Takigakure

is located in an unnamed country. In terms of the village's appearance, Takigakure seems to be based on mostly Southeast Asian aesthetics.

History
Takigakure is lead by Shibuki, who seems too much of a coward for the job at first. The host of the seven-tailed beast, the Human path of Pain and Kakuzu of Akatsuki all hailed from this village, prior to his defection due to the harsh and unfair punishment for his failure to assassinate the First Hokage. They since appear to have entered an alliance with Konoha, as there were six genin participants (twelve in the anime) from Takigakure in the first part of the Chunin exam, none of whom made it to the third stage of the examination. Little apart from that is known about it at this point.

Despite being surrounded by four other countries, Takigakure has never been successfully invaded. A feat they are very proud of.

Techniques used in the Village

 * The ninja of this village seem to specialize in water-based jutsu.
 * The village leader processed a type of water called the Hero Water, which was extracted from a rather old tree. It gives the user ten times their ordinary chakra level; however, the strain of its use can prove fatal, similar to steroids. Also this water can only be obtained every 10 years
 * This village's most prized forbidden technique is the Earth Grudge Fear, which was taken by Kakuzu at his rebellion, along with the hearts of every elder of the village.

Trivia

 * The country Takigakure resides in is currently unknown, but similar to Amegakure, the country has been called by fans.


 * Despite being a seemingly small village, Takigakure had in their possesion the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki
