## Summary [ ]

Shikamaru catches Hidan with his shadow and forces him to attack an immobilised Kakuzu . Kakuzu is able to free himself at the last moment, but Shikamaru uses Hidan to drive him into a corner. In Konoha , Naruto nears completion of his new technique . While taking a break, Yamato tells him that all elemental affinities are naturally strong and weak to other elements. He points out that Naruto's Wind Release is weak against Sasuke 's Fire Release , but Naruto reinterprets that as his Wind Release making Sasuke's Fire Release stronger. Meanwhile, Kakuzu uses an earth -based defence to protect himself. Kakashi uses his Lightning Cutter , which is naturally strong against earth, to pierce through the defence.
