No more Chidori for Kakashi?

[Magnolius]

I just realized this, and i'm sorry if this has already been addressed before. I can't believe it took me so long to notice :sdo:

Kakashi can't use Chidori or Raikiri anymore, due to losing his sharingan in his battle against Kaguya. Sharingan is a necessity to using the chidori, as it negates some sort of tunnel syndrom. Because he no longer has Sharingan, he should still be able to use Raikiri or Chidori, just not as effectively as with Sharingan. I mean his is an Hokage, so if he's been using a technique for so long, he should be more than capable of using it.

Go on, Heathens, discuss.

I'm still wondering why was he chosen to be the Hokage in the first place. He no more has any proper strength and is just a normal jonin. However, it's probably because he has a lot of battle and overall experience, so this makes him a good politician or something of that sort.

There are several dozen reasons that I honestly don't feel like listing. I'll probably make a thread on it later.

actually don't need sharingan to use raikiri as proven in the naruto movie inheritors of the will of fire when the main villian(forgot his name) used it to destroy naruto's clones

That movie isn't canon.

never said it was just used it to point out the fact that kaka can use raikiri effectively without the sharingan

Lol. If you think about it, Kakashi should be on Hiruzen's level. He supposedly copied over 1000 techniques. Yet manga had him cowering before Orochimaru.

copy does not equal mastery

 

[Eng nawashi]

He can but he can't charge enemies at high speed with it ,specially skilled enemies who can counter attack kakashi's bltitz.

 

[Pukkake Pokayo]

He can still use it. Just best to use it up close and be sure it's a guaranteed kill. He also has his wolf chidori variant.

Didn't he use purple lightning or something in the novel too?

Well, this thread is in response to his lack of capabilities via canon.

That's called Shiden. It's meant to compensate for his incapability to use Chidori or Raikiri anymore.

Kakashi copied zabuza and used the tech on the same level as him, I would say that is mastery. Really just plot holding him back.

 

[lndra]

Kakashi can still use the Rasengan so I don't see the issue.

but can he use the tech without having the sharingan on or with out the tech being used on him?

actually brings up a point ive been wondering, why doesnt kakashi completely master the rasengan?(chidori was a failed attempt)

You mean apply nature chakra to it?

Well then there's your answer?

 

[Honord Sage]

The Sharigan was used to increase chidori and Raikiri effect and accuracy concentrating the chakra for maximum penetration so Kakashi should be able to use general electrical attacks like Cloud Ninjas do to fry enemies,just no penetration like a sword would do for thats what made chidori different it acted like a sword or dagger thrust to kill by piercing enemies organs.

more or less yeah
