Filler or Canon?
No — Naruto Shippuden Episode 104 is filler. It's anime-original and has no impact on the main story. Safe to skip if you only want canon. A kekkei-genkai obstacle filler beat — capable bloodline-power action inside the Three-Tails arc; sealed off and non-canon.NEXT CANON → SHP EP 113 · The Bet: Moral Many Atsui Showdown

Episode Summary
Breaking the Crystal Style pits the team against a kekkei genkai obstacle within the filler arc, crystal-release jutsu complicating the Three-Tails operation. The episode trades on a bloodline-power fight the anime stages freely, the cast countering a crystalline threat within the sealed frame. Competent action filler, it advances the standalone plot, every consequence held inside the arc. The Three-Tails containment continues, the crystal obstacle vivid in its bubble and absent from canon, a diversion touching nothing in the larger story.
