Biography
Hidan (Japanese: 飛段, Hepburn: Hidan) was a male human ninja who was an inhabitant of Yugakaure in the Ninja World.
Due to his homicidal rampages, Yugakure came to hire the Akatsuki with the task of eliminating Hidan with Pain sending Itachi Uchiha, Konan and Kakuzu for the task. Upon confronting them, he battled Kakuzu where he was able to destroy his opponents heart but was surprised to find out that he was still alive. It was then that Konan offered him a place in their organisation to which he accepted but only because he took an interest in the seeming immortality that Kakuzu had acquired. After joining the Akatsuki, Hidan came to be paired up with Kakuzu where the two were sent to capture the jinchūriki host of the Two-Tails.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Hidan belonged to the Jashin religion that was a faith which worshipped a deity named Jashin. According to their belief, anything less than utter destruction was considered a sin. As such, Hidan greatly disliked needing to capture opponents alive, and makes sure to pray before battles where he cannot kill. As a part of his religion, Hidan owned a charm with an upside-down triangle inscribed inside a circle (the symbol is sometimes drawn right-side up) that he carries on a chain of beads. Hidan prayed to this charm before battles and asks that he get nothing short of a kill.
Once a battle has begun, Hidan disliked being interrupted or being forced to stop the fight, and it takes a great deal of persuasion to get him to comply. After battles, should he have time, Hidan performs a thirty-minute ritual in accordance with his religion, which seems to culminate by stabbing himself in the chest and lying upon the ground.
Although he is a member of Akatsuki, Hidan dislikes many of the formalities reacquired for the allegiance, particularly being partnered with Kakuzu. Most specifically, he dislikes the fact that Kakuzu fights solely for money. Kakuzu also dislikes their partnership, and has little patience for Hidan's time-consuming battle style and rituals. Despite this, the two remain paired together as each is able to use the other's abilities to their advantage. Additionally, Hidan doesn't seem to like the Akatsuki leader and openly disrespects him in front of others. In fact, he doesn't seem to like anyone, and has not been seen showing any respect to anyone except Jashin. He also seems to use incredibly vulgar language at most any time, while always acting in an either very confident or very agitated manner.
Powers and abilities
The main technique used by Hidan was the Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood (呪術・死司憑血, Jujutsu: Shiji Hyōketsu) that was a cursed jutsu that he used to kill his quarries.
The primary weapon used by him was the Triple-Bladed Scythe (三刃の大鎌, Sanjin no Ōgama) which he used to kill his foes.
He came to be inducted into the ranks of the Akatsuki organisation.
