7 months after resolving the Arcobaleno's curse, Tsuna finds himself succeeding as the Neo-Vongola Primo. On his way to realizing his will, he would have to resolve problems that they will face in the future. This is a story of the 10th generation's Vongola family facing problems 25 years in the future; a story in which the characters evolve through adventure, love and memories.
It was around 4 in the morning when I woke up with Reborn's wake-up call. I quickly dressed up and followed him outside for the usual training regime he proposed. As usual, I saw Gokudera and Yamamoto in front of our house who both agreed to train with me. I can't believe this training… it sucks up all the energy I've been storing from my sleep.
"Dame-Tsuna, keep up with the pace or jog the whole of Namimori 100 times!" Reborn shouted.
"Reborn, I thought we'll be having a break from this training today? Come on, it's a weekend"
"Weekend or not, you need to train besides the event where you'll succeed as Neo-Vongola Primo is just around the corner so stop complaining and jog."
"Don't worry Boss, I'll make sure that you'll be able to succeed the Vongola safely."
"Yeah Tsuna, this time, I'll be able to attend the succession event."
"Hey, don't go ahead of yourself Yamamoto!"
The succession… Neo-Vongola Primo… All I want is a normal life; well in my case, I guess the mafia is already a part of the 'normal' world I'm in right now. It's been 7 months after that faithful battle, the arcobalenos are already freed from their curse and I could see that they're slowly growing. I'm relieved we're back in the normal and somewhat peaceful days; it makes me want to believe that there would be no life-threatening battles in the near future.
"Don't get too sentimental, Dame-Tsuna. You can't be sure, there still are many people that would assassinate you in order to get their hands on the Vongola family."
"Re-reborn, stop reading my mind, besides, I don't plan on succeeding the Vongola"
"You're still saying that? No matter what you do, you're already involved and seen as the true successor of Vongola. Enough of your usual complains, better hurry if you still want to eat your share in breakfast."
"Ah, wait up, Reborn!"
I ran after Reborn and was startled to see a lot of men in black suits. They greeted me and as usual I still shiver in their presence; yes, they are Dino-san's men. I entered my house and saw Dino together with Romario eating breakfast.
"Oh, how are you doing, Tsuna?"
"I-I'm fine, Dino-san. By the way, what are you doing here in Japan?"
"I'll tell you my business after we eat breakfast. Your Mom is really good at cooking, huh?" Dino-san really loves my Mom's cooking, he wouldn't even let me disturb him eat.
"Ah, yeah. Umm, where's Yamamoto and Gokudera?"
"Tsuna-ni they're at your room, Lambo and Gokudera-ni are fighting the last time I checked. Yamamoto-ni is trying his best to calm Gokudera-ni."
"Thanks, Fuuta. Mom, I'll bring some food upstairs for them."
"Oh, okay. Just come back if you need more food, okay?"
They're already fighting so early in the morning… how are they always flaring up with energy? When I opened the door, I saw an adult Lambo, and a kid-version of Gokudera and Yamamoto.
"W-What happened here?"
"Oh, young Vongola, I'm busy cleaning the bathroom when I was suddenly transported here"
"B-Boss, it's been 10 minutes already"
"Oh, it's Gokudera's brother. Nice to meet you, I'm Yamamoto Takeshi. Last time I saw you you're smaller than me, now we have the same height already."
Yamamoto did not realize he's in the same state as Gokudera is in right now. How tiring could this morning go?
"A-anyway, Adult-Lambo, where's the bazooka?"
"I don't know young Vongola. It's not in your room."
"What? Are you sure? Did any of you saw Giannini-san drop by?"
"No boss. I remembered quarrelling with the stupid cow and that he did not use the bazooka"
"T-that could not happen right? I mean Giannini-san would have added a lot of fail improvements in the bazooka that's why you all turned like this, right? A-anyway, I'll ask Reborn"
Why aren't they changing to their normal forms? And… they did not use the bazooka? Something must've happened with the shift in time. I think I need to ask Irie-san about this just to make sure everything's okay.
"R-Reborn, did Giannini-san dropped by last night or just this morning?"
"No. He didn't. What's the matter?"
"Gokudera and Yamamoto were turned into-"
"Boss! We're already okay! The moment you walked out of the door we returned to our normal selves"
"H-huh? Did you found out where the bazooka is?"
"It's sticking out of the stupid cow's head when he returned to his normal self."
"M-mama! What's for breakfast?" Lambo said while dashing to his seat.
"Oh, you're late Lambo. Here, eat your fill."
That's strange… I think I really need to ask Irie-san about this.
