After Kazemori Masaki left the front lines, Tobirama adopted his suggestion and persuaded the Daimyo to issue a declaration condemning the Land of Lightning's aggression and Ginkaku's sabotage within the Land of Rice Fields. It stated that the Land of Fire would seek justice for the Land of Rice Fields. The Land of Earth then voiced its support, further strengthening the alliance between the two nations.

Because of the incident involving Ginkaku, the Land of Rice Fields had already grown resentful of the Land of Lightning. The Land of Fire's declaration left its Daimyo both surprised and grateful.

At this point, Tobirama sent a letter requesting an Alliance. He explained that the Land of Rice Fields need not do anything except allow the Konoha Shinobi Village passage.

The Land of Rice Fields could simply remain neutral.

The Land of Fire had indeed behaved better than the Land of Lightning this time. Moreover, Tobirama was Hashirama Senju's brother.
