According to Kakashi, there are 5 fundamental chakra natures: fire, wind,
lightning, earth, and water. Each nature is superior than another, and
inferior to a different one.

Focusing on wind and lightning chakras, Naruto's only nature chakra is wind,
so the Rasengan must be a wind-type jutsu. Chidori, of course, is lighting.
Kakashi said to Naruto that, using wind chakra, he cannot defeat Sasuke's fire
abilities, but against lightning, wind can easily beat his lightning jutsus.

This leads me to my question...

In the _Naruto_ series, there are many occurrences where Naruto clashes with
Sasuke. Their battles always end with a Rasengan against Chidori blast.

Since Rasengan is generally wind-type and Chidori is lightning, shouldn't
Rasengan easily beat Chidori? I can't imagine how a lighting style jutsu can
match, even beat a wind-style jutsus. Maybe Kishimoto accidentally forgot
about wind's superiority over lightning, but I just want to ask: can someone
explain?

Why didn't Naruto's Rasengan beat Sasuke's Chidori?


The standard Rasengan [has no natures associated with
it.](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rasengan) It was originally based on the
Tailed Beast Ball, which is simply a **_dense_** amount of chakra directed at
a target.

Eventually, Naruto adds his wind nature to Rasengan, which, [in
turn](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Rasengan), [creates
several](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Rasenshuriken) different
variations of it. But neither of these variations are being discussed.

However, this doesn't mean that either Chidori or Rasengan have a direct type-
advantage over the other. At that point, it becomes a matter of the abilities
and strengths of the wielder, and as we now understand it...

As we know sasuke had the intent to kill, on the contrary Naruto was there to
get sasuke back rather then killing him there with a full-fledged chidori
