"Senior Ember, thank you for your guidance today and for helping the Hozuki Clan. Once I return and settle the Hozuki Clan's affairs, I'll come find you at once!" As he spoke, Hozuki Mangetsu rose to his feet and gave Soji, under the Mizuki Ember alias, a deep bow.
Moreover, this was the first time anyone had called Mizuki Ember "Senior"!
So this gratitude absolutely came from the bottom of Hozuki Mangetsu's heart!
After all, Mizuki Ember had done nothing but tell him a story.
Yet from that story, he had found a way out for the Hozuki Clan.
Although the plan had not yet begun, Hozuki Mangetsu already felt completely at ease, without any of the heaviness he had felt before coming to see Mizuki Ember.
Soji smiled and accepted it openly.
At some point, Soji had begun to enjoy this feeling of convincing people through reason.
Before he had enough strength, Soji liked to let his fists do the talking. But now that his strength could suppress the entire Ninja World, he no longer liked solving everything with violence.
Perhaps that was what it meant to grow as a person!
It could be said that if the Hozuki Clan overcame its current crisis, outsiders would see it as having absolutely nothing to do with him.
Yet only Hozuki Mangetsu, the Clan Head, knew that the man before him was not only unfathomably strong, but also far more cunning than he could ever be.
In that case, following such a legendary ninja did not seem like a loss at all!
The only regrettable thing was that he might not be able to happily play with his younger siblings every day anymore.
Not only that, the plan he was about to carry out might make his younger siblings hate him
