There`s nowhere said Rasenshuruken must always expand; actually, it expanded only in battle against Pain, in other cases he is thrown => hit/doesn't hit the target => creates a blast of microscopic wind chakra needles. Of course, his additional effect is cutting through the targets in the process, but it doesn't cancel the rest of them. In The Last Rasenshuriken was created and thrown by Naruto, hit and cut through the targets and created the wind chakra blast, although with another colour (as the Rasenshuriken from The Last itself). If you'll say there's no chakra blast after the throw, you'll be definetely wrong, it can be clearly seen during Naruto's battle against Toneri (the latter even had to create a TSB shield to defend himself). So, it's the same Rasenshuriken we've seen in manga and anime. Moreover, if Naruto can throw Rasenshuriken without accessing any of his modes, it means he already avoids damage to his arms, which, as we know, is done by the aforesaid wind chakra blast, because Rasenshukiken blasts after the throw and not in his arm.
