Normally, now that Kumogakure had surrendered, the Hidden Leaf Village should have stationed its troops inside the village to monitor its every move.
But after briefly discussing it with Sasuke, Naruto decided it would be better to station their troops outside Kumogakure instead.

When the commander of the Hidden Leaf Village's troops in the Land of Water learned that Kumogakure had surrendered, he was overjoyed.
That meant the Kumogakure troops stationed in the Land of Water would no longer be their
