Obviously, you kinda hafta roll this card in a Chakra Control build. A little Suigetsu, a little Kisame, and your opponent is suddenly unable to negate this Jutsu. (Of course, if they only have 2 Chakras, their only real options for negation would be PtH Sharingan Eye, Giga Fan, or a Ninja effect, so the utility of this effect is limited.) Only a late-game Sasuke can play it, so you'd best grind your opponent's Chakra early, especially if they're rolling Obito or a similar Ninja effect (Sound Genin Squad is still legal, right?). And while 2 Chakra is a nice price for any Jutsu, this one gives Injury and a push. Of course, push equals negation and reduction of Team Power, but Injury instead of actual Damage? Seriously? I realize play-from-Chakra Chidori will rotate out sooner or later, but at least that plays from Chakra! For the same price! And anyone can use it! No push, but still... Oh, yeah, and while a player with low Chakra can't negate it, it's still susceptible to reactive effects, which means you may wind up wanting to negate it yourself. :P
So yeah, I'ma hafta give this card the thumbs-down. Not that it's completely useless (they are reprinting Chase, right?)... It's just not useful enough.
