RASENGAN VS. CHIDORI

which one do u guys think is better (stronger)?

first, the only person who could use it was the 4th right? (and ero senin)

chidori anyone fast can learn how to do it. even sasuke.

when naruto used rasengan and sasuke used chidori.....chidori somehow went through or deflected off rasengan

and went right through naruto. naruto got hurt the most while sasuke felt pain later in the episode...

no way chidori is stronger than rasengan...

RASeNGAN!!!!!!!!!

Uhhh... I'm only gonna leave this open because the last Rasengan vs. Chidori thread is very old. Have fun I guess.

Rasengan is more powerful, but Chidori cannot technically be used by everyone since the user has to move at an extremely fast speed and without Sharingan cannot counter any attacks his opponent makes on him while he is using it. They say that in Kakashi Gaiden when he uses it for the first time.

Rasengan has the same flaw, whenever Naruto uses it he has to use something such as kage bunshins to allow him an opening to make the attack, and it also takes time for him to make a rasengan similar to the time it takes Sauske to do chidori.

ALSO Rasengan is at least as difficult to learn as chidori, we all know how it was deemed impossible to learn in the approx 2 weeks Naruto took to learn it (first week was simply learning to produce it, 2nd week was the bet with Tsunade) and technically he didn't master it since he needs to use both hands and considerable time to form it, whereas Jiraya can make his in about a second using only one hand.

BUT Rasengan uses less chakra then the Chidori, because the chakra is contained perfectly in the sphere, even during the actual impact, while chidori burns more chakra since it is obviously not contained in a stable manner, with the lightning and whatnot.

STRANGE IDEA!!! Perhaps Rasengan was designed specifically to counter/improve upon chidori, now we all know that the 4th Hokage saw Kakashi use the chidori when Kakashi was approximately Narutos age, about 12, and that Kakashi is 26 at the start of the series, which means it was about 4 years between him witnessing chidori and when he died, just enough time to develope the rasengan and become famous for it. He could have designed it (as opposed to learning to use chidori) because it, when mastered as Jiraya uses it (not how Naruto does), is far less flawed then the chidori, requiring no prep time to use, not even a hand seal, so the enemy does not have as much of an oppertunity to counter, and since it is much more efficient at using chakra then chidori, a shinobi is not limited to so few uses per day.

Edit: also, the rasengan can be used with as much chakra as the user desires, thus only using as much chakra as the shinobi can spare, and allowing it to be used in a less then lethal way.

I'm still going to go with what I've said before. I believe Chidori is a deadlier jutsu.

Yeah, she can really kick the crap outta sousuke - poor guy.

I like Jaredster's analogy. It's simple, but it's true.
Rasengan is more powerful and has fewer flaws but the Chidori is a killer jutsu

....what is deadlier than an attack that kills upon impact? Rasengan has been proven to do more collateral damage than chidori....but it really doesn't matter. Both attacks require close combat. Both have about an equal chance of success. Both only take out one opponent at a time. Both can instantanously kill the target.

So what's the point?

[XanBcoo]

What makes Rasengan so deadly? So far (not counting filler), we've seen it spin people, make dents in a tree, and blast the shit out of kabuto...but not kill him.
Chidori can peirce through anyone and anything. It's just harder to use.

I think they are both just as hard to use.

[American Hero]

I have yet to see rasengan kill anyone.

I meant harder to use as in, rasengan is more versatile and manuverable. You don't have to be running 1000 mph in order to use it, and there's no blind spot.

Chidori = gun and Rasengan = grenade?

[naruto-kira]

Sasuke VS Naruto battle...people got that confused..alot saying chidori peirced through Rasengan......its not that.....im pretty sure chidori didn't litterally win...It was Sasuke that dodged Rasengan with Sharigan. Sasuke could c Naruto movements...He dodged it...He tricked naruto when he said, "Lets make this on our final attack," knowing that his Sharigan can dodge Naruto. It was a not so smart thinking in naruto's side...but Rasengan is much more stronger... than Chidori...Rasengan has more powerful because Rasengan can increase in power,velocity...u could always mold more chakara into Rasengan....You dont need speed to complete it. Chidori it like a powerful Edge...and Rasengan is like a Bomb...

and compare this....Chidori is like jounin lv jutsu while Rasengan is a Kage Lv jutsu...
Tsunade, Orochimaru, Ero Sannin acknowledge Rasengan more than Chidori. They know its a really powerful jutsu..because it was the 4th Hokage's jutsu

and u saw the comparision of dmg made in the first fight of Naruto VS Sasuke when Kakashi stoped them both from coliding and they both hit the water tank...Rasengan is more destructive...

[Jaredster]

Rasangan is like hitting somebody with a hammer.
Chidori is like stabbing somebody with a knife.

In my opinion.

[Assertn]

yeah....you dont have to see it kill someone to know its capable of killing someone (actually it DID kill that fake akatsuki guy that posed as itachi)

Kabuto's healing ability saved him from dying to the rasengan, and probably would have saved him (and without using up as much chakra in the process) if it was a chidori used on him as well. And yeah, fillers don't count.

The difference between chidori and rasengan is a bullet and a bullet that explodes on impact.

What? It took Kyuubi powers to heal a hole. I doubt that Kabuto has those powers and I highly doubt that it'll take less chakra than he used to heal from rasengan.

if rasengan can blow a crater into the back of that water tank, then it can blow holes into flesh as well.

For me Rasengan is something like killing with a Hammer and Chidori is like stabbing with a knife

It's good to see an original viewpoint on the matter

@Mut: how can chidori be used against multiple targets?? I must be forgetting something...

[Konohamaru]

I think Rasengan is overall the better move. It has more properties than the chidori.

Rasengan:
- No limit other than amount of chakra
- Able to move about freely
- No blind spots
- Faster to summon up
- hits hard and fast
- no need to run at high speed

Chidori:
- Kills
- Good stealth decoy sound
