You stole the name from Naruto...didn't you? Which is fine. It's been what, over 15 years since the episode/manga with that technique debuted? I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone young who watched it grew up and made a thing.

It's definitely a reference to it! It also broadly does mean thousand birds.

I don't know much about Naruto so initially I thought it could be a Persona 3 reference.

Interestingly, in the Shona language it means 'puppet' which I found very appropriate as it is a functional framework which you have behave in whatever way you want.

This was my primary assumption re nomenclature

Lore dump: This is not a coincidence, as the characters themselves refer to the chidori being named due to sounding like thousands of birds. The alternate name used by kakashi, raikiri, is related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachibana_D%C5%8Dsetsu
