Dark place in the middle of the street, a child was running like his life was depending on it. From afar there's a few group of dark people were chasing over the child. The child kept running and went to the dark alley and continues to run straight and turn to right without even looking and bump to someone, making him fall down the ground. The child looked up and saw a teenager, wearing white and orange shirt and pants, brown hair and his eyes seems... lifeless.

The teenager took him and hugged him, like he's trying to cover him with protection. The child was too surprise, he tried to push himself back but the teenager seems to strong for him to get out.

Suddenly, the group that was chasing the child finally came and pointed their guns to the teenager. The child was afraid as he began to tremble. The teenager hugged him even more, assuring him that he will protect him, much as the child's disbelief.

"Young man hand over that child to us." The man spoke as he pointed his gun to the brunette. The teenager just continues to stare, much as the man's irritation. He was about to fire his gun when suddenly, his companions were immediately been wipe out. It was too quick that he only realized he's the only one who was standing. "W-who are you p-people?" The man asked on the small group of people that already surrounded him.

There are three teenagers, someone on the center who was smoking, on the right the person was laughing as he hold a baseball bat and on the left who continuous to grin as he clench his fist, ready for more.

"Boss orders" A girl suddenly voice was heard. The only man standing turn back to the teenager and a child, behind them, a girl came out with an eye patch to her right eye. "Rescue Fuuta De La Stella and bring down the once you after him." She said with serious tone.

The one who was smoking took his cigarette from his mouth and throw it away. He gave a sigh and smiled, "Juudaime's order, we will accept it."

Soon enough, the man who was only standing fell down in great injuries. The three went to the brunette. The child who was name Fuuta finally saw the other three's appearance.

The one who was holding the baseball bat spoke, "Are you alright Fuuta?"

"Eh? Y-yes I'm alright." Fuuta said. The brunette let him go and kneel down. It seems he's body checking him whenever he was truly okay. Seeing he is pat his head, much as Fuuta's question.

The girl went beside him and touched his forehead for a moment. She turned back to him and smiled, "Do you want to come with us Fuuta-kun? Bossu was asking that in this moment."

"Bossu?" Fuuta questioned. The one who grin before spoke, "The person who protected you in EXTREME Fuuta."

Fuuta was still confused but turn to the brunette who kept staring at him. He soon realized the person she's talking about was him. He's the boss? But he seems so... lifeless.

Chrome who can somehow guess what he was thinking spoke, "Bossu's name was Sawada Tsunayoshi. I'm Chrome Dokuro, those three were Gokudera Hayato, Yamamoto Takeshi and Sasagawa Ryohei. We're your friends so there's nothing to worry."

Fuuta observed each one of them. Seeing no threat or decisiveness made him calm and nod. He smiled, "T-thank you for saving me."

Everyone except Tsuna who only feel from within smiled for him.

Morning when Tsuna brought Fuuta to his house. Fuuta found it amazing, since he can't believe this person was offering him a home that no one ever done to him before. Fuuta kept staring the house when suddenly, the door opened, revealing a child wearing a cow like design. The child smiled and greeted them.

"Welcome back Tsuna-nii and welcome Fuuta, want to play with me?" Lambo greeted and asked, wanting to make Fuuta feel home as soon as possible. Fuuta was truly surprise and turn to Tsuna. He didn't say anything.

"He's telling you to go and play with him if you want Fuuta." Reborn suddenly came much as Fuuta's surprise but smiled. "Re-Reborn-san!?"

"Ciaossu Fuuta. To think Tsuna went out just to rescue you, somehow you had my thanks Tsuna." Reborn said to Tsuna. He didn't respond but Reborn can see the happiness to Tsuna's eyes. He turned back to Fuuta and spoke, "I'll speak to maman so that you can live here as much as you like. I'm sure Tsuna desire that and I don't really mind at all."

"Really? Can I really live here?" Fuuta asked, still can't believe to be true. Lambo was the one who spoke, "Of course you could. Now come on and play with us. I'm taking I-pin with us."

Fuuta smiled and nod, "Sure!"

Reborn smiled for that. Looks like Tsuna and his Guardians were truly a nice and great famiglia.

'If ever it was Tsuna who was chosen to become the next boss and not Baka Yuji, I wonder what kind of changes will happen to Vongola.' Reborn can't help but wonder, even knowing that kind of possibility has chances of becoming true.

Later on, Nana was happy to accept Fuuta and their home became even livelier, much as Ieyuji's disbelief of his mother's decision.

The next two weeks was a happy day for Nana. She was cooking too much food early in the morning. Ieyuji was surprised at the sudden huge amount of food that had been cooked and his mother was still cooking. Tsuna didn't react. I-pin, Bianchi and Fuuta found it weird. Lambo on the other hand was enjoying the food as he eats. Reborn was enjoying his espresso, not thinking anything other than that.

