Hanare is a kunoichi from the Jomae Village. She was an orphan who longed to see her parents and find a home she could call her own.
As a young child, Hanare was said to be very lonely since she never knew her family or seen her own village. She was trained from an early age in the art of espionage. One day, she was found crying in a place near her village by the young Kakashi, who spotted her and carried her on his back. He then explained to her that she can look up to the clouds above and find her way. They both then were seen by a ninja from Hanare's village and Kakashi put her down on her feet, said goodbye and left. She was then excited that someone like Kakashi was able to help her in her life.
Hanare's abilities allow her to read someone's mind by using her right eye to literally look into it. She is even able to use this ability on those who are looking at her thoughts. She can also erase all of her thoughts that she had gathered. To use this technique, she weaves signs by moving her eye in specific patterns. Hanare's special technique can help her in collecting and gathering information in various things. She has also been trained to have an immensely strong will, unyielding to seemingly any form of torture, even by the likes of Ibiki Morino, a master manipulator of the human psyche.