"Dame-Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, eat your breakfast upstairs. Dino-san would have something to discuss with you three."
"Oh, okay. How about you, Reborn?"
"I already know the details. You need to listen well since you're the reason why Vongola's the ultimate head of the mafia world."
"W-What? I don't have a-anything to do with the Vongola, right?"
"Come on, Tsuna, let's go upstairs. You don't want your Mom to ask you about this Vongola and mafia thing, right?"
"R-right!" I nearly forgot! I even mentioned the bazooka and Vongola so loud, I hope she didn't hear a thing…
"Tsuna there are still a lot of food left so just come back here for seconds, okay?"
"O-okay Mom!" What a relief! She didn't mind those words at all… Dino-san then asked Romario to stay there with Reborn in order to discuss… in order to d-discuss… I felt my stomach turn. I lost my appetite already. Why me? What does the Vongola being the 'ultimate head' got something to do with me? All I did was fight battles to save my friends. Well… they're my friends who happened to be in the Vongola, but still… I don't know exactly what's going on.
"D-Dino-san, what are we going to talk about?" I asked nervously.
"Oh, loosen-up Tsuna. It's not that scary, Reborn just teased you awhile back" he said with a reassuring smile.
"O-okay. So, what is it?"
"I've been sent here by the Ninth to inform you that the Vongola is now in the center of a very big alliance. The mafia groups allied with the family sees the Vongola as their superior, making you the successor to a much bigger Vongola. This is the document signed by each head of the families who agreed to it." I could see Dino-san's eyes sparkle as he stated this 'good news'
"T-That's great Boss! You've gained much respect!" And Gokudera's eyes sparkled even more.
"Amazing, Tsuna! You do have many friends." Yamamoto then blurted out something out of the ordinary… Friends? Well, most of them are my friends but still…
"Yamamoto, I think you're missing the point here… besides, hearing about this news gave me goose bumps." I can't help but say this to break the 'sparkly' atmosphere… it's not helping me at all.
"Yamamoto's quite right, Tsuna. Most of the people who signed here are close to you." I already know that Dino-san but… even though they're close to me, it doesn't change the fact that they're really expecting me to succeed the Vongola. And… I don't plan on succeeding it!
"So… the only needed signature in this document is the CEDEF advisor's and yours." Dino-san said with a more serious tone.
"He isn't here, Dino-san. You should've asked Lal to deliver it to him." I replied with disgust present in my face and tone.
"Actually, Tsuna, he said he'll be coming home by this week. Anyway, I'll leave this document with Reborn… it seems you need a lot more time to think whether you'll agree to this or not."
It was after lunch when Dino-san and his men bid farewell. Gokudera and Yamamoto also returned to their homes. I, on the other hand, was busy contemplating on what I need to do. Before Dino-san left, he told me that the succession event would be held 3 days from now. He told me that I need not to pressure myself when it comes to these things, still… I could see that he also expects me to accept it. Reborn said that I'm the one responsible for the formation of the alliance; does that mean that if I refuse, this alliance would break and cause a ruckus in the mafia world? Ugh, all this thinking makes me feel worse. I hope I could talk these things with Enma, he would know what to give as an advice. A phone call then broke my concentration…
"Tsuna, please anwer the phone. I'm busy doing the laundry."
"Y-Yes Mom, coming! Umm… hello?"
"Tsuna-san. This is Irie, I need to talk to you"
"O-oh, good-timing, I also need to talk to you about something."
"Can I go first?"
"Okay"
"I was checking the space of Namimori when I recorded 2 abnormal distortions. I'm not still sure with the exact places though." Hmmm… could this be connected to what happened this morning?
"Irie-san, when did you found out about this?"
"I'm not sure with the time, but it was just this morning. Why do you ask?"
"Well, it's because Adult-Lambo came out of nowhere while Gokudera and Yamamoto changed to their kid-versions. They said that they did not use the bazooka for this"
"There's a high chance that the two events are related knowing that it includes the shift of time but I'll just continue monitoring about this matter just in case."
"Oh, thanks Irie-san" I feel somewhat uneasy about this time shift cases…
"But, Tsuna-san, there's more… I'm not sure about this but I think two life forms from a different time period were transported here in the present Namimori because of the distortions."
"Don't tell me it's the future Byakuran who came here?!"
"No, Tsuna-san. Based from my readings they're about the same age as we are. Wait, I received Spanner's data, I'll call you back." This can't be good. I hope my intuition is wrong.
Tsuna was really bothered by what he just heard from Irie. Later that day, a 14-year old girl with blond hair came knocking at Sawada's residence.
