Was it ever stated that Chidori is the highest form of Nature transformation? There are many jutsu that thrust into an opponent; A good example here is the Hell Stab, a jutsu far more similar to the Chidori, that was created without any knowledge of the Rasengan. This shows, again, that the Chidori and Rasengan are not linked as jutsu (I've repeated this many times, yet no one has even acknowledged this). Again, whether or not Kakashi was influenced conceptually by the Rasengan (hypothetically, intending to create its counterpart) is IRRELEVANT AND UNSUBSTANTIATED, all I'm saying is that the Chidori and Rasengan are not linked FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TECHNIQUE.

@Rachin123 This is indeed getting tedious, considering that I've repeated myself several times yet my argument seems to be going unread.

EDIT: Just checked, the wiki doesn't list Chidori under the "derived/related jutsu" portion of the Rasengan page. There's really nothing else to say at this point.