"Yuji just what's going on?" Bianchi asked on Ieyuji.

"Like I'll know" Ieyuji replied to her. "Kaasan just what the heck are these?"

Nana turn around happily, even there's a kitchen knife in her hand.

"Tsu-kun! Yuji-kun! Good morning!" Nana said with a great smile. They can even see flowers and sparkles around her.

"Wha-what's going on?" Ieyuji asked his mother, finding it strange for his mother to be this happy.

"Oh didn't I tell you?"

Everyone, except Tsuna, Reborn and Lambo shook their head, telling her they had no idea.

Nana smiled happily again and announced to them, "Iemitsu is coming back!"

Ieyuji who was processing his mother's words, had his eyes wide in shock and shouted, "EHHHHHH! I-I thought that guy is dead!?"

"You did?" Fuuta asked. Ieyuji glared him, "Shut up"

"Yuji-kun, I didn't say anything him being dead." Nana pouted.

"But he never come home and I never seen him for so long! When was the last time anyway? Even I forgot." Ieyuji scoffed.

Lambo turned at his Tsuna-nii, Lambo mumbled, "I'm sure Tsuna-nii was saying their father was still an idiot even in this world." Reborn heard him and asked, "Was he like that too in your world?"

Lambo just nod. Reborn can't believe it. Looks like Iemitsu will still be an idiot even in the other world. He really wanted to shoot him so maybe, just maybe he'll learn something, especially about his report on his own sons. (Not that Reborn knows but there are worlds where his counterpart's really wanted him dead.)

After school, Ieyuji had no plans on going back home, after he was told that his father would be home soon.

"What to do?" Ieyuji asked himself.

"Ohh spacing out are you Yuji?" Mochida said as he pushed him in front.

Ieyuji didn't lose his balance but he turn around to see him, scowling. "Gee thanks for bringing me back to reality... sigh, what to do? I don't even want to go home."

They heard two familiar voices in the distance. They both saw Yamamoto talking to Gokudera with Tsunayoshi in the middle of them.

"So Tsuna, are you heading home?" Yamamoto asked.

Tsuna stopped walking, making the other two wonder what was wrong.

"Is something wrong Juudaime?" Gokudera asked.

They didn't receive any answer.

"Oh, maybe you don't want to go home?" Yamamoto asked, his smile still plastered at his lips.

Tsuna looked to Yamamoto. They knew that it was the case.

"Then why don't you come to my house, I'll treat you guys some sushi." Yamamoto offered. Gokudera smirk, "Looks like we can use that to have some pass times."

Yamamoto laugh and the three of them walked away, leaving the two behind.

"So even that Soulless Tsuna didn't want to go home... Did something happen?" Mochida asked in curiosity.

"Our dad came back and I don't even want to see him." Ieyuji said.

"You hate your father?"

"Who knows...I mean he's weird. He wasn't home more than five years and he said that he is working as a construction worker overseas. Have you seen a construction worker working in the middle of the North Pole? Also, just wearing a shirt in the middle of a cold weather like that?"

"W-well..."

"Weird, more like impossible." Ieyuji gave a big sigh.

Mochida was bit concerned to his rival. Even if they are enemies when it comes to Kyoko, it doesn't mean he can never be kind to him.

Mochida pat his shoulder and said "Come on, how about we go looking around and have some fun."

Ieyuji somehow brighten up and smiled a bit, "Thanks."

Mochida grinned back and both went on their ways.

The rest of the day became fun for the two. Unexpectedly, Ken and Chikusa happened to have a walk as well to buy something to eat. Four of them have a bonding time, more like conflict on the three except Chikusa who was just watching them. The next thing they knew, someone came from above landed on Ieyuji. It was a teen named Basil, carrying a box and being chased by Squalo of Varia.

Ken, Chikusa and Mochida fought but they were completely defeated. Reborn was also there, watching and shot Ieyuji a dying will bullet that end up with Ieyuji and Squalo fighting. Even so, he was still no match against him. Thankfully, Dino's interference and perfect timing had saved them, but Squalo was able to take the box and left.

Reborn, on his observation, thought that they were all still weak and if they want to get stronger, 10 days were not enough at all. Reborn decide to call Colonnello, a fellow Arcobaleno for help to train them. He also called another fellow Arcobaleno, Fon for the same reason as well.

From afar, Ryohei was watching everything. Ryohei smirked before turning away. Reborn sensed him and turn to where he is and saw he was already walking away with a smirk.

'Was the coming of the Varia the Ring Conflict they were talking about?' Reborn wondered.

