Why doesn't Kakashi use Rasengan?

[Joten Uchiha]

Just something I've always wondered but been to lazy to find the answer too haha..

He's been shown to be able to do it in both the Anime and Manga, it was his Sensei's signature Jutsu, you'd think he would have incorporated it into his fighting style by now..

Answers?

Cause chidori>> rasengan??

no :sy: rasengan over chidori stated by kakashi, OT: because i think he only used it to help train naruto and he might not have the chakra and it isn't really his style

 

[Flame Alchemist]

he prefers raikiri. I don't exactly know why but it suits him better. or perhaps he's accustomed to using raikiri, and now it requires less chakra compared to rasengan.

no shit as raikiri>rasengan...

 

[~Dream~]

He can only shape it.

I think it's because chidori works better with sharingan.

 

[The Sorrowful Prince]

Rasengan and Chidori are both different. Rasengan is more of a close range attack, (With the exception of RasenShuriken) and Chidori is more of a mid-long range attack, as both are manipulated as such. With that being said, I think Kakashi just prefers Chidori's style of attack.

It uses up too much chakra?

because he has over one thousand jutsu of course the Rasengan is not the strongest he has. I mean come on if you knew a thousand jutsu would you keep using one over and over, no because the enemy might learn how to counter your jutsu so you have to switch them up to keep the enemy guessing how to fight you hint why kakashi is still living
