Only as allies (probably broke off anyways). Not economic support from what we know and they were clearly destroyed by Konoha when needed so they were expendable allies (Rain). Also, they got jack squat of the bijuu. Meanwhile, Kiri has 2 tails and 8 tails.
Hashirama didn't really do anything well. Only for the big 5, and even then, only kinda.
shit no i meant clans. =x my bad.
- Konoha's creation was to stop the war that was going on = success
- Further solidify the connection between the countries with the Gokage conference = Success
- Prevent 1 country from becoming a powerhouse and taking over the world by giving out tailed beasts = Success
How can you help a country when you yourself are fighting in a war. Also, Hashirama wasn't Hokage at that time.. Hiruzen was. Hanzo and Danzo are responsible for the demise of the Hidden Rain. If they had let Yahiko continue his plan of course the leaf would've worked with them, seeing as how Hiruzen is.
On top of that you simply can't give out shit to countries.. something your favorite character tobirama said. Though he said it for financial reasons. I'm saying it because you take away the pride of people.
Hashirama didn't shit for konoha or the big 5.. He did it for the world. Konoha was simply his little step of a bigger plan.