Night and Ieyuji was sleeping to his room and so were the rest of the family, Reborn and Iemitsu were right now having a serious conversation about Ieyuji's chosen Guardians.

"Reborn I still can't believe my son's chosen Guardians were-" Iemitsu was cut off by Reborn. "If you don't want to believe me then do so but I gain will tell you that it is hopeless to find some people who can replace them."

"N-no it's not like I disagree Reborn, just that... when I took a peak to their school, I found some people who were qualified for my son's Guardians." Iemitsu said.

Reborn hum to that and took his cup of espresso and drink it, "So tell me who those people were?"

Iemitsu cleared his throat and spoke, "I'm sure you already knew about them so I just took their names. The people who took my attention were... Hibari Kyoya, Sasagawa Ryohei, Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato. Those people were so perfect for the position so why didn't you choose them reborn?"

"If ever you had truly made a peak to his school, I'm sure you had already notice it already." Reborn said. Iemitsu tilt is head, "Notice? Notice what?"

Reborn gave a sigh, such an idiot he could be. "They are more attractive to your older son than your idiot son idiot."

Iemitsu was bit shock, now that he thought about it, he did saw how attach to them to his older son, Tsuna. He thought he was just imagining things but to think it was way deeper than he could ever imagine.

Iemitsu narrowed his eyes, still don't want to believe it. "Gokudera Hayato was known as Human Bomb Hayato right? I would like to speak with him."

Reborn raised his eyebrow, "What are you planning to do?"

"I will ask him to join. Maybe he just took liking on my son because of his condition, not that I could blame him and of course it's not like I don't want my son to lose some friends but... this is a serious Reborn. I want some people that could support my son when he took the position and strong enough to protect him in any cost. People like them are truly needed to his generation."

"Then do as you please, although I doubted that would ever happen." Reborn said in closed eyes and drink his espresso. Reborn knew everything, so he was hundred percent sure that they would decline the offer, whenever he like it or not.

Daylight in the middle of the street, Iemitsu right now was talking seriously to Gokudera who was now wearing his school uniform.

"So what do you say? Would you accept the position you will take in Vongola?" Iemitsu offered, truly serious and confident that he would say yes. He heard about him, that almost none of the Famiglia took him seriously all because of his past as a pianist. Now that Vongola which was the strongest Famiglia was offering his place and much more a high and great position, he would certainly take it but things didn't turn out to what he had expected.

Gokudera gave a slow sigh and answered, "I refuse." Iemitsu's eyes widen. What? Did he just... refuse? Gokudera clarified more his answer, "I'm truly grateful that you had offered me such wonderful position and alliance but I cannot accept that offer, not once, not ever. I only follow one sky, no one else."

"One Sky? What do you mean? Wasn't my son, Ieyuji was the Sky?" Iemitsu reasoned.

"I don't see him as a Sky CEDEF Boss and Adviser of Vongola Nono, Sawada Iemitsu." Gokudera answered in mature and high tone. "He is the only Sky I will follow even with or without the position or alliance. As long as I'm with him, that is enough and fulfilling life."

Iemitsu was truly astonish, is the person he was talking to... was truly just a middle school student?

Gokudera smirk and huff, "Is this the only reason you called me? I thought it was something serious but I guess that's fine, still I did hope that you didn't just bother, I mean, Reborn-san was there to tell you right?"

Gokudera turn around and left, leaving Iemitsu in wide eyes. Now that he thought about it, he did say...

"Although I doubted that would ever happen."

Is this what Reborn was talking about?

"Skylark what are you doing here?"

Iemitsu turn to the location Gokudera was and surprise to him to see one of the people he could say good choice for his son's Guardian, Hibari Kyoya.

Hibari stared at him for a moment before looking back to see Iemitsu. He can't help but smirk, "Recruiting?"

Gokudera smirk back, "Yeah. I immediately decline of course. How about you?"

"Hmph, like I would follow that Herbivore. The only person I had respected was Omnivore, him and no one else."

"I guess we have the same answer."

"Hn"

Both of them part ways. Iemitsu heard everything and somehow was convinced. The people he had seen with such great quality will never be on his son's side. Not once, not ever.

Morning at the hospital, Dino and Reborn were explaining to Ieyuji about the ring on his neck.

"So this means I can become a boss right?" Ieyuji asked as he held the ring.

"If you can make it a whole ring, Baka Yuji. The other half of the ring is in the hands of the Varia. One of Varia's members was there yesterday, the man named Squalo." Reborn said.

Ieyuji grip on the name, he still can't accept they had lose, even if they had taken the fake set.

"They will realize that the ring was a fake in 10 days, we will train as much as possible Baka Yuji. You are still too weak than you think you are."

