After all, the foundation of the entire Dragon Vein Seal is the Four Symbols Seal, which is most "familiar" to Uchiha Sō.

He had received daily "tutorials" from Kazuko regarding the Four Symbols Seal, making it the sealing technique he understood best.

Use sealing techniques occasionally, engage in some unusual "hobbies," and enhance your relationship.

The technique most frequently used by Uchiha Sō and Kazuko was the Four Symbols Seal.

Practice makes perfect; how could he not understand it thoroughly?

Of course, the dragon vein seal of the Water Gate contains some of the spells of the contract seal, which also proves from the side that there is a certain contractual relationship between the bloodline of the Loulan Queen and the dragon vein.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, when breaking the seal on Minato's dragon vein, it is best to bring the bloodline of the Loulan Queen with you to avoid the dragon vein chakra going berserk and becoming difficult to subdue.

"But where can we find the descendants of the Loulan Queen now?"

The Land of Wind, an oasis near Sunagakure.

Because this place is very close to Sunagakure, Konoha's Anbu are lurking here.

Inside the black market eatery, a middle-aged chef cautiously surveyed his surroundings, making sure no one was around.

"Hey, sir, what are your orders?"

Very few people in Konoha knew that Uchiha Xiang, the Fifth Hokage, had gone "traveling" (visiting) outside the village.

He used the internal contact information given to him by Kakashi to locate the Konoha Anbu lurking near Sunagakure.

This is a secret method to make the dark side obey unconditionally.

"I need to find someone, but I don't know her whereabouts, so I need you to look into it for me..."

"Looking for someone? No problem, please tell me this person's information, sir."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it was just a simple search for someone.

He thought the village was planning to send them to investigate some secret information about Sunagakure!

As the Fifth Hokage, it's certainly not a problem for Uchiha Sō to occasionally "use public resources for private purposes"!

Besides, this can be seen as "support" for the hidden forces within the Land of Wind.

Without the tasks he assigned, how could the other party apply for mission funding?

If you really rely on your partner as a chef, your life will be pretty ordinary.

Chapter 200, Luo Sha's Vision

He told the secret agents in front of him everything he knew about the descendants of the Loulan Queen.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Sho approved the mission funding of one million.

The middle-aged ANBU member was taken aback when he saw the amount of money approved for the mission by Uchiha Sho.

"One million taels, sir. That's the commission for an A-level mission! Are you sure you haven't approved it wrong?"

Uchiha Xiang laughed and said, "You brothers have worked hard all these years. The person I'm looking for is very likely in the Land of Wind, in the vast desert. Consider this money as a reward for your hard work!"

Seeing that the "leader" who came this time was so "understanding", the middle-aged man in charge of the secret service of the Wind Kingdom narrowed his eyes into slits.

"My lord, please rest assured, as long as she is still in the Kingdom of Wind, we will definitely help you find her!"

Uchiha Ei smiled slightly.

The emperor doesn't starve his soldiers!

Even if the amount of money he approves for a task is small, the other party will still try to find it. But if he gives enough money, the other party will work twice as hard to find it.

Besides, look at the life of this head of the Wind Country's secret service.

Even the head of the Konoha Anbu, who was infiltrating the Land of Wind, had to run his own restaurant. This shows how miserable the lives of the Anbu in the Land of Wind were.

This can also be seen as taking the opportunity to improve their lives.

At this point, Uchiha Sho had to admire the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure.

These two had a falling out, which caused Sunagakure to be unable to accept missions from the Land of Wind. They had to rely on small missions and the Magnet Release of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, to "pan" for gold in the vast desert and make a living.

No wonder the Konoha Anbu of the Land of Wind have such a hard life.

Such a village as Sunagakure poses little threat to Konoha!

No wonder the Sand Village in the original timeline would cooperate with Orochimaru to carry out the Konoha Crush Plan!

If they don't make a profit from the Land of Fire, how will the other side survive?

What can relieve worries? Only getting rich quick!

According to Uchiha Sō's memories of his previous life, after the ancient city of Loulan was abandoned, the people of Loulan lived a nomadic life, following the water and grass of oases.

Therefore, they had no fixed abode, and it would be extremely difficult for Uchiha Sho to find them in a short period of time.

Therefore, Uchiha Sō naturally thought of the Hidden Leaf Village's ANBU (Anbu) that had infiltrated the Land of Wind.

Contact the head of the Dark Side of the Land of Wind, assign the task, and leave the rest to them.

With their capabilities, finding the descendants of the Loulan Queen would be a piece of cake.

Sure enough, Uchiha Sho had only been there for two days when news came from the middle-aged Anbu.

