@Rachin123 See, I don't think that assuming a parent-child relationship is entirely justified. Meaning, I don't think it's semantically accurate to say that the Rasengan "inspired" Kakashi to create the Chidori, as that would suggest that knowing the Rasengan makes it easier to learn Chidori. Kakashi couldn't add his nature to the Rasengan, so, out of necessity of a powerful jutsu, he created the Chidori. He makes no indication that the Chidori is derived from the rasengan, only that necessity was derived from failure, if that makes any sense. Lmao, I'm still not sure if we're on the same page or not
