Naruto Shippuden

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...
