Tsunayoshi: the new disciple of Ryozanpaku Chapter 1
The characters of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi (Kenichi: history's strongest disciple) are owned by the mangaka Akira Amano and the mangaka Shun Matsuena, I only own this fanfiction and the possible Ocs but I doubt there will be any.
Chapter 1.
It was a peaceful summer night and Sawada House members were enjoying the wonderful and delicious dinner that the matriarch of the household had prepared with all your mother's love.
"The food is, as always, worthy of a King Banquet, Mama." congratulated Bianchi while putting a piece of filet mignon into her mouth.
"Oh, Bianchi-chan. You make me blush." responded with a light blush on her cheeks, Nana Sawada, the matriarch of the household.
"To what do we own such a delicious dinner, Mama?" questioned interested Reborn, who now had the appearance of a ten-year-old boy.
It had already been a few months since Tsuna broke the curse of the arcobaleno and they, in their eagerness to return to their real age, told Verde that he needed to invente a way to hasten the process of their growth, which resulted in a machine that can increase their body a few years, but the machine overheated and exploded, they must now wait for Verde to repair the machine to be used again. The excuse they gave to Nana's because the seven babies now were children of the age of Fuuta was that they had a sudden grow sprout, an explanation that the affable woman accepted smiling as always and without asking.
"I am glad that ask, Reborn-kun. This dinner is to celebrate that Tsu-kun's grades have improved." stated the adorable Lady, "And because I would like to ask you to let him take a vacation." She concluded.
Before the latest news, they stopped eating and looked astounded at Mama.
"Well, this is unexpected. Please Mama, continue." called Reborn.
Tsuna looked at his mother in silence.
"What I am trying to say is that in these almost one years that the two have lived together, he hadn't had a break. I understand that the work of tutor is full time and that Tsuna needed all possible assistance, for which I thank you greatly, but I think now that Tsuna is halfway through his senior year of middle school, it would be good for him and for you to take a break." explained Nana.
"And what do you suggest?" curiosity asked Reborn for these moments.
"Well, when Tsu-kun was smaller, we would go away to visit my favorite sister..."
Before the mention of those days a smile that rivaled the Sun at dawn began to form on the face of the chestnut future mob boss.
" … And as it has been a long time since the last time that we went to visit them, well, I called them and ask if you could stay there for the rest of the summer and your aunt said that there would be no problem." concluded so radiant as a Star, Nana.
Reborn put his hand on his chin, the idea of taking a break of mentoring and the chaos that usually surrounded Tsuna, even if most were his own fault. It was then when he directed his gaze of Onyx to his student and he saw happy and eager shine in the always honest eyes of Tsuna, the chestnut had pleading eyes to say Yes. Now that if he thought about it, Tsuna had improved for his qualifications as a boss, not as much as he would like, but it was under the way, already not committing so many mistakes when studying or doing homework, he had also improved considerably in his combat training melee, as well as his intuition... oh, what the heck.
"It's okay. If it does not cause the mamma there any inconvenience because of our stay there for the rest of summer, I do not see any other problem." the fedora child nodded.
"YAY!" Tsuna leaped from his chair in an outburst of joy and ecstasy.
CHIU.
Reborn shot in the direction of the chestnut.
"Hiee!" exclaimed Tsuna to dodge the bullet and falling sitting in his chair.
"Bad education is when you jump in the middle of dinner, Tsuna." He rebuked while Leon returned to its natural form in the hands of its master.
"Ok..." answered Tsuna from his strange position of Scorpion on the ground.
Nana smiled, pleased.
In the Shirahama House members had gathered for dinner, that day Kenichi had requested permission from Ryozanpaku to go home because his mother asked him to be there to discuss something that seemed really important.
The dinner had passed in a peaceful silence and now they were taking a cup of tea for digestion, it was time for Saori Shirahama to make her important announcement.
"Very well, now that all the members of this family are gathered, I would like to make my announcement, but before anything, Kenichi, Honoka, do you remember your cousin Tsunayoshi?" She commented.
The effect was immediate, as Kenichi's and Honoka's both faces lit up of happiness before the mention of their favorite cousin.
"Tsu-chan! Tsu-chan, what about him, Mom?" questioned impatient Honoka as she is standing.
Kenichi meanwhile was still sitting, but the smile did not leave his face, his attention fixed on his mother.
"Hahaha!" Mototsugu Shirahama laughed seeing the eagerness of his two children, "tell them already, Saori. I think they are going to die of anticipation." joked the man and sipped his tea.
"Hehe, I guess you're right, dear." smiled tenderly Saori, "Glad to hear that you still remember Tsu-kun, and if the reason that I bring him to discussion is because yesterday my sister, Nana-chan asked me if we could lodged Tsu-kun for this summer break, I told her that there was no problem, but I am glad to know you won't too..."
