Rasengan > Chidori,

saying something has 8 levels doesnt make it better if lvl 8 rasegan = lvl 1 chidori
however i do like rasengan better, its stealthier with more vesitility, imagine using an openhanded taijutsu with a rasengan in each hand. granted u'd need tremendus chakra control, but still. and it can be used more than 3 times a day
that 8 levels thing is bullshit. Even though "level 3 Rasengan" is just about as good as "level 1 chidori"
The "levels" are just levels of mastery. The first 3 "levels" are something you must accomplish in order to use a normal rasengan. Level 2 is not better than level 1, they're just different aspects of the same technique that you have to accomplish in order to use it correctly.
The fact that rasengan has 8 levels only means that there are 8 things you must be able to perform in order to completely master it.
It could very well be that after having mastered the 8 levels of rasengan, that a perfected chidori is still just as good, if not better. But they're really just different types of attacks. Just pick which you like better.

Technically rasengan and chidori can be used either way; moving it all around like you do with rasengan, or run straight towards the target like you do with chidori. Seriously, what's the real difference between the two if the method of using them were switched? Rasengan would need sharingan, and chidori would be used freely (as shown when Sasuke used it on Naruto). So there is no real point in bringing up the method of use. The only real distinct advantage rasengan has over chidori is the number of times it can be used. But then again, chidori can be used on multiple targets at once.Originally posted by: PSJ
The Rasengan is better, you can use it in diffrent situations and tactics. Chidori works one way, run fast and dodge your enemy while trying to pierce him through the chest.
if rasengan can blow a crater into the back of that water tank, then it can blow holes into flesh as well.Originally posted by: Mut@chi
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.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure
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.

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

Rasangan is like hitting somebody with a hammer.
Chidori is like stabbing somebody with a knife.
In my opinion.
@Mut: how can chidori be used against multiple targets?? I must be forgetting something...
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Go read the Kakashi gaiden.
in the gaiden he keeps the chidori "on" while he runs and kills people, it doesnt disappear after he kills each person
i wonder if you could do the same thing with the rasengan though
oh, I remembered the Kakashi Gaiden thing, I just thought when you said at once you meant at the same exact time. That scene didn't occur to me b/c as basey said, he just runs around with it.
So there's another advantage, Chidori is reusable.
I don't think you can use the same rasengan more than once though. In every instance it's been used it has basically exploded upon impact.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Running around at lighting speeds, quickly disposing of multiple targets in one shot?
C'mon.
I think I have to fall upon the fact that the main character uses the rasengan as well as the fact that a legendary sannin uses it too
Rasengan is more powerful due to this
Chidori isnt reusable as you state though, more than a certain amount of uses would kill Sasuke, I assume Kakashi would be killed by it as well if he exceeded an amount as well
What do you mean by "reusable"? Do you mean use it repeatedly?Originally posted by: Tinks

My point was that a single Chidori can be used on multiple targets, which is completely different than someone using Chidori three separate times to hit multiple targets.

C) You're an idiot.
Quit trying to sound smart, it makes you look foolish.
if i recall sasuke's chidori and naruto's rasengan kinda canceled each other out..two times in a row..the first time they where both normal the second time they where uberfied with DEMON and CURSE powers...but there kinda on the same lvl...both high end jutsu's that require a large precise control of chakra and the other a great control over ones chakra circulation to form the WMD..

"Rasengan is more powerful due to this" Please...
Due to what? Because a Sannin and the main character use the bloody attack? That's your argument? Naruto uses an attack that transforms him into a naked chick. Does this mean that it's more powerful than Sasuke's grand Fireball? No.
And I'm not hypocritical, but I [i]am[i] a smartass.
I think what he meant was something similar to Terra's argument that because the main character uses it, it has "plot device" power, and will be given the advantage.
Of course I think that's stupid because the only time they've been used on each other, Chidori came out on top (due to the user, not the technique however)
and I meant "reusable" as in the same Chidori can be used against multiple targets. We have yet to see if Rasengan has this power, but I don't think it does.
Who else thinks the 4th said Chidori was an "incomplete jutsu" only because he was jealous? ;p

Edit: Give it up, Tinks. I don't want to fight with you.
