LAND OF THE MOON
The Land of the Moon is a wealthy island kingdom located in southern seas.
Its ruler uses the title of king rather than daimyō.
The country possesses enormous wealth compared with many minor nations.
Luxury trade, maritime commerce, entertainment, and royal estates are important.
The country does not possess a major hidden village comparable with Konoha.
Royal forces use conventional soldiers and guards.
Outside shinobi may be hired for important missions.
Prince Michiru and his son Hikaru became involved in a major political coup.
Konoha shinobi helped restore legitimate leadership.
By early Shippuden, Michiru may rule the country under movie-expanded continuity.
Potential mission themes include:
Royal security.
Diplomatic escort.
Coup prevention.
Luxury trade.
Mercenary activity.
Maritime crime.
LAND OF THE SKY
The Land of the Sky was associated with shinobi who developed aerial warfare technology.
Its hidden village was destroyed by Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.
However, survivors remained.
The Sky shinobi developed unusual military capabilities such as:
Flying combat gear.
Airborne formations.
Mechanical systems.
Flying fortresses.
Large-scale aerial attacks.
Some surviving Sky forces retain hatred toward Konoha.
The later events involving Shinnō and the Zero-Tails should not automatically have happened at campaign start.
Instead, Sky remnants may exist secretly.
This creates a potential future campaign arc.
Franz should classify Land of Sky as Movie Expanded Canon.
Its technology must remain rare.
