Hatake Clan

The Hatake Clan is a famous clan from the Land of Fire claiming ancestry from Joten Hatake, the founding father of Konohagakure and the Thunder Wolf Alliance that preceded it. Much like their common ancestor, the Hatake are known for their resourcefulness. An admirable trait that has earned them much of their political sway within the Land of Fire. Individually they do not possess any powerful Kekkei Genkai or Hiden that make them innately remarkable as warriors. Instead, they make up for this with their talents in Ninjutsu, and in some cases, Kenjutsu.
==History==
Before Joten came to power as the 12th clan head of the Hatake, the Hatake were a relatively minor family that resided over the small village of Kizaga. A small village that resided within the Kitasu Region. They were a clan of meager military and economic power. They presided over few vassals, and many of the outlying villages within their domain were but small hamlets. This state of power remained largely unchanged throughout the centuries until Joten came to power.
His rise to power was during the worst and final years of the Mosen Jidai, a terrible era marked by constant warring within the Land of Fire. His unusual sense of kindness in a war-torn country further accentuated by his merciful but tactically brilliant thinking helped mend many of the wounds the Land of Fire suffered during this time. In his efforts to bring peace to his home country, other clans of varying sorts began to rally before his banners. In time, the alliances he made with these clans came to be known as the Thunder Wolf Alliance.
As the Thunder Wolf Alliance grew, so did the power of the Hatake and their lands. In a chance opportunity, following the destruction of the former Daimyō's village, the current Fire King elected Joten as the next Daimyō of the region. Following this, Kizaga received a great boon within its population.
Following this, the Thunder Wolf Alliance was made into the Land of Fire's official shinobi army and Kizaga became Konohagakure, the first hidden village. Eventually, Joten was elevated beyond the status of a regular Daimyō and became known as the Hokage.
Joten died protecting his clan and village during the First Shinobi World War. His brother, Kumade, was nominated for the position of Second Hokage. A position which he declined, never wanting to follow in the footsteps of his older brother. He did, however, accept a position within the Ōken, a sacred sect of royal guards that are only loyal to the Fire King. There, he founded a cadet branch of the Hatake Clan that continues to serve the Fire King to this day.
