The pot is sweetened already, an unfailingly loyal ally that at its base would never turn on you, who can always supply an abundance of goods. Furthermore regardless of willingness, we all know Rei will step in if she needs, as has been shown twice now, and further more her words to Tainan imply a lot, an alteration to the Kunai Launchers, now firing sedating senbons and carrying ammunition reserves in greater numbers. While it is a generally non-lethal option, and not to actually throw him under the bus, but had Shinsei picked a fight with Rei he would have found himself not just facing the immortal Matron Mother, but the entirety of Hato no Tochi's defense force carries these modified senbon launchers too, and that's not counting what the Nin and Kakureyami members of the defence force can do already. Then you also have the Tribe and the Moonbears that a a few are also part of the Defence Force.
I mean, there are definitely forces in place to prevent Hato no Tochi from being helpless, the Defence Force, the environment, Rei's connection to the land, but as far as offerings, I mean, yea, you have an ally that won't ever betray you and will always have a large supply of goods to trade.
That's a fairly good deal.

....Han dies? What? Why? ;-;
Chiaki will protect Han from anyone who tries to attack her!
From what I understand, Tai Release counters Wuji Release, so if anyone can cure the effect of Jinan's curse, it's a practitioner of Tai. Or maybe one of the kids wanting to be medic-ninjas will find a cure eventually. Hana's also working on it. So don't give up... D:
@White Masquerade
lol. Rudy's not much of a chivalrous knight is he?
People who hate Rei. People who are jealous of the Land of Dove. People who dislike the ideals of the Land of Dove. People who want the chakra-ful resources of the Land of Dove for themselves. There are many possible reasons why the Land of Doves would be targeted. Unless an alliance is actually negotiated, the countries the Land of Dove donates to may or may not choose to help the sub-nation, simply because doing so is a risk for themselves. Kindness isn't always returned. And most normal people don't take risks without good reason. True honor isn't actually that common...and even then, there are many different codes of honor.
Shinsei, for example, has his own sense of honor...of sorts. ¬¬
Nao visits because he likes the sharks. And because the boat rides there are free =)
Also, as far as stealing the chakra infused resources good luck dealing with the Moonbear. Though bandit and raider groups have already proved ineffective at dealing with Rei and the Memoriam back before Hato no Tochi even existed.
