You guys all remember the good old days when Naruto had a consistent villain character? I do. That villain character was Orochimaru. You know the guy who wanted to gain immortality and all the jutsu in the world?

Well….here’s my theory: Hidan. Jashinism. Everything….was supposed to be the original plot device this whole time.

It all makes sense now. Hidan being the one and true immortal of the series was supposed to have a bigger involvement in the series. Jashinism was going to be a big thing….why do I know this???

BECAUSE OF THE BLATANT PLOT HOLES AND UNNECESSARY PLOT DIRECTION.

You see, the akatsuki had so much going for them, they had connections, they had power and at one point had some street cred….but where did it go? It went in the trash with the rest of the potential information we could have gotten if SHONEN JUMP DONE FUCKED EVERYTHING UP WITH SASUKE AND SHIPS.

We literally we going to get some serious info on kakuzu and Hidan….but no. That was scrapped for sasuke’s effect on the plot. Which clearly stated that even in a perfect world where nothing went wrong….he’s still be an ass-hat. A selfish, power hunger ass-hat. Naruto unfortunately had his development all based on if he was going to complete his goal into getting sasuke back. Literally. SJ and SP all drove the plot with sasuke being the figurehead. As for everything else, went down the hole because according to SJ, nobody (and when I mean by nobody cares I mean the corporate heads of SJ and SP) cared.

So how does Hidan fit into all of this? Well, you remember when I mentioned that Orochimaru wanted immortality? And lookie, so did Madara. Both primary villains of the show wanting to live longer. But they for some reason wanted to take power from what clearly was people who were just OP as hell. Yet, Hidan, who clearly won’t die. Who you can cut his head off and he will still judge your taste in porn….won’t die. So, if such a power existed yet Orochimaru (let me remind you he found DNA samples our every powerful shinobi and their mom in exactly every location of every part of the ninja world to create what logically should have been an indestructible army of zombies.) could find Hidan prior to any of this? I CALL BULLSHIT.

Since Hidan and kakuzu’s reception wasn’t well revived (by Shonen jump) their time was cut short, this left us with a movie quality back story that kakuzu offers and the eternal mystery that is Hidan, without answering any fucking questions. So we literally know nothing about anything and at the same time lost a perfect plot piece to the story.

Hidan literally became from a mysterious god whom we don’t even know if it’s just some con artist or a legit entity who gives people powers by performing ungodly tasks such as tortuous amounts pain. For all we know, he might have been born with power and was manifested on accident or some ridiculous thing like that. All we know is Hidan is naturally a sadistic lovable asshole with the mental complexity of a poorly trained dog. That he came from a once violent village gone soft with tourism. This is a man who felt his culture as a ninja was taken from him. This guy was some how introduced to a cult with some seriously confusing purpose and it some how fits his (strangely specific) needs to kill and torture. Then there’s the possibility Orochimaru was going to need a new vessel….this is a man literally travels place to place looking for oddities and overly special shinobi, a person like Hidan would NEVER go under his radar.

Which comes to the conclusion; Kishimoto had a story all set up using Hidan as part of the main plot until those corporal assholes decided “Nah, doesn’t sound interesting enough. We need more sasuke and naruto doing stuff and something with more romantic drama”. Kishimoto most likely had to scrap what could have been….a BETTER ending to Naruto.

It makes sense! The lack of consistency, the plot holes, why the akatsuki all died out so fast and most importantly why Orochimaru was brushed off to the side until the last few chapters of the manga. Because he was no longer part of the plot’s importance. Of course Kishimoto could have written him more, but guess what? We got the Itachi vs Sasuke arc! ….which instead of ending Sasuke’s reason to continue being an asshole only fueled more of the story’s pointless and endless yapping about the Uchiha clan. Itachi died in vain and we ended up with a friend zoned moron who was the puppet of a puppet of a puppet. Kishimoto had to come up with this all under time constraints everyone.

Why? Cus the guy who was going to be a seriously important part of the part of the villain’s main plan for immortality would come into play if he wasn’t scrapped and left to die in a hole.

Kishimoto had also confirmed in an interview that Hidan was his favourite Akatsuki member 

There’s a lot of symbolism going on with Hidan that ties him to Orochimaru’s theme of immortality and Kakuzu fits with the original theme of the series (shinobi system, Service vs Being Used, village loyalty, etc). I too think that if Kishi would have been given freedom to write *his* story, both Hidan and Kakuzu would have played much bigger roles in the storyline

I would not have been surprised if Jashin would have turned out to be the endgame boss rather than Madara followed by Kaguya.
