He's never interacted ever with Boruto in the manga and only once in the anime during the graduation exams. So far i've seen nothing that makes me think it's special or different in any way. Chidori is difficult because it both uses nature transform and shape transform for a highly localized, high damage attack. It requires immense speed and so immense reflexes.

What we've seen of Purple Lightning so far is that it's chakra in one's palm that occasionally shoots out. It seems no more complex than any other lightning jutsu.
