1. They both have Same hand Signs -When Raikiri was First shown Against Zabuza kakashi used 3 Hand Seals -when sasuke used chidori, he used the same hand signs -it's' listed that chidori uses other combination too, but in source it's said to be in episode 67, which is not the case, in that episode when sasuke uses chidori he used same 3 hand signs. 2. Gai mentioned that Raikiri is Actually called Chidori, it got it's name when kakaashi cut lighting In half. 3. Sasuke Tells deidara that Actual name for raikiri is chidori, when deidara called chidori, raikiri few times. 4. The only difference that I found is that, In fan translation of first databook there is rank difference between raikiri and chidori, and most likely that's because Chidori is well known to be dangerous, but with name of raikiri from kakashi, but name chidori is not that famous even tho it's jutsus actual name, The rank is Earned from not only jutsu power, but from how dangerous it is, if nobody knew that kakashi had raikiri it would have no rank. -in short, If anyone knows any more details about raikiri not being same as chidori comment it.
