By looking over the time frame of yesterday's chapter, I can conclude one thing, whatever Shikaku's tactic was... it will result in something tragic.
If we look here, we clearly see Shikamaru looking shocked before the actual explosion went off. The question is why were they shocked? Because the messaged had reached the army and whatever Shikaku told them meant that the only way to stop the Juubi would be to sacrifice themselves to stop the juubi, or something along those lines.
The reaper seal maybe? Notice how Shikaku says 'Consider this our last mission'
Let's not forget what Jiraiya said, 'A shinobi's life isn't measure by what they did during their life, but rather what they did before their death'
Before Shikaku died (as it stands), he made sure he got the message out to save the ninja world.
Discuss. Disagree. Everyone's opinion is valid.
