The Land of the Sky was formed by ninja from several countries that could mold their Chakra to mist in order to fly. It is said that they fought in the Second Shinobi World War, and their hidden village was destroyed in the war by Konohagakure for challenging the Five Great Shinobi Countries, but the country itself survived. Their civilization appears to be fairly advanced, best demonstrated by their usage of highly advanced forms of aviation not seen elsewhere in the Five Great Shinobi Countries. They include fliers that use chakra to operate, kunai launchers that can fire rapidly along with the ability to drop bombs, and a flying contraption that can fire chakra lasers from the sky. The Sky ninja's base is a giant temple named Ancor Vantian, which is described as the "ultimate weapon of destruction".
