After Sasuke has defected from Konoha and Orochimaru has abandoned it, The Land of Sound has become a lawless hell. Naruto, Kakashi, and others are sent to defeat the remaining Sound Ninjas in the area so to restore peace. After defeating them Kakashi calmly asks what is it that they are fighting for after they have been abandoned and betrayed by him. The group yells at him that they fight just so they can live another day and they could never understand them and yet Kakashi instead turns and tells all the Sound Ninjas in the area to come with him back to Konoha, telling them he will give them what they desire and its revealed for swearing loyalty to Konoha, they are given The lands and fields in The Country as their own thus earning their allegiance from that day forth.
