"Late for the Show, but Ready to Go! The Ultimate Secret Technique is Born!" (だてに遅れたわけじゃない!究極奥義・千鳥誕生!!, Date ni Okureta Wake Janai! Kyūkyoku Ōgi - Chidori Tanjō!!) is episode 67 of the original Naruto anime.
Synopsis[]
With Gaara unable to move while within his shield, and Sasuke unable to break through its defence, Sasuke decided to use his new technique: Chidori. With it, Sasuke was able to pierce Gaara's shield, stopping his transformation, and becoming the second person to ever injure Gaara. At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi used a genjutsu to put the audience to sleep, signalling the start of the Konoha Crush.
