The First Kazekage recognized that Uchiha Mu’s economic and cultural influence had made Sunagakure dependent on the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation, so he chose to bring the village into it rather than risk its collapse. He then abdicated and ordered preparations to resist Mu’s influence, despite Sunagakure’s inability to secure its water supply by force.

• The First Kazekage worried that Sunagakure’s prosperity and reliance on the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation were eroding the village’s independence.
• An ANBU shinobi summoned Chiyo to a meeting where the First Kazekage announced that Sunagakure would become part of the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation.

After Chiyo assassinated the impersonated noble, the frightened Daimyo asked the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation for protection against Sunagakure.

Chiyo’s failed assassination attempt exposed a conspiracy that widened the rift between Sunagakure and the Daimyo, while Shamon realized Uchiha Mu had been undermining the village from within. Shamon became a rogue ninja to protect Sunagakure and attacked nobles aligned with the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation, but Kakuzu killed him and claimed his head.

• White Zetsu’s recordings convinced the Daimyo and the nobles that Sunagakure was plotting against them, and the nobles sought protection and placed bounties on the Sunagakure ninja.
