When I first saw the weird looking Akatsuki member, I thought it was Kisame at first. Obviously upon closer inspection it isn't him. Hidan is an interesting character. One of them religious nut bags that think killing will please their gods, lol. Suits him though.

I too is wondering how they beat her. Obviously it wasn't an easy fight as Hidan is bleeding from the mouth a lil. Seem his partner "might" have some super strength, we see him blocking the attack from the girl whilst in Demon mode. Then we have the slowest attacking member of the Akatsuki. He has to have something super good to make up for his lack of speed. Maybe he's a genjutsu master.

I would love to see a twist in the story lime about the Fire Country's Demon. I hope they ain't referring to Naruto. Strangely enough I wanna see Itachi in action.
