Basically it all boils down to:
1) You can't run
2) Play defensive, and they'll smash you
3) Best luck trying to take one out.
It was the best choice out of all those. Not that they had much chance to begin with.

That option was not an option which is why I didn't mention it. Like I said before they had a mission to complete. You guys are really whining about this, they are ninjas they had a mission and people die on missions. Shit happens. Their priority was to complete their mission, besides no respectable ninja worth his headband would run like a pussy just because their opponent is stronger than they are. If it just so happened that back up had arrived in time and they then managed to escape after acquiring some info on their opponents you would be eating your words. This is Akatsuki we are talking about here its not like a chance to capture one of them comes around often.Originally Posted by DB_Hunter
Anyway I'll say it again because you guys seem to be looking at this from the wrong perspective, they are ninjas and their priority was completing the mission they were given. How would it have looked if in the Sasuke retrieval arc, Shika and his group had retreated just because the sound ninjas were stronger than they were.

Sapphire is awesome!
Plus, at its core, this is still a shounen anime. No matter how outclassed you are, there's always a chance someone in your group with unlock a crazy powerup in the middle of battle and win. And with 4 people in the group, that's four times the chances!
They live in a shounen world, where one second your dying and the next "Holy shit, did a demon fox just come out of that guy and kill those dudes! Awesome!" probably happens a couple a month.
Dude, Asuma should have done his priestess move. The same one that Chiriku has. That has an awesome defense. I'm sure the 4 of them could have set up a better defense instead of implementing some offense into their strategy. All they had to do was wait a little longer and hold out.
Chiriku could perform that technique better than anyone. He also had a monastery full of fighting monks. Look what happened to him?
It's pretty much safe to say two Akatsuki were overkill, no matter what they did.

I'm thinking Chiriku held them off pretty well with it. My point was, even though Asuma's wasn't as good as Chiriku, he had 3 other Chuunin's with him, not to mention Shikamaru.
I'm not sure, but did those monks help fight with Chiriku?
Is there a point here?
I'm sure they didn't all just stand there waiting to get killed.
Anyway I'll say it for the sake of saying it but Asuma shouldn't know that technique but now we get around to my big problem with this arc. Well its not just one problem but we'll get to the rest. Them killing everyone in the temple was without a doubt the biggest slaughter there ever was and ever will be in Naruto, and it happened off screen.

I'm happy Asuma dies - it was about the time somebody dies in Naruto after all those people following Sasuke miraculously survived when a couple of them should have died - but I'm pretty sure their mission wasn't to get killed. If they were carrying explosive vests and the mission was to get next to an Akatsuki and then trigger the explosives, then we would have been talking about a mission where dying is what you do.
Should the next episode present real reinforcements arriving and one or both Akatsuki getting killed, then we could say Asuma's decision was to delay the Akatsuki in order for that to happen. But if they both escape, then Asuma's was a fool's errand (assuming your stance of ninja getting killed in impossible battles is proper tactics in Naruto).
even if they don't take out hidan or kakuzo as long as one of the three that witnessed the battle survive, Konoha now has a huge amount of info on hidan's abilities, and a little on kakuzo. Where as before they had didly shit on both of them.
I suppose that's a valid point. A bit steep price to lose the son of the previous Hokage just to get partial information but at least if someone else than Naruto confronts those two next time the information will be extremely valuable (Naruto being too stupid to heed any intel anyway).
When's the next ep out?
next week
Episode 80 doesn't air until the 16th.
We have an overview of the akatsuki's.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
What's the whole goal of Akatsuki again? Join together with other super villains to get more power?
Its funny you say that since the only power hungry Akatsuki member we've seen so far, at least in my opinion, is Orochimaru and he got kicked out. Anyway you'll see more about Akatsuki's goals pretty soon.

All we know is that they're collecting Bijuus.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Bijuus and drinking tea together is my guess
But I find the akatsuki one of the best villain (groups) in anime history
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
Seriously, its the God Hand then Akatsuki and no other group really comes close. Its a pity we'll never see all of Akatsuki moving collectively but I guess that would just be too much.

Probably world domination, why else would super powerful bad guys get together?