Ieyuji wanted to protest but he can't. Reborn was telling the truth. He was weak.

Dino seems to see Ieyuji's dilemma and said "Don't worry 'little brother', you'll become stronger enough through Reborn's training."

Dino's reassurance seems assured Ieyuji as well. Chikusa and Ken soon came out.

"Oh, how do you feel?" Dino asked. Chikusa just pushed his glasses upward. Ken grins, "Better than ever byon."

"Good because a tutor was coming for you two." Reborn said to the two which they both found it surprising.

When Reborn said that, Reborn's pacifier glowed, indicating another arcobaleno is coming. And it indeed, it was Colonnello in his falco.

"Yo kora, long time no see." Colonnello said with a grin.

"C-Colonnello!" Ieyuji was surprised on his coming.

Colonnello land down and got beside Reborn.

"So, who were the people you wanted me to train?" Colonnello asked to the straight point.

"Them" Reborn pointed both Ken and Chikusa through gaze.

Colonnello looked at both of them thoroughly and said, "Are they really that weak?"

"Yeah" Reborn simply answered.

"W-what was that byon!?" Ken shouted.

"Ken calm down" Chikusa calmly said.

Colonnello chuckle and said, "Don't worry you two, with my training you two will become stronger than ever. So what do you say?"

"Yes" Chikusa said. Ken was shock on his partner. "K-Kakipi!?"

"If I'm really weak then I have to become stronger Ken. I want to make Mukuro-sama proud of me when we found him." Chikusa explained to Ken.

"Kakipi" Ken could somehow understand him. Both Ken and Chikusa just came to Japan and attend to Kokuyo middle school just to look for their leader, the mist user and their savior, Rokudo Mukuro.

Ken looked at the infant who was offering them and nod, indicating that he had agreed as well. Colonnello smirk and Falco took Colonnello to fly up.

"Now come with me kora!" Colonnello said as he flew out of the room with Falco and both Ken and Chikusa run to follow them.

Ieyuji turned on Reborn and asked, "And Mochida and the kid?"

"They both will be tutored by the other Arcobaleno, Fon." Reborn simply answered.

"Hehe then I guess I better get going." Dino said before walking away.

"Eh? You're not helping us?" Ieyuji asked to Dino, making him stop and turn to him.

"Sorry about that but due to the alliance I can't help you at all. I'm here to train one of your Guardians Yuji. The girl who uses guns;"

"Wait, you mean Brina!?" Ieyuji was surprised that even her has the other half ring.

"She is your lightning Guardian Baka Yuji. Ken was your Sun, Chikusa was the Rain, I-pin was the Storm, and that weakling Mochida was your Cloud." Reborn told him.

"Wait, you just said there are six, right? Those were only five, who's the last one?" Ieyuji asked.

"Ohh you got a brain now Baka Yuji, congratulation." Reborn said which irritated him.

Dino laughed and bid his farewell. Once he had left, Reborn shot Ieyuji by a dying will bullet to make him go and train and he did as he run away in boxer.

'There aren't just two candidates but three candidates. Just how will things turn out? You who wish to have the position, the Varia, Xanxus also wanted the position and Tsunayoshi who just wish to get free from the seal... have you ever predicted this Nono?'

Reborn's eyes then covered in the shadow of his fedora, remembering something he needed to be careful in near future.

Back at the Sadawa residence, Fon just arrived to announce to I-pin about the ring she found beside her bed and he come to train her. I-pin was happy that her master came to train her. Lambo was watching from afar and Fon noticed him.

"Are you really serious about this I-pin?" Lambo asked in serious and mature tone which surprised I-pin and Fon.

I-pin always sees Lambo as a spoiled brat and acts too much like a kid and only wanted was play and eat. Who would ever think the glutton and energetic/lazy one could have a tone similar to that of a mature adult? He is a Mafioso but still strange in Fon's eyes.

"What do you mean Lambo?" I-pin asked.

"Joining on the battle of course. I'll tell you now, you guys have no chance of winning." Lambo warned them.

Fon took a deep breath and said "It seems you know what's going on. I'm surprised Reborn didn't choose you to become Decimo's Lightning Guardian. Although I could understand because you are still a child."

"You got it wrong Fon. I didn't become one because I'm already loyal to someone else. He is much better in becoming Decimo of Vongola and I'll tell you now. Who ever try to get in our way will be destroyed. I'll strike anyone, even it has to be you I-pin." Lambo said coldly on the last part.

I-pin was now beyond surprised. Even Fon found it more surprising. Fon narrowed his eyes on the cow kid and asked, "Who are you?"