"Tsu-chan is going to come! YAY!" Honoka jumped abruptly towards his mother.
"Tsuna-kun will come visit?" exclaimed happy Kenichi still sitting.
Saori sighed in defeated and tiredness, who say that the mention of his small nephew was going to cause so much euphoria?
Mototsugu continued laughing stridently, so happy that his children were happy.
'Tsuna-kun will come visit!'Kenichi thought happy while he mustered to go to bed. Images of his small cousin, the brother who never had, came to his mind. Tsuna had two year older than Honoka, but when they were smaller and the two children were visiting them, Honoka always acted as the older sister of Tsuna so lovable and awkward.
'It has been a long time since I don't see him, I bet that he has grown enough. I can't wait to introduce it to everyone at Ryozanpaku, and the Alliance!' Happily, thought Kenichi.
"How would I present him to all Ryozanpaku and my friends?" suddenly reacted the chestnut while all the colors disappearing from his face. "They are going to kill him!" cried Kenichi, who was heard across the block.
"Onii-chan, shut up!" rebuked Honoka.
"Eeeh, so you and the baby are going on vacation for the rest of summer, where are you guys going?" asked Yamamoto as he put a sushi roll in his mouth.
It was the lunch in Namichuu and Tsuna and his friends moved to the roof to eat their food.
"You did not hear that? The Tenth and Reborn-san are going to visit a family member of the tenth, not only that but his aunt!" said Hayato scolding his rival.
"Haha, sorry. It is just that all my attention has been in the camp of baseball that I will go for the rest of summer baseball club." excused the tallest of the group.
"It is true. Yamamoto is going to the baseball's summer camp and Reborn is arranging things so that others, including Mom, go to Mafia-land, in this way everyone has a well-deserved holiday." quietly Tsuna commented to know that everyone were in safe places, more or less.
"But it still does not convince me that you are going without me somewhere I haven't secure. I understand that they are Mama's family and that Reborn-san will be with you at all times, but I just don't feel comfortable with the idea that you are alone to defend yourselves." Hayato explained his concerns.
"Maa, maa, relax Gokudera. You are bringing this to an very... well, extreme possibility." Takeshi replied.
"But..."
"I will be right, Gokudera-kun." interrupted Tsuna, "This is precisely that is why these holidays are an excellent idea. We are all very tense, it is time that we had time for ourselves and to relax. On the Mafia-land, Mom is going to bring the girls shopping, you will have time to read all of those novels that you've failed to finish because of the training and the school, the kids will spend all summer in a summer camp, Hibari-san will be in Namimori doing whatever is a holiday for him without anyone bothering him, Mukuro will be training Fran, Ryohei-Onii-san will be training with Colonello and Takeshi will be at his baseball camp worrying about just that, I will be in an town where no one knows me and Reborn, far from any conflict, I will be good. For now, the only thing that worries me is that everyone need to relax and for a while we can forget the mafia." spoke the future mob boss.
Everyone looked at Tsuna with a smile on their faces.
"If you put it this way..." sighed in defeated Hayato.
"Haha, Tsuna 227, Gokudera 0." Takeshi counted the times that Tsuna had won an argument against his second in command.
Kyoko and Chrome giggled in fun.
"Very well. First thing, I want to thank everyone for coming in a such short time." Kenichi began.
The school had already been finished at that time and Kenichi summoned all members of the Shinpaku Alliance to a meeting, and told Niijima that he had something super important to talk with all of the members, Alien was thinking that he had news about Yomi so he sent a collective message to all members of the Alliance.
"What is so important that you have summoned all of us, Kenichi-kun?" asked Takeda to get to the point.
All members of the Alliance, even if they wanted to be part of it or not, they were present for the call because they were curious about Kenichi wanted say, it wasn't very common for the Chestnut, the Ryozanpaku disciple to convene them which was the reason Tanimoto was there!
"I am glad you ask Takeda-san. The truth is that I already talk about this with my teachers and they seemed to understand, but I don't know how you guys will take it."
"Spit out it at once, Shirahama." said Kisara.
"Well, you see. What happens is that when the summer break starts my cousin, Tsunayoshi, is coming to visit, and well... I would like that when Tsuna-kun is in town, that we avoid, you know, any kind of confrontation." asked Kenichi.
"Aah?" It was the intelligent response from the majority of those present.
Miu gave a sympathetic smile, it was the same situation that happened that morning in the dojo.
"You see, my cousin knows nothing of martial arts or anything involving fights, he is a sensitive guy and somewhat awkward, when we were kids, he was always falling, Tsuna-kun is a good boy but I... don't think that he could survive to one of our..."
