Which tech requires more skill, Rasengan or Chidori?

[Cooh]

Pretty much the same imo.

 

[muhachiuchiha]

Rasengan ofcourse

 

[Meekz89]

Rasengan alone is just shape manipulation. You can do whatever you want with chakra, it doesn't require anything to be manipulated except for the person's control.

This is the Fuuton version:

It's matters not what you tell me because when Naruto was learning with the balloons he had to rotate the water with wind

 

[uchihamad]

I think rasengan

Well rasengan is the pinnacle of shape manipulation. But with significant practice and chakra control you can pull it of.

Chidori however is shape manipulation and nature transformation. Therefore not only do you have to create a shape with chakra, you are supposed to transform that chakra into lightning as well.

I therefore conclude that chidori is harder (not necessarily more powerful).

But if you consider Rasen-shuriken, then its a totally different story. Because the only hard part about the Rasengan is adding nature transformation to it.

rasengan. You have to swirl the chakra and keep like that, while chiori is just letting lighting chakra rush out your hand nothing more.

Naruto, I think rasengan requires more skill.
What shape is a chidori anyway.

Rasengan only requires spatial recomposition, which means the user only has to focus on controlling one aspect, with Chidori the user must spatially recompose their chakra whilst simultaneously maintaining it's lightning element recomposition.

what? He was using chakra dude, Naruto didn't even know what chakra affinity he was in part 1.

He wasnt using wind,m he was rotating the chakra its self. Go and read the chapters where Naruto's training to create the Rasen-shuriken. Before this he had no idea what nature transformation was let alone use it. You clearly misunderstood the concept.

What shape are you talking about

 

[SanjiNL]

Rasengan is harder.

So you telling me Kakashi one of Minato's students, one who has the one of the best chakra controls among jounin. Seen the technique, couldn't make a stronger rasengan than naruto. I understand what your telling me but that logic doesn't make sense. How can the chakra rotate so violently without the influence of something.

You can't manipulate what you don't know you have. It's raw chakra he used to spin that water, Jiraiya says it himself. Chakra as a material is like a gas.

He releases it from the tenketsu (chakra point) in his hand and controls it constantly.

chidori has to master all the steps of rasengan then add in elemental infinity

Bych thats frs

What shape are you talking about

You don't get it do you.
Rasengan is chakra that is molded and shaped in to a ball (i.e. shape manipulation) also known as advanced chakra control.

Chidori is a bit different, the chakra is concentrated in the hand (i.e. shape manipulation) and this chakra is then transformed into lightning or electricity (i.e. nature transformation).

yea but if your element affinity is already lighting then you can skip a whole part of what makes the technique hard. Thus rasengan is harder to the average person trying to learn it.

 

[Cozat 87]

Ooohhh.... It's a hard one... It's depend of what type chakra the user has... Sasuke has alreally the lightning type chakra so it's easier to make it for him than Naruto makes a Rasengan.... But it's hard to say

 

[dvmaz]

So you are saying if Naruto knew what his element affinity was (wind) he could skip that part that makes Rasen-shuriken hard (adding wind to rasengan)?

Thats what you are saying by that logic.

I believe manipulating the shape of chakra then transforming it also, is harder than manipulating the shape only. This is fairly logical.

I under stand what u meant but chidori doesn't have one exact shape. It's not perfectly round like the rasengan, it fluctuates

 

[BlacLord™]

Even when you have an affinity, it still needs to be developed as proved when Kakashi stated that it took Sasuke a few days to grasp elemental recomposition.

Anyway, this is talking about skill, presumably in usage and with the normal Rasengan, the user can turn their full attention to the one aspect requiring concentration whereas with Chidori, the user must, as I quote Naruto "Must look both ways at the same time".