Lambo smirk and introduce himself in mature way. "I'm Bovino Lambo of Bovino Famiglia and also Tsuna-nii's Thunder Guardian. Maybe I can say I'm just like you, an adult in the body of a child."

"What!?" Fon said shock. His calm demeanor changed.

"But I have no curse like you guys had. I am just simply in a different situation than you. Please don't take it seriously Fon." Lambo said with a small smile. He turns to I-pin and asked once again, "I'm giving you a chance to retreat I-pin. Trust me and don't go on this coming battle. Will you accept it?"

I-pin immediately shook her head and answered, "I'll face you so be ready!" Lambo looked carefully on I-pin who is giving determination right now.

Lambo sigh, "Yare yare, I had given you a chance I-pin but if you won't accept then I advise you to become stronger less than five days. I'm a Thunder Guardian and you are a Storm Guardian. We cannot fight to each other. The one you will face will be Hayato-nii our Storm Guardian. He is stronger than you so get ready. I'm giving you some information that may come in handy on the future battle so be sure to remember it."

"H-Hayato? You mean Gokudera-san?" I-pin questioned.

Lambo nod and added more information. "The Varia's Storm Guardian was a man named Belphegor, or Bel. You'll know him when he has a word 'prince' on his words. He's good in using wires and knives. He's tough so I wanted you to give up now but... sigh... oh well, good luck."

Lambo turns around and about to go but was stop by Fon.

"Wait Bovino Lambo." Fon said. When he saw him stop, he continued, "Who's Sky do you belong?"

Lambo looked back and said, "Didn't I tell you? Tsuna-nii's Guadian, Sawada Tsunayoshi. We Guardians will make sure to give everything we have to protect and win the battle. If you were still confused, why don't you ask Reborn? He knows about us so don't worry."

Fon observe carefully to see he was lying but detect nothing. All he can see was determination and maturity.

"Very well." Fon said. Lambo sigh, "Yare yare, really what a troublesome people."

Lambo went away, leaving both of them on the room.

'Lambo... I will definitely win.' I-pin said as she watched Lambo leave. Fon noticed that and calmly sigh. 'It seems there are things here that we all aren't aware. Reborn just who are this people?'

Somewhere with Colonnello, Ken and Chikusa's place where they were training, they all seem to be tired but continued to train. Colonnello continued to watch them and felt explosion somewhere. These stop both Ken and Chikusa from what they were doing.

"What was that byon?" Ken asked in surprised.

"It seems it came from the other side." Chikusa answered.

Colonnello decided to take a look and so does them both. They were careful on their way and hid on the trees. The three looked and surprised on what they had seen. It was Ryohei and Hibari. Both were fighting, no, they were both sparring. Ryohei continue to punch while Hibari defend it with his tonfas and strike with his other tonfas. Both continue to do that without any hesitation.

"A-amazing" Ken said in amazement.

Chikusa's eyes were wide open on how powerful those two are, like they were not just ordinary at all. Colonnello also found it surprising. A man in such young age has a great power and strength within them and they have fully aware and control that strength. That was amazing for him.

'Both of them were... the white hair possess a Sun flame while the black one possess a Cloud flame. Did Reborn know about them? With them, they can make things turn around, no, they would surely be able to defeat Xanxus.' Colonnello had thought as he observed them.

He then felt someone was coming and saw another person arriving. It was Yamamoto in his Yukata and bamboo sword to his hand.

"Yo Sempai, Hibari" Yamamoto greeted.

Both stopped and looked to him.

"Yo Yamamoto, did you come to train with us to the EXTREME?" Ryohei asked in shout which earns him to be hit by the head by Hibari's Tonfa.

"Shut up Herbivore or I'll bite you to death." Hibari said with a glare.

"What was that Hibari!?" Ryohei shouted back.

Now this made the two fights for real.

"Hahahahahaha... c-calm down you two." Yamamoto told them.

Colonnello observed Yamamoto carefully. 'He possesses a Rain flame and a swordsman huh, maybe he's equal to Squalo but... something is different from this people but what?'

"So Yamamoto, why did you come here?" Ryohei asked once again. Yamamoto answered, "To train myself with him like you two. I wanted to get stronger enough to fight against Illusions."

"Does that mean that Pineapple Head is here?" Hibari asked.

Yamamoto grin and said, "Somewhere around here with Chrome. I heard both of them were training together so I'll ask him to train me too."

"Good luck with that to the extreme Yamamoto." Ryohei said with a grin.

"Yeah" Yamamoto said before running away from them.

When he's gone, Ryohei faced Hibari and said "Let's continue in extreme Hibari. I need a warming up to get the winning medal."

Without any further answer, they both continued to fight.

Colonnello, Ken and Chikusa watch for a bit before heading back and continue training.

