Hidan scowled as he walked through his neighbourhood.
People were walking around, all smiles and cheerful as they shopped or made their way back home. They acted as if Yugakure had been a peaceful village for a long time, pretending to be ignorant to the fact that just four years ago they were a hidden village.
It was all the daimyo of the Land of Hot Water's fault for turning the village into a touristing spot. A village once led by ninjas, was now led by mindless civilians. No one took Yugakure's ninjas seriously anymore, and why should they? In Yugakure they might as well call ninjas errand boys/girls instead of shinobi.
It practically made Hidan's blood boil in anger.
Unlike everyone else around him he loved killing. He loved slaughtering people. He loved the taste of metalic blood on his tongue. He relished in carnage. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that killing others was a joy for him. It was like playing with toys. He knew people would describe him as a 'madman' because of his love for destruction and his violent tendencies.
Not only did he love killing others, but he also enjoyed seeing the expression of pain on their faces, their screams of pain, and watching them pathetically try to survive. It practically turned him on. He was a sadist at heart after he was a masochist as well. He enjoyed being hurt as well.
Basically he was fucked up and proud of it.
'If she doesn't have what I asked for, I will fucking kill her myself along with everyone else in this pathetic neighbourhood.' He thought to himself coming to a stop in front of one of the many houses in the neighbourhood.
He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A high-pitched voice asked.
"Open the fucking door." He ordered.
"Hidan?"
The door went open to reveal a petite little girl, roughly around the age of five. She had pink hair (Fucking weird) and green eyes. She was wearing a simple light pink kimono.
Hidan walked in without saying anything. He heard the door close behind him.
"I told you a thousand times, don't swear."
"Shut the fuck up. I can do whatever the fuck I fucking want Sakura." Hidan scowled at the girl who crossed her arms.
She scowled back at him. "I swear, one day I'll kill you myself."
Hidan smirked knowing it wasn't true. Just like him, Sakura was fucked up in the head. She also enjoyed seeing others suffer, and in turn enjoyed it when others made her suffer. Unlike him, she liked pretending to be normal.
"I fucking dare you."
"I said stop swearing, you piece of shit!" Sakura shot back before cursing loudly. "See what you made me do?!" She groaned.
"I don't give a fuck." Hidan said in amusement flicking Sakura's forehead. "You have a fucking big forehead, you know? It's so fucking big."
Sakura flushed.
Hidan knew that anyone else would think that it was because she felt embarrassed, but he knew the truth. She was enjoying his verbal abuse.
"And your hair," He continued knowing that Sakura was more reasonable when she had her fair share of verbal abuse. "It's so fucking weird. You're probably a bastard child, ain't you? You don't look like your parents at all. In fact you look fucking dumb. And those eyes of yours, they look like green shit."
Sakura bit her lips. Hidan knew he was almost there, just a little more push.
"I bet no one gives a fuck about you, do they? You're a fucking weirdo after all. Who enjoys people talking them down anyways?" Hidan was a masochist himself, but he didn't enjoy verbal abuse, he prefered the physical kind.
Sakura smiled.
"Now, where the hell is those things I asked you for?" Hidan asked.
Sakura looked at him for a moment before leading him to her room. On top of her bed lay a few books.
"Those were all the books I could find regarding that deity you're interested in." Sakura informed.
Hidan nodded approaching her bed. Indeed all the books had something to do with Jashin, Jashinism, and temples dedicated to Jashin.
"What do you think?" Hidan asked knowing that Sakura had probably read the books already.
"It's an interesting concept. I mean, Jashinism tells you to go sacrifice people to Jashin, and Jashin will grant you immortality. But, Jashin only grants immortality if you're really faithful. Basically it's a religion meant for messed up people like you."
"And you too." Hidan smirked pocketing the books in his bag.
"Not staying?" Sakura enquired the whole village Hidan was the only friend she had, and it was Hidan's fault that she was they way she was.
"Your parents don't exactly want to fuck me." Hidan joked.
"So? You're not the type to care about other people."
Hidan glanced at her. "I guess not." He relented taking a seat on Sakura's bed.
"Great! I'll go get you some food!" Sakura chirped.
.o0o.o0o.
"My parents are stupid."
"I fucking told you so."
A now six year old Sakura pouted. "They don't want me to become a ninja."
"They're civvies, what the fuck did you expect?" Hidan indifferently said as Sakura threw a blunted kunai at a target. It hit right in the bullseye.
Hidan was considered a prodigy despite his violent tendencies. He recognized Sakura as a fellow prodigy too. To him, Sakura was a natural in the art of killing people, and could become a strong shinobi one day.
"I expected them to support me." Sakura grumbled throwing four kunai. Two were slightly off, but the other two still hit the bullseye. "But no! They want me to continue the Haruno business."
"I can kill them if you want. They can be my fucking first to Jashin-sama."
"No, you are not sacrificing my parents to that god of yours." Sakura scowled at him. "And why are you here anyways?" She asked.
"I wanted to show you something."
"What?"
"This fucking beauty." Hidan grinned unsealing a scroll.
There was a cloud of smoke before a three-bladed sycthe appeared.
"Oh my, it's…wow….can I touch it?" Sakura asked forgetting all about her worries.
.o0o.o0o.
"You know, you'd make a good follower. Jashin-sama needs more followers." Hidan idly commented as Sakura went through some Taijutsu moves he taught her.
"Eh?"
He could feel Sakura's dubious look.
"Hmm, if you join, maybe one day we can fucking go around murdering people for no reason."
"Hidan, I don't know if you noticed or not, but I have some morals."
"Fuck morals."
"Though I'm flattered at the compliment."
"It wasn't a fucking compliment." Hidan grumbled.
"Though why the sudden comment? You didn't mind me just being your assistant before. What changed?"
Hidan paused.
What changed indeed?
He didn't just thought Sakura should serve Jashin too. Then Sakura and him can become immortal. They can rule the world if they wanted to. Jashin would accept them despite how fucked up they were.
"Forget it, you don't have to answer me."
"I meant what I fucking said though."
Sakura smiled.
.o0o.o0o.
Sakura looked around her.
Dead bodies littered the streets and her neighbourhood was dyed in blood.
Everyone she knew was dead. Her parents, the old ladies who gave her candy, the librarian, the stray dog who she would often feed….everyone.
She screamed in horror.
.o0o.o0o.
Hidan slung his weapon over his shoulder as he continued walking. His uniform was dyed red, and there was a scratch on his headband.
From this day on he would serve Jashin-sama, and only Jashin-sama.
No one else mattered.
(Except that little girl he left alive.)
.o0o.o0o.
The pain of losing everyone was unbearable, Sakura decided. Yet she enjoyed it. The pain numbed everything else and made her stomach ache with pleasure. Her eyes landed on a symbol she's read in various book.
"So this is Jashinism."
"It's beautiful…" She whispered taking in the scene of a massacre with a new perspective.
That day Sakura realized that the world was messed up. But it would be a crime for her not to enjoy it, right?
It wouldn't be until two days later that a team of Konoha-nin would happen to find her scaveging off of corpses.
.o0o.o0o.
