Just like Salai, the people of Loulan Kingdom were all excited after hearing that they could settle in the Land of Lightning.
Even with the power of the Dragon Vein, Loulan, located in the desert, still lacked various resources, and daily life was very inconvenient.
Now that they could all leave together, naturally no one would object.
Salai and Yazi even specifically sought out Uchiha Yuzuru to express their sincere gratitude to him.
Uchiha Yuzuru, being a good person, saw the task through to the end and personally escorted the people of Loulan towards the Land of Lightning.
It wasn't that he had much affection for these people of Loulan; it was just that Salai's lineage possessed the power to control the Dragon Vein, and he didn't mind doing a little more to increase Salai's goodwill towards him.
The grand migration of the Loulan people naturally could not be hidden from Hidden Sand Village.
However, when the scouts on the front line informed the Third Kazekage that Uchiha Yuzuru was responsible for escorting the Loulan people, the Third Kazekage no longer worried.
And he secretly sent many Ninja from Hidden Sand Village to escort them along the way.
No matter what, these people absolutely could not encounter any problems within the Land of Wind's borders.
Walking on the road, Yazi smiled, "Lord Yuzuru, you saved Loulan and are our benefactor. I think you and Her Majesty Salai are a match made in heaven."
Salai immediately nodded, "That's right, Lord Yuzuru, would you be willing to become our King?"
Hearing their words, Salai's face flushed crimson, and she lowered her head, constantly fiddling with the hem of her skirt.
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "Let's talk about these things after you all have settled down."
He had already told Salai about his situation in advance. Although Salai explicitly stated that she didn't mind, he still needed to report this matter to Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina first.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that when passing through the Land of Grass, Uchiha Yuzuru specifically went to the Grass Ninja Village to look around, but found no news of any Uzumaki Clan members.
It seemed that it was still too early, and Karin's mother might not have settled in the Grass Ninja Village yet.
From the Land of Wind all the way to the Land of Lightning, passing through the Land of Birds, Land of Rain, Land of Grass, Land of Waterfalls, Land of Frost, Land of Rice Fields... it took a total of three months for the group to arrive at the Land of Lightning.
Upon reaching the border, the Anbu arranged by the Third Raikage voluntarily appeared: "Lord Yuzuru, the Third Raikage has already arranged a place for the people of Loulan Kingdom. I will take them there now."
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded and said to Salai, "Salai, do you want to come with me to Kumogakure first, or go with your people to their future settlement?"
Salai thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go with them first. Once I've settled everything, I'll come to Kumogakure to find you."
"Alright then, let's part ways here."
Uchiha Yuzuru did not insist. As the Loulan Queen, it would not be good for Salai to directly abandon her people and return to Kumogakure with him.
So, after instructing the Anbu to protect Salai's safety, Uchiha Yuzuru took Kakashi Hatake, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Obito and headed towards Kumogakure.
On the way, Uchiha Shisui meticulously completed his mission log, while Kakashi Hatake kept his head down, reading a book.
Only Uchiha Obito couldn't stay still for a moment. He looked at Uchiha Yuzuru curiously and asked, "Big Brother Yuzuru, about your matter with Queen Salai this time, do you need me to keep it a secret from Sister Kushina and Sister Mikoto?"
Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently, "No need. I already said that I would lead by example, and everything is for the Uchiha."
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito gave him a thumbs up.
As expected of Big Brother Yuzuru, it seems he still has a lot to learn!

After returning to the Village, Uchiha Yuzuru and the others submitted their mission.
The staff simply asked a few questions and then handed the mission reward directly to Uchiha Yuzuru.
The moment they received the mission reward, Uchiha Obito, Kakashi Hatake, and Uchiha Shisui all broke into excited smiles.
A full five hundred thousand ryo!
Uchiha Obito asked somewhat nervously, "Big Brother Yuzuru, how are you planning to split this mission's reward?"
"I'll take two hundred thousand ryo, and you all can split the rest equally."
Uchiha Obito and the other two nodded vigorously, "No problem."
After Uchiha Yuzuru took two hundred thousand ryo, they each received one hundred thousand ryo!
Although the three of them were not short on money, this was the reward they earned through their own mission, and it felt completely different.
Most importantly, their Ninja resumes now had a record of completing an A-rank mission.
One must know that even some Jonin had not completed an A-rank mission!
Seeing the three of them happy, Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand, "Let's go, I'm treating everyone to barbecue."
Although they had left Konoha, this could still be considered a tradition.
Traditional customs must not be lost.
"Yay!"
The four of them had been traveling for several months, covered in dust, and hadn't eaten delicious marinated barbecue from a restaurant in a long time.
So, they ate until the barbecue restaurant closed, and only then did they reluctantly leave the restaurant.
Uchiha Yuzuru instructed, "Shisui, from now on, you should try your best to study at the Ninja Academy, understood?"
Currently, Uchiha Shisui was very sensitive, and he might awaken his Sharingan at any time.
However, awakening the Sharingan too early placed a heavy burden on the body. If not careful, he might suffer from a bloodline disease like Uchiha Itachi, so it was better to spend a few more years at the Ninja Academy.
Uchiha Shisui nodded obediently, "Clan Head Ketsuna, I'll listen to you."
Seeing this, Uchiha Obito complained, "Big Brother Yuzuru, then Kakashi and I will be short a teammate."
Uchiha Yuzuru thought for a moment, "You two can team up with Tekka."
"Ah? Tekka?"
Thinking of Uchiha Tekka's arrogant demeanor, Uchiha Obito felt a bit down, "I understand."
After making simple arrangements, Uchiha Yuzuru returned to his courtyard alone.
Inside the room, the lights were still on.
Uchiha Yuzuru pushed the door open and walked in, finding Uzumaki Kushina knitting gloves with yarn.
"Kushina, it's still early for winter, why are you already knitting gloves?"
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's voice, Uzumaki Kushina excitedly stood up and immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Yuzuru, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
Uchiha Yuzuru rubbed his chin against Uzumaki Kushina's head a few times and smiled, "Then you don't have to go back to your room tonight. Just sleep with me."
Uzumaki Kushina playfully hit Uchiha Yuzuru's shoulder and chided, "No way, you big pervert will definitely bully me."
Uchiha Yuzuru said unhappily, "Kushina, you think too badly of me, don't you?"
"Hehe..." Uzumaki Kushina broke free from Uchiha Yuzuru's embrace and laughed, "Yuzuru, my birthday was half a month ago."
Uchiha Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Kushina, I will definitely make up for your birthday gift."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina rolled her Byakugan and whispered, "That's not what I meant."
Uchiha Yuzuru scratched his head, "Then what do you mean?"
"You idiot!" Uzumaki Kushina snorted softly, "I'm already eighteen years old, you know."
After saying that, she opened the door and ran off.
Uchiha Yuzuru felt his heart rate quicken a bit.
Marriage!
Must get married!
