Hidan

How Hidan joined the Tourney
After Yugakure deteriorated from a shinobi village to a tourist site, Hidan became infuriated with how things were turning out. He believed that the shinobi that resided there were meant to kill, and thus slaughtered his neighbours before leaving Yugakure, and joining the cult-like faith known as Jashin, a religion that worshiped a deity of the same name. The primary teaching of this faith appears to be outright slaughter, where anything less than utter destruction is considered a sin. Through experiments with Jashin's secret technique, Hidan was granted immortality. Eventually, he had become affiliated with the criminal organisation, Akatsuki and after learning that one of its members, Kakuzu was a pioneer in immortality as well, he joined and was partnered with Kakuzu.

In the anime, Hidan and Kakuzu met with Sasori and Deidara to discuss their new missions assigned by Akatsuki. After Kakuzu said they had a choice between a money-making mission and a war-mission, he chose the money mission after Sasori and Deidara showed no interest in it, much to Hidan's annoyance. Some time later, the duo was sent to capture the jinchūriki Fū. Fū, who was excited to befriend Kakuzu despite knowing the rogue shinobi's history, baffled Hidan with her carefree disposition.

To appease Jashin, hidan is sent an assignment to capture Sportacus who holds a deity inside his body.

Hidan sends his Three-Bladed Scythe out saying "Watch this!" to sting the opponent. If he does, he announces "A sacrifice to Jashin!" He then draws the Jashin insignia and turns his skin skeleton-like. He then says "Conditions's met. Judgement shall come." Then aims his Retractable Spear at his frontal and says "It's gonna hurt!" then slashes himself giving heavy damage to himself and the opponent who's knocked away. Hidan then changes back and says "Feel the pain?"
