An original jutsu by Naruto, expanding on the original concept for the Rasengan by the Fourth Hokage's ideals: mixing ones chakra element with the Rasengan. However, this was proven to be the most difficult thing to do. Kakashi even mentioned that, adding someones chakra element with the Rasengan, takes an incredible amount of skill or rather natural talent or sense. Naruto mixed his wind element, maintaining its original stability and increasing its power, far beyond that of his Great Ball Rasengan. Another example of the power of the jutsu is shown when it was tested against Kakashi's standard Rasengan. The fact that it was only 50 percent completed and still able to easily overpower Kakashi, who had years more experience with it, and damage his hand demonstrates just how far the Rasengan has been pushed when combined with element chakra. To create it, Naruto needs the aid of two shadow clones, and in total, five hands to create it (his hand to release and spin the chakra, one clone to form the shell to maintain the sphere shape, and the other to mix the wind-natured chakra).

Koga learned his own version of this technique while trying to master his nature transformation.
