Unlike Iwagakure, as soon as Sunagakure received the mission request, they tore it up immediately, not giving any face to the envoy delivering the mission orders.
Helping the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?
Sunagakure was barely able to protect itself, with no extra ninja available to send. Wouldn't helping the Daimyo of the Land of Fire be akin to walking to their deaths?
It was better not to get involved.
Moreover, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind had always disregarded them in Sunagakure, so there was no need to curry favor.
When Hidden Mist Village received the mission request, Mei Terumi was somewhat tempted by the fifty billion ryō, but the situation in Konoha made her hesitant to act.
Moreover, Chang Shilang was in Konoha.
She actually had high hopes for that young one. Even though she knew Konoha wouldn't use hostages as threats, having come from Blood Mist Village, she always harbored a deep cautiousness towards the malevolence of human nature.
