Now that the question of the byakugan being unsuitable for chidori has been comprehensively debunked due to the magnitude of evidence that suggests it’s more than adequately suitable we can return to the core of the topic.

At first glance I thought that the jougan would be suitable for chidori but upon deeper contemplation of what we have seen so far I am now uncertain.

We know that the doujutsus abilities are basically divided into special abilities and some sort of visual prowess ability. For instance the byakugan has the special ability of seeing the chakra network in its entirety and then the visual prowess of 360 and telescopic vision. The sharingan special abilities like Susanoo, ameretsu, etc and then it’s visual ability of following and recording high speed movements. The rinnegan various special abilities and the visual prowess of shared/linked vision. The tenseigan we don’t have much info on.

Now we saw boruto’s eye has the special abilities of seeing the chakra network and dimension travel so far, non of which would really help with chidori. The visual ability we saw from him was seeing actual chakra in the people who were engulfed by the nue’s chakra. Now I’m not sure if he can only see malevolent chakra or just chakra on the whole but just seeing the chakra as a cloak outside the person’s body won’t help with chidori either. Now “speculation” if overtime when he learns to control and consciously activate the jougan he can see the actual chakra within someone’s body then may be able to predict the opponent’s movements if can see chakra build up in certain limb or part of the body prior to an attack. Based on what we know so far that’s the only way I think it can work with chidori IMO, or unless it is stated later on that he also has 360 vision.
