Just watched the episode again, he makes the seal right there out in the open.

So... he is a fan of hurting himself. Conditionally.

Okay, in the manga he didn't so much hold is own against Hidan, he literally didn't break a sweat. After being blasted and beaten up by Kakuzu's masks, Hidan goes to try and end Kakashi, and Kakashi answers him with just a Kunai, without even a scratch from Hidan on himself.

Zabuza was one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and their strongest generation too. He also killed over 100 trained students before he even started the academy. I know it wasn't explicitly stated, but Zabuza has earned his place in S-Class. Not only that, it seemed Kabuto only chose to revive the most powerful Shinobi, those who were S-class. So he's as powerful as them at least.

I realized Shikamaru planned well. My point is that he has no other jutsu that would have been useful. Otherwise, he would have used them. Besides, in versus debates we can only go off of what they show. Hidan showed nothing else. There's no real implication that he knows anything else.
