What country is Hidan from?

Hidan belonged to Yugakure, also known as the Village Hidden in Hot Water, and was an S-rank shinobi. Unfortunately, very little is known about his childhood as his past is still shrouded in mystery.

Hidan grew enraged with how things were progressing after Yugakure turned from a shinobi village to a tourist destination. Before fleeing Yugakure and joining the cult-like Jashin religion, he killed his neighbors because he believed the shinobi who lived there were meant to be killed. The way of Jashin worships a deity named Lord Jashin and its core principle central tenet appears to be a blatant slaughter, with anything short of complete annihilation being condemned as sin. Hidan was granted immortality after testing Jashin's undiscovered method. After joining the Jashinists, he started believing that anyone who does not worship Jashin is meant to be killed.

At some point, Yugakure hired Akatsuki to eliminate Hidan. Konan, Kakuzu and Itachi Uchiha were dispatched to finish the job. At the encounter, Hidan destroyed one of Kakuzu’s hearts and was surprised to witness that Kakuzu had survived. After witnessing his abilities, Konan offered Hidan a chance to join the Akatsuki, which he accepted because he was intrigued by Kakuzu’s abilities. He became a member of Akatsuki where he was paired up with Kakuzu.

In his early years in the Akatsuki, Kakuzu had already killed his first four partners due to his short temper, and had used their hearts for his Earth Grudge Fear jutsu before teaming up with Hidan. The major reason he was paired up with Kakuzu was that Kakuzu could not kill Hidan, as he was immortal. He wanted to kill Hidan as well but he tolerated him, just because he could not get rid of him; a feeling he shared with Hidan, as Hidan could not get rid of Kakuzu either. Kisame Hoshigaki, another member of Akatsuki, jokingly referred to Kakuzu and Hidan as the Zombie Combo.

In the Akatsuki Suppression Mission Arc, Hidan and Kakuzu were tasked with hunting down and capturing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, which they accomplished relatively easily, proving how strong the Akatsuki members are.

After they handed over the jinchuriki to Zetsu, the duo headed over to the Land of Fire, where midway through, Kakuzu decided to attack the Fire Temple and capture a monk, Chiriku, to claim the hefty bounty he had on his head. Hidan was not on board with this as he did not agree with Kakuzu’s obsession with money but had no other choice other than to follow him. After defeating Chiriku and annihilating the monks present, the duo headed on their way.

As Hidan and Kakuzu reached the bounty station and claimed the bounty on Chiriku's head, they were ambushed by a Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village) shinobi team led by the jonin and former member of the Twelve Guardian Shinobi, Asuma Sarutobi. A monk who escaped their grasp informed them of the situation, and the Konoha shinobi had been preparing for them.

While Kakuzu was still inside the station, the Konoha shinobi initially attacked Hidan, hoping to eliminate him and get the drop on Kakuzu. Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara, Kotetsu Hagane, and Izumo Kamizuki ambushed Hidan. To the surprise of the Konoha squad, Hidan asked who the shinobi were while appearing as though he did not even notice that he had been stabbed in the chest by two huge kunai knives. They were shocked to learn that Hidan was immortal and cannot be killed in the conventional sense. After Kakuzu made his way outside, he decided to follow Hidan's advice and remain on the sidelines. Hidan was cautioned by Kakuzu not to let Asuma leave because he had a hefty bounty on his head as well.

Soon, Hidan managed to acquire some of Asuma’s blood for his ritual and initiated his curse technique. As Hidan activated his curse technique and stepped inside the Jashin marking on the ground, Asuma attacked him with his Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning. To their surprise, Asuma was the one who got burned by his own attack, which was later revealed to be the outcome of Hidan’s technique.

Shikamaru attempted to keep Hidan immobilized once more as Hidan was about to kill Asuma but struggled to do so after becoming aware of what was happening. Shikamaru analyzed everything Hidan had said and done up to that point while Hidan was momentarily restrained, eventually uncovering the flaw in Hidan's technique. Asuma was momentarily released from Hidan's curse after Shikamaru forced Hidan out of his symbol.

