In Chpater 7, you will see glowing lights dotted around the place. These will explode if they come into contact with you and will follow you. The best way to get this is to draw attention to yourself, and lure a guard into one of these exploding lights. Not as hard as I first thought.

Worked for me but took a few tries so for those wanting to skip the experimentation and get some specific instructions here you go. I did this on Easy.
In Chapter 7, proceed through the 1st area and when you get to the 2nd area you'll jump across a broken bridge. On your right will be a downward slope with a guard who walks an L-shape patrol pattern between the bottom of the slope, the building with an explosive light on the right side (that also contains a Scroll) and finally to the "front" of the building where there's a guard who doesn't move (he stands outside the building's main entrance).
What I did was Shadow Leap down to the shadow of the bushes on the right at the bottom of the slope, waited til the guard was moving from the middle of the L-shape towards to point of the L at the bottom of the slope and then Shadow Leap to the thin shadow of the "Notice Board" a little to the left (or use Shadow Creation to make it easier). Next, Shadow Leap into the shadow of the building and from there to the far side of the explosive light that's next to the building. This will let you use the building to block the guard's line of sight for the next step.
Wait for the guard to come back to the middle of the L-shape and when he stops hit him with Kurosuna to blind him, then run (using LB) through the illumination of the explosive light and to the other side of the guard. He can't "spot" you because he's blinded and as long as you've got him between you and the explosive light it's a guarantee.
You definitely don't need Kurosuna to get this achievement as every video I've seen was done without it but I had about 6 failed attempts in this location before I thought "hang on a minute, this has gotta be easier if I blind this dickhead first". I got it first try with using Kurosuna but be your own judge about this.
