It hurts, eh?
You've been judged
What does he mean?
Well? Can you comprehend the pain of others a little better now?
My arm got burnt too. Something to do with his jutsu? ...No, that can't be
You guys have now been cursed
But more importantly, I'll start my ritual
Now!!
Let's savor the utmost of pain together!!
You guys have now been cursed
But more importantly, I'll start my ritual
Now!! Let's savor the utmost of pain together!!
Why did Asuma get... Burned?
Don't tell me this is..
So this is the guy that'll give us 3 million ryo?
The preparations are now set!
Be prepared because you'll be in so much pain!!
Hurts, don't it?
Not as much as you vitals, I bet!
That's where you'll find the utmost of pain
The pain present when someone dies permeates through my body!
It goes beyond pain and turns into decedance
Asuma-taichou... seems to be holding his left leg...
That's weird...
It's the same leg that other guy stabbed himself in
You guys have now been cursed
...Of course
I get it... both our bodies are connected by some trick of his...
Meaning any damage he does to his body will also be linked with mine...
But... this guy is invulnerable...
What other pain do you wish to savor?
Or, do you want me to end it now!?
Shikamaru! That "shadow sewing" is a physical attack and will not work.
Use instead "shadow bind" and stop his movement!
Now!
I'm on it!
Die!!
As if I'd let you!!
You did good, Shikamaru!
You think with this...
Izumo, how much time since we requested backup?
About 10 minutes ago, so reinforcements will take another 20 minutes to get here...
Yeah...
Damn! What should we do!!
If we do anything to that guy the captain will also get hurt
In order to stop this type of justsu whose effects continue is to kill the opponent...
But we can't do that here..
There must be some rule to his jutsu or some loophole we can use...
First calm down, then you can analyze your opponent
Shikamaru saved me... I need ot use this chance to think of a solution for his jutsu
I don't have much time to think about this then...
If things will drag on like this, then I'll join in too...
We can't let such a big fortune get away
Didn't I tell you not to interfere Kakuzu!
I can handle it on my own!
The clothes he's wearing... Understanding his behavior until now
Speech... Personality ...Expression patterns
Every possible meaing for his actions
And relation between all his actions and movements
I can use all those things to guide me
Devising a hypothesis along with a technique and its probability and conjecture...
You've been judged
Divine... Judgement...
You guys have been cursed... Now I'll start the ceremony
Curse... Ceremony...
The preparations are now set!
Preparations...
What did Shikamaru come up with?
Did you pick up on anything Shikamaru?
Yeah
To come up with an analysis while maintaining control of his jutsu in these conditions...
In an instant and with his fingers like that, Shikamaru has the great analytic prowess to think of 200 possible attacks
And he posesses a "sixth sense" that allows him to choose the best attack from all those
Let's go, Asuma-taichou...
So that shadow jutsu forces you to mimic the users movements...
Dammit.. He knows...
What're you doing??
I've got to pull him out of that circle... If I can... His jutsu...
And his curse... Will be dispelled...
Are you sure?
That huge scythe...
There's a reason for the three blades
From what I can tell, he only needs to hit one attack, but he uses them to increase his range and chances of connecting
It doesn't matter if it's a serious wound or a minor one their only purpose is to draw blood
Basically, as long as he lands one attack...
He can use that jutsu to kill his opponent
You mean the "curse"?
But how does one small wound turn into that?
The blood
To curse his enemies and create that link between their two bodies,
he needs to drink their blood
I noticed him lick it off the blade...
I get it now... He just needs to open a wound
get a little blood on his scythe,
and then use it to "curse" them
Well, anyone would have noticed that his body changed after licking off the blood,
but there;s another requirement for that curse...
though it's pretty obvious too
There's more?
This kid's pretty good
He didn't just stand around and get hit by Asuma's fire jutsu
As soon as it started, he booked it back to that circle
Then he started shouting, "It's time to start the ceremony"
and "everything's ready!"
I'm thinking he can only begin the curse jutsu
after he steps inside the circle
Fuck... You...
Shut up
You talk too much
He's unbelievable...
Fuck you, you little shit!
After I get free, I'm gonna rip you to shreds! Then burn you to ash! Then grind you to dust!!!
There is no "after" for you!
He's out!
Right! Let's see if the "curse" has been lifted!
Yes!
God damn you...
I'm trapped...
I'm wiped out...
I don't think I can hold him much longer
It'll be enough.. Good work, Shikamaru
Kakuzu! Help me out!
Hurry the fuck up!
I told you - If you're careless, you'll die
We got him!
Finally...
One down, one to go...
If you needed a hand, you should've asked me earlier
Fuck you and your slow ass!
You let that happen!
You said "back the fuck off", you asshole
You're a god damned head and you're yelling at me?
Yeah, that's true, huh...
But either way, I don't feel like sitting around while you make fun of me.
Kakuzu...
Coud you get me my body, pleeeease?
Kakuzu! Bring my body here dammit!
Your head's lighter.
What the heck is wrong with you?!
You're gonna rip my hair out!
Hair? Shouldn't you be whining about your neck?
My neck? My neck isn't even in the same league!
Did you even see what he did to me?
He cut my head off!!
It freakin' stings you idiot!!
How...?
Th-... This is impossible
It doesn't matter
Even if he's still alive...
The jutsu's broken
Right...
So now we go after the other guy...
Shikamaru!
He's had it...
Captain Asuma's injured... But we've taken one of them out. We've still got the advantage....
We might be able to escape now...
Gotcha
Captain!
From now on...
I'm fighting too...
Okay, yeah. Whatever
Whew! It's finally back on...
Don't move so much, It'll fall back off.
He...He sewed it back...
What are we up against?
Man... These guys are unreal, they trump us no matter what we do...
Your stupid ceremony is bad enough, but I'm sick of you taking your time fighting
Kill the bounty, I'll get the rest
Izumo!
Right!
Nice...
Water element: Syrup snare field!
You're mine!
Asuma! Look out!!
Why use the same thing?
This isn't the same, stupid!
N- No...
I'ts time you felt the ultimate pain...
It's time for you to die...
Captain!
No!
Too late...
STOP!
