The OP is 100% correct.

He cannot be faulted for his observation. Never has Chidori been a quick and subtle attack. Always loud, always bright. It takes time for the caster to charge the chakra and this is the equivalent to 1000 birds chirping.

Using an army of people playing the brown note would be just as subtle. +rep OP

And none of those were stealth missions, they were direct combat type situations. Read the OP.

well kakuzu wasnt aware of his presense. many assassinations work like this. you distract them while other ones get in position and one shot^^

Finally someone understands what I'm getting at. If Chidori is an assassinatin technique just because it can kill it one shot, then, with that logic, so is an RPG. Stopping power does not denote the fact the entire opposition would be altered to you in their midst when they hear CHIRPCHIRPCHIRPCLICKCHIRPCLACKCHIRP and see a huge, blue light coming illuminating the area.

Edit: Damn, I was too late.

Now. While Kakashi has indeed managed to catch him off-guard here.
1: What is it about the big gash in the chest that's subtle?
2: The light might give his position awayto the enemy, in assassinations, that's not the point.
3: He had to hid while his clone distracted them.
4: It's not like Kakuzu & Hidan are like "WOW, who did that?!! I didn't see anyone?!!"
5: When you compare a silent blade which kills quite clean to Chidori, we can safely say it's the winner of the two.
6: Assassinate means to kill by surprise. Not with a direct shot and alerting people to your presence.
7: Snipers, poisons, knives etc are all used to assassinate people without getting detected.

The point of assassination is to go undetected!!

Next you're going to point out how Ninja's in Naruto aren't stealthy.

I'm pretty sure it means it was a tech designed to one-shot.

a murderer of an important person in a surprise attack for political or religious reasons.

It is meant for assassination in a way that is swift and targets a vital point.
What you mentioned were the drawbacks of an incomplete version. Still, the fact that it carries drawbacks doesn't invalidate the purpose of the said jutsu, as it can still work given the right scenario.

Just because an A-bomb will take out a target, does not make it a great tool for assassination!!!!

Because it is a tech used in a surprise attack to kill the target in one hit, I don't understand what you didn't understand.

Assassination is a surprise attack not a stealth kill...

Unless you also imply the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to be stealthy also.

By that logic Kirin and TBB is also an Assassination Jutsu.

Run someone through with amazing piercing power and kill them in one shot.

Do you even know what an assassination is???

I used facts and definitions if you could learn to read.

Not your preconception of assassins or an assassination.
