Hidan can kill an enemy by just scraching them. He can tank most attacks. And cant be killed. For those reasons alone,he is top five akatsuki easily. All he has to do is scratch you and your done. Dont say everyone is as smart as shikamaru.and they can build the same trap. Shikamaru had the smarts and days in advance to plan that. and if u think your fav akatsuki beats him explain why please.your thoughts ?
Pain - Hidan can't really kill any of the Six Paths, since they are already dead bodies being controlled by Nagato
Kakuzu - Earth Release: Earth Spear protects from all his attacks, even without it, has to strike a heart to get any blood, 5 times.
Kisame - He's faster swinging Samehada than Hidan with his scythe, so it would be like Kakashi vs Hidan with a lot more water
Itachi - Susanoo to defend, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and any decent Fire Technique to attack.
Tobi - Kamui, gets through every one of Hidan's attacks
Deidara - One explosion and Hidan will be in the same place he is right now:
In pieces, at the bottom of a hole.
Sasori - All his puppets to attack and defend, and Hidan has to strike his heart to get any blood.
Konan - Have fun trying to slice paper for blood.
His best chance at beating an Akatsuki member is Zetsu, and thats because all we know he can do is Wood Release everywhere.
