To be honest, Oyakiro Homura had once thought that, given his status, he would never have any dealings with Mizuki Ember in his lifetime.
After all, he was one of the kings of the Ninja World's underground underworld, while Mizuki Ember was Kirigakure's Fifth Mizukage, one of the kings in the open world.
The two of them had always stayed out of each other's way!
Yet today, Mizuki Ember, the Fifth Mizukage, had suddenly sent him a letter and asked for his help, which left Oyakiro Homura quite surprised.
And after reading the contents of the letter, he had no choice but to help!
Because the letter involved his daughter, Chiyo.
More importantly, it directly pointed out his identity.
He was also a member of the Chinoike Clan, Chiyo's biological father, and the one who had ultimately wiped out the Chinoike Clan.
Oyakiro Homura was truly stunned when this information came to light.
He had always believed he had concealed it well. Only Orochimaru had once discovered a few clues, but even he had never understood things as clearly as Mizuki Ember did.
It was as though Mizuki Ember had personally witnessed everything he had done.
Therefore, whether it was to protect his daughter or because Mizuki Ember already knew the whole truth, he had to get involved in this matter.
Of course, Oyakiro Homura had also learned through his own channels that his daughter was doing well in Kirigakure and had earned Mizuki Ember's trust. That was another reason he was willing to help.
"Consider it repayment for how well you've taken care of my daughter over the past two years. Konoha, huh? Looks like I'll have to make a trip there!"
After pacing around the luxurious room a few times, Oyakiro Homura sighed and muttered to himself.
