Naruto Chapter 428

I don't understand why even at this point Kakashi doesn't use Kage Bunshin to add his eletricity element to the Rasengan like Naruto did for wind.

This might not be cannon since I can't remember if he said it in the manga or not but Kakashi did say that he wouldn't be able to control his shadow clones well enough to use them in the same way that Naruto does. Not to mention Kakashi also has a relatively low chakara capacity compared to Naruto and one thing we do know is that using and maintaining shadow clones uses up a lot of chakara.

The point about shadow clones using chakra is more about needing quite a bit to make a large number, not about how well you can control them. If if Kakashi could only make one then that would be enough, as his chakra control is good enough to create a normal rasengan as it is.

I think it's pretty obvious that Konohamaru learned Rasengan easily BECAUSE of Naruto's kage bunshin trick. Just as Bud said, Naruto was the first one to discover that trick, which is why it was considered a much more difficult jutsu to perform before him.

Also, Kakashi doesn't have a problem combining elemental composition with chakra form. The reason he can't make a Rai-sengan is because the two are simply incompatible. A swirling ball of chakra doesn't evolve with just ANY element. Naruto's wind affinity is the ONLY reason he was able to develop the rasengan further than anyone before him.

Where was that said?

It was said that the Rasengan was incomplete and the 4th was going to add his own element. But as far as we know he could have had 2 to 3 elements. Maybe he did want to add wind, maybe fire or maybe Electricity.

I don't think that it would cause any trouble if you add Electricity to Rasengan.

If if Kakashi could only make one then that would be enough, as his chakra control is good enough to create a normal rasengan as it is.

what do u take Kakashi's sentence here to mean then? I took it to mean he can't control his shadow clones as well as Naruto. By that I mean that each shadow clone can't manage their responsibility of either shape, nature or output correctly relative to the other clones, of course this is just my interpretation and speculation on my part. But the point is Kakashi has said that neither he or even the fourth would be be able to accomplish this in the same way Naruto did.

Where did you get the idea that wind affinity was rare in Konoha?

Well considering it was actually said by Asuma in the manga I'd take it as fact that it is rare.

[DB_Hunter]

You got me there. Seriously despite that thought Kakashi's claim to not being able to do good Kagebunshins sounds like BS to me, made up at the time to make Naruto looking even stronger. It doesn't sit well with the way his character has been developed throughout the manga as being a genius who is don at everything except chakra levels.

[DB_Hunter]

You got me there.

Feel free to stop taking this personally, I have already accepted that I got this wrong.
