Summary
The Rasengan and Chidori are powerful techniques with different strengths; the Rasengan relies on brute force, while the Chidori focuses on precision. Naruto and Sasuke have created stronger versions of their techniques, but the Rasengan has a slight advantage due to its damage potential. In the final battle, the Amaterasu-infused Chidori was on par with Naruto's Rasengan, highlighting the relative balance in their power.
The world of Naruto contains many different types of ninjutsu that are both beautiful and powerful. Shinobi have mastered many techniques and even use a specific technique as their special move. Naruto and Sasuke both have a special move that helps them win many battles, but only one can be the strongest.
The Rasengan and Chidori have clashed many times, but there has never been a clear winner. Whenever fans have seen these two techniques clash, it results in a massive explosion of chakra, usually ending in a stalemate. The only time Naruto has shown a difference in power between the two techniques is when Naruto and Sasuke fought on top of the Konoha Hospital. The possibilities are different when both techniques are redirected into the water tower. Both techniques Using different types of chakra manipulation, it is necessary to compare their power.
The Power Behind Both Techniques
The difference between each ability
Fans saw the effects of both of these techniques when Naruto and Sasuke first used them. Sasuke used Chidori against Gaara during the Chunin Exams, breaking through Gaara's impenetrable sand armor and causing Gaara to bleed for the first time. The power of Chidori comes from the speed and precision of the attack rather than raw explosive power. It concentrates lightning chakra at the point of impact, creating a concentrated piercing strike that can penetrate any defense. This attack helps target someone's weak points as it has a smaller area of effect than the Rasengan.
Unlike the Chidori, the Rasengan does not have any natural transformations or require any hand signs to use it. Later in the series, users apply their innate chakra nature to create a more powerful version of it. Naruto did this when he added his Wind Nature to the Rasengan, creating the Rasenshuriken, which is significantly superior to the Rasengan in terms of power and force. Its power relies on the blunt force of the technique, having a more direct impact on the opponent instead of piercing power. Due to the strong rotation of the chakra from the technique, It causes massive damage to anyone hit, damaging their internal organs and sending them flying backwards violently..
Rasengan has a slight advantage
The brute force of the Rasengan gives it the advantage.
The Rasengan is all about raw power and brute strength, while the Chidori is all about precision and a more focused attack. Deciding which one is superior to the other is a challenge, as they are very different attacks that can be used in a variety of situations. Naruto and Sasuke have honed each technique and created stronger versions of them, making them even more deadly. Sasuke's Susanoo has been able to use Chidori is infused with Amaterasu, able to suppress Naruto's various versions of Rasengan..
However, when Naruto received the power of the Six Paths, Naruto was able to create various types of Rasengan and Rasenshuriken using the chakra he obtained from the other tailed beasts. The Rasengan is superior to the Chidori in power as it can cause damage upon contact with another individual.. The Chidori can also cause great damage, but it requires the user to be very precise when attacking. In the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke, a Chidori infused with the flames of Amaterasu was needed to be able to match Naruto's Rasengan in power. If Naruto had enough chakra to use the Rasenshuriken, Sasuke would lose more than one arm.
