During the Second Shinobi World War, Takigakure invaded Iwagakure after receiving news that the Second Tsuchikage was going to attempt an invasion to steal the kekkei genkai abilities of the Takigakure clans. Takigakure struck first and fast, winning the battle with minimal loss and shocking the world, simultaneously. This was their only involvement in the war, however, and they did not participate further or instigate any other battles. During the Third Shinobi World War, Takigakure spies heard that Iwagakure had sided with Kusagakure to attempt another invasion. Neither nation was able to find the right waterfall, being that there is a dozen or so across the land.
