don't you mean chidori...

anyway, chidori isn't really lacking anything. granted the sharingan is needed to use chidori the way kakashi uses it, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily lacking in usability. if someone with sharingan were able to do rasengan, the jutsu would be even better. and as for power... i'm not sure where rasengan has the upper hand compared to chidori. chidori is actually more devastating than rasengan considering that it disintegrates anything it touches when rasengan is just a super powerful, swirling punch. so for example, if you dropped a a piece of wood on top of chidori, it'll just explode into tiny pieces (obviously there won't be flames or anything) but if you did the same for rasengan, it'll just bounce right off. imagine it like you are trying to throw something into a fan. it just gets tossed away.

yeah, i'm just making stuff up now.
