The same situation played out among the Cloud Shinobi. The Third Raikage and Onoki shared a similar attitude, showing utter disdain for the news of Wood Release, yet showing a fair amount of approval for Shimura Danzo's plot to assassinate the Third Kazekage, while also harboring intentions of testing Konohagakure. Therefore, although they did not reply, they immediately reinforced their troops near the Land of Frost, making their intentions blatantly obvious.
As for the Mist Ninja, now under the control of Uchiha Madara, the current state of affairs had been orchestrated entirely by him. Thus, his attitude was unequivocal; he directly ordered the village's shinobi to head to the front lines and launch an attack on Konohagakure.
Turning back to Sunagakure, faced with this looming crisis, the two leading candidates for the position of Kazekage—Pakura and Rasa—held diametrically opposed attitudes.
