Asuma’s fire jutsu strikes Hidan, but much to the team’s suprise, Asuma is also burned. Hidan reveals his ability: By injesting an opponent’s blood and standing in a ritual circle drawn with blood, the “curse” links him to his opponent and all damage inflicted on him is also inflicted on the opponent. Asuma rushes at Hidan but collapses after Hidan stabs himself in the leg. Shikamaru realizes Hidan needs to be in the circle for the curse to take effect, and uses his shadow jutsu to force Hidan to step out of it. Asuma forces himself to stand up and beheads the restrained Hidan.

Hidan’s immortality enables him to stay alive even with his head cut off, although he cannot move his body. Kakuzu sews Hidan’s head back on with threads that sprout from his body. Izumo and Kotetsu try to attack Kakuzu, but he manages to grab them by using his body threads. Hidan, now able to move again, returns to the circle and stabs himself with the blades of his scythe; he finishes it off by stabbing himself in the chest with another spike, mortally wounding Asuma.

Kakuzu turns in Chiriku’s corpse despite Hidan’s complaints, and says that he is partnered with Hidan because he cannot kill him. The stress of the training begins to bring out the Nine-Tailed Fox, but Yamato suppresses it.

Asuma tells his teammates that if they retreat they will be killed and Konoha will be endangered. Shikamaru realizes that Asuma is considering sacrificing himself to help defeat the enemy, based on what he knows of Asuma’s shogi strategy. Asuma begins fighting Hidan while Shikamaru occupies him by forcing him to dodge Shadow Sewing. Hidan cuts Asuma on the cheek, and steps into a circle of blood and transforms just as Asuma uses a jutsu to fire a cloud of burning ash at him.
