Creation and History of Lightning Style Rasengan/Vanishing Rasengan Jutsu




Rasengan was a jutsu that was invented by the Fourth Hokage after he witnessed a Tailed Beast Bomb. Minato would teach this Jutsu to his master, Jiraiya, who would teach it to Minato’s son, Naruto Uzumaki. Minato’s disciple, Kakashi Hatake would also learn this Jutsu.




Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki’s son, tries to learn how to use the Rasengan after Sasuke Uchiha posed it as a challenge to him. Wanting Sasuke’s recognition, Boruto works hard to learn the Rasengan. After trying, Boruto could barely make a Rasengan and in his frustration, he throws away his Rasengan, which Sasuke notices is effective.




Boruto uses this ability against Momoshiki after the Chunin exams were interrupted. This undetectable Jutsu can be used against unsuspecting foes. The downside of this Jutsu is that it can be easily dodged once the enemy finds out the gimmick.




Although Boruto invented this Jutsu, he barely uses it and relies on the actual Rasengan more often. This is due to the Vanishing Rasengan packing much less power than the actual Rasengan. In addition, it is also a one time gimmick that is easily dodgeable once the enemy finds out how it works.


Other Jutsu similar to Lightning Style Rasengan/Vanishing Rasengan

The Rasenshuriken, but now with Black Flames added to it. After being apart for years, Naruto and Sasuke rejoin to create a new jutsu by combining their new abilities like they had known each other for years. The flames are buffed by the Wind style Rasenshuriken.


Fire Release: Great Flame Rasengan

Jiraiya adds his Fire Element to his Rasengan to create a bright red Rasengan. This version is not seen either in the Anime or Manga, but in the game Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. Because of this, the Jutsu is not considered canon but is still a really cool Jutsu.
