Jiraiya, Minato, and Kakashi each could generate and maintain a Rasengan using
only one hand. When Naruto first learned the technique, he needed shadow
clones to help him.

When did Naruto learn how to generate and maintain a Rasengan without the aid
of shadow clones or chakra arms?

When did Naruto learn how to generate a Rasengan unassisted?


The first time Naruto used Rasengan without clones or chakra hands is in
Naruto episode 134 at around 8:20 ([YouTube
video](https://youtu.be/pb-6C9D05AM?t=1075)). He first used Rasengan with only
one hand although he is assisted by Six-Tails chakra.

When Naruto and Sasuke were fighting in episode 134, Sasuke let his curse
mark's power activate. He knew that the power would soon eat away his body, so
he planned to finish off Naruto with a Chidori. However, when the Nine-Tails'
cloak took over Naruto's body, he didn't need a clone to make a Rasengan. So,
to counter Sasuke's Chidori, Naruto made a Rasengan with a single hand for the
first time. Later on, Naruto never really noticed how amazing that was, or how
he still had to use shadow clones for a while.

He uses it in the alleyway after he tells Tsunade about his dream. Technically
he uses two hands but doesn't use a shadow clone. So I guess he can do it
either way but decides to use a clone.

In the Fourth Shinobi Great War, after Sasuke and Naruto receive half the Sage
of Six Paths Chakra, Naruto has the ability to maintain a perfect Sage Mode,
and directly after that, he made a Lava Style: Rasenshuriken with one hand
using Four-Tails Chakra and cut Madara in half with it. So he used the sage
art Lava Style: Rasenshuriken first with one hand. So it is evident he could
make the Rasengan with one hand after gaining the Six Paths power.

I believe it was after Naruto got half of the Sage of Six Path Chakra, mainly
because in part one (ep. 135), he had the cloak of the Nine-Tails to help him,
so he wasn't conscious of it. I think he was conscious of it when he fought
Sasuke because he did multiple shadow clones with Rasengan. Also because of
the half he received, he could naturally learn Chakra control (thus how to use
Rasengan with one hand).

Also, chapter 642, sage mode.

He did it in episode 100 when he had the vision of Sasuke and Orochimaru and
ran at him with the Rasengan.

In _Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Will of Fire_ , all of Naruto's clones are
able to create the Rasengan independently (using two hands, granted, but
independently).

It was in _Naruto Shippuden_ when he was caught in an illusion and almost
pummeled Kiba.
