1) It was for plot.

2) In-universe explanation - Kakashi didn't use Chidori at first because he got panicky and that's why he tried to move the boulder with his hands. Then, he didn't use it after calming down because Obito told him his whole side was crushed anyway. And destroying, that is, moving this boulder could damage his body even further.

Wasn't Obitio saved by Madara via having parts of zetsu?

If Kakashi had removed the boulder from Obitio wouldn't Obitio be half a body and pretty much bleed out in an instant and die? Not to mention I don't think the leaf village could have saved him in his state.

soooo....sasukes chidori can break through a boulder consecutively with one burst.....but kakashi couldn't?


kakashi could have easily destroyed the boulder that was on top of obito with chidori all he did was try to push it off of him...what do you think you have a better chance doing? pushing a giant boulder? or destroying it with a lightening based jutsu that is made for piercing....

kakashi could've saved obito...guess it was just for plot reasons

and if he did chidori on that boulder, some other boulders on top of that one, would have fallen on obito and maybe on rin and kakashi as well.

He couldn't because he was out of chakra and as well, hurt. Remember that Rin treated him because he hurt his hand while using Chidori.

Not really since an instant after he was even able to finish a jounin with a chidori. I think it was just plot at that time, like the fight between Obito and Minato also. I always wonder why Minato didn't cut his head instead of stabbing him with a kunai when he speedblitzed him with Hiraishin just after the rasengan attack. There are some scenes in this manga that just happen because of plot, and that's one of them

But another reason that should be take into consideration is the place where they were. Some people actually fail to realise that the power of chidori in fact depends on speed, and there were actually not enough place there to begin to run and strike with chidori, about the power, we've seen he already had it, destroying trees like it was nothing

When Kakashi was younger he could only use chidori a few times in one day. He had already used it by that time and he needed to use it again to kill the remaining enemies and get Rin to safety. Also, Obito was crushed and apparently dead. Why would Kakashi use up the last bits of his remaining chakra to save what he thought was a dead body? Why would Kakashi waste more time trying to pull Obito out of the rubble when there were more enemy ninja and the cave was collapsing around them?

You assume Kakashi new Chidori back then,and the probability is He did not,that was a move created much later in Kakashi life.



Notice Obito right there alive and NOT crushed.

Well, yeah, but afterwards, he got injured and Rin had to take care of him. And just before the battle he was still injured, so I don't think he could've done Chidori.

Though I'll have to agree with you, the zone was pretty nasty as well.
