Uncertainty
Tsuna came home after sulking at Hibari's house.
'Welcome back, Tsu-kun~' Nana said cheerfully, oblivious at the darkness within her son who still looked...well...stony.
I-Pin and Fuuta looked worried with his expression while Lambo was as oblivious as ever while Reborn wondered what happened after he ran off.
After he left, Dino ran after him after Hibari dropped the bomb on them, and Dino wouldn't say why out of trust and he won't break it because if he did, Tsuna would hate him like how he hates the Ninth and his Father and Dino couldn't bear to lose Tsuna. So he backed off.
After Tsuna left was a disaster.
The revelation of his childhood and the fact that they nearly lost their last pure heir due to their own fault leading to Tsuna committing suicide if not for Hibari gave Nono Cardiac Arrest out of shock, Organ Failure aside so he really had to be rushed.
Not only that, Yamamoto who tried to commit suicide once was in hysterical panic when he learned Tsuna tried to commit suicide before he had to be calmed down and Ryohei mercifully knocked him out and Xanxus looked way too smug that Vongola men aren't really good fathers, further emotionally crushing the shocked man as it was.
He re-evaluated his student on that day too.
Tsuna does well in school, and possesses powerful flames.
But he was also a perpetually solemn and melancholic person thus the data he had beforehand were solely Iemitsu's self-imagined delusions and outdated information and it went into the bin.
He also has a well-trained body and Tsuna claims he trains in self-defense and building-up 'a little muscle'.
A little, his ass.
His muscles are lean, but well-built, still giving him a slender body and he favors long-sleeved shirts to hide his muscles. His muscles are way too good for his age but not pronounced like Ryohei's.
He claims he 'made his own style' when he asked to show him his fighting ability in a fight. Granted, he executed his techniques well and he was very fast and agile, but clearly has no experience fighting so they sparred until Gokudera came. But what a style! Its perfectly...made for assassination that nearly killed Mukuro when they fought. It was a one-sided fight as it also revealed how physically powerful he really is against someone below Arcobaleno levels Gokudera went fanboy on him and asked to be taught which Tsuna did, but made him condition first. However, Tsuna never kills. He just beats.
'I'm not a killer. I only fight because you make me to.' he would say. 'Otherwise I'm OK with leaving you alone if you leave me alone.' and he doesn't care what anybody's doing since its their business nor does he care that Mukuro hates the Mafia since his hatred was justified. Its not like he asked to be a guinea pig against his will in an attempt to be a human bio-weapon. However, what Tsuna cares about is that he gave his best friend and friends 'great trouble' retribution must certainly be warranted before letting him go...and even asked the Vindice to talk to Mukuro about the Estraneo that led to his actions that led to him believing all Mafia are like them and seeing many children die in horrifying ways 'for the glory of the family' certainly didn't help matters and their motivation for revenge.
His WW3 scenario must mean 'expose all mafia to the world' to get all international organizations to aim their guns at any mafioso and kill them all and leave no mafioso alive which was his ideal world so no experimentations will happen anymore. Has it occurred to Mukuro that stuff like Unit 731 decades back and other countries did something far worse in secret? Well, that was how small his world was along with that of his fellow survivors and cohorts. He has never known decent mafia existed.
Due to this, Mukuro was in a more secure facility because they grilled him good on Tsuna's behest about his past and what was done that motivated him to kill many famiglia with extreme prejudice. But as Mukuro and Chikusa are half-way done before Mukuro decided 'to hell with them all', even they had no idea what they were supposed to be while Ken was a 'finished product', being a Shapeshifter with Nanomachines created and treated with Sun Flames, triggered by his animal dentures that he wears.
But there were hints to Chikusa's experimentations. He was being genetically altered to the cellular level for who-knows-what that gave him incredible reflexes and reaction-time, while Mukuro's situation made him experience his own 'death' in a bid to change his flames while injecting in him Cloud Flames which was why for a Mist when Mists normally have weak bodies, he was unusually strong and durable. He has strong bones beyond human possibility he would never suffer anything to his bones while growing up. They would never break from injury, and never naturally break down through biological factors either.
When these facts were known, the community shook that Rokudo Mukuro, the lead killer of ten mafia famiglias in a brutal slaughter, is just a sixteen year old messed-up teenager bent on bloody revenge in the bloodiest way possible due to their shared beliefs.
All things considered, the teens have 'extenuating circumstances' but still on maximum security prisons and in separate cells so they can't jail break with Mukuro being on the topmost floor being the most dangerous and Chikusa being on the lowest levels with Ken being the closest to the first floor where the surface was.
But he could still mind-walk...leading to him recruiting Chrome, and CEDEF bargaining for Mukuro's cooperation as Tsuna's Mist Guardian in exchange for Ken and Chikusa being on parole...but of course, one slip and they'll be back in with Mukuro still cooperating which is why Chrome lives with the pair in Kokuyo Land and tasked to 'teach the pair' about the world and Mukuro will learn through her as well.
