1) It can be because it obviously is. Why couldn't someone interpret it differently when obviously so many are?

2) What are you talking about? I'm talking about Sasuke thrusting standstill behind Sakura with enough force to kill her.

3) Doesn't matter how far someone is and how much you observe them. If someone runs at you full speed, and you move back just as fast, you move as fast. Not too mention, he pulled a Minato. He literally waited to move until Kakashi was within five feet. We see them clearly in the panel as Kakashi states "Number 18". Kakashi is still in momentum. The guy screams (the scream tells me that Kakashi isn't faster than sound). Slashes upwards. His Slash > Kakashi's speed. One reached the other first. I also like to point out all the clones reacted to Kakashi, and had it not been for Minato blocking all their kunai, Kakashi would have been dead.

But in anycase, I actually retract my argument of Chidori boosting speed. I wanted to see what was actually said from a legit translation. But I need to think and read it over more because of what the Viz has Minato saying...

'''"From what I saw, it's a strike with a single focus. It certainly has speed and destructive power... But it makes you move too fast to ascertain the opponent's counter attack. It's still imperfect."

I still disagree about Chidori's problem. If a technique connects then there's no reason to see your opponent's counter. Therefore, the problem isn't being able to see the counter, it's why they can counter. As long as the jutsu does it's job, there's no problem. If the target can counter, it is not doing it's job which is thrusting. Anyways, the statement "it makes you move too fast" can be evidence to Chidori boosting speed; therefore, I need to read Gai's and Lee's statements now.
