Kishi is not intending this to be "cat and mouse". Kishi let Hidan escape the first time so he could setup the revenge factor for Shikamaru. Also, the "king" piece still has to be revealed. This second time Shika was losing chakra because his endurance isn't as good as Naruto, plus Kishi wanted to place importance on Kakuzu's real ability.

Who knows what will come of this time?