The day finally arrived when the Varia came to Japan to get the other half. They had been confronted by Ieyuji's famiglia. They all had grown stronger from these fast few days. Xanxus who was eager to get the ring was about to release his Flame of Wrath when he was stopped by Iemitsu. Squalo and the others began to argue to Iemitsu about his interference.

"Xanxus, are your subordinates going to point their swords at the external advisor?" Iemitsu said in straight voice and in a formal tone.

"Wha-what's going on?" Ieyuji asked, surprised that his father seems to know something about what's going on.

"He is the external advisor of the Vongola Famiglia Baka Yuji. The CEDEF boss, the one who chose you as the candidate of the Vongola Decimo, Sawada Iemitsu." Reborn explained to him.

Ieyuji was surprised. His father isn't a construction worker, but a mafia. It made sense. That was the reason why he wasn't home for years.

"VOIIIIII Why the fuck are you here Iemitsu?" Squalo yelled in question.

"I'm here to wait the order of the 9th." Iemitsu simply said. He continued. "I've been having issues with your conduct and the 9th's approval of it. I sent a letter to the 9th with my doubts and questions, and this is his answer." Iemitsu showed a rolled paper. "This is a direct order from the 9th."

Basil who had helped Ieyuji on his training went to Ieyuji to give the letter to him.

"This is the direct order of the 9th." Basil told Ieyuji.

Ieyuji took the paper and opened it. There was a dying will in it, indicating it was really from him.

"I can't read Italians." Ieyuji complained.

Reborn took a look, "It said-"

"It has something to do with both candidates that that Nono found Xanxus as the right successor of the ring but Iemitsu, the CEDEF boss and Vongola adviser had chosen Sawada Ieyuji, his son to become the next boss of the Vongola. So he had decided to something to makes things fare... am I right Reborn-san?"

They all looked on the person who said that and it was Gokudera Hayato with Yamamoto Takeshi on his left and Sasagawa Ryohei on his right.

"Who are you people?" Basil asked.

Iemitsu narrowed his eyes on the group. "Why are you people doing here?" He still remembered Gokudera Hayato who had declined his invitation. This gives him a reason to question on why they are here.

"Hahahaha calm down, we're not enemies... well on the coming battle, we might be your enemies." Yamamoto said with a smile but has a serious tone in it.

Squalo can see an overwhelming strength of Yamamoto Takeshi and smirk, "A fine opponent."

Yamamoto laughs again.

"You came." Reborn simply said.

"Of course Reborn, we can't miss this day to the EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted.

Colonnello and Fon who were also there asked.

"What's going on kora?"

Reborn didn't answer. Gokudera spoke. "Vongola external advisor, Sawada Iemitsu-san, we came here for a request, more like a force order to be said."

"What?" Iemitsu said, taken a back for a bit. 'This youngsters seems serious for some reason, no, they don't seem to be children at all.'

"We are here to make the other candidate, Sawada Tsunayoshi to participate and fight on the title, Vongola Decimo." Gokudera said high and firm tone.

Iemitsu was surprised, even Ieyuji on the sudden announcement.

"Wha-what are you saying? My son is-" Iemitsu was cut off when he saw his son, Tsunayoshi was behind, holding Lambo in his arms.

"Lambo" I-pin said

Tsuna was just staring at them, not speaking, nothing.

"... Colonnello... is he..." Fon was trailing off. Colonnello nod, "yeah. He is different and I sense no life at all kora."

"Lifeless indeed;" Fon agreed. Reborn smirk, "I think it will be fun. Let them in Iemitsu."

That shocked all of them.

"Reborn?" Ieyuji questioned.

"I have seen little of his strength. I can assure you that and besides, you can't make him live on the dark." Reborn said to him.

"Reborn my son is lifeless, he's...!" Iemitsu was taken aback when there was a trident on his neck behind him. He turns around and saw a girl. It was Chrome.

"Say that again to Bossu and I'll stab your throat." Chrome threatened the external advisor. A cold glint visible at her eyes.

"Mukuro-sama?" Ken question.

"No, she's not Mukuro-sama, just a look alike Ken." Chikusa said, even he was surprised too.

Iemitsu's henchmen wanted to attack her and save him but they can't. She was not hesitating at all.

"Chrome don't do that, Tsuna will be sad if you kill him now. He told us not to kill right?" Yamamoto said seriously.

Chrome didn't answer. She just disappeared like a mist and appeared beside Tsuna.

"I'm sorry Bossu." Chrome apologizes.

Tsuna didn't answer and just stare on what's happening.

"Trash, can you seriously make that lifeless kid becomes a boss? Heh, your making me laugh." Xanxus said, not liking that someone is trying to take the position other than Ieyuji.

