After Orochimaru had requested that he never use his most amazing jutsu that almost never failed to stop any enemy in his or her tracks again, Sasuke wondered how the one person it didn't affect had managed to stand up to its might.
Most likely, it had been because his opponent had seen it before, and therefore, he'd lost the element of surprise...
It had been at the Valley of the End. He had been tiring. He had energy for maybe one or two more jutsu. He decided to try the one jutsu that had so frightened the masked ninja in Wave and had caused Orochimaru himself to stop in his tracks, even if it was only for a moment, before he spent the last of his energy on a Chidori, as it wasn't a very Chakra intensive jutsu despite the powerful effect it had.
The only effect it had on Naruto however was to cause him to blink before jumping to attack with a yell of "That reminds me, I still need to get back at you for stealing that scroll the Old Man gave me!"
