Hidan

The immortal zealot

Hidan is one of Akatsuki’s most disturbing members: a foul-mouthed fanatic devoted to Jashin, a god that demands death and slaughter. His faith is not a metaphor — it is the literal source of a power that makes him nearly impossible to kill.

The curse ritual

Hidan’s technique is a blood ritual. Once he ingests a target’s blood and stands within a drawn symbol, his body and the victim’s become linked: any wound he inflicts on himself is mirrored on them. He impales his own heart to kill from a distance, immune to the damage he deals.

Partner in bounty

Hidan operates alongside the money-obsessed Kakuzu, an odd pairing of a man who cannot die and a man who keeps killing him for interrupting rituals. Together they cut a bloody path, and it is Hidan who murders the Leaf jonin Asuma Sarutobi.

Buried, not beaten

That murder brings Shikamaru Nara for revenge. Unable to truly destroy an immortal, Shikamaru instead outsmarts him — severing Hidan into pieces and burying him deep in a collapsing forest, leaving the zealot to a conscious, endless entombment rather than the death he could not receive.
