Hebi, Taka, originally Hebi, is the team Sasuke Uchiha created, with the original goal of helping him locate Itachi, and prevent anyone from interrupting his battle. After betraying Orochimaru, Sasuke traveled to various Otogakure bases to recruit his three team-mates, Suigetsu Hōzuki, Karin, and Jūgo. After witnessing Itachi's death, and learning Konoha's role in the Uchiha Clan Massacre by Madara Uchiha, Sasuke renamed the team ""Taka"" with the new goal to crush Konoha.
Although their team was originally one of necessity, they came to consider each other team-mates and risked their lives to protect each other as time went on, reminding Sasuke of Team 7. However, as Sasuke became more corrupt and focused in his revenge against Konoha, he abandoned Jūgo and Suigetsu in the Land of Iron to pursue Danzō, and, when Karin became a burden to him, he critically wounded her with the intent to kill her, effectively disbanding Taka.
