After learning that Oyakiro Homura possessed the strength to wipe out the Chinoike Clan, Chiyo no longer naively believed that she could control him with genjutsu based on how she had used the Ketsuryūgan back then.
He had clearly only pretended to be under her genjutsu so that he could let them leave.
At that moment, Chiyo remembered something.
After she and her companions had escaped the underground arena, she had vaguely sensed a gaze watching them leave from afar.
Now that she thought about it, that had probably been Oyakiro Homura—her father!
And when they had decided to escape the underground arena and seek refuge in Kirigakure, her father, Oyakiro Homura, had secretly guided them from behind the scenes.
Furthermore, Chiyo learned something else.
She had had no friends in the underground arena, but her father had feared that she would be lonely, so he had exploited the arena's rules and arranged for her to defeat Jinin Akebino and the others.
That was how she had made so many friends.
Everything, every single thing, had been secretly arranged by Oyakiro Homura.
But back then, Chiyo had not noticed any of it.
If Oyakiro Homura had not used Ketsuryūgan genjutsu to make Chiyo relive those events, she might have remained in the dark even now.
All the "coincidences" that had happened in the past finally received a reasonable explanation at this moment.
So there had always been a great hand behind her, controlling everything.
This made Chiyo's feelings toward Oyakiro Homura, her biological father, incomparably complicated.
After all, from her own perspective, there had been many things she simply could not understand.
Back then, all she had felt was pain and grievance.
Now that she knew the truth, she had no idea how to face Oyakiro Homura, her biological father.
