Shikamaru attacks Hidan from behind and makes a deep cut in Hidan's neck. After Hidan fell to the ground, Shikamaru uses his shadow jutsu to bind Hidan's movements. After that, Shikamaru explains what they had done to Hidan (using Kakuzu's blood). Hidan seems to be shocked and worried (punishment awaits him, I guess).

At the same time, Kakuzu also falls to the ground, but the two hearts start running towards Kakashi and the others. Chouji uses his father's technique to grow his body, and uses his technique to crush the hearts. The inexperienced kids get happy for that attack, but Kakashi knows the best. The hearts are still alive and succeeded in connecting to Kakuzu to keep him alive (or Kakuzu connected them). Then we see another heart getting destroyed. Kakuzu takes the shape of a puppet that leaks rope kind of connections from many parts of his body, including his mouth (a pretty disgusting scene).

Shika starts losing control of his jutsu. He is close to depleting his strength, and Hidan notices this, and prepares for another attack.

Kakuzu uses his remaining strength (and two other hearts), to tie Kakashi, Ino, and Chouji to make them motionless. And the two hearts prepare for an attack. However, we see two swirling chakras getting prepared to stop Kakuzu's attack. Wind Rasengan from Naruto (that is only shown to be carried and/or created by one hand) and some kind of water based technique from Yamato. Kakuzu's attacks are nullified. Naruto's team arrives. (Shika, at the same, screams for help, but nobody hears it)

so this will come out next week? *makes me a very sad panda*

There are no episodes past 215. You should also know that asking for where to get the episodes on this forum leads to an automatic ban.

This is a manga thread. It discusses the going ons in the naruto manga (not the anime). If you are unaware, the manga has carried the main naruto story. The anime however stopped for a while and produced a year of fillers.

Kakuzu has still 3 heart.
The one he uses as his own and those he uses to power the Wind and Fire masks.

We should wait and see, this was shown in the same fashion the Rasengan made By Naruto against Itachi, in this case it was shown while been already made.

:eyebrow: A Sarcasm I supposse??

This is amazing. It should be really cool to see if he can finally do something one handed.

No, at that time, the two hands were sharing Oodoma Rasengan, and we were only shown the end, rather than the formation. Naruto was using two other clones for wind rasengan during training, I would have hoped to see the hand of at least one of the clones during that formation process. And, I would have also expected to see Naruto's clones to not teleport themselves with the jutsu.

If you are talking about the virtual reality one, there was no visible clone there.

Well, everyone joined Kakashi's fight, all 4 of them, not a single one accidentally reached Shika's place, who might welcome a big help.

even if he could do the regular rasengan one handed there is no way he could do a one handed wind rasengan (hopefully he can finally do a normal rasengan without a clone so that he only needs one clone to make the wind rasengan)

Don't get distracted Hidan kill Shika, Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill^^.

If Shika doesn't die and manages to use shadow bind on Hidan again i'll scream :o.

(why does Yamato look like rock lee on the colour page? >.<)

While would it come out only next week ? The summary is also based from a script and not from the raw ?

Note that this summary is different from the 2 that were posted in the c236 thread and it most likely doesn't include the "spoiler" image.

Sakura and Sai ? (I have not read the raw, but there is no mention of them in the summary and I don't think they are on a date in Konoha)

I'm really beginning to hope Shika bites it soon *prepares for the onslaught of disagreement...*

So, now he's going one-on-one with Hidan, he's exhausted, mustn't have much chakra left going by how he looks and what he's done so far, and he must be a fair distance away from the others, so no help is gonna arrive...(and even if they do, he's surrounded by exploding tags...)

I just feel Shika has become the golden boy of the series recently, and Kishi took a bold step killing off Asuma, so Shika should go down as well IMO.

And if another team arrives JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME to save him, i'm gonna seriously consider grumbling for an unknown amount of time, possibly minutes...:heh:

Both of them are also there together with Yamato and Naruto.

You can see Sakura and Sai on the last page of the RAW, they are there...

very disapointed by that miss shika very.:eyebrow:
at less we get the answer to how shika put the blood on the syth.
for some reason i was expecting more from this chater. it did come to mind
that naruto would show up, but i expected fat boy and sakura 2 to at less
do something more:mad:

Most probably, the first part of his attack is over. Shikamaru can still use the field to his advantage. He gave an important cut to Hidan (with the binding jutsu, Shika could have loosened that head a bit more), maybe again based on his current plan. He might also still have the shadow-kunais.

I think naruto can now do rasengan one handed... I mean come on, its been 3 years...

The one shown before the Odoma Rasengan, even if it were in a genjutsu, Naruto was not aware of this and so he should had needed to go to the same process of doing rasengan as he always do. What we saw in this chapter was the wind ransengan already made, when the normal rasengan is done to this stage, the clones have usually dissapeared.

So It could go either way, or either he gained so much experience that He ended up learning it with one hand, or he was to pressured about Going out to Join Kakshi team that he did not cared to much about those minor details (which sound the most possible, IMO), as I said, we have to wait and see.

Yeah, but that’s different from saying He screamed for Help, reason why I asked if it was a sarcasm.

Holy shit gotta say this...Ino sucks balls. Did jack shiet this whole time.

In the translation i got there's no wind rasengan, only rasengan, and some water-based jutsu. So what was that in the end?

Edit:
just found a better translation where it says "wind element: rasengan". But it didn't seem as strong as the one Naruto used in his training where there was a big hole in the ground. I guess he needs time to master the move.
