Hidan
Hidan (??, Hidan?), the self-proclaimed slowest-attacking member of Akatsuki, wields a three-bladed scythe that he can use as a throwing weapon while retaining control of it with a thick rope wrapped around his wrist. He is partnered with Kakuzu. An overtly religious individual, he refused to fight the Nibi without praying beforehand. He belongs to the Jashin ("Evil God" or "Evil Heart") religion, which commends slaughter, and where anything less than total destruction is considered a sin. Because of this, having to capture the Nibi alive was not something he was happy about, especially after the battle began.
Jashin (The Evil God or Evil Heart Cult)
Hidan takes his religin very serusly and prays before every battle and preforms a ritual afterwards. Jashin commends the complete slaughter of enemys, and where anything less than total destruction is considered a sin. Because of this, having to capture the Nibi alive was not something he was happy about, especially after the battle began. Before a battle, Hidan prays to his chain of prayer beads, wishing for nothing less than a kill.
	Hidan owns a charm with an upside down triangle inscribed inside a circle that he carries on chain of beads, which he used to help him pray; the same symbol is used in his pike ritual.
After a battle, he does a prayer ceremony where he lays down on a seal and sticks a pike through his chest, during which his skin changes color for an unknown reason; this lasts for thirty minutes.
