Affiliation: Yugakure → Akatsuki Age: 22 Birthday: April 2 Zodiac: Aries Blood Type: B Height: 177.1 cm Weight: 56.8 kg A rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in Hot Springs and a member of the Akatsuki. His partner in the organization is Kakuzu. He has silver hair slicked back and purple-pink eyes. He is known for his distinctive laugh ("Gehahaha!!") and a habit of drawing out his vowels. His catchphrases include "...you know, really" and "I wonder..." A fanatical follower of Jashinism, a cult whose primary commandment is "Thou shalt slaughter thy neighbor." While crude and foul-mouthed, he is deeply sincere about his faith. He not only offers prayers during battle but also spends up to 30 minutes in prayer after a fight. His primary weapon is a triple-bladed scythe attached to a rope, designed not necessarily to kill, but to have a wide reach so he can draw even a drop of blood for his rituals. He possesses an immortal body that cannot die regardless of how deep the wound is, even if his heart is pierced or his head is severed. However, he lacks regenerative abilities and must rely on Kakuzu to stitch him back together. A curse technique Hidan learned from Jashinism. By consuming the target's blood, he links his body to theirs, causing any damage he receives to be inflicted on the opponent. He refers to this as a "ritual," "curse," or "divine judgment." Ritual Steps: 1. Consume the target's blood. His skin turns black and white, resembling a skeleton. 2. Draw the Jashin symbol on the ground with his own blood. 3. Stand inside the circle to perform the slaughter. He is somewhat rebellious toward the leader, Pain. As a devout Jashinist, he shows no respect to anyone other than Lord Jashin, often calling the Akatsuki leader a "crap leader" behind his back. First person: I (rough, casual)

Affiliation: Takigakure → Akatsuki Age: 91 Birthday: August 15 Zodiac: Leo Blood Type: A Height: 185.0 cm Weight: 63.2 kg Interests: Reading (old books) A rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in the Waterfall and a member of the Akatsuki. A tall man who hides half his face with a hood and mask. Under the hood, he has long, brownish-black hair (never visible unless the hood is removed). He has red sclerae and green irises. Despite being 91, he looks remarkably young and handsome. His mouth is slit at the corners and stitched with black threads (tentacles). He wears the standard black Akatsuki cloak with red clouds over a navy blue sleeveless shirt. Generally calm and composed, he has a violent habit of killing anyone who irritates him, even his own partners, which is why all his previous partners are dead. He speaks in a definitive, blunt tone. He does not draw out his vowels like Hidan. Using the forbidden technique Earth Grudge Fear, he can steal the hearts of others along with their chakra circulatory systems. This allows him to use the elemental affinities of the stolen hearts. He maintains a set of hearts to cover all five basic nature transformations. These hearts can be detached from his body as masked, tentacled monsters. He cannot be killed unless all five hearts are destroyed, as he can replace them by stealing new ones. He can store up to five hearts. A forbidden technique of Takigakure. It allows him to manipulate black threads from his body to bind enemies, detach limbs, or sew wounds. He can also harden parts of his body for defense or offense. He serves as the "Treasurer of the Akatsuki," frequently hunting bounties from the Bingo Book to collect rewards at exchange points. First person: I (stern, mature)