"Are you joking? That's why you summon everyone? I thought that you would have something more important to say!" Niijima exclaimed indignantly.
"This is important! It is the life of my cousin! The sweetest child I had the certainty of knowing!" Kenichi replied.
"Well, all you want us to do is that we do not fight or anything like that while this guy is here?" questioned Kisara.
"If it is not too much to ask, I will be infinitely grateful!" Kenichi exclaimed as he bowed at exact 90 degree respectfully.
"What did the Ryozanpaku teachers say?" Tanimoto questioned Miu.
"They agreed, they said it would be bad that because of something careless, Kenichi-san's cousin got just hurt, so they will be quiet for all the rest of summer." the blonde answered honestly.
"Well, if the teachers of the Ryozanpaku are inactive for a while, I guess that we have not much to do, they still usually in their dangerous missions but if they will not do anything, because nothing will happen. Okay, Shirahama." Kisara accepted as she left the place.
"I will ask the Valkyries to quiet, do not worry." accepted Freya and went after Kisara.
"Don't worry, Kenichi my love, I will tell everyone in Chinatown to behave." Renka said.
No one else said anything, all agreed to take be quiet while the cousin of Kenichi was in town, now in the room, there was remaining only Tanimoto, Niijima, Miu and Kenichi.
"My cousin is doomed, right?" questioned Kenichi.
The other three only nodded in silence.
"After all of this, Kenichi, this cousin of yours, where is he from?" asked Niijima, with his always reliable smartphone in hand.
"Namimori." Kenichi responded immediately.
"And he is called Tsuna..."
"Tsunayoshi. Sawada Tsunayoshi." He returned to answer, "Wait a second, what the hell are you doing?" the Chestnut reacted at the time putting his attention to his worst of friends.
Miu and Tanimoto were one on each side of Niijima, seeing they could discover this cousin, Kenichi approached and also began to expect that something about his cousin will appear, finally a picture of an adorable boy with unruly and anti-gravitational hazelnut color, large and sincere eyes of the same color hair, doll nose and small mouth appeared on the screen.
"This is information that I obtained from the files of the school where he studied, it is all I could find about him." informed Alien, "Are you sure that he is part of your family? He seems too nice."
On the screen, just below the photo, they read...
Name: Sawada, Tsunayoshi.
Date of birth: October 14, 199 X.
Blood type: A
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 58.4 kg
It does not have any extracurricular activity.
"Wow, he has grown." Kenichi said seeing the picture of his cousin.
The expected summer break had come, Tsuna and Reborn were at the train station with Nana, Bianchi, Hayato and kids, it would be a trip of approximately 5 hours and Reborn planned to use it to learn about these relatives.
"First, there's the uncle Mototsugu." began Tsuna, "I think that you and he will get along very well, I can describe him as a weapons enthusiast, Mom told me that he won a shooting contest last year."
"Then, perhaps, he is not an amateur." Reborn commented.
"Then there is aunt Saori, who is the sister of mother, she is a woman very friendly and reasonable." said Tsuna.
"It is good to know that there is someone sane in this family."
"Finally there are Kenichi-nii and Honoka-chan." continued Tsuna as he decided to ignore the comment from his tutor, "Kenichi-nii is a very quiet boy, he likes reading a lot. When we were kids, when there were me and Honoka-chan who were hunting beetles, he was always close to watch over us, and after it, he read to us stories before sleeping. Honoka-chan for her part is more active, she always acted like my older sister." informed Tsuna.
"Is she older than you?" questioned Reborn.
"Eh? No. Honoka-chan is a few years younger than me, but Honoka was always taller than me, I guess that was a key factor that made her behave this way."
"Hmm." mumbled the fedora child.
"I am amazed that you have not made any kind of crazy research, well you know, like investigating their bank accounts or their medical records."
"I did it." Reborn said "But it's interesting to hear you talk about someone so graciously.3 Reborn said smiling sincerely.
Tsuna didn't know what to think after being told this by his tutor.
The rest of the trip Tsuna and Reborn spoke of nothing to important, none of them mentioning anything about the mafia.
"Come one already! That damn train is too slow!" cried Honoka as she crossed arms and could not stop moving her leg up and down in impatience.
"It has only been five minutes, Honoka." Kenichi attempted to calm his younger sister.
"I hope that they have not gotten lost, it has been a long time since Tsu-kun came to visit us and his guardian has never been to this city." commented concerned Saori.
"Don't worry, love. Maybe they went to the bathroom." Mototsugu added.
"By the way, Mom, who is this person who is with Tsuna-kun?" asked Kenichi.
"Nana-chan told me that he is his tutor, who is called Reborn." Saori responded to her eldest son.
