Did Kakashi actually invent the Chidori?


In the newest filler episodes of Naruto (462 and 465), they show Hagoromo and
Indra using some sort of lightning release that looks like the Chidori. So did
Kakashi actually invent it? Or did he copy that technique just like all his
other attacks and claim it as his own?

Here's the referendum from [wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chidori):

> The Chidori was created by Kakashi Hatake after he failed to apply his
> lightning-nature to the Rasengan

Maybe in the said episodes the ninja uses a **_variant_** of **_"Chidori"_**.
There are various altercations of Chidori that visually looks _"similar"_ ,
e.g. **Raikiri**.

So I guess what I am saying is, even though _"that"_ particular form of chakra
behaviour exists, it is possible (and canon) that Kakashi is in fact the one
who invented Chidori.

It is very possible in _Naruto-verse_ to invent a new jutsu even if they
haven't been taught down the generations. But as canon goes, till this date,
Kakashi is said to be the inventor of Chidori.
