Actual mastery with the technique is important too. Naruto for example could sustain a clone that was pierced by Chidori long enough to hold Sasuke for Naruto to land a hit.

Completely unrelated note that I had to get off my chest; I asked my Japanese uncle about Chidori and was wondering why they had such a short word for "One Thousand Birds." As it turns out, the first syllable "Chi" denotes 1,000, while the last two syllables "tori" is the bit that means bird.

So to translate properly to English, you can call Chidori "Kilobird" and I think that's hilarious. Sorry for the tangent but I had to share lol
