History
The Kihane Clan was the founding clan and most powerful clan in the Land of Rivers, known for their mastery of Water Release techniques. The clan was also considered great botanists due to their study of plantlife and extensive journals on the subject. After a peace treaty with the Land of Fire, a few of the best minds of the Kihane clan, including a toddler Hanaba Kihane, was sent to Konoha to participate in a great study of wildlife. After they were done with their job, the Kihane in Konoha decided to stay and live there, impressed in the land. Up to this day, there are 80 Kihane clan members living in the village and over 200 in the Land of Rivers.
