Seeing Mirai Uchiha's annoying smirk, Kakashi Hatake let out a cold snort.
He gripped his Tanto and rushed forward at high speed toward Mirai Uchiha.
But in just one exchange, Kakashi Hatake was kicked straight in the chest by Mirai Uchiha and [Hurled Backward] through the air.
"You're too weak, Kakashi."
"You don't even qualify to be my opponent."
After hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Kakashi Hatake wore a look of bitter displeasure.
From childhood until now, he had always been regarded as a "prodigy" in everyone's eyes. He grew up surrounded by constant praise.
Such evaluation from Mirai Uchiha—this was truly his first time experiencing something like it.
Seeing Kakashi Hatake's expression, Mirai Uchiha felt a wave of satisfaction rise within him.
Truly, toying with Kakashi from this era was much more enjoyable.
Unlike in later generations, Kakashi had already become accustomed to losing—there wasn't even any pleasure in defeating him anymore.
"Umm...Lord Future, could you tell us what happens with us in the future?"
Choza Akimichi asked curiously.
This kind of opportunity to know about the future was incredibly rare.
Though Shibi Aburame didn't speak, his expression clearly showed signs of interest.
Just as Mirai Uchiha was about to respond, Minato Namikaze interrupted, "It's better not to discuss future events too much. Otherwise, many things might change in unpredictable ways."
"I've decided that after completing this mission, I will seal everyone's related memories."
Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's decision, Choza Akimichi and Shibi Aburame looked visibly disappointed.
However, a captain's orders were absolute—they could only comply.
As for Kakashi Hatake, his facial expression once again became excited.
He had originally worried those words spoken earlier by Mirai Uchiha would completely ruin his reputation. Who knew Captain Minato actually decided to seal all related memories?
With that settled, he had absolutely nothing to worry about anymore.
Captain Minato, you're the best!
"Since our business in Loulan has concluded, we'll take our leave first."
Minato Namikaze nodded toward both Mirai Uchiha and Sāra. Then he erased the memories of Shibi Aburame, Choza Akimichi, Kakashi Hatake, and even his own before leaving without hesitation or regret.
Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Minato Namikaze really was a born ninja. Even when faced with such circumstances, he could still make absolutely rational decisions.
If Minato ever turned evil, the entire Ninja World would likely descend into chaos and unrest.
"Future, thank you for saving me."
A soft voice, barely above a whisper, came from behind.
Mirai Uchiha turned around and saw Sāra bowing her head while tugging on his sleeve, her face flushed red.
Mirai Uchiha asked somewhat perplexed, "Why are you blushing so hard it looks like a steaming teapot?"
"You!" Queen Sāra stomped her foot in frustration. "I'm not speaking to you anymore."
Seeing Sāra walk away, Mirai Uchiha let out a soft chuckle.
As if I'm the kind of man you can easily have?

After exiting the underground factory, Salei, Yako, and others were already waiting there.
There were also many nearby people dressed in tattered clothes.
When they saw Mirai Uchiha and Sāra appear, the crowd immediately knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty Sāra, our families have already returned. The people of Loulan will never forget your kindness."
Looking into everyone's grateful eyes, Sāra felt slightly better.
"Everyone, please rise first."
"Actually, it was this Konoha ninja beside me who saved us from Anlushan's grasp."
"His name is Mirai Uchiha—he's the one who defeated Anlushan."
Upon hearing Sāra's words, Salei and the others knelt again toward Mirai Uchiha. "Lord Mirai, the people of Loulan will forever praise your deeds."
Mirai Uchiha smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing really. Whatever concerns you, concerns me too."
The sentence sounded very ambiguous. Hearing it, Salei and others exchanged curious glances.
Could it be that they're actually...?
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes, Sāra couldn't help but protest anxiously. "What nonsense are you saying?"
But Mirai Uchiha casually took Sāra's hand and gently tickled her palm, whispering, "If you expose me now, I'll definitely lose face."
Feeling the warmth of Mirai Uchiha's palm, Sāra ultimately chose silence.
This scene thrilled everyone watching.
If it were this handsome and charming gentleman, he truly was worthy of marrying their queen.
---
Half a month later.
Mirai Uchiha and Sāra held a grand wedding ceremony in Loulan.
Before all the citizens of Loulan as witnesses, the two became husband and wife.
In the wedding chamber, Sāra tried hard to steady her breathing. Eventually, she still couldn't resist asking, "Mirai, will you return to your own world?"
Without hesitation, Mirai Uchiha nodded. "Of course. Staying here could alter the timeline."
Hearing this, Sāra's expression instantly dimmed. "I see… Then go without worry. Being your wife has already made me happy enough."
"Oh, and once you leave… please don't come looking for me."
"Because by then, I might have grown old and lost my beauty..."
Seeing Sāra's self-pitying expression, Mirai Uchiha gently pinched her cheek. "Sāra, you can come back with me."
"Travel back with you?" Sāra looked surprised. "Can I also go through time?"
Mirai nodded. "Of course you can."
"But..." Sāra hesitated. "What if I leave—what will happen to the people of Loulan?"
Only the queen's bloodline could wield the power of the Dragon Veins.
If she chose to leave, Loulan would no longer be able to rely on the Dragon Veins for survival.
"Don't worry," Mirai smiled. "You know about Konoha, right?"
Sāra nodded. "Konoha is the most prosperous ninja village in the ninja world. I don't think anyone in the ninja world doesn't know about it."
"While you're away, the people of Loulan can begin trading within the ninja world."
"In my time, I will offer the people of Loulan the chance to settle in Konoha."
Hearing Mirai's promise, Sāra smiled joyfully. "Really?"
Loulan lay deep within the desert, surrounded by endless stretches of yellow sand and nothing else.
Even with the help of the Dragon Veins, the population of Loulan had been decreasing year by year.
If they could settle in Konoha, the people would surely be overjoyed!
"Alright, get changed later—we're going to meet Salei and Yako."
"Once I finish explaining everything, I'll take you back to my world—my proud Queen."