'What kind of name is that?' Said incredulously Kenichi in his mind.
"I see a mop of brown hair!" Honoka roared at the time as she pointed to the front.
The Shirahama family reacted instantly and turned in the direction that the girl pointed.
Approaching towards them was a lovable guy of anti-gravitational and tousled brown hair, with his big eyes which had sincere expression of happiness to see their faces.
"Tsu-chan!" yelled Honoka as at the time she ran to find her cousin and caught him in a bear hug.
"It is good to see you, Honoka-chan." Tsuna said as he hugged her back.
Honoka dropped from Tsuna's hug and slip down, that is when the girl realized that her cousin pulled him medium head height.
"Eeh! Tsu-chan is taller than me!" She exclaimed.
Tsuna only smiled.
Other members of the Shirahama family had already approached to greet the newcomer.
"You have grown quite a lot, Tsu-kun." Saori drew this time her nephew.
"Welcome back, Tsunayoshi." greeted Mototsugu with a pat on the shoulder of the boy while his spouse hugged him.
When Saori finally released Tsuna, it was the turn of Kenichi embrace him.
"It is good to see you." greeted Kenichi.
Tsuna only tightened the hug happy to return to see his first brotherly figure.
"Ara, Tsu-kun, wasn't there supposed to be a guardian that would come with you?" asked Saori when Kenichi dropped the child.
A throat cleared caught the attention of everyone and looked down to see a boy about ten years who wore a suit black tailor, in the middle of the summer! and a fedora hat.
"Ciaossu, I am Reborn, I am Tsuna's tutor. It is a pleasure to meet you." the small bowed.
"Tsu-kun... This is..." Saori couldn't find the right words.
Mototsugu, Kenichi and Honoka were not doing better than her.
"Believe it or not, this is my guardian." Decreed Tsuna as he went next to Reborn.
"Sorry for my appearance." He began to talk again, "Up to recently I was really sick, dying to tell the truth, my current appearance is the result of that disease, but now, thanks to Tsuna, everything is better, my illness has gone and soon I will recuperate my normal appearance, a very bright scientist is working on it." explained Reborn with half the truth.
"Oh, God. And you're better? Do you need any medicine?" Saori interrogated concerned.
"Not at all, Mrs Saori, my health has once again become as good as ever." reassured the tutor-assassin, "Oh, by the way, this is my partner, Leon." Reborn presented his Chameleon, "I hope that you are not disturbed by chameleons."
"Of course not." Saori smiled.
"Never seen a chameleon like that." Kenichi said as he watched the funny chameleon.
"Well, since everyone is here, let's go home." Mototsugu proposed.
Everyone nodded.
The trip to the home of the Shirahama was full of short conversations and anecdotes.
"This is the room in which you will stay." Saori said as she opened the door of the guest room "I regret not having more space for you, Reborn-kun. But now that Tsu-kun came from holiday, Kenichi was allowed by his masters in the dojo to stop his training to come home to sleep." explained the woman.
"It is okay, Mrs Saori. In Namimori, Tsuna and I also share room, it is no problem." Reborn replied.
"Dojo?" asked Tsuna.
"Didn't I tell you?" appeared Kenichi behind his mother, "I am studying and practicing martial arts at a local dojo, it is small and somewhat old, but the teachers are strong..."
"And there is also Miuu~" chanted Honoka interrupted her brother as she walked down the aisle behind his brother.
"Shut up!" reacted Kenichi.
"That sounds interesting." commented Reborn too interested.
Tsuna looked at your tutor with fear in his eyes.
"If you wish, we can go there for a visit. I doubt that it will annoy the teachers." Kenichi commented.
"I do not think it is necessary..."
"Of course, we would like to take a look." Reborn interrupted Tsuna.
Tsuna was already on the verge of tears.
"I also want to go!" appeared again Honoka.
"Can we, Mom?" asked permission Kenichi.
"I Don't know. Reborn-kun and Tsu-kun have just arrived, they should be tired by the trip." reasoned Saori.
Tsuna looked at his aunt as if she was a saint, a glimmer of hope...
"There is no problem, Tsuna and I were mostly asleep during the trip, in addition we were sitting for so long, that it would be nice to walk a little."
… A ray of hope that was vilely destroyed by Reborn.
"Very well, I suppose that if it would be good, so that Tsu-kun gets familiar with his surroundings faster. OK, you can go all together." decided smiling Saori Shirahama.
"I have a very bad feeling." Wept Tsuna when his intuition kicked into high gear.
The gateway to the dojo was IMMENSE.
'Yep, definitely a very bad feeling.' thought Tsuna while a light shade of blue decorated his face.
