ANBU!Hidan headcanon isn’t new, but it’s voluminous and informative. It contains a lot of original ideas and cliché which some of you can be tired of, but they are in quite a widespread usage anyways. In this headcanon case, everything started cut and dry with war. When the threat of the fourth great ninja war became obvious and Shinobi Alliance was in the status of implementation, Hokage decided to summon all of the village’s military resources. When the question of troupes mobilization became acute, as well as the necessity to act swiftly to prevent a possible enemy attack on the country, it was decided to use as all the convicted in the Land of Fire territory criminals as war units.

Hidan was one of these criminals. Despite Shikamaru Nara’s great discontent, Hidan was dug out and given a choice: to fight alongside Konoha or to be buried once again. In Naruto Shippuden we couldn’t see Hidan’s loyalty to the Akatsuki, thus I decided it would be it out of his character to refuse or to be too prideful, so he accepted the offer to become Konoha’s ally.

By the end of the war in which Obito, Madara and Kaguya had been defeated, Hidan became a Shinobi in law and pledged allegiance to Konoha.

Everything wasn’t going smoothly, but let’s talk about that next time when I post another artwork.
