Is Hidan still alive?


From what I recall, Hidan's head was buried deep inside a hole in the Konoha
Forbidden Jungle.

Does it mean that Hidan is still alive after all this year? Is it possible for
someone to rescue him and bring him back if he is still alive?




According to the [Wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hidan)

> Though believed dead by Akatsuki, Hidan is in fact alive but is dying slowly
> from a lack of nutrition.
>
> When Kakuzu was reincarnated during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he took
> Hidan's absence as proof that he was still alive.




Although it's mostly based on speculation and it isn't really mentioned in the
series that that he is definitely alive, when Kakuzu was reincarnated during
the Fourth Shinobi World War, [he took Hidan's absence as proof that he was
still
alive](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hidan#Fourth_Shinobi_World_War:_Confrontation)
(Chapter 530, page 3).
