AN: So..I typed thisup quickly on a third party app on a secondhand phone ...so yeah.. Sorry.

Hidan was pacing back and forth. Being nervous wasn't what he did...but how's you feel if your student was about to commit to a lifelong faith?

when she brought back the rabbits for their dinner he immediately got on her case.

"Did you offer the sacrifices to Lord Jashin?"

She nodded.

"Okay. .. Before you eat, you know what day it is?"

It took her a few minutes but then she realized. It was her 10th birthday.

"That's right, the day you fully commit to the faith...of your own accord. "

Sakura immediately got into student mode. Crosslegg and everything. Hidan began his final lesson (more of a test).

"Now tell me the four tenants and what they mean."

Sakura looked surprised before she cleared her throat and did as asked.

"1. Offer those killed as a sacrifice to Lord Jashin Death is a part of everyday life, as is violence. To feed one's family, a cow (or any livestock) must be killed, to protect one's homeland, countless deaths ensue, even to build one's house, a tree must fall and space be cleared. It is an inevitable cycle. To allow the injured to fall into a slow death is no better than the one who has shed the blood of many innocent infants. Instead of mourning over a death, offer the death to Lord Jashin as a way of thanks for the life that was lost. All life is to be respected equally. Life is a precious thing don't waste is away selfishly."

a nod was all she received.

"2. Do not be fooled for human made pleasures Selfish indulgences can lead to the harm of not only yourself, but others as life you may suffer the pains of temptation, do not give in to the temptations, the pleasures of self accomplishment are far more rewarding. Act not like the drunken fool, but the friend that assists in his time of need."

Another nod.

"3. The children born by those of the faith, shall be raised in the faith The seal thou has made with the Lord bears upon not only thyself, but also those that will come after ye."

Yet another nod ... now she was getting frustrated.

"4. Once you have joined the faith, the responsibility bears upon you for life The mark bears upon thy soul for existence. It cannot simply be washed away, or disappear as a bruise would. Thou is bound by the covenant which cannot be broken. Honor the covenant thou has made less consequences shall be foretold."

Hidan stopped pacing and closed the little notebook he had. The lookhw gave was serious.

"Good academic knowledge. .. Tell me what they mean to you. .. Personally. "

It took a while. She started and stopped several times. She finally got her bearings.

"Tenant 1: Death is just as precious as life. Life needs death just like death needs life. Death is a gift that helps the world work...just like life. They are equals and must be respected as such."

"tenant 2: To give into self indulgence is to cause pain to others. Don't waste pain. "

"Tenant 3: Those born into it shall be raised by it."

"Tenant 4: This faith requires commitment. No half measures. Either you're in or out. "

Hidan snapped the notebook shut and looked ecstatic. ..

"Excellent! Now it's time for you to commit to lord Jashin."

With that statement Sakura pulled out some paper and a Kunai.

"If you're absolute in your faith, draw the symbol in your blood...explain what each part means."

She did as told.

the horizontal line first.

"pain"

the downward line from the right next.

"death"

the leftside line to finish the triangle.

"life".

then the circle

"world."

Hidan nodded then pointed to the center.

"Now what do the spaces mean?'

She started as she began. The space above pain.

"Mind"

The space to the right.

"Body."

Then to the left.

"Soul."

then she pointed to the center.

"self."

The Grey haired man laughed aloud for a while... when he finally calmed down then he said something that would change the world.

"You've got it. Now burn the paper and accept the mark upon your soul."

Sakura nodded and did as told
