Boruto: Two Blue Vorte­x chapter 3 revealed the characteristics of Boruto's new and modified Rasengan technique, Rasengan Uzuhiko. The attack was named and displayed in chapter 2 when Boruto started his fight against Code. Though the attack looks normal and nothing different from a regular Rasengan, its true power lies in its innate mechanisms.

Rasengan Uzuhiko forms coils of invisible chakra around the wielder's arms and can be transferred to others by touching them. This attack uses the energy of Earth's rotation to power the Rasengan. Though it might not have adverse devasting effects, it will continue dealing damage until the target has been killed. The only way to be saved from this attack is to have it rescinded by the wielder.

It also makes the target become disoriented, as seen in the case of Code. He was unable to land any attacks on Boruto once hit by Uzuhiko and wasn't even able to stand or move properly.

What we know about Rasengan Uzuhiko so far

Boruto: Two Blue Vorte­x chapter 3 gave a good introduction to Rasengan Uzuhiko and its passive yet destructive power. Code was helpless in front of it and was only able to flee thanks to Kawaki and others' intervention. Boruto was able to follow him and locate the Ten-Tails with the help of Kashin Koji's toads. However, the Divine Tree forms of all those devoured by the Claw Grimes attack them, forcing Boruto to retreat. We learn from Daemon and Kashin's statements that using this attack affects the whole Earth.

In chapter 12, when Jura and Hidari come to attack Himawari and Sarada, respectively, Boruto comes to their rescue. While Team 10 and Himawari take care of Jura outside of Konoha, Boruto helps Sarada and Konohamaru battle Hidari inside the village. Hidari takes the form of Sasuke and hence could use some of his techniques as well.

Boruto decides to finish him off in one strike of Uzuhiko's maximum output. He needed to keep his feet touching the ground to gather more power and needed some time to activate it. The final attack resulted in disintegrating Hidari and exposing his Thorn Soul Bulb. Although Jura snipped him and took the Bulb, we got to witness Uzuhiko's full power.
