Is there any record of how old Kakashi actually was when he invented the
Chidori? I know it was before Kakashi Gaiden when Obito died, so he must have
been less than 10 right?

At what age did Kakashi invent the chidori


You are correct to say that Kakashi invented Chidori prior to Obito's death,
but his age is never officially stated. However, there are some details from
the _Boruto_ series (take with a grain of salt) where we can deduce that
Kakashi would have been roughly 11 or 12 years old.

> Minato was needed on the front lines at the time, leaving Kakashi,
> **recently promoted to jōnin at age 12 [Boruto episode 36]** in charge.
> [...] Shortly after entering Kusa, they encountered an Iwa-scout, Mahiru.
> Kakashi tried to eliminate him with his **new jutsu, Chidori** , but the
> attack speed left him vulnerable to counter-attack
