The Lightning Cutter is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks. According to Konoha legend, it gained this name after Kakashi Hatake split a bolt of lightning in two with it. Chidori is already powerful on its own, but Lightning Cutter requires absolute chakra control. This is shown by its more lightning-like appearance and lightning-like sound it emits, as compared to the Chidori, which is a mass of white electrical chakra with a bird-like sound.
