I had assumed that as well, but then I realized Hidan released his voodoo jutsu before shika slashed him. I doubt Kakuzu felt anything from Shika's blade, and also would not have been decapitated.

and i was kinda hoping kakashi would resort to rasengans after depleting all his raikiris. or atleast reveal why exactly his hand was wrapped up in the first place... (we still dont get a damn hint of that after the bandages get blasted off...)
Rasengans? Kakashi explained already that he could barely create something that could pass as a rasengan. His lightning affinity doesn't compliment that type of jutsu.
