Art for Tellemicus Sundance's: Legacy of the Rasengan.

It took me almost a month to complete this! Well, not exactly a month, per say, but I was redrawing and redrawing and scrapping ideas and coming up with new ones and scrapping those as well. Ugh.

But in the end, I was really impressed with myself on how it turned out (and so was Tellemicus). I toyed around with a background, but it just seemed to take away from the picture, so I scrapped that idea, too.


EXERT FROM LEGACY OF THE RASENGAN: "Since he was still in mid-rotation of the Kaiten, he could do nothing but watch as the last Naruto descended from the air with his arm outstretched ahead of him.

All noise in the audience seemed to be ground to a halt as they watched the blonde fall towards the Hyuuga’s perfect defense. The only noise was a battle cry from the attacking boy who didn’t falter in the slightest. Even as he reached the very top of the sphere.

Naruto’s outstretched arm hit the sphere. At first, for what seemed an eternity, nothing happened. Then gravity began to work its magic. It pulled Naruto’s body downward, forcing his spinning chakra to merge into Neji’s. The sudden mergence allowed Naruto’s arm to pierce the outer shell and enter the Kaiten. His arm passed through as far as his elbow before the rest of his body hit the Kaiten.

The Kaiten immediately tried to fling Naruto away. But as it did, the chakra of his arm was suddenly turned and the once merged spinning mass was now battling for supremacy. The result was Naruto being thrown almost twenty meters away as the two clashing chakra let out a brief explosive shockwave. The Kaiten was violently blown open as though it were a balloon with too much air. With a loss of balance, Neji was sent tumbling a short way away."
