#hidan gaiden
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.

Sketch ANBU!Hidan. I haven’t drawn on this topic for a long time…
More ANBUverse! Team Ro.
As you may have guessed, the relationship between Shikamaru and Hidan was strained. Since Shikamaru did not find support in his protest against the mobilization of the criminal, in peacetime he opposed restricting Hidan’s freedom of movement. The Sixth Hokage accepted this idea, and for one year Hidan received a ban on leaving Konoha, and at the same time a squad of guards.
Due to the cautious attitude towards him, Hidan did not receive tasks as a Konoha’s ninja for a long time. Despite his position as a jounin, he lived on the outskirts in poverty and often received refusals from employees of shops or cafes who did not want to serve the former criminal. Even the houses of the red quarter often didn’t want him as a guest.
Anyway, Hidan treated everything indifferently, didn’t resent and did not file complaints, did his lil work well and soon, when Naruto took office as Hokage, he was able to receive more tasks and prove himself an excellent Shinobi of the old generation.
