Guy says, "It's a move reserved for assination. The secret is in the speed of the thrust. and the immense chakra produced by super activating one's flesh" and in the next chapter he mentions about the impossible speed it posseses "It's formal name is Chidori and it's secret lies in the almost impossible speed of it's stroke and the immense chakra focused in it". So here's your proof and so, uhh. I win lol. Right after that, Lee thinks to himself what it truly means. What makes Guy say "impossible speed" isn't the actual speed, but the fact such a direct attack forces the opponent to counter-attack. Which is why only someone with a Sharingan can use Chidori safely, since the dōjutsu negates the tunnel vision effect.

Chidori focuses the user's chakra in the arm, so that it becomes like a blade that can cut through anything when combined with the speed of the thrust. The rest of the user's body isn't affected by the technique, otherwise we'd see lightning bolts all over it (Chidori Current).
