Asuma’s team reaches the bounty station and ambushes Hidan. Izumo and Kotetsu attack Hidan, but are unable to kill him despite hitting vital organs. 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.

Amagai, however, is willing to die to achieve his revenge, and calls upon his bakkoutou's power in order to kill Lurichiyo, Yamamoto and Ichigo.
