Actually that’s not the case at all, Kakuzu is smart he’s a thinker (Thats probebly why he's so good with mony, and is Akatsuki's treasurer), he built this from watching Shikamaru during the Asuma fight. Only he can pull off something like this for now, as far as we know.
This is what really happened, and Shikamaru explains it. The first set of exploding tags thrown with the Kunai’s, as soon as they exploded Kakuzu knew they were under attack, in the midst of all that smoke he sent one of his hands underground right there and then. However, not just that but the arm was totally severed it was separate from the body.
No one saw it either, that’s why no one expected it, the hand dug underground and waited for the next move, which was the 2 Chakra blades which had the Kage Mane jutsu inserted in to them, Kage Shuriken No Jutsu? o_O; or is it Kage Mane Shuriken No Jutsu? Whatever!
So yea, then Kakuzu just used his hand which was separate from his body to remove the Chakra blade from his own shadow. Now had the arm been connected to the body by threads, as soon as Kakuzu got caught by the Kage Mane, his arm underground would stop its movements too, but fact is, it was separated from his body. The only thing I can assume is Kakuzu manipulates the threads using his chakra, which is directly in the threads (kind of like the Chakra Blades) in to controlling parts of his body.
