Rasengan
Rasengan was a ninjutsu technique developed over the span of three years by the Fourth Hokage. The technique is unlike other jutsu in that it does not require any handseals, it just relied on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The ninja concentrates a contained, fast, rotating sphere of chakra in the palm of their hand, which can cause much destructive impact. Thus the technique was pure shape manipulation of chakra, unlike most elemental techniques which are shape and nature manipulation
Learning Rasengan:
Teaching Rasengan is broken down into three parts. One can not learn this technique without the help of a Jounin-level shinobi that knows the technique
Step One:
First ninja has to rotate the water and break the water balloon; this step emphasizes rotation. The rotating chakra must spin in proper synch with the body. When the body and spirit energy mix to form chakra, it rotates clockwise or counter clockwise within the body of the ninja. The ninja will need to spin the chakra within the palm in the same direction it does in the body to attain maximum efficiency.
Step Two:
The second step involves breaking a rubber ball, much like the water balloon but about 100 times more difficult to pop. This step emphasizes power. Because the ball lacks water, it is more difficult to imagine the spinning chakra inside
Step Three:
The third step involves quickly rotating the chakra randomly in a balloon full of air. This causes the chakra to form a spherical shape akin to a small typhoon. Though even more power and rotation is used than in step two, the balloon itself will not move or pop due to the precise chakra control. Using 100% of the skills used in steps one and two, the ninja is to create an imaginary layer to contain the rotating chakra and compress the chakra within that layer. By retaining this power within the hand alone, the power will not disperse, it will become faster and more concentrated and reach its ultimate destructive power.
