Very much interesting.
So Kakuzu has Five Hearts, and can replace them with his enemies. He already lost one of the hearts with Kakashi's Raikiri... so they need to kill him 4 times more... bummer.
Well. You can't say Kakashi didn't kill him.
Shikamaru once more outsmarted Hidan, but I bet Ino will miss her Shitenshin no Jutsu even like this.
good chapter. but i am getting tired of the constant catch and release of hidan.
inos role may be important since shes the only one who hasnt waisted chakra at least untill team 7 arrives. im hoping she can do more then shintenshin, but right now theyre making it seems as if thats all she has.

Heh, I wonder what the next chapter will be like. Kakashi's probably almost at his limit and Ino is basically a worthless cunt by the looks of it. Hopefully Chouji will unleash some of his fat ass jutsus.
Well, well, I'm glad the new chapter is out.
The scanlation doesn't work for me nests, just thought I'd let you know.
Five hearts?wow
Looks like that makes kakuzu the 3rd akatsuki thus far that can steal abilities from his enemies.
I like the role that hidan plays in this fight in that he's this freaken tank that moves around the battlefield and the other team has to find ways of pinning him down. That type of strategy actually feels too practical for it to actually be in an anime.

doesnt that means he has 5 elements then?

Pretty much. Five hearts from ninja from five different countries = five elements.
Hurray for over-compesating.

Yeah Hidans tricky,but he's starting to piss me off not being killed now that Kakuzu really doesn't need him.
I do like how he's constantly fighting shikamaru though.

neat chapter... Shikamaru is the man!
also, I can see ino dying next chapter... she manages to get into Hidan and control him, and then Kazuku stabs Hidan and kills her mortal body - that would be awsome...
I don't think that Kazuku uses just any ninja heart to make his own, i'm still standing behined the theory that those masks are his former partners.
and lastly "Don't look down on us immortals!"
pure gold.
btw...when did kakashi use 4 raikiris?

One to stab Kakuzu, one to go for Hidan, two to stop the lightning jutsu from hitting Shikamaru and Chouji.Originally Posted by AssertnFailure
shikamarus just hit the next level of badassness... single handedly taking hidan without a scratch... that was like, what... 5 seconds?
Now that Shikamaru has Hidan again maybe someone in the group will figure out that even if he can't die they can make him unable to fight by cutting his body apart in such a way that it won't work in battle anymore. Cut his head in half, smash the tow halve into pulp, cut his limbs apart long ways and cross ways, smash those into a pulp, then set all the remains on fire. Even if he's still alive, he won't be bothering anyone for a while after that.
As for Kazuku, they'll just have to overpower him, I doubt they'll be able to pull off anything tricky.
Shikamaru is showing good strategy.. without him they'd be toast already. Seriously though, Kishimoto is overusing Shika's shadow jutsus and it's getting annoying. Wouldn't Hidan learn not to get caught by that thing? He's Akatsuki for crying out loud. I doubt he'll be held very long though. This arc is awesome, far better than the story with Sai. I still don't think Kakuzu has shown his full power yet. I wonder if he can use bloodline limits? With all the elements at his disposal, and former ninja's abilities as well, the possibilities are staggering.
