With the military forces of Sunagakure being scaled down by Kaze no Kuni's landlord, the leader of Hidden Sand realised that they must increase the quality of each Ninja to maintain a military force. As more time passed, the Lord started commissioning Konohagakure with requests he should have been making to Sunagakure. On top of this he began cutting back on the Sunagakure's budget. The Kazekage realised that if he didn't act quickly, Sunagakure would be in danger of disappearing. So, joining with Otogakure, the Kazekage plans to attack Konohagakure in order to teach the Lord a lesson and to re-establish Sunagakure's military force. Kazekage: Gaara
