In the fight against Kakuzu, Naruto had a clone carry a completed Rasenshuriken to make Kauzu believe it was the real one. The clone would only be dispelled once the attack made contact and it would be too late then.

Makoto
<p>is simple, (it's my opinion. i am not kishimoto) because the kage-bunshin cannot strong hold the Rasenshuriken, so the kage-bunshin will dissapear.</p>

<p>it also show, on this anime, if naruto use the rasengan he will use the real body not kage-bunshin.</p>

doesn't the jutsu just have to hit the enemy, unless you need to push down the rasengan to have any effect, so it also wouldnt really matter if the clone "died" just as long as the rasengan hit? or i could be wrong

He's saying he wouldn't be able to carry it to the enemy in the first place.

@MichaelMcQuade In the battle against Kakuzu, its conclusively shown that a Shadow Clone can carry the Rasenshuriken. The clone will dissipate once the shockwave from impact hits it

<p>He used a clone as a distraction against Kakuzu, so couldn't he do that again without using sage mode? </p>

Also, those saying clone would dissipate before the attack hits are forgetting something. Naruto throwing the Rasenshuriken wouldn't mean much if just holding it can cause the damage, since he is holding it in his hand till its complete.

When Tsunade told Naruto to not use the Rasenshuriken, couldn't he have just used a clone?