Back to the topic of Tsuna, he turned out to possess a hidden anger towards the town itself who wasn't Hibari. He is angry with his own mother but hides his hostility well...and only saved Yamamoto because Reborn 'ordered' him to when he had no intention because 'why should he when nobody saved him when he needed it most while enduring cruelty of peers?' and Yamamoto has no idea of his true feelings at all even though he stuck by Tsuna, thinking he cares! He also doesn't care for Lambo whose attitude represented what he put up with from his bullies, the attitude of a self-entitled, self-centered egoistic personality but when 'dealt with', they're in fact, super-weak, weaker than he and it showed when he can finally retaliate after two years of being bullied horribly.
Reborn knew he had lots to work on as a result when he asked Tsuna of his past because to Tsuna, any Namimori Resident can just go hang for all he cared which was antithesis to his best friend's feelings of protecting the town because he claimed it as territory. And upon learning who sealed him not long ago his hate-list now included his predecessor and his own father...and the people he hated most was his own family. Hibari and to an extent, I-Pin and Fuuta were who he cared for and he only cares about them, Gokudera earned his trust and his 'good side', Dino was the first adult to treat him well and he admitted that so blatantly that cued raised eyebrows of the Cavallone and Reborn himself, and treats Chrome well simply because he sees himself in her due to her eyes and she was a nice girl and NOT a Namimori Citizen, being from Tokyo before coming here.
A total of six people.
To be honest, Reborn was nervous due to the Sky Ring.
The final battle is still on.
Tsuna revealed his true fighting capability, never relying on his flames offensively, solely for supportive purposes.
However, when he defeated Xanxus...
'...I heard you were on ice for a couple years.' said Tsuna. 'This means you fought me not at your best. I consider this fight a no-game so give the stupid ring to that fucking old shit.' he said as he made the ring whole again.
'Er, you're supposed to wear it to cement your victory...' the Cervello told him.
'Don't want it, so give it back to that dumb fuck.' and Tsuna turned and never looked back, making Reborn sigh and take the ring, and snuck it on Tsuna when he's in sleep.
Understandably, Tsuna was furious with him when he saw it on his hand and chucked the ring at his face but of course, he caught it.
Reconciliation is a long way to go.

'...so that's what happened.' said Reborn to Timoteo in hospital, holding the ring in his hand. 'You and Iemitsu messed up. Big time.' he said as in the man's private room, was his guardian family and the advisor himself. 'He refused to accept the ring and threw it at my face, and his hatred is deeper than before. He hates this town and everyone who wasn't Hibari, Gokudera, I-Pin and Fuuta in it. His hatred towards his own parents was even deeper. But at least, upon wearing the ring for the whole night, his time is engraved...and if we sought the Arcobaleno, we may be able to meet Primo for what to do regarding the only heir we have left...assuming he doesn't commit suicide to spite the Vongola.'
'I can't believe it...but we did it for his own good...' Iemitsu lamented.
'It backfired and who gave you the idea to seal flames in the first place, dumbass?' Reborn sneered. 'Skies are Harmony. Disrupt that harmony and you get Tsuna's childhood post-sealing until another passing-by Sky took pity on him and must be the one who 'saved' him since he reveres this person. Your wife's attitude was of no help and no use when your son needs her most and ironically, its that personality you banked on so she trusts you and your so-called jobs and never asks, the perfect obedient, airheaded, clueless wife even you admit she was.' Iemitsu flinched. 'Xanxus sealed the deal that Vongola men are no-good fathers. While I can see that in Iemitsu,' he said to Iemitsu's indignation, 'I fail to see that until I get a detailed explanation, Nono.'
'...I adopted him from a mentally-ill woman who was his mother who claimed he was my son because he has the Flames of Wrath, the power of Secondo.' said Timoteo softly. 'How she got that logic was anyone's guess, but to protect the boy from her who also thought I was his father due to her claims...I took him in and raised him with my other sons.' he told him. 'Xanxus was loyal to Vongola, passionately so, but also very spoiled and demanded perfection in others, moreso with himself and harder on himself as he hoped to inherit Vongola with great support...until somehow, he found my diary...leading to the Cradle Affair.'
'Ah, that explains it. He saw the diary as ultimate betrayal.' Reborn quipped. 'Basically you strung him along for years, never correcting him for years, hid the truth from him and boom. His world crashed down, all his work and passion for nothing.' he said, snapping his fingers for emphasis. 'And with him possessing Secondo's bloodline, a bad mix of temper included in the package and him being frozen. Had you told him the truth when you took him from his mother, this would never have happened.' he reprimanded.
'Now I'm at a loss. Tsuna is a walking mass of hatred and grudge. He only cares for six people in his life and this, is to be Decimo?' he asked incredulously. 'We need a damn miracle and Primo. He'd probably rather work for Dino than inherit since he genuinely likes Dino.' he said. 'Ever since that night after returning from sulking in Hibari's house, he became hostile to me too when for a year and half, we have a good professional relationship.'