'Ryozanpaku... umm, where I've heard that name before?' Reborn questioned himself.
"This is the place." told Kenichi while putting one of his hands on the huge door, was then that with frightening ease the seemingly slim high school student opened the huge entrance.
Both Tsuna and Reborn were surprised by the ease with which Kenichi opened the door.
"The place is somewhat frightening." commented Honoka as Tsuna was taken by the arm, "but the people here are good and warm."
Tsuna look to his cousin carefully, Honoka was in peace, as if she had found the place where she knew no one would harm her, then Honoka dropped Tsuna and went running to the dojo, much ahead of her older brother. Tsuna and Reborn were more calm.
"Reborn, this site..."
"Yes, it is full of traps." completed the tutor knowing the idea of his pupil.
"And someone we observed." added Tsuna.
"Very well, Tsuna. You are already learning." Reborn said.
Both whispered during their conversation, just as if they were moving the lips, so to Shigure, who was hidden watching newcomers, struggled to read their lips and know what they were saying.
"Miu-san! I am back!" Kenichi announced his arrival.
Honoka had already entered the home, had taken off her shoes as he ran into the House, as if she was back home.
'Like Lambo.' Thought smiling Tsuna.
"Welcome, Kenichi-sa, oh! You brought them!" a female voice exclaimed.
Tsuna and Reborn turned their attention to the newly-arrived and were greeted by a beautiful girl of long blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes, with very well-developed attributes... Tsuna did not prevent himself from blushing seeing the girl.
"Tsuna-kun, Reborn-san, this is Furinji Miu, she is the granddaughter of the old venerable master of this place, also she is my classmate at school." Kenichi presented the girl to his cousin and the tutor.
"I'm Furinji Miu, it is a real pleasure." The beautiful girl bowed as a polite reverence.
"My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, thank you for taking care of my cousin." Tsuna mimicked her actions of the girl.
"Ciaossu, I am Reborn, Tsuna's tutor." He greeted while tilting his fedora.
"Tutor?" Miu looked to Kenichi not believing it.
"Apparently, he was sick until recently which is why he has that appearance." explained Kenichi whispering in the ears of Miu.
"Oh! Are you okay? Here we have two good therapists." proposed Miu truly concerned about Reborn.
"No problem young girl, everything is now under control." reassured Reborn.
"Oh, my, where are my manners? Kenichi-san, please bring them to the rooms, I'll bring them something tea, I will also let the others know that you are here." Miu told while she gave space to Tsuna and Reborn to enter to the main house.
"Honoka entered shortly before, she must be with Apachai-san." Kenichi informed the blonde.
'Furinji, Furinji... I know that name, but from where?' asked himself Reborn.
"Please, wait here. I will go help Miu-san with tea and snacks." Excused himself Kenichi leaving Tsuna and Reborn in the room.
"You know, Kenichi-kun." Reborn called after the boy, "Your sister is right, this young lady is very pretty, which is probably the reason you are studying martial arts."
"Reborn-san!" Kenichi claimed with his face as red as a cherry, and not knowing that say to defend his honor, the boy decided it was best to get out of there while he could.
"Haha, your cousin is really fun." Reborn smiled slightly under the fedora while playing with Leon.
Tsuna only denied in silence, with a sympathetic smile on his face.
Suddenly Tsuna and Reborn stopped all what they were doing, why? A beautiful woman of long black hair tied in a ponytail of horse, whose expressionless eyes were as sincere as a toddler and whose clothes were too small for those curves of infarction, appeared in front of them, sitting in seiza perfectly. Tsuna didn't even react, simply returned the curious gaze to the woman in front of him, trying to ignore the little covering her clothes, but he knew that this person was here to monitor him and Reborn.
"Kosaka... Shigure." Said the woman.
"Sorry?" Tsuna didn't understand.
"Tsuna, don't be rude, Miss presented herself." reasoned Reborn.
Shigure nodded in silence, agreeing with him.
"Oh, Yes! My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, I am cousin of Kenichi, nice to meet you!" -The chestnut hurried to tell while slightly bowing.
"Ciaossu, I am Reborn, I am Tsuna's guardian."
Shigure again nodded in silence.
The master of weapons observed in silence the two in front of her, the smallest who wore a hat and had a dark aura, the sparkle in those eyes of Onyx was not that of someone who had had a simple life, that apparently child smelled of blood and death, but there was still something which told Shigure, he was not an enemy for now...
The other, the cousin of Kenichi, was supposed about the same age as Honoka, but this guy had a different eyes which seemed to be shining, although Shigure wasn't sure at all.
Reborn by his side was also studying the Lady in front of him, to start she was skilled in infiltration, the katana on her back and her perfect posture betrayed her as an experienced fighter, but it did not have any kind of opening in her defense.
