HIDAN
HI
A volatile, sadomasochistic Akatsuki operative who possesses absolute physical immortality as a consequence of dark, systematic religious experimentations. Wielding a massive, three bladed red scythe designed explicitly to harvest enemy blood signatures from a distance, his combat methodology is exceptionally grotesque. Once he consumes a target's blood, he draws a dark insignia in the dirt to initiate a voodoo matrix, converting his own body into a terminal proxy that mirrors any fatal trauma directly onto the victim, turning his battlefield presence into a terrifying psychological nightmare.

Open →Immortality · Money · Constant Hostility · Abilities That Survive Friendly Fire
Hidan and Kakuzu openly irritate each other, but their pairing solves a practical problem. Kakuzu has a history of killing partners when angered. Hidan cannot be killed through ordinary physical damage. Hidan's ritual fighting style is reckless and requires time and blood; Kakuzu supplies ranged pressure, multiple elemental attacks and the experience to keep a larger battle under control.
Why it worked
Their personalities are a terrible match and their bodies are a remarkably good one. Akatsuki does not solve their hostility. It gives that hostility a partnership sturdy enough to survive it.

Twenty NPU squads deployed to hunt the immortal bounty duo. Asuma engaged Hidan in close-quarters combat while Shikamaru mapped Hidan's movement using shadow manipulation.
The Breakdown
Hidan ingested Asuma's blood signature to trigger his dark voodoo ritual. Despite Shikamaru temporarily pulling Hidan off the symbol, Kakuzu's intervention allowed Hidan to re-enter the circle and pierce his own heart, inflicting a fatal wound on Asuma.
Akatsuki Suppression Saga · Ravine Battlefield · Battle Splits
Team 10's revenge mission becomes a full Akatsuki engagement once Kakashi joins them, with Hidan's ritual and Kakuzu's hidden hearts forcing the Leaf team to divide its attention between two very different threats.
The Breakdown
Kakashi destroys one of Kakuzu's hearts with Lightning Blade, but the apparent kill exposes Earth Grudge Fear and its autonomous masks; Shikamaru then draws Hidan away, splitting the encounter into separate fights.
Akatsuki Suppression Saga · Nara Clan Forest · Decisive Shikamaru Victory
After analyzing Hidan's curse ritual during Asuma's death, Shikamaru lured the immortal zealot into a pre-rigged explosive trap deep inside the sacred Nara Forest.
The Breakdown
Shikamaru used chakra blades to bind Hidan's shadow, tricking him into using Kakuzu's blood for the ritual, before blowing Hidan into pieces with hundreds of explosive tags and burying his dismembered body in a pit guarded by deer forever.
