The chidori was specifically labelled as an assassination technique, of course iys better for killing. mauling your opponent? No but killing, yes. Anyone who took a direct hit from a chidori (impaled) died or was in danger of death. The chidori is about speed and piercing, which sounds a lot like a one hit kill under any (normal) circumstances. You just described what COULD happen if you get hit by a Rasengan, but it never did. Getting hit by a Chidori full on ends in death (especially if the user has a Sharingan).
