Name: Chidori
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Element: Lightning
Type: Tai/Nin (1 warm up : 6 cooldown : Can only be used three times a thread)
Range: Close
Description: This technique channels a large amount of lightning chakra to the user's hand. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible. The high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping, hence the name. Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and thrusts the Chidori into the target. This produces heavy amounts of damage that is usually fatal. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.


Name: Lightning Cutter
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: S
Element: Lightning
Type: Tai/Nin
Range: Close
Description: The Lightning Cutter is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks. According to Might Guy, it gained its name after Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it. Because the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is more focused and blue. In Part I, Kakashi is limited to using it four times a day, but by Part II he can use it at least six times. Kakashi has shown different ways of forming and using the Lightning Cutter. During his confrontation with Orochimaru in Part I, he creates it without using hand seals. In Part II he is able to form a Lightning Cutter in both of his hands to counteract Kakuzu's Lightning Release: False Darkness.

Name: Chidori Current
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Element: Lightning
Type: Ninjutsu (2 post warmup: active 5 posts: 3 post cooldown: Can be used 2 times a thread)
Range: close to long
Description: By releasing the Chidori in every direction, an electrical discharge flows from the user's entire body allowing him to affect multiple enemies. When using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it can effectively double as an instant defence. The body of the person touched by the Chidori will misinterpret the Lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves," making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receives damage. This will also neutralize other lightning jutsu so long as they are not more powerful. This attack can also be channeled through the ground to increase the range of the attack.

Name: Sword of Kusanagi: Chidori Katana
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: B
Element: Lightning
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Supplementary [list]No handseals (0 charge: active 5: cooldown 10)
Handseals (2 charge: active 7: cooldown 7)
Description: This technique allows Sasuke to flow Chidori through his chokutō. This makes it nearly unblockable as the radiating and chirping blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to go stiff, making it impossible for the opponent to move. However, it can be countered by other weapons that also utilize chakra flow, such as Killer Bee's swords.

Name: Chidori Senbon
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Element: Lightning
Type: Weapon/Ninjutsu (2 charge: 10 cooldown)
Range: Close to Long
Description: This is one of many variations of the Chidori that uses shape transformation. It is specialized in more speed, by being transformed into countless sharp senbon, all aimed at the enemy. By increasing the amount of chakra used, the number of senbon also increases. It can become even more effective by using it together with the Sharingan, allowing the user to precisely shoot for the enemy's vital points. [By expending an extra 5 chakra points you can add 10 senbon]

Name: Chidori Sharp Spear
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Element: Lightning
Type: Weapon/Ninjutsu (1 warm up : 6 cooldown : Can only be used three times a thread)
Range: Close to 10 meters
Description: The original Chidori gained its power by shaping it into a form sufficient for an electrical discharge and using it together with the user's own "thrust". This technique uses Shape Transformation to form the original Chidori into a spear-shape, adapting it for mid-range attacks with a maximum range of 10 meters. Although it's less powerful than the Chidori, its increased range means there is less of a risk to the user. It also has the advantage of being able to be used for surprise attacks and capturing. When the enemy's body is pierced the user can alter the spear's shape into multiple additional blades increasing the number of wounds. The blade can also be swung in order to cut things as well as cause fatal injuries.

Chidori and any version of chidori (or resengan) is not allowed, you may ask the staff (Tenzou and Shy since they have power over that and NO ONE else does) about this if you wish.

Here is a little "Bump" to see if anything changed.

Chidori and all of its variations are currently banned. If you'd like to be able to use them, you may advertise on 30 different, active forums and ask to have the permissions for the chidori variations.

I was merely checking to see if they were still banned after so long, along with that I would never use them since they give tunnel vision to anyone without sharingon. I am merely making them so that those who want them and are allowed can easeily assess them.
