First Performed by: Hatake Kakashi Type of Technique: NinJutsu Chapter: 30 A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja using it grabs their wrist, and then collects enough chakra into their hand that it becomes visible to mere human eyes. With enough chakra collected into one focal point, that point becomes powerful enough to destroy an entire cliff side, and would easily decimate even a powerful opponent. The sound produced by focusing so much chakra sounds like a flock of birds, which is where it gets the name Chidori. Later, Gai explains to everyone that Kakashi used this attack to cut a bolt of lightning in half, which is where it gets the nickname Raikiri. This is an assassination jutsu intended to be a swift and powerful finishing blow. The ninja's body must be tempered to attack at such speeds while focusing that much chakra into one point. Also, they must have a good eye to counter their opponent, as this technique is a head-on attack. That is why the only two known masters of this technique both have the Sharingan. First performed by Hatake Kakashi in chapter thirty. He teaches the technique to Uchiha Sasuke, who first uses it in chapter one hundred and thirteen. Kakashi created this technique, and he and Sasuke are the only two ninjas who can use it. |
