Disappointing chapter, not much new happened. The jutsu looked cool, but if it's Naruto's new one then rushing in like that makes him look like an idiot again.
One handed Rasengan FTW.

That was a bit confusing.. wasn't Naruto's element wind? And rasengan is just chakra, right? What he used looked very much like water. Has he suddenly learned to control water aswell? Hmm.. maybe that was what he found at, since wind would only fuel Sasuke's fire.. Don't have the chapters with me, so I might mix things up a little.
It was a combination of yamato's water element and naruto's wind element. Of course naruto isn't going to be able to do water just yet, and also in the last frames you can see naruto and yamato both holding out a hand.
As far as shika's performance in this chapter, it does make sense to try for the decapitation then and there. I imagine going for all the hearts is the only way to possibly finish off kakuzu, and I dont think his trick would've allowed for that opportunity a second time. If he could've taken off hidan's head, then hidan would've effectively become useless again.

Here is a better scan, with everything in order.
I totally agree with Assertn, with a better scan it is clear that it was Yamato's water element.
In that scan it say wind elemental Rasengan. Wouldn't that be the complete jutsu? Or is it just a mistake?
I don't think we're totally sure Naruto has a 1 handed Rasengan yet. I think like, he just does his clone thing and he just has it in one hand in that picture to look cooler or whatever.
If it isn't a one handed Rasengan, it would be stupid, he's been training with so many Kage Bunshins that he's been at it for years and he still can't do it one handed? I don't like that idea.
That was a nice combo from Yamato and Naruto, now let's see what they are capable of doing.
I wonder if anyone is going to go help Shikamaru, and I wonder if they know that Naruto is the Kyubi brat.
They know that Naruto is the Kyubi jinchuuriki because Deidara told them he was. What they don't know is that the person before them now is Naruto.
I'm sure next chapter will have a dialogue similar to this:
Random Konoha ninja: Naruto! you made it!
Kakuzu: huh? So this is Naruto, the nine tails jinchuriki that Deidara mentioned...
And Temari is on her way to save Shikamaru again
I dont think I'd want to see naruto pulling 1 handed rasengans just yet. It's still too elite of a jutsu for him to have that skill to fully control. I was still expecting less than 3 hands though....

Nice combo by Naruto and Yamato. to bad the Chojis technique didnt do anything even though it looked cool. did anyone else noticed that this chapeter was 19 pages. I hope it keeps been like this so we can get more action.
Oh yeah Kakazu looks freaky I just hope this is well performed in the anime
nests let the fillers finish first and then worry about kakazu
I don't think it's his complete rasengan. Looking back at the previous chapters Naruto had his epiphany about using a second clone (beside the one to mold the chakra) to mold the wind chakra. So if it's the complete one he'll probably use at least one clone if not two to do it.Originally Posted by animus
And was it Chouji's attack that destroyed the 2nd mask or was it Shika's attack? It looked like the two masks were just in front of Chouji before he used his palm technique or whatever and then Kakazu freaked out and a mask was destroyed.
On a side note, been reading a long time, but first post.
Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!
Nah, it was Hidan's move that took out the mask, seems like it took out Kakuzu's main heart, then when the masks jumped back into his body, he lost a mask when it replaced hearts. Course it only looked like 2 jumped into him, instead of 3? Maybe I just saw wrong, he's got 2 on him now and his "own" heart, so that makes sense.
It's kinda weird if we're seeing Naruto's new jutsu already, but we already know he wouldn't be there unless he'd finished it, course wuoldn't he and Yamato be almsot wiped out by now? They've been training consistently for days, they've gotta be low on chakra.
I'm still just dissapointed Kakashi didn't do more, if he had enough chakra at that range he could just use his mangekyou and blast kakuzu away. At least Chouji TRIED to do something, even if it wasn't effective, I don't see why he didn't just stay big and create a barrier between kakashi and Ino and Kakuzu.
Oh well, it goes how it goes, wonder how long this fight will last now that the odds are ridiculous.
Well, I doubt Kakashi would use mangekyou in that situation, seeing as the last time he used it, he ended up in the hospital, and drained of chakra. Also, he was helping with naruto's training besides fighting to Akatsuki members. So he probably isnt going to risk using a desperation move like that unless he's certain of vicotry. Not to mention that he probably thought that he has no backup, and doesnt know Shika's situation.
Yup. No news on Shika. Hope he doesn't die.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
My theory seems more plausible than what really happened.Shika didn't throw anything and Hidan didn't use his scythe. Shika has the vial in his hand in the last page. His face also is unscathed. It looks to me that he wiped the blood on his face and let the needle sword precisely slash only the blood and not the flesh on his face.
So he perfectly timed pooring the vile on the needle and some splattered on his face?!?! My way would've been "cooler" and closer to reality.
I wonder if shikamaru is playing gimp or if someone's going to rush in and save him. I hope he's playing gimp and he pulls through on his own and doesn't need rescuing.
So Kakuzu lost another heart... only two more to go but it looks like Shika's team has run out of options. When I saw the hearts go back into Kakuzu, I must say Kishi did a good job drawing him. He is a truly badass villian, almost at the level of Itachi in terms of coolness. It kindof sucks how Kakashi isn't doing much in this fight - basically he just looks like he's constantly in a daze, bewildered by Kakuzu's attacks. He needs to work out some combos with the new team, and fast.
I also agree that now the odds are tipped in favor of Konoha. I doubt Kakuzu will retreat, but he should or he's going to die.
i doubt it'd be a good idea to multisize and take a hit from an insane jutsu like what kakuzu is doin now... i dont think that'd be too helpful.
i think shikamaru has this thing in the bag. he was probably trying to hack hidans head off before he canceled the jutsu... but he barely missed that chance... had hidan stayed a bit longer, shika would've ended it all with that knife slash... kakuzu wouldda got his head chopped off as well...
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...)
This is a cool fight, but why the hell is Ino still just standing there? Does Kisimoto honestly have no idea whatsoever how to write female characters?
I know it's been said before, but this is bugging me. At least Sakura has gotten to fight. Aside from posessing a bird, Ino has done exactly jack shit so far.
