They are not will manifestation. The only character, shown thus far, to use such an ability is Kaguya. How do you not see the resemblance? Both abilities allow the user to grow protrusions anywhere on the body. These protrusions can be broken off and be ueed as weapons. Anyway, I got an epiphany. This came up after watching AfroSenju's latest video, lol. But hopefully it will revive this thread You gotta give Kishi some credit, the man's a genius
 * The Chidori requires the Sharingan in order for it to be used as effectively as possible. As we all know, a Sharingan-user has some pretty dam good eyes. Chidori means, "One Thousand Birds". There are several birds called Raptors, aka, birds of prey. These birds are known for their extraordinary eyesight in which enables them to swifly swoop down and quickly catch their prey. This is similar to the Sharingan allowing the wielder to use the Chidori as effectively as possible, in which they are in rapid motion and it to prevent tunnel vision. Guess what is one of the animals Sasuke Uchiha, a Sharingan-wielding, Chidori-user, summons? It's a hawk, which is one of the birds of prey.
