Takigakure

This chapter will showcase the features of the entire Land of the Waterfall as seen in the anime and manga. There will be images of various locations as well as the jutsus specific to this country.

[Takigakure]

Takigakure (滝隠れの里, Takigakure no Sato, literally means "Village Hidden in the Waterfall") is located in the Land of Waterfall. Its ninjas seem to specialize in Water Release techniques. [image]

Its symbol: two lines forming a shape similar to an arrow pointing downward, emulating a waterfall. [image]

Entrance to Takigakure: The entrance to the village is a series of underground tunnels that extend from the base of the waterfall to the bottom of the village's lake. This entrance is, in turn, concealed behind the waterfall. [image]

Temple of the Heroic Water: This is where Takigakure's greatest treasure, the Heroic Water, is located. This treasure allows a ninja to increase their chakra level tenfold, but only for a short period. In exchange for this power, the water shortens the user's lifespan, and if used too many times, it becomes deadly. [image]

The Village Chief's Residence: The village chief resides in a small wooden cabin built near some trees, which has a sign with the kanji for Taki (滝, Taki, literally meaning: Waterfall) above the entrance. The interior appears quite Spartan, lacking much space or necessary furniture, such as a table or chairs, with the village leader sitting on a raised platform on the floor. [image]

[Techniques]

Techniques shown by a ninja from Tokigakure that I was researching while working on chapter 3.

The Takigakure Style: Water Cutting Blade (滝隠れ流・水斬りの刃 Takigakure Ryu: Mizukiri no Yaiba) is a secret jutsu from Takigakure that utilizes water to create a sword. The sword can be wielded in a standard fashion, allowing the ninja to cut and stab like a regular sword. This blade can also pierce through most fire-based jutsus.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall (水遁・水陣壁, Suiton: Suijinheki) is a Water Nature technique used for defense.

Jiongu (地怨虞, Jiongu) is a Forbidden Jutsu from Takigakure, where the user of the technique transforms into a kind of ragdoll, as the person is bound and formed by a large number of long, thin black threads.

Water Release: Water Shuriken (水遁・水手裏剣, Suiton: Mizu Shuriken) involves Kegon creating a large number of shurikens using water and swiftly throwing them at the opponent.

The Jutsu: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique (手裏剣影分身の術, Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) is a technique developed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Its conceptualization and efficiency undoubtedly make it exclusive to the 'Professor

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (火遁・豪火球の術, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu) is a Fire Release jutsu primarily performed by the Uchiha Clan.

Fire Release: Red Spider Lilies (火遁・紅地蜘蛛 Katon: Benijigumo) is a technique where the user releases a large amount of fire to surround the surrounding area with the goal of trapping victims. Once the barrier is created, the user transforms into a fire spider and attacks the prey directly.

Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind (火遁・火炎旋風, Katon: Kaen Senpū) is a jutsu in which the user is surrounded by a kind of fire cloud that begins to spiral outward, incinerating everything in its vicinity, including enemies.

Telepathic Wave Frequency is a jutsu where the user creates a stream that emits waves similar to sound, allowing them to communicate mentally with their allies

The Secret Technique: Hidden Scale Powder (秘伝・鱗粉隠れの術, Hiden: Rinpungakure no Jutsu) is a technique in which the user expels a large amount of fine powder from their mouth that emits numerous flashes. Being so bright, it can temporarily blind multiple enemies at once. This momentary opportunity can be seized by both the user and their allies to attack the opponent or escape while their vision is still impaired. However, the technique can be effectively countered if the opponent has protected eyes or sensory capabilities to compensate for the loss of vision.

Water Release: Lotus Light Rupture :The user creates drops of water from an outside source, which are then shaped into razor-sharp lotus petals. As the petals expand in size and spin around, emitting explosive energy in every direction, they are launched at the opponent. The petals can be controlled and are able to kill a man with a single petal. Hisen noted it to be his strongest technique
