The Nkiva Clan (ンキヴァ一族, Nkiva Ichizoku; literally meaning "Nkiva Family") is one of the major clans in Iwagakure, also considered to be one of the most powerful and influential in terms of politics. The clan, when it was formed, was considerably minor compared to the likes of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan of Konohagakure, but it managed to gain power by becoming involved heavily in the Third Great Shinobi World War. Its current members are Yujin Nkiva and Meri Nkiva. They possess the Steel Release Kekkei Genkai.