"Ah, Shigure-san." called Miu, who was entering the living room with a tray that had several cups of tea, Kenichi came behind her with another tray with crackers, "Apachai-san and Honoka-chan have been looking for you." informed the blonde while putting a cup of tea in front of Tsuna.
The silent Lady stood silently and left the room in the same flicker that she appeared.
"That was one of my masters, Kosaka Shigure, her specialty is swords and any kind of weapons." explained Kenichi, "She is quiet and somewhat mysterious, but she is a very kind person."
On this occasion, Tsuna nodded silently, Reborn still felt that something was slipping from his acute mind.
"Where is the kid?" exclaimed a loud and raspy voice.
"Sakaki-dono, do not shout. You need to be polite to our visitors." rebuked a calm, deep voice.
"Sakaki-kun is excited to know the beautiful nephew of our adorable disciple." a voice with a curious accent said in a mocking tone.
"Apapa! That emotion!" yelled another voice.
The eyes of Tsuna opened quite widely when the owners of the voices entered the room.
The tallest had dark skin and used what the future mob boss identified as accessories used by the fighters in Muay Thai, who was next to a guy with a similar stature, who had a scar on the bridge of his nose, the next wore traditional clothes, his pupils were almost transparent, the last of the men was the smallest and was using Chinese clothes and a hat hiding his eyes from view, but what really seemed scared to Tsuna was the aura radiated by these individuals, Tsuna felt as if the room had been filled with a strong odor, felt smaller than usual, much like the first time he saw Xanxus, with the only difference that these people did not have a loaded gun pointed at his head Honoka was hung from the shoulder of the first man and Miss Shigure entered next to the man's pupils which were transparent.
"Ooh, he is taller than what I thought.' The man with a scar on his nose commented.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." Greeted the man who had almost transparent pupils.
"Welcome! APA-apa!" The tallest yelled excited.
"This young man seemed really polite." Tsuna heard the smallest master mumbled.
"Masters." Kenichi called their attentions, "this is my cousin, Sawada Tsunayoshi, the small beside him is his tutor, Reborn-san." presented the Shirahama, each of the above-named respectfully bowed their head when their respective names were mentioned.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, a pleasure meeting you." Tsuna greeted with all the calm that he could muster.
"Ciaossu." greeted Reborn.
"Tsuna-kun, these are my masters." Kenichi began to present again, "Because you met the master, Shigure." the above mentioned nodded once, "these are: the quiet and Calculator, an artist, especially in calligraphy, sculpture, traditional Japanese arts, poet, actor and doctor, the master philosopher of jiujitsu, the master Akisame Koetsuji." Kenichi presented with too clear pupils, "despite his appearance and massive strength, this man has the heart of a gentleman, lover of children and protector of the innocent, "The master Karateka of the hundredth Dan"...
'This dan exist?' Tsuna thought.
"… Sakaki Shio!" presented Kenichi the scar man, "The tall and stocky, but with the heart of a child, also has the wonderful ability to understand animals! the "God of the death of the Muay Thai", Apachai Hopachai!"
"APA!" exclaimed the tall man, Honoka, who was hanging from his shoulder, cried along with him.
"The pervert addicted to beautiful women!" continued Kenichi, "loving father and brother! Master of perversion and erotic photos!"
'Ah?' Tsuna was said inside.
"The best teacher in the martial arts Chinese"
'I know someone who would disprove that.' thought Reborn smiling while taking another SIP of his tea.
"Ma Kensei!"
"Maa, maa, Kenichi, you are making us blush." A somewhat embarrassed Sakaki said.
"Haha, Kenichi-kun, flattery won't make your workout easier." Akisame exclaimed calmly.
"It is okay, Ken. I'll give you a coupon for free food in the restaurant of my uncle." He said blushing a little bit while giving his disciple a coupon.
"Apapa! Kenichi admires us!" exclaimed Apachai.
"Ho, ho, ho." a laugh of santa claus, deep and friendly, was heard behind Tsuna.
The future mob boss felt like he saw a body that represented strength itself when he set gaze on the man who was behind him, Tsuna had never felt something like that except for that first time that he came face to face with his ancestor, Giotto, or when he faced the future Hibari.
"Grandfather, welcome back." Miu bowed respectfully, Kenichi followed her movement.
Tsuna and Reborn turned to face the newcomer and... he was huge, his yukata olive green came to his ankles, muscles were shown through the fabric, abundant and long, blonde hair was the same as his beard. Tsuna could not help open slightly his small mouth in astonishment.
