1) Which canon village are you applying for?

3) Who will be the Kage/Village Head of the village you are applying for/introducing? How did they reach this position? (Be detailed, as this is extremely important) Conquering the village also, inadvertently, means that you have dominion over the entire country; who will be the Daimyō of your country? How will they have attained this position? (If this is taken by a user who is collaborating with you, please ask them to answer this question on your behalf)
 * '''The Village Head of Tanigakure shall be known as Koryū. His acquisition of the position was through a custom that involved the ten strongest Shinobi of the village - besides the previous Village Head - being selected as "Candidates." These candidates undergo a strict examination procedure which results in their slow elimination. The first of these tests was an academic challenge. Koryū was able to masterfully finish this examination along with seven other candidates thanks to his earnest as a young Shinobi. The second test was one of combat ability, where the remaining eight candidates had been pitted against one another in duels. The victor of each of these duels would go onto the final stage. Koryū, in a difficult battle against one of his friends known as "Raizen", managed to overcome the man's archery through his own unique form of taijutsu that influenced water molecules in the air, snapping his arrows prior to them reaching Koryū. However, it was the final test that was the most difficult. A test of all the attributes necessary for a Village Head. There was a beast that had been infamous in recent years for causing terror among the Land of Rivers thanks to its enormous size and ability to hide within the several rivers constituting the land. Each of the four remaining candidates were challenged to defeating the beast. They had five days to do this. The other three candidates had instantly charged in to defeat the beast, their arrogance leading them to believe they could do so. However, they were all defeated after only a small amount of time. In the meantime, Koryū spent three whole days observing the motions of the beast within combat. He understood that when one attacked the beast, it used the waters to cover its location. Because of its large size, it was impossible to predict the nature of the water movement except for the last second. Furthermore, it was able to move large bodies of water at a given time, making even experienced Shinobi useless against the beast. However, Koryū's significant dabbling in martial arts and chakra control allowed him to fight against the beast. What surprised everyone was, on the fourth day, Koryū leaped into the terrain of the beast itself: the waters. He began on the offensive, but soon realized that his attempts were useless. Instead, he focused his chakra on manipulating the water itself. He used the weapon of the beast against it. After a long and arduous battle, Koryū managed to exhaust the beast. With only a small quantity of chakra left available for fighting, Koryū used a single, powerful strike to defeat the beast and vanquish the threat forevermore. The achievement of this feat lead to his promotion as the Village Head.'''


 * Due to the nature of Amegakure's ruling over the Land of Rivers, the actual Daimyō-figure of the country is, in fact, Izaya. Izaya attained this position due to his exploits across the world following his conquering over Amegakure, which in turn, caused him to attain the said position. That being said, Izaya has also placed another individual in charge of functioning the country without his supervision, that being an elder man by the name of Matamune. Matamune is a relative of the previous Daimyō of the country. He has engaged heavily with the Shinobi villages in his country in order to ensure that Izaya is satisfied by the service of the countries underneath him.

4) Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, what has your village gone through in order to recover from the damages? Include details on the changes in the political systems, deaths of certain key characters from the village in canon (if applicable) and the like. (This does not have to be a considerable amount of time. However, a brief overview of the historical information you have for your village gives the operators a sense that you have thoroughly contemplated the status of your village.)
 * '''Given Tanigakure's lack of involvement in the war, they had fewer damages than several villages. However, the most prominent aspect of the village was to expand its military efforts in order to maintain its economy. This was due to the downfall of major Shinobi villages, allowing for a much higher number of missions being assigned to Tanigakure despite their relative isolation in comparison to the other villages. Beyond the assignment of missions, Tanigakure has also formed an alliance with Takumi Village as a means to enhance its trade with the neighboring village.

5) What is the technological state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? Any specific equipment or technology that should be noted? How has this impacted on their funding?
 * '''As a result of Amegakure's intervention, the village has an average level of technology. Televisions, basic military equipment and the like are available. However, the most significant aspect of their technology is their water filtration systems. While not advanced in machinery, their ability to filter the water from freshwater sources allows them to maintain hygiene levels across the village.

6) What is the economical state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? How has this been impacted from the Fourth Shinobi World War as well as the introduction of the World Bank? Are there specific things your village is doing to accommodate for economic loss/gain?
 * The economic state of the village is functional due to funds from Amegakure. As a result of their relative isolation, Tanigakure has always found it difficult to maintain a stable economy. However, their recent exposure on the international scale has changed this somewhat. Beyond attempting to make missions more available to Shinobi across the board, there is little that Tanigakure may do. However, the Daimyō-figure appears to be interested in using Tanigakure as a means to trade their unique freshwater to other villages as a source of income.

7) What is the population status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the population of the said village prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War?
 * The population of the village has always been, and will be low, due to the village's geographical isolation. It has approximately 15,000 people.

8) What is the military status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the military status prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War? How has the military power of your village changed over the course of the years that Fanon Canon differentiates from the war by in terms of its Shinobi populace?
 * The military status of the village is rather minor, despite being a Shinobi village. Because the Land of Rivers doesn't have a very well established military presence, the village never was, nor will be, a very powerful village. However, the Shinobi have shown to use the surrounding environment very well to hold off invaders for lengthy periods of time.

9) If you were to have a Jinchūriki within your village, who would that Jinchūriki be and what Tailed Beast would they host? Furthermore, how would they have acquired this Tailed Beast and in what way does this impact the village’s dynamics with other villages? (This question should focus less on the actual capture of the Tailed Beast and more on its effects on allied/enemy villages. However, some detail is necessary in order to make this a valid part of your application.)
 * Not applicable.

10) Bonus Question! Is there any other information that you believe is relevant in order for you to gain permission for controlling/introducing the village in the Fanon Canon? If so, please write that down here!
 * Not applicable.
