Chidori Enhancement? [Spoilers]

[Merco]

This is something that just occurred to me when remembering Sasuke using the Chidori...

When you think about it, the chidori is a butt-load of chakra concentrated into the hand which generates the lightning effect... now this has been quite evident that sasuke relies on his sharingan to line the target up to always get a strike... but to add an extra dimension to this, would be if somehow sasuke finds a way to have the chakra flow to different areas of the body in bulk...

Imagine it like this... sasuke is rushing a guy with this thing on his right hand... this guy knows better then to try and dodge it, so he intercepts his right hand to reveal it's just completely empty... completely baffled at the speed that sasuke came at him... he didn't realize that he switched his chidori to his other hand and now it entered the guy's blind spot under the hand that grabbed sasuke's first hand.

Think it could be possible?

[DAK]

I believe that due to the time required to charge up the chakra to the hand being used, and since the chakra is completely visible to everyone around as well as the person being attacked, there is no real way to fool the person into believing that it is one hand while it's the other.

What if it made the big noise and all that and he acted like he was charging his right hand...but it was just a blue flashlight? Or one of those vapor sparky orbs.

hahahahahahah
i can just imagine that, sasuke making the noise with his mouth and running along flashing a light


Sasuke: bruuuuuummmmmmmm...er....chirp chirp
generic chidori victim #1: ..........
Sasuke: CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP FLASH FLASH FLASH
generic chidori victim #1: @___@;;;
Sasuke: *thrust* fo0l3d u n00b
generic chidori victim #1: errrrr, what?
BOOOOOOOOOM and he explodes.........

Spoiler:

I have thought that sasuke would combine his chidori with naruto's rasengan, and create a very kickass combo of the two. but probably not

I wonder..why did sasuke just stick his chidori/raikiri at Gaara, I mean why didnt he sorta like move it up to slice Gaara in half. If its very sharp should be no trouble.

/me puts on green uber tight thingy
/me puts on Gai voice

"the strength lies in the speed of the thrust"

/me dances

hehehehe thanks for the laugh Kyoji. Something tells me the flashlight and making noises thing won't work *stops laughing briefly to catch breath*

I think considering the insane amount of chakra doing both the resengan and the chidori at the same time would require, even though it is sasuke, I don't think that would be possible. I'd be amazed to see even Naruto pull that one off.

how about instead of switching hands...dun dun dun doing one chidori in each hand so you could be all pimpin

he could move his hands really fast and write his name with the chidori

or he could cut it into your back!!

Instead of switching the chidori, Sasuke could combine it with his shishi rendon. He uses the chidori to fake his opponent, then launches a modified version of the shishi rendon, replacing the last kick with a strike from the chidori. I don't see why it would be necessary, unless someone could block the chidori, but it would look cool.

Spoiler:

Itachi grabbed Sasuke's "mighty" Chidori like it was nothing... that bird aint chirping no more!!

So it's by no means a fail-proof skill... it could use alot of work. Who knows, maybe he'll do one up on Kakashi and make the skill better. Not anything soon though.

Perhaps the best enhancement for the chidori would extend its reach. The chakra is concentrated and projected away from the hand. If Sasuke had like another 6" of reach, he would have probably killed Gaara when he was in his cocoon.

more like he would be another 6" away from the cocoon. It shouldnt have any effect how long his arm is; its all about the SPEED of the thrust. You could have chidori formed on the end of a broom stick, but if you go the same speed you're not going to be doing any more damage or making any more progress than without it.

just concentrate his chakra on his foot.. it be a powerful kick

wella ctually considering a the chidori is considered a chakra blade of sorts, then a few mroe inches would have put his hand further into gaara... his hand barely went into him, a bit further and he could have put his hand through the other side of him... that's a bit harder to survive

also on the ntoe of the rasengan beign copied by sasuke.. I am pretty sure he can't....

their is a reason naruto is only the 3rd person to know the movie.. that no uchiha ever learned it when the 4th was around that ONLY jaraiya and the 4th knew it, not even the proffesor who knew every jutsu from leaf knew it... oro didn;t know it... kakashi never picked it up, etc..etc...

there is soemthign mroe to that attack....

also consider that naruto has to use a clone to control it... cause he needs mroe hands

I don't think that was so much a failing of the chidori as it was a failing of the person using it.

And if Gaara hadn't been freaking out at the sight of his own blood, he could have killed Sasuke while he was stuck in the sand. Both missed out on a good chance to kill the other one at that moment.

Maybe Viyacin should start making "All natural, Chidori Enhancement pills." I can just see the commercial now.

As I said, Chidori depends on SPEED not length of your friggen arm.

Lets use an analogy.

"Billy stands 6 feet tall exactly, and his arm is 24 inches long. There is a row of 10 couch cushons just standing on end, and billy feels like venting his adolesent end-of-the-world angst on said cushons. Billy has a 5 inch long knife. Billy charges at the cushons at exactly 5mph, because he spends half his day on the internet writing in his blog. Billy stabs through 2 of the cushons.

Now meet Vilbert. Vilbert is also 6 feet tall, however he has a reach of 27 inches, instead of 24. Vilbert also feels like stabing random couch cushons with a rather unattractive pattern. Vilbert charges the cushons at 5mph as well, because he spends half his day playing dungeons and dragons down in the back room of the cash and go with his friends puss and wuss. Vilbert also stabs through 2 cushons."

It doesnt matter how long your arm is, its all about how hard you thrust it, and you thrust harder by RUNNING FASTER, in the case of chidori. In the case of gaaras cocoon, Sasuke had to punch through it so that he could hit gaara. The amount of speed he used was enough so that he was able to break through the cocoon, but it greatly lowered his thrust, therefore causing the minimalistic damage inflicted on gaara. Even if sasuke had another FOOT on his arm, if he doesnt have the speed or thrust, the only difference will be his body being that much further away from the cocoon.

Edit: I should probably mention that sasuke wasnt exactly shoulder deep in the cocoon, at least from what I saw. If he were however, then yes, I agree an extension would have made a difference, but as I said, from what I saw, he wasn't, so it was simply a matter of speed.
