While not explained, I assume that he was going to try to seal the attack. It was one of those little details Kishi likes to add. I think Kishimoto added it to show Shika was able to take care of himself and was in control even in a dire situation. As opposed to Ino and Choji who Kakashi had to babysit for most of the fight.
But you're right about all the other loose ends Kishimoto has left untied. I have a feeling the questions about Kakuzu and Hidan will be addressed within the next few chapters so we can put them to rest.
