Character Description: Hidan
Hidan is the second newest member of the Akatsuki to be accepted into it's roster, but relatively little is known about Hidan.
Like all Akatsuki Members, Hidan is an S-Rank Criminal, though his crimes, and the penalty for them is unknown. Hidan most likely comes from the Village Hidden in the Steam (Yugakure no Sato, "Village Hidden in Hot Water"), due to the symbol on his Hitai-ai (forehead protector) which is three curved diagonal lines (similar to Amegakure) that resemble 'Rising Steam'. He practices a very twisted and bloody religion known as Jashin, which means evil heart or evil god. This religion orders nothing but complete and utter destruction, and anything less than that is considered a sin. Upon victories in battle, Hidan performs twisted and long rituals, which irritates Hidan's partner, Kakuzu, who also annoys Hidan in that Kakuzu often gets sidetracked by bounty hunting.
Hidan's weapon of choice is a large, triple-bladed Scythe, attached to the end of a long cable, though Hidan's full experience with this weapon is shrouded in mystery, and we will probably never see it, since Hidan was killed by Nara Shikamaru.
One of Hidan's trump cards is a largely dangerous, unknown Jutsu, that endures attacks and blows, and reflects the damage back to a foe; however, Hidan must ingest the blood of the foe in order to perform this Jutsu successfully. This Jutsu is how Hidan managed to take the life of Sarutobi Asuma, a Hidden Leaf Jounin who was Leader of Team 10, including Shikamaru. Because of this Jutsu, Hidan may be immortal, but the Jutsu has a weakness, discovered by Nara Shikamaru. Hidan was caught by Shikamaru's trap, and blown up by explosive tags.
Shikamaru buried Hidan's remains. Although Hidan is immortal and thus not truly dead, he is buried and unable to operate, and no longer part of the Akatsuki.
