Naruto 326

Hidan bitches to Kakuzu about the hair pulling and complains about the pain of the beheading. The Konoha ninja watch on and Shikamaru weakly states Hidan can't use jutsu without his body. Izumo states they have a chance against the other now and Asuma thinks over whether they should now flee. Suddenly Kakuzu has kicked Asuma back. He places Hidan's head on the body and dark threads emerge from his sleeves to sew it back on. He warns Hidan to be careful or it'll come off again. The Konoha ninja think over how impossible this is and Kakuzu tells Hidan to take Asuma while he goes after the rest. Kotetsu summons a huge weapon and Izumo charges and emits a sticky glue from his mouth.

Kotetsu emits a protective chakra to his feet and runs across the surface, the charging Kakuzu gets stuck. Kotetsu lunges to strike but Kakuzu unravels stitches from his forearms and sends out his hands to grab the two men by the throat, sticky tendrils running from the forearms to the hands allow him to maintain control. Asuma charges his blade and stands to swipe at Hidan. His opponent jumps back and pulls his scythe back from Asuma's blindside. Asuma dodges and the weapon impales Hidan in the chest. Hidan merely laughs at the pain and points out he is now in his circle. Asuma doubles over coughing up blood and Hidan gloats that he is feeling the pain of death. He pulls a pike and Shikamaru runs, yelling for him to stop. He can only watch in horror as Hidan plunges the pike straight through his chest.
