Also, we do not know the full capabilities of Chiriku. All we know was that he's more proficient with the Welcoming Approach Armed Jutsu. We know that Hidan and Kakuzu beat Chiriku rather easily. Even if Chiriku was close to Asuma's level, Hidan and Kakuzu are both superior to them, period. Even with knowledge they lose, but with mid difficulty.
