Naruto 336 + 337

Naruto 336

Shikamaru was able to punch Hidan and connect their shadow, activating the Shadow Bind jutsu. Shika then drag Hidan off to another location and prevent his escape by using an exploding tag trap.

Kakuzu told Team 10 that they have underestimated Hidan by leaving him alone with Shika. He told them how long he has lived by mentioning when he fought his first ever Konoha nin -- The First Hokage. Each time his heart wears out or is destroyed, he will obtain the still beating heart of another nin and replace his own heart with it.
Kakuzu attacked Kakashi and captured him using those black threads. He planned to take Kakashi's heart.

Hidan attacked Shika as he thought Shika has reached his chakra limit. He activated his ritual by stabbing Shika to get his blood. It appears that his jutsu was a success as Shika was in pain.

Naruto 337

Hidan thought he has gotten Shikamaru. But at the same time he attacked Shika, Kakuzu cluched his heart. Kakashi has gotten Kakuzu's blood when he stabbed him with Chidori previously. Kakashi gave the vial to Shikamaru when he left with Hidan. Hidan was using Kakuzu's blood instead of Shikamaru's. Hidan did not know what was going on at the other side, but Shikamaru cut Hidan's neck to prove that he was OK. However, Shikamaru was low on chakra due to the extended use of the Shadow Bind jutsu. Hidan waited for the jutsu to end so he can attack.

Kakuzu wanted revenge for his two destroyed hearts. He attacked using his two remaining hearts/masks, but Choji blocked the attacks away. But that that time, Kakuzu absorbed the hearts back to his body again, sacrificing one for a replacement heart he has in store. Using his black threads again, he captured Team 10 -- Kakashi, Ino and Choji. He planned to take all of their hearts.

Before he can ripped out their hearts, a water and wind jutsu blocked Kakuzu's fire and wind attacks. Team 7 had come to the rescue -- the water and wind jutsu is a combo of Yamato's water attack and Naruto's wind Rasengan - together to form the Drowning Maelstrom jutsu. Yamato, Naruto, Sakura and Sai appeared and apologize for being late.

* Note that Naruto seems to be able to contain the wind Rasengan in one hand now. No clones seems to be needed.
