The Demon of The Hidden Mist versus the Immortal Jashinist.
I think this will go to Zabuza with Hidden Mist + silent killing. Or will Hidan be able to get his ritual off?

it's pretty obvious that Kakuzu is vastly superior to Hidan, but I see your point.
first off zabuza would you his hidden mist justu and cut off any chance of hidan finding him. Hidan doesnt think when he fights he just goes in without thinking witch would lead to his getiting something cut off to where he can't fight and if he can't see, hear or smell zabuza has the biggest advantage. another thing is haku and kakazu in the fight or is it one on one?

@namikazenaruto9 the hounds were used at the end of the fight because of Kakashi's need to quickly get to naruto after he unknowingly unleashed Kurama's chakra for the first time.
All silent killing is is moving quietly and striking the enemy, I mean he and Kakuzu knew that they were being followed despite the team being a good distance away and moving quietly for an ambush. Kakuzu didn't need to tell him, he already knew. Zabuza wouldn't kill him by his hearing, he just knows their location and can strike by that information. Plus he wouldn't need to just use his hearing, not like Hidan has a sharingan.
Like @Namikazenaruto9 says, Hidan is a loud mouth. He's gonna get super pissed and frustrated when Zabuza uses his Hidden Mist technique. You can entirely expect a restless, foulmouthed asshole like Hidan to jump up and down and shout and taunt Zabuza with shit like, "Where the fuck are you hiding you coward? Come and taste the might of Jashin-sama!! Hyaaaaaaarrrgghhhhhh!!!!"
And then he gets chopped by Zabuza. Could be his head; could be his limbs; or he could be chopped from the waist-down. Either way, he's gonna get chopped, very easily. And there won't be Kakuzu or any other S-Class sewing machines to stitch Hidan back. Zabuza is sharp when it comes to analyzing his enemies. He had the sharingan figured out after being exposed to it only once, and he then used the sharingan's weakness against Kakashi very effectively. Hidan, on the other hand, has proven himself as the dumbest villain in the entire manga.
So Zabuza has the ultimate advantage here. He's not dealing with the Sharingan. He's not dealing with Ninja Hounds. He's not dealing with an ancient demon with 5 hearts. He's not dealing with 6 OP reanimated corpses; or some vengeful Romeo with magic Hashi cells and OP Intangibility powers. Instead, he's dealing with a reckless dumbass with no specialty except immortality. It was Kakuzu's "Stitch the Dumbass Back into Shape No Jutsu" that made Hidan intimidating. Without Kakuzu, Hidan is easy treat for Zabuza.
Hush now BakumatsuWarrior, I'm playing devil's advocate.
(Funny and good points though, +1 Kudos)
edit: Seems I can't reply to people with a quote, odd...
LOL @BakumatsuWarrior and Iolaus94 . I give up
No, it's a one on one
I've already said why I think Hidan would win but as this debate goes on I've tried to fight for Zabuza. The only thing I could come up with which I haven't covered is when Zabuza (In his first fight with Team 7, camo gear) appears inside the triangle of Naru and the others and before he could swing a panel shows Kakashi's sharingan "looking/seeing" and intercepts his swing and this could be attributed to the Sharingan use. However, Zabuza spoke before the Sharingan panel twice. This is of course assuming sharingan still worked in the mist which was only considered to be null when Zabuza thickened the mist in their second encounter, although considered to most to be negated despite the density of the mist especially more into the series.
My whole issue with Zabuza is that Silent killing is not instant. He just says it is and evidence shows something completely different. Kakashi reacted to it and countered before Zabuza could swing Kubikiribocho. Hidan has shown to be excellent at close combat and shown great awareness like sensing shadows creeping up on him in his second bout with Shikamaru at the start and great reflexes and quick thinking like when he used his scythe as a platform to dodge Shikamarus chakra blade mid air. Zabuza hit Kakashi's clone which was a feint, kicked him into water and put him in a water prisoned. (3 hits technically 1)Kakashi dodged all of Zabuza's attacks with Kubikiribocho. Second encounter Kakashi hit three times once with KKB which Kakashi said was intentional and it wasn't a head swing and it didn't even hurt him it grazed him (Kakashi had enough chakra for shadow clones and to beat Zabuza with one hand). Furthermore, instead of finishing Kakashi, Zabuza runs back into the thick mist which he knows he can't maintain for long. Not saying Hidan isn't cocky but couple this with the fact that he gave info on how hes countering the Sharingan so Kakashi can find a way to stop him. I don't man, seems pretty dumb and cocky to me. The other two hits in the second encounter came from a contact block in thickened mist which again didn't even scratch him and the last was Zabuza's first strike when Kakashi was revealing his Sharingan and he put his hand through the knife to block it which was also said to be intentional. (3 hits technically 0)
I think most people just want to give Zabuza credit because by some random standards he deserves better, literally the only reason. Zabuza is a character introduced at the very start of the series. It does matter that Hidan was fighting with a Part 2 squad and Zabuza a Part 1 squad.
PS:Another point for Zabuza is that Hidan takes time to draw his diagram but when he draws it when hes alone in the forest with Shikamaru its pretty quick. I think in the anime its as quick as Kakuzus Fire and Wind masks fusing together.
PPS:Just realised how much I boasted Kakashi in this lol. He's so weak XD truly a copying monkey.