"Tsuna-kun, this is the venerable old and Grand Master of the Ryozanpaku, he is also the owner of the place, and the grandfather of Miu-san, he is an expert in all kinds of martial arts and the most powerful man in this world, Furinji Hayato." Kenichi explained
'FurinjiHayato?' Something clicked in the mind of Reborn, everything which he had failed to remember hit him, and recalled the Ryozanpaku name and why it was familiar, as well as the surname Furinji. Slowly a smile was forming on the lips of which was hidden under fedora.
Tsuna felt an shiver through his back as his eyes turned quickly towards your tutor.
'Re-reborn?'The bad feeling of the Chestnut had just triple.
"Great master, this is my cousin, Sawada Tsunayoshi and his tutor, Reborn." Kenichi presented, the mention of his name brought Tsuna back to reality.
"A pleasure, Sir." respectfully Tsuna bowed his head.
"Ciaossu!" Reborn said in a too enthusiastic greeting to Tsuna's liking.
"Ooh, that is a so young tutor." the venerable old master commented casually while playing with his beard, "I bet it's one of those geniuses."
"I can not help but try to deny the truth." Reborn tried to stay humble.
Keyword, tried.
"After all of this, some names sound familiar to me." Reborn continued talking "Akisame Koetsuji-san, are perhaps the writer of history of Japan: the art of our past?" He questioned interested.
"Is it not the book that I read for my review last month?" asked Tsuna to his tutor.
"Ooh, you have read my book?" Akisame was pleasantly surprised that the young boy could understand his work.
"I use several of your writings during my tutorial sessions with Tsuna, its shape is concise and easy to follow, in addition you are really accurate with the dates and forms, the illustrations of your work are also very beautiful." praised Reborn.
"A friend of mine is also a fan of your work, he must have at least five books written by you." added Tsuna remembering their very own Hayato.
Somehow the nerves of Tsuna were calming, these people, despite their obvious strength, had a noble heart and saw that they were like a family, that was enough for Tsuna, but the notorious interest of Reborn did nothing to reassure him.
"Umm, tell me boy." suddenly Ma Kensei stood right beside Tsuna, he was feeling his left arm, as he looked at it, "Do you do some kind of exercise?" he asked not wanting to miss a thing.
"Does escaping from the abusive and enraged dogs counts?" interrupted Reborn, leaving Tsuna with the response in the mouth.
"Reborn!" reprimanded embarrassed Tsuna.
"So just running?" this time, the question came from Akisame, who was behind Tsuna, examining his back.
"Eeh, Yes. In general." replied the younger Brown.
Akisame and Ma shared a look.
Sakaki saw the interaction between his colleagues and then he turned his attention to the two guests, all had felt something strange regarding the guardian, that little one wrapped himself in shadows, his position had no openings and something very dark painted in his eyes. But the truly interesting one was the cousin of Kenichi, usually people jumping in terror seeing for the first time the masters of the Ryozanpaku, but this small and seemingly fragile guy had resisted pressure from their looks, their battle's aura, and he was now comfortably chatting as if nothing abnormal was in front of him, and those eyes, those big brown eyes that seemed to glow golden when the sunlight hit them had a mature light worthy of a general in his old days.
All the Masters thought the same thing.
Then an idea came in the mind of the venerable old man.
"Na, Ken-chan." Which brought the attention of everyone, "Why do we not give Tsu-chan and Reborn-chan a demonstration of your skills?" He proposed.
"That's an excellent idea, Grandmaster!" accepted happily Kenichi wanting to show how strong he had become to his beloved cousin.
"There is no need, I do not want to be a nuisance." spoke Tsuna.
Reborn was still processing something in his head in silence so he did not giveopinion on the matter which began to make Tsuna worry seriously.
"It isn't any trouble, Tsunayoshi-kun. We would love to marvel you with a little of the world of martial arts." calmly explained Akisame.
"Don't worry! You will love it, Tsu-chan!" Honoka applied some pressure on him.
Tsuna look in between each of his cousins and as he saw the emotion on their faces, he did not want to disappoint them.
"Well, I suppose that if it is not too much trouble." In the end Tsuna gave in.
"Well, let's all go to the Dojo! Ken-chan, go to change! Miu, you too!" Ma said while he was standing up.
"Excuse me, Miu-san." Reborn asked the blonde while they were beginning to walk down the aisle, "Could you tell me where is the bathroom?"
Tsuna stopped dry in his steps, why did Reborn want to be alone?
"It is all the way down this Hall, then you go to the left and down." Miu was glad to explain.
"Thank you." replied the guardian as he began to walk the right path.
"Reborn." Tsuna called behind his tutor.
"Quiet, Tsuna. I am not going to break anything." Reborn said calmly.
'With you it is never nothing. He must be up to something.' Thought accusing Tsuna, but even so left him and followed Honoka towards the dojo.
