so, when kakashi does it, its called lightning blade and when sasuke does it its called chidori. chidori in my opinion sounds alot cooler but back to the point, whats the difference? why the different names? kakashi made it and taught sasuke so why is it that they have different names? this may have been asked before and im sorry bout that but still, what do you think?
This has been discussed before. Use the search button.
Chidori is what Kakashi first invented.
Raikiri is a more enhanced and stronger version of the Chidori
But at this point in time it's practically the same. The only difference is the users.
-When Kakashi uses it it's called the Raikiri. He's made it
his technique.
-When Sasuke uses it it's called the Chidori. He's made it
his technique.
They're technically the same technique because they work on the same basis. But
by definition they are different. The Raikiri is stronger than the Chidori. It's like comparing the Rasengan with the Oodama Rasengan.