"Are you underestimating us Xanxus?" Gokudera said in mocking and serious tone.

Xanxus narrowed his eyes on him.

"Ushishishishi, this might become some fun, more killing. The prince is excited." Varia's Storm, Belphegor or Bel said.

"Youngster these days... but I see no problem with that." An infant and Varia's mist, Mammon had sighed.

"Reborn I cannot let my son participate in this bloody world." Iemitsu told the Arcobaleno, worried as a father. Reborn smirk, "Sorry to tell you Iemitsu but it seem your son already knows about mafia even before I arrived. He has a right and he has the blood that has same as Baka Yuji. You can't do anything."

"Even so Reborn, I-" Iemitsu was trailed off again when he saw in front of him was his son, Tsunayoshi in his Hyper Dying will mode.

"W-what!?" Iemitsu was shock.

Tsunayoshi with no words automatically kick him from the side, making the adviser smash down on the road. Iemitsu wasn't heavily injured due to his strength and all his training, but he was surprised with how powerful Tsuna was. Tsuna landed down in front of Iemitsu, just staring at him.

"That can't be... Hyper Dying will Mode!?" Basil said in surprised too.

"Wha-what is Hyper Dying Will Mode?" Ieyuji asked.

"More powerful than Dying Will Mode, Baka Yuji." Reborn simply replied.

Gokudera and Ryohei smirk.

"We told you. We will participate in this battle. Whether you like it or not." Ryohei said in mature tone.

Iemitsu slowly stood up, looking at his son, Tsunayoshi in disbelief.

"Yare yare, now that's done... when will you Cervello come out and tell us what to do already?" Lambo drawled. He was now in Chrome's arms.

They all found it questioning when suddenly, two women came out with mask covering the upper half of their faces. Tsuna pulled out of his Hyper Dying Will Mode and walked away from his father. Iemitsu wanted to call him out but stopped, because Yamamoto and Gokudera seem protective to him as they both stood in front of Tsuna. Iemitsu just looked on the two arrival women.

"Who are you?" Iemitsu asked in narrowed eyes.

"We are the Cervello. An organization who serves under the 9th. Under the 9th's order, we will be the judge of the ring conflict." One of the two Cervello's had informed.

"During the ring conflict, our decision is the 9th's decision. The 9th believes that this measure will please all members of the family." The other beside her said.

"Since we have an additional Family candidate who will join with us, there is something I need to make sure." The first one had added.

"What is it?" Gokudera asked.

"Do you believe that you can actually win and make your chosen boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi to become the winner of the Ring Conflict?" she had questioned.

Ryohei, Yamamoto, Lambo and Gokudera chuckled with a smirk on their face from the question. Chrome just smiled but it was a smile of confidence. They all found it laughable.

"What's so funny?" The other Cervello said.

"Is that all? The question I mean." Yamamoto said.

"That was very hilarious to the extreme!" Ryohei added.

"I though these people already know that we're serious but it seems they still underestimated us." Lambo said as he shook his head, somehow feeling disappointed.

"I think we need to show them we are truly serious on our decision Lambo." Chrome told Lambo.

Gokudera looked back on the two Cervello and said in mature tone, "Are you really idiots to ask such question? Just hurry up and tell us the time and place, idiots."

Reborn smirked. He can tell what they truly feel. Reborn also saw the emotion through Tsuna's eyes. He can see he was happy, happy that his Friends and Guardians are standing beside him. Iemitsu found it surprising as how much this people care for his son. Ieyuji on the other hand, was speechless, he can tell, those people have a strong loyalty to his brother.

"Very well then... Do you have any objection Xanxus-sama?" The leader asked. Xanxus didn't answer, indicating he has nothing.

"Thank you very much. And you Sawada Ieyuji?"

Ieyuji looked at his brother who was staring at the two Cervello's and Tsuna looked back to his younger brother. He has no expression or emotion to show. This pissed Ieyuji and looked back to the Cervellos.

"No problem at all." Ieyuji said, gritting his teeth in annoyance at Tsuna's response.

"Very well. Now, let us explain to you the rules of the Ring Conflict. Normally, two will fight on taking the half ring on each other. The first one who acquired and make the ring become a whole will be the winner." The first Cervello informed as she started.

The other Cervello continued in her stead, "But due to the sudden entrance of the other candidate, Sawada Tsunayoshi and his famiglias, the rules will change."

"This time, each one of you will fight until one was only left standing, who will be the winner of the match."

"It was a clear way for us to know the winner and the one who has a right to take the position as the Vongola boss and the rightful owner of the ring."

The Cervellos asked the three Famiglias, "Are there any objection of the rules?"

"None" Reborn answered for Ieyuji's side.

