Strongest Rasengan Users In Naruto

Summary

• Naruto mastered the Rasengan, passed it down to others like Konohamaru, and developed new variants.
• Boruto, Naruto’s son, showcases swift Rasengan mastery and multiple powerful variants in combat.
• Characters like Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Minato have also wielded the Rasengan with great skill and power.

The Rasengan is one of the most powerful jutsu in Naruto, using a ball of condensed revolving chakra to decimate its enemies. Naruto learned this technique under Jiraiya’s guidance and was eventually able to build upon it to become a fearsome shinobi.

Several powerful shinobi in Naruto have used this technique to great effect, allowing them to take out their foes in style. The power levels of these shinobi may differ, but that should take nothing away from the danger they pose if their Rasengan lands flush on their opponent.

Konohamaru Sarutobi

Naruto’s Worthy Student Grew Into A Powerful Shinobi

• First Appearance: “Surname is Sarutobi, Given Name, Konohamaru” (Episode 161 of Naruto: Shippuden)

As destructive as the Pain Assault arc was, it also let some of the best characters in the series get their chance to shine. This could be seen with Konohamaru, who revealed that Naruto had taught him how to develop and use this technique to great effect.

He was able to take out a body of Pain using this technique, even if it was revived later on. In Boruto, Konohamaru becomes a powerful shinobi worthy of following in his grandfather’s footsteps. On top of that, he has become more adept at using the Rasengan.

Boruto Uzumaki

Naruto’s Kid Is Slowly But Surely Growing Into One Of The Strongest Shinobi In The Ninja World

• First Appearance: Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Many fans dislike Boruto for his privileged attitude. Still, that should take nothing away from the immense power he wields as a protagonist, with his swift mastery over the Rasengan making his aptitude clear as day.

He has developed three variants of the Rasengan, starting with the Vanishing variant that took Momoshiki by surprise. He eventually formed his very own variant of the Wind Release: Rasengan, along with a Compression Rasengan that was so powerful that it hurt both the user and its target.

Jiraiya

The Pervy Sage Taught Naruto His Patented Technique

• First Appearance: “A New Training Begins: I Will Be Strong!” (Episode 86 of Naruto)

Jiraiya is one of the most beloved characters in Naruto. He served as the future Hokage’s father figure and taught Naruto numerous techniques to help him evolve into a powerful shinobi, including the patented Rasengan.

Jiraiya didn’t use this technique all that often, but fans can argue that he didn’t need to. The wealth of power he boasted made it easy to ignore the Rasengan, and it’s a shame that his Ultra Big-Ball variant of the Rasengan was nullified by Pain’s Six-Paths technique.

Kakashi Hatake

Even Without The Sharingan, Kakashi Is A Force To Be Reckoned With

• First Appearance: “The Next Step” (Episode 76 of Naruto: Shippuden)

Kakashi is a gifted shinobi who used his borrowed Sharingan to learn a ton of techniques with ease. This included the Rasengan, something that he whipped out in front of Naruto to highlight how important it was for the protagonist to create an evolution of this technique that could enhance its power.

Given the immense power he wielded, it’s easy to see why Kakashi didn’t need to pull out the Rasengan in combat when his Raikiri could do the trick instead. Even with the disappearance of his Sharingan, Kakashi is still a powerful shinobi who can use a wealth of other attacks to debilitate his opponents.

Koji Kashin

Jiraiya’s Perfect Clone Has Shown Immense Strength In Boruto

• First Appearance: “Kama” (Episode 187 of Boruto)

Koji Kashin is a perfect Jiraiya clone, as revealed in Boruto. He made a major splash as a powerful ninja who could use powerful variants of the Rasengan to beat down his foes.

He showed the power of his Rasengan against Konohamaru before eventually establishing himself as a good guy. After the time-skip, Koji became Boruto’s sensei in a bid to help the protagonist become stronger than ever.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki

An Antagonist So Tenacious That He Persisted Even After His Demise

• First Appearance: “Momoshiki’s Manifestation” (Episode 208 of Boruto)

Momoshiki is one of the most tenacious antagonists in Boruto, implanting his Kama on the protagonist to survive even after his physical body perishes. He could take over Boruto’s body whenever the protagonist was knocked out, allowing him to access a wealth of powerful attacks.

The fact that he could master the Rasengan in a flash using Boruto’s body showed just how powerful Momoshiki was. He was even able to alter the nature of this technique, allowing him to turn the Rasengan into a long-range beam attack that hit like a truck.

2

Minato Namikaze

Naruto’s Father Is One Of The Strongest Shinobi Of All Time

• First Appearance: “The Fourth Hokage’s Death Match” (Episode 248 of Naruto: Shippuden)

Minato is one of the most beloved characters in Naruto, remaining relevant years after his demise. He was the creator of the Rasengan technique and showed off this power in a battle against his former student.

He was able to identify Obito’s abilities in a flash and used his Flying Raijin Jutsu to catch the antagonist unaware, smashing him with one of the best Rasengans in Naruto history. This moment, among many others, made it clear why Minato is hailed by many as a powerful ninja who was worthy of being the Hokage.

Naruto Uzumaki

The Seventh Hokage Grew To Become One Of The Strongest Ninja Around By The End Of His Tale

• First Appearance: “Attack! Fury of the Rasengan!” (Episode 94 of Naruto)

Naruto transformed from a young troublemaker into one of the most powerful shinobi in the Leaf Village, courtesy of his hard work and stubbornness. After learning the Rasengan from Jiraiya, he improved on the technique numerous times over the course of the series.

He eventually became the hero of the Leaf Village and took down several powerful antagonists using this technique. Even after the many years that have passed, countless fans can’t help but feel chills traveling down their spine whenever Naruto charges up another special Rasengan to obliterate his foes.
