Which technique is the simplest to comprehend Chidori or Rasengan?

[Bakura]

Also do you believe that Naruto and Sasuke could understand and perform each others signature techniques? (For the sake of the topic just imagine Naruto has a lightning affinity)

 

[The Necromancer]

I assume they're both equally easy to comprehend (Rasengan is swirling chakra, Chidori is lightning in your hand), but Rasengan is probably more difficult to perform, as multiple character commented that Naruto's goal of learning Rasengan was impossible, while I don't recall anyone commenting that Sasuke's use of Chidori was anything more than above average for his rank.

In Naruto's case he was incompetent and suffered from other issues. The fact that Sasuke learnt it was actually confirming his prodigious talent and Uchiha blood.

OT:Rasengan it's a swirling multi directional mass of chakra held in your hand and is just a change in shape.

Chidori is a a change in nature and a change in shape which has two seperate properties.

So I'd say Chidori is harder because of that, it's proper use requires Sharingan. Sasuke would be able to use rasengan effectively and better than Naruto because of his sharingan. Naruto on the other hand may be able to learn Chidori(like that'll ever happen) but not use it as effectively as Sasuke.

 

[Sir Blades]

The answer is Rasengan.

 

[Greatness23]

the creator of the jutsu cant use it anymore because he doesn't possess the innate talent to perfect it. Sasuke did that.

Rasengan due to chidori originating from it and sharing the same concept.

 

[Azarath Metrion Zinthos]

Chidori, due to the fact it's only Sasuke and Kakashi who are able to use thus far, while Rasengan has seven people or more who have been able to learn it.

Chidori is elemental
Kakashi only taught Sasuke.

 

[uchiha asuku aliyu]

Rasengan has more destructive power so i think its harder

 

[Uverdore9]

Rasengan attack inside whereas Chidori attack with a pierce nature.

Naruto could use sage mode with chidori the same way he used sage mode against the third raikage, that way he would be able to use chidori as effectively as sasuke if he were ever to learn it

 

[WarriorlWithin]

Chidori is harder to learn - you need to add nature element , Rasengan is just swirling chakra

 

[salamander uchiha]

Not really it was easier against the raikage since raikage is a linear fighter and SM doesn't grant clarity or precognition the necessary qualities for an effective Chidori. This is excluding Kakashi who has many ways to take maximum benefit of it.

 

[uhmusddy]

Rasengan is shape manipulation

Chidori is nature manipulation

Both are about focusing chakra so dense that it becomes visible to the naked eye

Tsunade didn't know about that piece of backstory of his as a "failure" and still deemed it impossible...which automatically proves your claim of his incompetence wrong, since he did actually manage to accomplish as much.

 

[Rikudou Tobi]

The rasengan is the easiest to comprehend but the hardest to preform while chidori is vice verda.
Chidori is change in chakra nature and shape while the rasengan is change in shape.

Didn’t naruto state he’d use sage mode danger sensing to dodge the raikages counter at the last possible second? Lol I might be remembering it wrong cause it’s been a while since I’ve seen that part, but if that’s the case then I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same for chidori. Rush in with enhanced sage mode speed and dodge any counter with danger sensing cause I mean it may be a linear attack that he dodged, but there’s no disputing that the raikage was still far faster than most other shinobi

Not really since Tsunade didn't know the ins and outs of the jutsu and she was bitter at that moment.

This is Naruto teaching Konohmaru the Rasengan, Naruto. In case you're confused then I'll tell you Konohamaru had to figure it out himself since Naruto is a shitty teacher. You've got to watch the episodes to get the full details

Anyway the point is Rasengan is peak shape manipulation jutsu, Chidori is a nature and shape manipulation jutsu it involves two seperate processes not just one.

You're right but that sensing is general sensing(like chakra sensing) you can't sense intent as you do with the Kyubi chakra mode. Anyway it goes back to what I said Linear and I forgot to mention Kabuto was also controlling the 3rd Raikage. Naruto wanted to enhance his reflexes so he could dodge faster against linear fighters who just want to solo you it might work but not against others. That's also escluding all of the other factors in that fight

I was going to say the rasengan was harder to comprehend but you're right about the fact naruto was able to teach konohamaru basically little kid teaching a little kid.

So I agree with the poster who says the rasengan is easier to comprehend and harder to learn although we never seen someone who wasn't a sharingan user or a genius use chidori or a variant

Even then...she still wagered her most precious possession over it. The necklace was something Shizune herself said she had never wagered before. That's how certain he was he would fail...and he didn't.

Regardless of what the anime has to say about this...I actually doubt that a lot. We only saw this one page of them learning the Rasengan, but if that was all Naruto told him and left him to figure the rest out, Konohamaru wouldn't know the balloon exercises he later on teaches to Boruto as he learns the Rasengan.
