So you won't let me get away, huh?
This shadow technique only lasts about five minutes, right?
And it's just the two of us...
That works out well for me, too. You idiot!
I can stock five hearts including my own.
Kakashi... I will take your heart to replace the one you took from me!
Everything's ready...
The two separate bodies merged.
So the Fire Style... and Wind Style masks merged, huh?
Kakashi... I will take your heart to replace the one you took from me!
That one, huh?!
Trying to force me into an open area where he can shoot me down, huh?
Is that your idea of hiding?
- Sensei! - Sensei!
Shikamaru's Genius
You did a good job of hiding this time, Kakashi.
But do you have the courage to show yourself before us again?
Not again!
Water Style: Water Wall!
Fire with the wind Change in Chakra Nature added... can't be put out just with Water Style, huh?
Looks like I'll have to confront him at close range, after all.
Kakashi Sensei!
It appears you didn't get around to watching out for my movements.
Your heart... is mine.
Die!
How about that...? It's addicting pain, isn't it?
I'm counting on you... Shikamaru...
How worthless...
Lord Jashin must be disappointed...
Now...
Kakazu must be about finished by now, too...
Wh-What did you do?
It seems... he made it just in time...
I-Impossible!
Time to go...
Not deep enough?!
You jerk...
How are you alive?!
You jerk... How are you alive?
I just pretended...
I was dead.
The blood on that weapon...isn't mine.
It's your partner's blood.
I-Impossible...
Yes, it is possible.
Your own blood was used for your partner's ritual.
So, Kakashi Sensei, here...
Please use it when there is a chance.
I'll let you keep it.
Shikamaru knew his opponent's ability utilized blood, after all.
He'd prepared capsules of blood in advance.
What does that mean?
Anyone would've been fine...
If given an opportunity, we needed to get your partner's blood.
In this capsule, you see...
It can't be... When did you have the chance?!
When I put a hole inside you with my Lightning Blade...
I took your blood at the same time.
I'll capture him by myself.
And...
And I'll fulfill that role...
So I took it... and my role was to trap you.
Hey, where are we going?
Are you trying to separate me from Kakuzu?!
You... jerk!
Shouldn't someone go with him?
You're really underestimating Hidan.
And here, that kid called Shikamaru or whatever...
would've become a bounty of high value someday.
Today...he dies.
Heh. That was...our strategy.
You jerk...!
No way...
That kid... He planned that far ahead...
That's right.
You should've handled him more carefully...
You guys really underestimated him.
There's no way he would let the information that cost Asuma his own life go to waste.
You guys who take peoples' lives without hesitation
could probably never understand how he feels.
Kakashi Sensei!
Are you okay?
Well...somehow I guess.
I can't believe they invaded his body this much in such a short period of time.
If Shikamaru had taken any longer...
Slowly! Make sure not to damage the vessels.
I'll treat you immediately with Medical Ninjutsu.
Treatment can wait!
What?!
Here they come!
Expansion Jutsu!
Super Slap!
Nice! Good one, Choji!
Choji!
What?!
Oh no!
What?!
He came back to life?
He absorbed the Lightning Style monster's heart.
What's that...?
His main body's a monster, too.
Two of my hearts...gone.
It's been a long time... since that happened...
Even I can tell, and I'm not all that bright...
It's been so many times already.
Any idiot could figure out your Jutsu after seeing it so many times.
What did you say?
It seems your Jutsu isn't as strong as it was before.
I didn't even need five minutes...
I can move!
The endurance of your Jutsu power and its effect gradually decreases each time you use it.
Basically, the longer you use it, the weaker it gets.
Aren't you just about out of Chakra? Huh?!
You won't get away...this time.
Here he comes!
- Right! - Right!
He's fast!
Damn it!
I can't move...!
Kakashi Hatake...
I was going to replace the hearts I lost with yours...
But I've changed my mind...
I can get more hearts anytime I want, after all...
Die!
Wind Style: Rasengan!
Water Style: Ripping Torrent!
Hurricane Vortex Jutsu!
Sorry...we're late.
Perfect timing...
