Team Hawk, formerly Team Snake was formed by Sasuke Uchiha for originally one purpose; to find and kill Itachi Uchiha.

After Sasuke defeated Orochimaru, he began to free captives held by Orochimaru. Among them were Mist Seven Swordsmen trainee Suigetsu, a kunoichi guard named Karin who was infatuated with Sasuke and the original source of Orochimaru's cursed seal power, Jugo. After gathering the group together, Sasuke revealed he planned to kill his brother Itachi. He then dubbed the group with their "Snake" name.

However, after Sasuke's battle with Itachi and his subsequent talk with Madara Uchiha about the "truth" of his village, Sasuke renamed Team Snake, to Hawk with a new single purpose, to destroy Konohagakure, although he only plans to kill the elders. They are now working together with Akatsuki for that reason. Working with Akatsuki, Team Hawk was ordered to capture the Eight Tails, while Akatsuki deals with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and his Jinchuriki; Naruto Uzumaki
