Clan Description:Hatake Clan is a Clan of Ninja who have been through many intense battles with powerful Kekei Genkai users and Secret Society clans prior to the establishment of Konohagakure. Among them the Uchiha, Yamanaka, Senju, Hyuuga, Aburame, Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi. They are rumored to have family ties with the Inuzuka Clan and currently are the main breeders of what is known as Nin-Ken (Ninja Hounds/Dogs).
Over time this has led the clan to develop techniques based on their opponents to counter their special abilities, this has led to an evolution-like working of the Hatake Genes resulting in them becoming the number one weapon against many various types of Kekei Genkai such as Eye Techniques and Ranged abilities.
They are well known for always pushing their opponents to the very limit of their ability. Accurate as a Hawk, Fast as a Cheetah, Cunning as a Fox and Deadly as a Bolt of Lightning. The Hatake Clan is respected and even feared by many. Their primary power lies withing a special form of contract with the Nin-Dogs. These dogs serve as their companions from birth to death.
This Clan was forged a long time ago but for many years members of this Clan remained distant from one another, the family tree seemed to spread out and hold little if any connections to others, not long ago it even seemed like the Hatake Clan was going to be a band of lone wolfs and lose their status as a Clan.
But one man stood up and organized these lone wolves into a well structured pack, Hatake Sakumo.
It was this very man that is seen as the founder of the Hatake Clan even though he is not the one who the bloodline originates from he was the one to unite those with the Shiroi Chakra into a Clan. His ideals were those of companionship, teamwork and care, he saw his comrades as more important than any mission and especially so his clansmen explaining this with the following quote;
" Even though a single wolf can easily survive on it's own, two wolves together are not twice but four times as strong together as when they are alone. That is why wolves form packs. Imagine how much stronger we shall be if we will be many, instead of one, just like the wolves. Just like this Village." This was his most known phrase that led him to become the leader of the Clan in his younger days. Later Hatake Sakumo sacrificed a mission for the safety of his companions and his ideals betrayed him as it led to an expansion of an already large war.
Not being able to take the shame Sakumo took his own life. When his son Kakashi became 18 he inherited the position of Clan Leader and told everyone that despite what was said, he still considers his father a hero, because despite all pressure he stood his ground, suffered and died for the ideals of the Hatake Clan.
Kakashi got a very positive response to these words from the Clan and due to the political pressure the members of the Clan put on the Village Council Hatake Sakumo was no longer considered a traitor but was given the status of a fallen hero of the Leaf Village.
Still due to their long-time abandonment of the Clan status the Hatake Clan is among one of the smallest Clan's in Konohagakure and slowly growing, yet they still have the status of being the best option for Hunter-nin.
