
- Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Barrage – This move is similar to the Giant Rasengan Barrage Line, except this time, Naruto amplifies it with Sage Mode, and it uses Ultra-Big Ball/Massive Rasengan instead of Big Ball Rasengan.
- Planetary Rasengan – While in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto creates a Big Ball Rasengan orbited by three regular Rasengan. Upon hitting its target, it blows up into a gigantic vortex of violent winds.
Wind Release: Rasengan
Close
This version of the Rasengan was created by Naruto, who added his wind-nature chakra to a regular Rasengan. The result is a stronger version of the Rasengan that can now be thrown in addition to its normal function. Learning to add his chakra nature to the Rasengan was a huge step towards perfecting it, and helped spawn a ton of sub-variations, all involving wind-nature chakra.
- Rasengan: Flash – The technique that’s every Dragon Ball and Naruto fans’ dream come true. It starts out as a normal Wind Release: Rasengan, but Naruto then fires it as a destructive beam like the Kamehameha, except, instead of Ki, it’s highly pressurized air and chakra.
- Wind Release: Rasenshuriken – This is the perfected form of the Wind Release: Rasengan. It’s a Rasengan encircled by four blade-like chakra points, giving it the appearance of a shuriken. The blades aren’t just for show though, and are sharp enough to cut through rock. Upon hitting its target, the Rasenshuriken will further travel a short distance before exploding. A vortex of wind is then created, where countless wind blades are blown around, piercing every cell in the target’s body and messing with the chakra flow within their bodies. The Rasenshuriken itself has spawned multiple sub-variations like the Big Ball Rasenshuriken and the Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken.
Sage Mode Rasengan
Entering Sage Mode gives Naruto access to senjutsu chakra, opening him up to a wide variety of new jutsu. However, when it comes to the Rasengan, Naruto never really developed a new original technique while in Sage Mode. Instead, he merely used it to enhance his already existing Rasengan variations. For example, the Sage Art version of the Rasenshuriken allows Naruto to throw it like an actual shuriken. The regular version of the Rasenshuriken couldn’t maintain its shape if Naruto or one of his clones wasn’t constantly holding on to it.

Tailed Beast Chakra-Based Rasengan
Close
As the name implies, Naruto developed several variations of the Rasengan that involve using the chakra of the Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama.
- Vermillion Rasengan -The first Nine-Tailed Rasengan variation is purple and is stabilized by the Nine-Tails chakra that enveloped a young Naruto, allowing him to create it without a shadow clone.
- Tailed Beast Rasengan – Naruto initially couldn’t fully control Kurama’s power while in the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and had to develop this move to compensate. The move was left imperfect though, with Naruto finding it difficult to get the correct ratio of black and white chakra and struggling to hold it up due to its weight. Thankfully, after he got the hang of his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and learned to use the Tailed Beast Bomb, he no longer needed to rely on the Tailed Beast Rasengan.
- Rasengan using the other eight Tailed Beasts’s chakra – Not only does Naruto have Kurama-based Rasengan, but he also has variations linked to all the other eight Tailed Beasts whose chakra he gained. However, the only ones that were named and properly shown were the Rasengan linked to the One-Tail Shukaku, Sage Art: Magnet Release Rasengan and the Four-Tail Son Goku, Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken.
- Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken – This is basically a move that turns all the Rasengan based on the other Tailed Beasts into Rasenshurikens and fires them all at once at the opponent. Naruto performed this attack in Naruto Shippuden episode 473, “The Sharingan Revived”, where he launches all the Rasenshurikens at once at Kaguya.
Additionally, combining Sage Mode with the Nine-Tails chakra creates even more variations.
Baryon Rasengan
Oddly enough, what should be one of, if not Naruto’s strongest Rasengan variation, is pretty basic-looking. In his hand, it looks like a regular Rasengan, but upon hitting the opponent, Naruto releases it and launches them back. Then, after a brief moment, the Rasengan explodes with the bright orange-red chakra of Baryon mode. There’s a chance this is the strongest the Rasengan has ever been since Baryon Mode is the strongest form Naruto has ever achieved.
