The Nakahara clan (中原 一族, Nakahara Ichizoku) was a high-status family settling outside of Kirigakure that has dissolved after the constant persecution of Kekkei Genkai users in the area. The clan was known for several legends surrounding Shigematsu's Claw. The clan had a long story of tradition of women, although not disrespected, to be kept out of warfare and taught the house holding and being a good wife instead.
