Was it Minato who invented the Rasengan, or was it Jiraya? All I know is that
Jiraiya taught Naruto the Rasengan. Who is the original creator?

Who invented the Rasengan: Jiraiya or Minato?


It was Minato. The Fourth Hokage invented in from seeing the Bijuu-dama.
Jiraiya learned it from Minato and then taught Naruto about it. See
[Rasengan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rasengan) article on Naruto Wiki.

Edit: While it wasn't mentioned which Bijuu Minato based his Rasengan from, it
is presumably the Kyuubi as the Kyuubi was the only Bijuu in possession of
Konoha at that time and the Jinchuuriki is his wife.

Jiraiya taught Naruto how to create and use Rasengan.

No, it wasn't Minato or Jiraiya who invented Rasengan. If you watch Naruto
from the beginning to the last (Naruto Shippuden), Rasengan was made by
Ashura, one of Hagoromo's sons. It means Rasengan has been invented a long
time ago, even before Minato was born.

The true inventer is Ashura. Yes, Minato worked so hard to make it but he was
sadly not the person who invented it. Around episodes 400-500 there is an
episode where Ashura and Indra fight; Indra has the full Susanoo and Ashura
has the Truth Seeker Orbs. After about 7 minutes, Ashura makes a Rasangan with
like 4-5 mini Rasangans in it. So the part that Minato "invented" it is false,
he just happens to have revived a really old ninjutsu. So in his way he
"invented" it.

It is true Ashura made the first Rasengan, but as far as who did it first
between Jiraiya or Minato, Jiraiya did tell Naruto that the 4th Hokage
invented it.

There's an episode, I believe 33 of season 1 _Shippuden_ , showing that
Jiraiya mastered that jutsu in way less time.
