Takigakure Status

Takigakure (滝隠れの里, Takigakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in a Waterfall") is a village located in an unnamed country. In terms of the village's appearance, Takigakure seems to be based on mostly Southeast Asian aesthetics. Their current leader is Ace Akau. The ninja of this village seem to specialize in water-based jutsu.

History:
Around the time of the village's formation, the village tasked Kakuzu with assassinating Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage. When Kakuzu failed in this mission he was treated harshly and imprisoned, so he chose to defect. Before leaving he took the secret of the village's prized Earth Grudge Fear along with the hearts of every elder of the village. At some point, the village came into possession of the Seven-Tailed Horned Beetle, making it the only known village outside of the five great villages to hold a tailed beast. This tailed beast was sealed into Fū, but was eventually caught and extracted by Akatsuki, resulting in Fū's death.

Takigakure has yet to be seen in the manga, but in the anime it is shown to be built around a large tree. It also, predictably, has a waterfall as a defining landmark. The village is led by Shibuki. Despite being surrounded by four other countries, Takigakure has never been successfully invaded, a feat they are very proud of. The village is renowned for being able to produce Hero Water every hundred years, which gives whoever drinks it ten times their ordinary chakra level; however, the strain of its use can prove fatal.

After Madara Uchiha declared the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, Kabuto Yakushi, merged with Orochimaru's remains, killed three Takigakure ninjas to test out his new control.
