The first time Naruto used the Rasenshuriken, he created 2 of them, one of
them created fully with clones as a distraction, and another one created by
him and 2 clones. Then, the real Naruto gets injured in his arm due to the
technique and he decided after being ordered by Tsunade not to use it anymore
(at least for a while). But as it was shown in that battle he can create a
Rasenshuriken fully with clones, and the harm the clones get doesnt get
transfered to the real Naruto. Then,

Why did Naruto decide not to use the Rasenshuriken due to the harm it did to
his arm, if he could create it with clones?

Why did Naruto decide not to use the Rasenshuriken due to the harm it did to his arm, if he could create it with clones?


In a way, theres two answers. Chronologically, the first one is because he
_couldn't_ , or wasn't allowed, and afterwards, there would be no need to.

From the _Naruto Wiki_ on Rasen-Shuriken:

> After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't
> slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing
> a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless

Because the jutsu damaged the user itself, Tsunade marked it as forbidden,
which is why he wouldn't be able to do that, as I previously mentioned. It was
forbidden. So, he wouldn't be able to do this because the jutsu was marked
forbidden. Most jutsu, such as the Shadow Clone Technique, are made forbidden
because they can severely damage or kill the user. Rasen-Shuriken was an
example of that. So of course, he wouldn't do it with a clone. Naruto didn't
even have permission to use it.

And as to why there would later be no need:

> **Naruto is able to overcome these flaws by learning senjutsu. By infusing
> the Rasenshuriken with senjutsu chakra, its shape is maintained after
> formation** , meaning that he can use it as a projectile and, as a result,
> that he no longer needs to worry about damaging himself. (emphasis mine)

So, one he couldn't do that because it was marked forbidden, and later, when
he mastered Sage Mode, he wouldn't need to because he himself can throw and
maintain its shape upon entering it.

Because this would kill the clone completely, as mentioned in the _[duplicate
comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/37482/when-tsunade-told-
naruto-to-not-use-the-rasenshuriken-couldnt-he-have-just-use)_ that @ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ
mentioned.

Taken from that post,

_Naruto_ did not use Rasen-Shuriken with his clones because of the damage that
it inflicted to him, which would make the clone dissipate entirely. This would
make it unnecessary. But as @ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ mentioned in _his own_ answer, this
disadvantage would later be bypassed because he learned how to _throw_ the
clone upon gaining access to [_Sage
Mode._](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sage_Mode)