According to information from the Anbu, Uchiha Sho quickly found traces of the Loulan survivors.

After crossing a sand dune, the ANBU member leading the way pointed to a conspicuous oasis in the distance and said to Uchiha Sho, "Sir, the Loulan survivors you are looking for are right there!"

Uchiha Elephant looked up and saw a circle of caravans parked around the oasis.

Sparse figures moved back and forth between the convoy; some were fetching water from the oasis, some were tending to the camels and sheep, and some were busy starting a fire and cooking.

Frowning, Uchiha Xiang asked in confusion, "Why are there only so few people?"

The convoy beside the oasis consisted of only two or three hundred people, far fewer than Uchiha Sō had expected.

In his view, even if the number of Loulan survivors was not large, there should not have been only two or three hundred left.

A local guide, brought in by the Anbu, quickly explained to Uchiha Sō.

"Since Loulan City was abandoned, these Loulan survivors have lost their livelihoods. Some left, some died, and now only these few remain."

Uchiha Sho pondered for a moment, then asked, "Even without towns, their lives shouldn't be this miserable, right?"

Just as the guide was about to explain, he suddenly saw something and pointed into the distance.

"Look!"

Uchiha Eiji looked in the direction the guide was pointing and saw two Sand Village ninjas arrive at the oasis and begin negotiating with the Loulan survivors there.

The negotiations between the two sides seemed to be going very unpleasantly. After a quarrel, the two Sand Village ninjas left the oasis, their figures gradually disappearing into the sandstorm.

Uchiha Xiang frowned slightly and asked, "Why is Sunagakure here?"

The Konoha ANBU member explained, "I heard that Sunagakure has been levying taxes on these Loulan survivors. Those two Sunagakure ninjas just now must have been the ones who came to collect the taxes."

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Sō understood why Rasa had done this.

He did this for two reasons: first, he could use it as an excuse to monitor the remnants of Loulan.

Secondly, they hoped to use economic pressure to force these Loulan survivors to completely submit to Sunagakure Village.

In this way, Sunagakure could rightfully possess the dragon vein.

Uchiha Sō looked down on Rasa's petty tricks.

It is truly disappointing that the Shadow of a mere village, the leader of the most powerful violent organization in the Land of Wind, has such a narrow-minded approach.

If Uchiha Samurai were in Rasa's position, his first step after taking power would be to subdue Pakura and unite the entire Sunagakure village.

Then, I will personally go to the capital of the Land of Wind and have a proper "talk" with the daimyo about the mission entrusted to me by the Land of Wind.

If the other party doesn't know what's good for them, he wouldn't mind changing the name of the Kingdom of Wind.

Anyway, for the village's leader, there are plenty of ways to change the daimyo.

Finally, while feigning weakness to the major ninja villages outside, they focused on developing their own strength, enhancing the fighting power of Sunagakure, and seeking opportunities...

As for the remnants of Loulan, they were given a place to be forcibly integrated into Sunagakure.

If they are given equal treatment, what right do these rootless vagrants have to resist him?

The ANBU ninja asked, "Sir, should we go over and confirm that this is the person you are looking for?"

Uchiha Eboshi shook his head: "No need, it's them!"

The ANBU ninja asked expectantly, "In that case, what about this mission?"

After all, he knew that the mission reward was very high. As long as the mission was completed, the Konoha Anbu, who were infiltrating the Land of Wind, could live a good life for a while.

Seeing this, Uchiha Xiang didn't say much, but simply signed the mission sheet to indicate that the mission was complete.

The ANBU ninja happily put away the mission sheet, then shrewdly led the guide away.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

He had absolutely no interest in why Uchiha Sho, this "leader," was searching for the remnants of Loulan.

After all, it's best not to pry into things your boss doesn't want you to know.

Moreover, he had already discovered that this person was very strong during the journey.

He himself was an elite Chunin and was familiar with the desert terrain. As he ran through the desert, his opponent kept up with him with ease.

Moreover, they showed no signs of fatigue throughout the journey.

He was no ordinary ninja from some small, ignorant village; according to his estimation, this person was at least an elite Jonin.

Chapter 201, Doing Business

After the ANBU who had led the way left, Uchiha Eboshi, who was hiding behind the sand dunes, carefully observed the Loulan people who had survived in the distant oasis.

Soon, his gaze fell on a red-haired woman.

The woman looked to be about twenty years old, holding a baby in her arms, her face filled with sorrow.

Uchiha Xiang muttered uncertainly to himself, "Is it her?"

In my memory, the last queen of Loulan was four or five years older than Kakashi, who was traveling with Minato Namikaze at the time.
