A few episodes after the battle with Hidan and Asuma... :'(. Shikamaru, Ino,
Choji and Kakashi set out to find Hidan and Kakuzu. When they find them
Shikamaru uses his shadow jutsu to "paralyze" the enemies. So far they can
only see just Shikamaru. Why doesn't Kakashi use his new sharingan to
completely obliterate hidan while he was frozen?

Please no spoilers as I am only in mid season 2.

Why did Kakashi not kill Hidan?


**THAT IS STRATEGY.** When you don't even know a single thing about the enemy,
would you go face to face directly? Well, in _Shikamaru's_ case, there must be
a person to be the bait, and once they make sure that the enemies are
completely immobilized, the plan begins. Unfortunately, _Kakuzu_ freed
himself, so the plan failed.

**Why did _Ino_ did not use the _Mind Body Switch Technique_ on _Kakuzu_?**  
**There are several reasons why _Ino_ decided not to use it.**  
**1.** If the opponent's will is strong enough, they can force the user to
leave their body. Apparently the stronger one has the stronger will.  
**2.** If the user's chakra level is low, the technique will be harder to
maintain.  
**3.** If any physical injury is inflicted on the victim's body while the mind
link is active, it would cause the user's body to also receive those same
injuries. This is a good chance for _Hidan_ to kill her by piercing through
one of _Kakuzu's_ hearts, and _Kakuzu_ will still be fine since he has
multiple hearts. That is not a good idea to eliminate the target.

**Why didn't _Choji_ , _Ino_ and _Shikamaru_ apply _Formation Ino–Shika–Chō_
in the battle to distract _Kakuzu_ while _Kakashi_ was aiming at _Hidan_ with
his _Mangekyō Sharingan_?**  
**1.** _Kakashi_ initially having trouble to aim at his target with _Kamui_
properly, he struggled to hit his target. Recall the episode when _Kakashi_ is
using _Kamui_ on _Deidara_. _Hidan_ is shown to be very skilled in melee
combat, meaning he could run and jump to dodge _Kakashi's_ aim.  
**2.** It requires some amount of preparation time and has a huge drain on his
chakra each time it is performed. If he missed, a huge portion of his chakra
is wasted.  
**3.** _Kakashi_ hasn't completely mastered _Kamui_ yet, so at the time
transporting an arm was his limit. Don't forget that _Hidan_ is an immortal
bastard, decapitation only makes him immobilize. Even though _Kakashi_ was
capable to aim at _Hidan's_ head accurately, _Kakuzu_ could reveal his 4 masks
with different nature affinity to disturb _Kakashi_.
