The thing I don't understand is this:
Why does Kishi have Shika, and Hidan playing cat and mouse over and over?I mean after a while(hopefully this last chapter)one of them will finally get caught and be done for,I'm guessing Hidan.
its symbolic. shikamarus avenging his dead sensei. all this talk about him fulfilling his role and stuff... possibly to foretell sasuke's avenging of his clan.

but thats only my guess. either way, i only think it proper that shikamaru be the one to finally make sure hidan doesnt get back up.


or perhaps he can sever his head and mount it over his fireplace.
