En Oyashiro Character Guide
Who Is En Oyashiro?
En Oyashiro is a shinobi and arms dealer from the Chinoike clan. He would occasionally attend the Coliseum as a patron in order to collect kekkei genkai. As a member of the Chinoike clan, Oyashiro lived in the Valley of Hell with his wife and daughter, Chino. Although their clan had been able to live in the valley peacefully for many years, being constantly in such close proximity to each other eventually caused disagreements between clansmen to erupt into violence; only Oyashiro and Chino survived.
En Oyashiro’s Role in Naruto
Oyashiro regretted his role in the deaths of his clan, especially his wife's, and wished for Chino to grow up to be better than he was. To that end, he took advantage of Chino's young age by concealing his relationship to her, instead telling her that he had her entire family killed so that she would become the last possessor of the Ketsuryūgan, and thus a valuable commodity. Oyashiro took Chino from the Valley of Hell and started making a career for himself as an arms dealer.
Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact
He trained Chino to be a combination of bodyguard and means to resolving "business disputes". He also began collecting young children with kekkei genkai such as Fūshin, adding them to his bodyguard retinue and providing them the care they needed. After a few years in Oyashiro's service, Fūshin fled with Chino and the other children in his collection; although Oyashiro claimed to feel betrayed, he was glad that they were forging out on their own.
