When Hidan was 10, he knew what life was all about.

 

Religion.

 

He was sure that dedicating your entire life to such a noble goal was more than worth it. Nothing could top the feeling of the blissful aftermath of a serious prayer. And it was true that confession kept your soul pure and divine.

 

So naturally, Hidan wanted to join the `Order of Illuminati'.

 

Oh, how divine that group was! They were the epitome of How Things Should Be: their dedication was unheard of. Their goal was to conquer all the countries, one by one, and ultimately the entire world. They were said to have achieved a greater understanding of the universe than the vast majority of the ignorant masses of the world. Their secret hideout was said to be astounding.

 

Hidan didn't mind that you could only find their hideout in old Italy by following the Path of Illumination. He knew he was supposed to visit a bunch of churches, and statues would point him into the direction of the secret hideout. All new members had to find their way to the secret hideout; it was a test to see who was worth being part of the group.

 

It shouldn't really be all that hard, Hidan thought. Italy only had a few hundred churches, and Hidan liked challenges.

 

And sure, the fact that he was immortal gave him more than enough time to search for the secret hideout.

 

And there was the thirst for blood too.

 

Illumination was known to be bloodthirsty. But Hidan didn't mind this either, because he confessed on a regular basis, and confession was invented for bloodthirsty acts, he was sure of it.

 

And so Hidan went to Italy.

Hidan arrived, and then spent the next 20 years looking for the secret hideout.

 

When he finally found it, he also found out that the Order of Illuminati had already been gone for over 200 years.

 

Fuck.

 

So naturally, Hidan joined the first religious group he stumbled upon. The group consisted of people who called themselves `Jashinists'. Hidan never heard of them before, but they were bloodthirsty, and they also believed in the whole `we have a greater understanding of the universe than others'.

 

So Hidan joined.

 

Because their secret hideout was easier to find.
