And Kakashi's MS is strictly a last resort, it uses way too much chakra for him to use it in a battle that has just started, if he doesn't incapacitate both of them with it immediately, he'll be useless for the rest of the battle.

Anyway, they are going to follow Shikamaru's plan. If its in the plan then they'll do it, if not, then they won't.
Oh I wasn't aware they told us his plan, if I had known I wouldn't complain about them doing something silly. /sarcasm

Ino's technique is perfect for this. Control one and have Shikamaru hold the other still while the before mentioned one kills him. Not sure how that is terrible...

I understand that Shikamaru is attempting to learn more and setup moves that we couldn't in a thousand years perceive would happen but we've known for a long time that Shikamaru is great for holding someone still while a slow technique is used on them, not just to play with them.
