His friends in Suna were also advisors, and also participated in meetings with Shai's father. That's how he gained the connections. If he took them to Kumo, his wife would find out he cheated and would try to leave Kumo with Shai, so he avoided doing that as to not losing his sharingan. He didn't want them to stay in Konoha because of his wife's family members, they knew of him and would inform her that he was visiting a woman each time. Thus, sending them to Suna would allow him to hide them and keep connections with his new woman by being able to visit her as much as long as he had meetings out there.
