@Actionmanrandell, point taken. But even if the Chidori doesn't kill the person on impact the existing electricity could cause the persons body to shut down. Point being, just because the Rasengan makes the death more violent looking doesn't mean its better for killing. The chidori is assassination while the Rasengan is pulverization. So one being better than the other probably isn't logical. Also, its been shown that lightning jutsu can be used at a high level without directly affecting the user. The perfect example, the Raikage's lightning armor. Sasuke even used a Chidori powerful enough to destroy a meteor after he fully mastered the technique, and he was fine. So I believe he very well could use the technique do destroy somebody if he raises it to that level
