For over a month, Ay tried every method available in Kumogakure to remove the pink color sprayed on his body. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Though the shade became slightly lighter, it was still very visible. He had to maintain Transformation jutsu every time he met others.
Of course, there were several instances when he wanted to rip his skin off. Unfortunately, something important would happen just before he took that step, forcing him to return to work.
Now that Konoha and Sunagakure made peace, he wanted to do it before something else happened.
Mabui thought solemnly, 'To force Raikage-sama into such a situation without even facing him… Akuro, what a fearsome enemy. The fact that we have no idea where he is and when he'll attack us again is scarier. Sigh, I hope he doesn't show up right when Raikage-sama does this…'
Even though several shocking events had happened around the world, the humiliation inflicted by Akuro was still fresh on the minds of people living in Kumogakure. Their hatred hadn't decreased either. Unfortunately, the subject of their hatred was nowhere to be found. They could only divert their hatred elsewhere which caused Ay even more headaches.

Kirigakure received information about the new alliance too. However, neither faction paid any attention to it. The situation in the Land of Water, though tense, was a bit strange. After the death of Mangetsu, the Fourth Mizukage was expected to join the frontlines.
However, he didn't do so. Not knowing what he was planning, the rebels pulled back their forces and waited to see what move he would make. As such, no battles were happening in the Land of Water.
