Before the Attack of the Unknown, Tanigakure was a small village, home to gamblers and other business-men. Filled with japanese-styled buildings, the Village only attracted men and women of the night. With Shinzui's plans, the Village widened into many sectors that ran several miles and covered other villages. The Village is divided into two sectors by a river that flows from the villages north east towards the south west. These two sectors being:The Major North & the Minor South.