'...'
'I'll go talk to him.' Iemitsu decided.
'Bad idea.'
'Why?!'
'The fighting style he uses, is perfectly suitable for assassination and he will do well in the trade, even Xanxus praised his style.' said Reborn grimly. 'He is very good at it after I sparred with him for months and strong enough to defeat Xanxus without relying on his flames offensively, merely using it to fly around and that's it. He never even used the Zero-Point Breakthrough. If he sees you, he will not hesitate even if you're in front of your wife as he no longer considers her his mother.'
That last bit horrified him.
'I also consulted Ranking Fuuta.' Reborn then took something out of his coat. 'Care to explain this?' and he showed it for all men to see.

The famiglia choked.
'Twin sister...eh?' Reborn growled. 'You obviously gave away Juna, and with her Eidetic Memory led her back here, somehow discovered her powers or adopted by those who knew she has Sky Flames and unsealed her brother after he met Hibari. Does your clueless wonder of a wife in on this?' he snarked, but it was Bouche who answered because Iemitsu's voice failed him for a minute.
'No...we made her forget. As far as Nana-san is concerned, she only has a son.' said Bouche. 'On their request because of what happens to most daughters of Mafia Dons and Juna is too valuable to fall into their hands. Better a civilian family than a Mafia Family.' he said. 'After six years, we learned she was adopted and tracked her down, adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo with no mafia connection whatsoever. Satisfied with her situation, we left it as is.' he said. 'But as a child, she was weak in her powers while Tsunayoshi has powerful manifestations so we didn't seal her after birth. But to think she grew strong in later years...and she knows what was talked about at her birth that she basically rushed to find her brother, fix him and leave...'
'Talk about dedication there huh?' Ganauche commented. 'Well, we screwed up big time and well, a kid fixed our messes but Tsunayoshi is an emotional mess...and its up for debate if he knows she's his sister or not or if she fixed him secretly because she knows she has no home to go back to here...'
'That's even worse.' Reborn swore. 'If Tsuna finds out he has a sister chucked out for convenience, his respect for Nono and Iemitsu will be gone with the wind. You mean well but execution is utter failure. Clearly you're not blessed with Hyper Intuition unlike Tsuna who has it in spades.' he grunted, making the two Vongolas balk. 'Look at the spectacular messes named Xanxus and Tsuna. The only one who can convince him now, is Primo and reason with him. Not only that, Hibari, Gokudera and Chrome are the only Guardians he cares about. Yamamoto, Sasagawa and Lambo could die for all he cared simply because they're Namimori Citizens and to him, Namimori Citizens represented his darkest days and nobody lifted a finger to do the right thing while Lambo's personality reminded him of his worst bullies in school, only, the brat is no bully but his attitude and Nana indulging him in his whims isn't helping matters. Hibari was exempt from his anger because his family just moved in when Tsuna tried to end his life years ago. He wasn't a Namimori Citizen at the time then.'
'...Bouche, I need to know what happened in the years Tsuna was sealed.' Iemitsu asked the former Mist Guardian. 'I need to know Nana's memories which is why Tsuna hates her. This is just all wrong...'
'That's your fault to begin with.' Reborn injected harshly. 'Had you two never come up with sealing Tsuna, he could have lived a normal happy life before we dropped mafiahood on him. Ideal childhood my ass when you told me the specifics, does our situation look ideal to you?'

For Dino who did the DNA Testing in Tokyo, he had to wait days for the results to come out.
Indeed, Juna and Tsuna are twins...and he came to see her in Tokyo.
He waited for her at around dismissal time as Juna is the Student Council President thus very busy.
He wanted to talk to her before she goes home. He had agents watch her routine so he could talk to her.
Most rich students would have a carpool but she never used a carpool, preferring the hard way home.
When she came out, he greeted her.
'Yo, Juna!' he called out.
'Carlos-san.' she greeted him using a false name.
'Whoa Juna, who's he?!'
'He's gorgeous!'
'Is he your boyfriend?!'
'Ehhh no, he's my cousin.' Juna lied with a cheerful smile on her face making Dino and Romario sweatdrop.
'No way!' another girl protested.
'He's like 1/8 Japanese and the rest of him Italian so he really doesn't look one-bit Japanese...he's here to pick me up because of a special occasion in his grandma's place.' Juna explained. 'I gotta go.' bidding her friends goodbye, and entered the limo.
'Cousin eh?' said Dino sheepishly as they drove off.
'Well, Tsuna told me everything...like how you're the only adult he likes in the world.' said Juna. 'Can I count on you guys to make convincing photoshopped photos of a supposed family party because I don't want to be mistaken for being into Enjo Kosai despite my age? Jealous girls can come up with wacky things out of spite and even I can admit oniisan here is good-looking.'
'We'll help you out Juna-san but for now, we'll take you to our hotel for the time being.' said Romario. 'Its about the findings and...well...this is awkward.'
'Well, drama never runs out in the mafia don't they~?'
