Let me start by saying I am not a hater, Hidan is not weak, I just think he doesn't have the overall skill level to be part of the Akatsuki. Let me explain myself as briefly as possible. See, Hidan is the weakest of the Akatsuki (Zetsu is an exception because he is there for a different purpose). Konan would wreck Hidan, having intel on his ability, she could just fly and cut him up into a million pieces, he has very little chances against her. As for Sasori, Deidara, Tobi, Nagato, Itachi, Kisame and Kakuzu, I think it's agreeable that all of them can beat Hidan.
Hidan is slow, careless, arrogant and easily fooled. These characteristics are all shown during his fight against Team Asuma and Shikamaru. I believe he is only in the Akatsuki because of his immortality. Yes, he is "immortal" in a sense (although he can die from a lack of nutrients) but this "immortality" is pretty much useless in a 1v1 because his opponent can just either cut his head off or the arm wielding the Triple-Blade Scythe, and he's as good as dead. If it weren't for Kakuzu, Asuma would have won that fight.
Hidan's good feats are:
-Good Taijutsu
-One Ninjutsu: Curse Technique-Death Controlling Possessed Blood-
He has no variety whatsoever and his taijutsu can be easily matched. Yes, one scratch from his scythe and it's most likely game over for the opponent but still, I just don't think that feature alone justifies his place in the Akatsuki Organization. Kakashi easily managed to dodge every attack and Asuma would have to (if he had intel). This being said, most ninja with above average taijutsu and decent speed can dodge or block all of his attacks. As I said earlier, he is slow and careless.
Another reason he is in the Akatsuki is because Kakuzu had killed every other partner he had..this is still not a justification because Tobi could be his partner, since he has that Space Time Ninjutsu technique, he can avoid Kakuzu's every attack until he calms down.
He is a powerful ninja but it seems that when compared with the other Akatsuki members..he appears weak. Dunno..I think the spot would've been better for another person.