After getting caught up in what was going on, Asuma first confirmed that he was released from Hidan’s curse by cutting his ear and then beheading him. To everyone’s surprise, even though he was immobilized and his head was separated from his body, Hidan was still capable of speaking and communicating. Then, Kakuzu stepped in and sewed Hidan’s head back to his body.

Hidan re-entered his symbol and attacked Asuma with his scythe which Asuma successfully dodged but the scythe ended up burying itself in Hidan’s vital organs, which destroyed Asuma’s vital organs in return. Hidan then got stabbed through the heart, which destroyed Asuma’s heart. Shikamaru rushed to Asuma but collapsed from exhaustion when reinforcements came to back them up. Hidan wanted to kill them all and enjoy the ecstasy he felt in pain but had to retreat due to orders from Pain, leader of the Akatsuki. Hidan and Kakuzu headed to a remote location and spent three days sealing the Two-Tails.

After the sealing is finished, Hidan and Kakuzu start looking for Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Team Asuma, which consisted of Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akamichi along with Kakashi Hatake for the time being, confronted them to avenge Asuma's demise. Although Kakuzu managed to evade Shikamaru’s attack, Hidan was caught by surprise and was forced to fight Kakuzu under Shikamaru’s control. Kakashi Hatake thought he had killed Kakuzu, so he went to assassinate Hidan as well. However, he was caught off guard by Kakuzu's attack who was alive and kicking.

Hidan charged at Kakashi while Kakuzu unleashed a barrage of attacks on them. Hidan was released from Shikamaru's shadow due to its intrinsic time restriction. Shikamaru offered to draw Hidan away after realizing that the two-man Akatsuki squad needed to be divided because they were too powerful together.

After being caught by Shikamaru's technique so many times, Hidan was determined not to fall victim to it again and avoided the shadows. Hidan didn't notice Shikamaru when he suddenly appeared nearby and punched him in the face to knock him out while he was paying attention to the shadow attacks. Hidan blocked the punch, which caused their shadows to connect and Hidan to be caught in Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Jutsu once again.

Shikamaru then led Hidan to a nearby forest and separated him from Kakazu. As soon as Shikamaru’s jutsu wore off, Hidan attacked him and acquired some of his blood. Hidan then proceeded to stab himself in the heart to kill Shikamaru. Then, Shikamaru attacked him from behind, trying to sever his head but the cut was too shallow. To his surprise, Shikamaru was safe and sound. He then revealed that the blood Hidan used for his ritual in fact belonged to Kakuzu, which destroyed one of Kakuzu’s hearts on the battlefield.

Shikamaru then restrained Hidan with his shadow and trapped him with explosive tags and wire that he had prepared in advance. Shikamaru then caused a ditch to appear beneath Hidan and revealed that the Nara Clan Forest that they were in now belonged to the Nara Clan and he set up a trap for him in advance. He then claims that his clan shares a deep bond with the deer residing in the forest and they will ensure that Hidan is trapped here for eternity. Shikamaru then lit Asuma’s lighter, appeared to be lighting Asuma’s cigarette and threw the lighter at Hidan, causing the tags to explode. Hidan had been blown to pieces. Hidan's separated head vowed to kill Shikamaru in any way possible as his body plunged into the hole below. Hidan was crushed under the debris as Shikamaru triggered the pit to collapse.

After this incident, he hasn’t appeared since and we haven’t received any updates confirming his demise, so technically, he is still alive. It is also possible that he died due to malnutrition but it is not confirmed yet.

Hidan is one of the newest and most foul-mouthed members of Akatsuki.  He is a missing nin from a village who worships an evil god named Jashin, but which country and what the name of his village is yet unknown.  Hidan’s partner is Kakuzu, and although the two share similar “immortality” abilities, their personalities are very different.  Because of their respective unique abilities, Hidan and Kakuzu are sometimes referred to as the “Zombie Brothers” by other members of Akatsuki.     It is not known if Hidan’s unique abilities are directly related to his religion or not, but Hidan is firm to believe so and devotes much of his time praising Jashin and conducting meditation.  One of his more unusual rituals is to stab himself with his weapon and lie motionless within a triangle-circle design on the ground.
