There doesn't have to be a signature offensive/defensive technique and a separate signature utility technique because that overcomplicates things. A simpler way of looking at it is that each character has a few signature techniques, among which are some of their strongest and/or most used techniques. But my point is that the reason that Rasenshuriken is one of his strongest techniques is because it is one of his signature techniques, and not that the reason that Rasenshuriken is one of his signature techniques is because it is one of his strongest techniques. Because I don't see Tailed Beast Ball being his signature technique right?

No, but for me personally a signature technique is based upon the frequency of its usage rather than its power. So while the TTB may be stronger than the Rasenshuriken, I don't class it as a signature because he doesn't use it particularly often. On the other hand, I would classify shadow clone jutsu as a signature because there are very few battles he doesn't use it in.

I think that the Rasenshuriken is different though. While the initial technique was created by Minato, Naruto made the Rasenshuriken so it's his jutsu. So regardless of its power or often it's used, I would consider the Rasenshuriken a signature technique because Naruto is the creator.