"Fine" Xanxus simply said.

Chrome read Tsuna's mind through her mist and then told everyone, "Bossu said nothing."

The Cervello leader nodded "Thank you very much. Now the seven leading by Xanxus-sama, chosen by the 9th, the seven leading by Sawada Ieyuji, chosen by the external advisor, and the seven leading by Sawada Tsunayoshi, another possible candidate beside the two."

"Ummm... excuse me..."

They all looked on the one who spoke and it was Chrome.

"There are eight of us in our side." Chrome said to them.

"Oh, Tsuna's side has two Mist Guardians. Just choose which one from both of you will fight, and there will be no problem." Reborn said to them.

Chrome nod in response and also her thanks for informing them too.

"Tsu-Tsunayoshi-dono has two Mist Guardians?" Basil asked to Reborn. Surprised that there had been two Mist guardians.

"Yeah, I haven't seen his power but I can already tell he's strong." Reborn said to Basil.

"Strong Mist user huh, interesting" Mammon said to himself.

Fon and Colonnello eyed Reborn with suspicion, not knowing how he knows so much about Tsunayoshi's famiglia.

"I see, eight leading by Sawada Tsunayoshi then." She looked at everyone and said, "Now, we'll prove which one of you is worthy of the Rings"

"By having you bet your lives on them." The other Cervello continued.

"L-Lives!?" Ieyuji said in surprise.

The Cervello's continued, "The location will be Namimori Middle School, late at night. We will explain more details there."

The other Cervello concluded, "We will be waiting for you at 11 o'clock tomorrow evening."

"Farewell" Both Cervello bid them before jumping back and disappeared.

Xanxus looked at Tsuna who didn't show anything, not even fear. He then looked at Ieyuji who seems to be sweating a bit and smirk, making him nervous for a bit. He and the other Varia members turned around and left.

Gokudera looked at the others. Tsuna just walk ahead and the others followed. Instead of stopping beside or in front of Ieyuji, they just pass through them.

"We're heading home now, bye" Lambo said to them as he was still being carried by Chrome.

They all just stare at them for a minute as they disappeared.

Basil went to his boss/master "Master... what are you planning to do?"

Iemitsu didn't respond. He just stares at the silhouette of his oldest son who disappeared in the distance. Ieyuji who was staring at his father for once stayed quiet.

Colonnello and Fon shifted their attention to Reborn.

"Kindly explain to us about that young man Reborn?" Fon asked to Reborn.

This brought everyone's attention to Reborn who pulled his Fedora down to cover his eyes.

"I can't tell you much but all I can tell you is that they just wanted to help their Sky, Tsuna to be free." Reborn said to them.

"To be free?" Iemitsu asked.

"Currently, there is something that was preventing Tsuna from communicating, even showing any emotion as well. The ones who knew about his circumstances are his Guardians and they found a possible solution to free him from it."

Iemitsu was surprised to have heard that.

"And what would that be kora?"

"The Vongola Ring. They needed the Vongola Ring that seems to be a key to free him. They will do everything for him. They are more dangerous than the Varia." Reborn then smirk and said "Don't worry, they won't do any dirty tricks. Their boss, Tsuna won't like it and he would gladly fight in a fair way."

"Tsuna-san was a kind person after all" I-pin added which made Fon smile.

"I can't believe that the Soulless Tsuna to have that kind of disability. Maybe they were just faking it." Mochida said incredulously.

"Faking it? Herbivore, you seem to talk like you are a Carnivore. But in the end, you are still a weak Herbivore."

They all looked up and saw Hibari Kyoya, the school prefect. He was standing above them at the edge of the wall.

"Hi-Hibari-san!?" Ieyuji spluttered in surprise.

Hibari was glaring at Mochida and Mochida was shrinking and shivering in fear. Colonnello remembered him when he was sparing with the white haired young man. Come to think of it, he was with them, at Tsunayoshi's side.

"Are you the Cloud following the Omnivore's twin?" Hibari smirked at Mochida's expression. "Heh, I'll be waiting for the day I can bite you to death." Hibari turned around and left the place.

"That was Tsuna's Cloud Guardian, Hibari Kyoya. Congratulations idiot, you are now Hibari's prey for saying such thing about Tsuna." Reborn smirked.

Mochida now sulked in depression and yelled frantically in his mind. 'There's no way I can win against Hibari Kyoya, that Demon Prefect!'

"They all respected their chosen boss. Talk something bad about him and we're in trouble huh, interesting people I must say." Brina smirked.

'So my nephew had chosen someone to follow. What an interesting sky, Sawada Tsunayoshi.' Fon smiled as he thought about it.

They all stayed quiet, processing everything they had discovered.
