In the explanation at the Chuunin finals, doesn't Gai also say something to the effect that its like a "sword" and that Kakashi "cut" through lightning with it? I know we've only seen it as a thrust...but is it possible that chidori could also be used as a slash attack maybe? I mean...the power might now be as great but it should still kick some ass.

Also, when Naruto used Rasengan on Oro's bitch didn't it turn into a projectile at the end? I think that's the only time I can recall the move doing that... So...is Rasengan gonna turn into a Kamehameha thing eventually...God I hope not. And since Rasengan needs no seals, couldn't he have one in each hand or use two hands for a bigger one?
