Damn cool; plenty of action in this chapter. See how great this manga gets when we spend a few chapters without Naruto, Sasuke, or Sai?
I can't wait to read this once it's translated. It looks like a lightbulb just turned on above Shikamaru's head.

Nice. I'm eager to see next week's.
Going to be nice to see Shikamaru back in action again.

Darn it ends when it just got interesting. I wonder what Shikamaru's got up his sleeves....., but regardless it's going to be something special. I just wonder when Asuma's going to die.

Freaking awesome.
Shikamaru has just pyschoanalized Hidan in a few seconds and is planning something... can't wait for next chapter.
And it seems Hidan truly can't move while doing this Jutsu of his
Awesome chapter, it's good to see a fight with Shikamaru, because he analyses situations and what not. I wonder what he's figured out now.
LQ Scanlation is up at mangatraders.

Wow looks like I might actually will be right.Originally Posted by RyougaZell
the thing that bothers me a little is that if this turns out to be true than Hidan is really not that talented and is only relying on the fact that he is inmortal than of course he could have some ace up his sleeve
wow great chapter.Very hapy to see Shikamaru back in action.
Turns out we were all wrong about Hidan's jutsu.It's kinda funny how Hidan's jutsu is similar to Shikamaru's in a way and he's helping Asuma fight him.
But i guess that's Kishi for you

Nice chapter. It was cool to see Shikamaru in action again. Hope they'll continue the fight next week
Aside from the immortality, hidan's ability doesnt vary that much from characters like ino and shikamaru. Both of them can take over another person's body to inflict damage, in many cases the damage being mutual.

i'm thinking it's something religous and, will be somewhat obvious once he say's what it is.
If anyone was wondering, the circumstances line was referring to how shikamaru only bothered to think so hard in such dire circumstances, it does not imply that Hidan has to remain inside the circle.
Nobody stated that.
Hidan's theory about staying inside of the circle is from several weeks ago.
I wasnt saying anyone did.
My theory is that shikamaru is going to redo the ceremony/curse maby for a diffrent person idealy it would be kakuzu but i have a feeling something will go wrong and asuma will surely sacrifice himself in the end
Here's the Jinchuuriki relese. Sorry, it's rapidshare. I didn't see it hosted anywhere else. I assume the one currently at MangaTrades marked "LQ" is the scan by YUME.
Damn, I was hoping that the translation would reveal Shikamaru's plan. I guess we'll have to wait another week. The anticipation is killing me.

actually, I'm hoping that Asuma will tell Shikamaru that the three of them should focus on Hidan while he fights Kazaku alone, then he'll double suicide by cutting off his own head (thus atonning for the crappy double suicide moves of Chouji and Kiba in the chase Sasuke arc)... it even fitts what Asuma said about himselves ten chapters ago, when they were playing shogi.
Haha, I'm trying to picture Asuma lobbing off his head with a wind chakra kunai/sword. That'd be weird.
But yeah, reading these chapters is always refreshing after watching a shitty anime episode. I was looking at that page where Shikamaru was rethinking everything Hidan did, but I can't figure out what he's going to do.
Arggh, anticipation. :[
So if Asuma hurts Hidan, he hurts himself. If Hidan hurts himself, Asuma gets hurt. Nothing has shown that if Asuma hurts himself, Hidan gets hurt. Asuma chopping his head off seems rather anti-climactic and uncreative as a way to sacrifice himself. I do like Nests theory that Hidan has to stay in the circle to keep the bond for the jutsu going. Pretty much Hidan gets his ass knocked out of the circle to break the ceremony bond or whatever. But whatever Shikamaru thought of, he's forming a handseal at the end so his jutsu should be the one to break the bond. Of course a twist will occur (Kazaku stepping in or whatever), then Asuma will have to sacrifice himself.