Once he stood alone in the privacy of the bathroom, Reborn told Leon so that he transformed into telephone and then he typed a more than familiar number.
"Hey." spoke Reborn when the person on the other side of the line answered, "You won't believe where I'm on vacation."
Tsuna and the others had already reached the dojo, the future mob boss sat down beside his cousin.
"You are going to hallucinate, Tsu-chan!" promised Honoka.
It was then when Kenichi and Miu entered the dojo, with their casual clothes that they wore a moment ago changed into obis custom which apparently represented the type of martial arts practiced by the two.
"Remember, this is only a demonstration." recalled Akisame, "Miu, I am speaking to you."
The aforesaid nodded.
"Take positions... begin." the master and philosopher said.
The movement was so quick that if Tsuna had blinked, he would have missed it. Miu seemed to take a step forward, but really she took a leap to get to where Kenichi was in less than a millisecond, Kenichi put his arms in front of him cross to block the blow, then use one of his arms to be able to catch Miu, but she slipped through it and continued attacking and attacking Kenichi by his side who was devoted to Dodging and defending himself as best as possible.
Tsuna did not dare to blink, his cousin and that Miss moved like bullets, he was doing his best to followed both movements, inadvertently in account, he was holding his breaths while storm of punches, kicks and jumps drew a beautiful and deadly dance, Tsuna was Spellbound, the movements that were so fluid as a river but still had a lot of force which both fighters showed was harmonious and almost palpable.
"Why Kenichi-kun is not attacking Miss Miu?" asked Reborn appearing suddenly.
But Tsuna was so self-absorbed in the deadly dance in front of him that he didn't noted it.
"I'm afraid that Kenichi in his nobility and morality, has decided that he does not hit any woman, even if they are about to kill him." Akisame replied not taking his eyes off the view of the fight.
"Eeh." It was the intelligent response of Reborn.
'Shirahama Kenichi, the history strongest disciple?' Was the thought circulating in the mind of Reborn.
In the bout, Miu managed to hit a strong kick on the right side of Kenichi and send him flying backwards making him come out of the dojo breaking a wall and impacting against the ground of the courtyard.
"Oni-chan!" snapped Honoka.
Tsuna look amazed every one of the movements of Miu and Kenichi, it was a dance that had been completed and he finally allowed himself to blink and to breath.
What Tsuna didn't know was that the great master was watching him during all that time, Furinji Hayato noted as Tsuna succeeded with a trained eye to follow movements of his granddaughter and his disciple, but what most struck was the characteristic brightness which those eyes had, the venerable old man smiled curious, no doubt that they had found another interesting individual.
While all of them were trying to save Kenichi from the clutches of the shinigami who always seemed to be near him, Tsuna was still sitting, still, trying to soothe all the adrenaline that ran inside, images of the recent fight happening again and again in his head, his intuition told him to run and hide, that place was dangerous, but he could not move. Reborn could feel it and did not blamed his student for it, after all they were in Ryozanpaku, the place where the largest and most powerful masters of martial arts meet, as Fon had told him about the members of that group, however Reborn had not put a lot of attention towards it at the time and had trouble remembering, this was a chance to Golden for Tsuna and of course, for the Neo Vongola.
Kenichi had already returned from following the light of paradise, and together with his teachers, he returned to the dojo.
"So what do you think, Tsuna-kun?" Kenichi asked.
Tsuna reacted to the mention of his name with a hop and gave all his attention to his cousin, sweat decorated his forehead.
"Intense." honestly responded the Brown-eyed boy.
"Na, Tsu-chan." the ancient master of Ryozanpaku declared, another idea forming in his mind. "Since you are staying here throughout the summer, would you like to be a temporary disciple here at Ryozanpaku?" the huge old man asked really interested.
That definitely got hooked the attention of everyone present.
Kenichi and Honoka felt as their soul left the ground, Reborn smiled pleased, it seemed that he should not need to meddle, Miu looked amazed at his grandfather, the Masters regarded him as if understanding his intention and Tsuna look at the huge man with a mixture of uncertainty and anxiety in his pupils…
"B-good, I..."
"It is clear that he accepts." interrupted Reborn.
"Eeh?" exclaimed Tsuna.
"Then the training starts tomorrow. As he will be a temporary disciple, we will charge only half of the inscription." The old man accepted the answer as a answer of the teenager.
"Eeeh?" Tsuna returned to exclaim scandalized.
"Perfect." Reborn agreed with the terms.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?" exclaimed the shocked Tsuna, Kenichi and Honoka.
Meanwhile, in their respective vacation places, all guardians and close friends of certain brown-haired future mafia boss felt a shiver go through their back.
