Rana's Backstory Planning Topic

So yeah... I'm playing with the idea of showing off how Rana earned the right to become the Kazekage, how her Sensei died, and how Yuumi(her KA) lost her arm. For this I'll pretty much need to add a huge conflict to the Sand around the time Rana was about 18 or so and a Jonin. I'll also need the name of a small country that shares a border to the Sand.

As for participants, I pretty much just need Ritzu to RP Yuumi, and someone to make and RP Rana's other two genin. Others can create villains and RP them as well too. I'll post information about the villain group later. <_<

How does all this sound so far? Also if someone can give me the name of a country that'd be awesome.

The Bird and River countries border wind. On the world map on Leafninja those are the only two identified countries bordering wind aside from rain which is in the middle of three major countries already.

Hmm well I need a small country which could have a decent enough military to cause a border dispute with the Wind.

River country is the largest one. It is around twice the size of the bird country and should have a military that would meet that requirement.

Hmm so I decided that the River Country would be occupied by a Mercenary group that is a reminiscent of the old Akatsuki group. So a group of 6 or 7 A to S rank ninjas who would be hired by the River Country to fight the Sand. That would be why the dispute was large enough to warrant Rana becoming the next Kazekage.

I'll RP one of the mercs >_>b

Maybe Ibara. <_< FYI most get slaughtered by Rana. One in particular gets WTFpwned. As for ideas of enemies.....

Puppet Master who uses human puppets(Kage Assistant level)
Guy who specializes in swordplay, wields a special sword(AL level)
A poison specialist, uses a unique and deadly toxin(Anbu Squad Leader level)
A golem master(Golem = KA level, ninja = jonin level)
A genjutsu specialist(Jonin level)
A taijutsu specialist(Hyuuga and AL level)
Leader of the group who possesses a malfunctioning curse seal and a special KG(KA level)

I'll do either puppets, sword or the KG guy

Puppet guy defects and joins the Sand. <_< Something happens to him at the end.

Sword dies shortly after appearing, his sword is like Kisame's.

There's two guys with a KG, the taijutsu master who is a Hyuuga so has a Byakugan and the leader who has a KG that allows him to turn his flesh into iron and he has a CS that if he uses it turns him into a large metallic boar like monster that looks like the one here,
