A/N: Yess! An update! Haha, anyway I don't really have any thing to inform you guys -I'm just stalling you from reading this chapter. Whoa, wait no throwing please! Just go read ahead.

Sawada Household: 0300

All the occupants of the household are all sleeping, enjoying their dreams, all but one person...

Sawada Tsunayoshi, stared at his ceiling arms resting behind his head and body all cozed up in blankets, despite the comfortable chill of his pillow the brunet still kept awake. His mind was a chaos and he was trying to remember each events that happened recently, from the moment he stepped inside the Namimori Middle until he entered his room. He didn't remember anything significant nor strange in the past 9 hours.

"Gah!" Tsuna quietly exclaimed in frustration, he stopped as soon as he started and glances at the sleeping toddler in his room. The brunet gave out a sigh of relief as he saw Reborn still asleep, bubble blowing out of his nose and onyx eyes opened wide.

He sat up straight and stared at the night sky over the tree in his backyard - wait, tree! That's it!

He remembered the feeling of being watched during the fight, there was someone in that tree, someone just in plain sight but still invisible to the eyes... Is it the same tech that Verde used? No, that can't be it, Reborn didn't see anyone since he was a toddler. And also the shadow, there was something hiding in there, he just know it, it just doesn't make any sense! How can someone be hiding in a shadow? That was just too weird, even for Mafia standards.

Tsuna slapped his head in frustration and lied down again, the Battle for the Ring of Rain ended in Yamamoto's defeat and the information was half sunk in his mind. The first half is the hopelessly faithful part, is telling him that it was Yamamoto the happy-go-lucky teen that can lift the spirit of everyone in the room. While the latter part, his rational mind is telling him that no teenage boy can defeat a man whose experienced in the first place, even if they have the beginner's luck. That was a fight, not a spar nor a skirmish. Tsuna was just glad that Yamamoto was safe when they found him.

Speaking of, when they retrieved their Rain Guardian there was something off, something unusual...

Flashback.

BOOM!

Explosions took off after one another as the members of the Cavallone Famiglia take cover. It took 5 minutes for the preparation of the bombs, double checking the right place to put the explosives in order to not completely demolish the building -and nobody wants to see a demolished building the next day, nor rebuild the whole thing over night- and another 5 minutes to let the water flush out. They need to be quick, the wounds Yamamoto received might be critical and not to mention the shark.

Immediately the water surged out, the Cavallone men and the Vongola group watched on stand by as the water quickly drained and as soon the the water subsided they immediately rushed in. Medics and Cervello members went in first quickly followed by the Vongola group.

They took time to find the unconscious raven and was relieved to see that he has fallen on a high platform. The medics from the Cavallone climbed up and hastily assessed the raven's health.

"He's fine!" one of the medics shouted, getting relieved and confused expressions.

Reborn jumped out of Dino's shoulder and landed beside the medic, seeing the damage himself.

'Hmm... That can't be possible, the wounds are already cleaned and are nearly half healed. The right eye was already cleaned of the stone and... Not even a spec of water was in the clothes?' Reborn frowned. There was clearly someone here, he crossed out the Varia since they left Yamamoto here in the first place, the Cervello was neutral...then that means Tsuna's intuition was right, there was an intruder. He was cut off of his musings as the teens arrived.

"Yamamoto!" the group chorused.

'Reborn?' Tsuna thought as he saw the serious look the toddler has.

"Calm down. Your friend is already stabilized and thankfully, he was not drowned." The medic explained. "Some first aid and a night's rest and he will be good to go." He added as he began dressing the wounds.

"Reborn, where are you going?" Tsuna asked quietly as he saw the toddler slip away from the crowd.

"I'm going to make a call." the toddler lied, and continued to go deeper into the building.

Tsuna looked at his tutor oddly, he knew the gun wielding kid was lying but he didn't call on it. The brunet looked back at his unconscious friend and gave out a deep sigh. He was glad that Yamamoto survived, that was the close call.

"Ugh.." the soft pained voice of Yamamoto silently echoed and the group was once again huddled around the teen.

"Are you extremely alright Yamamoto?!" Rhoyei asked, his voice was louder than the others.

"Ow... Ahaha, can you tone it guys down? I'm a bit dizzy right now." the now awake teen replied.

"I'm extremely sorry!" Ryohei replied a bit lower, but still loud for the raven's taste.

"You stupid lawn head! The baseball idiot said to tone it down." Gokudera scolded at a much lower tone.

"Maa, maa. Guys give him a break he just came to consciousness." Dino's voice said on a much softer tone, silencing the crowd.

Yamamoto nodded in thanks and the blond boss gave a smile.

"I'm glad you're alright Yamamoto." Tsuna said, gaining the attention of the tall teen.

Brown eyes met amber and the eye contact was immediately cut off as Yamamoto quickly looked aside, as a guilty look marred his face.

"I-I'm sorry Tsuna, I let you down." the tall teen apologized.

"A-ah, you don't n-need to say t-that. I don't care if the ring was-." Tsuna began but was cut off when Yamamoto interrupted.

"But I-"

"No buts!" Tsuna shouted in a rarely shown temper. "I don't care if the stupid ring was won by Varia or even stolen by some ninja! All I care is that you survived and we still have our friend. This battle is dangerous and that's why I don't want any of you fighting in this shit! If Xanxus was not such dangerous person then I would gladly give the title to him, and let you all out this mess!"

Tsuna panted as he let out his frustration in his words, getting surprised faces from his friends and a raised eyebrow from Dino.

"It's not that easy Dame-Tsuna." Reborn's squeaky voice echoed getting the attention of the group towards him.

"I-I know that." Tsuna replied in a defeated tone as he watched the toddler holding a bokken.

"Here Yamamoto." Reborn said as he threw the object.

"Thanks kid." Yamamoto replied as he caught his bokken.

"You did well in the fight against Squalo, Yamamoto." Reborn said.

"Yeah, but it wasn't enough, next time I'll defeat him for sure." the tall teen replied, a determine glint in his eyes.

Reborn smiled at the teen's drive and stared all of the guardians. "We're tied with the Varia, two wins and two losses. We need to win the next battle and defeat is not an option."

"Reborn-dono, may I ask who's fighting the next battle?" Basil asked, they were occupied by Yamamoto's defeat that they haven't heard the announcement of the next battle.

"It's the Battle for the Ring of Mist." Reborn replied.

"Then it's Chrome's turn..." Tsuna murmured as he remembered the timid girl they met a day after the Ring Battles were announced.

Reborn nodded. "Let's go home now. You three still need to go to school tomorrow."

"Ehh, but it's Friday!" Tsuna complained and was rewarded by a kick in the head.

"And a school day." Reborn replied strictly. "Your attendance is low enough since you only go to school in the mornings and your finals will be in the next two weeks. Do you want to have a cramming before exams?" the toddler added with an evil smirk.

The brunet immediately shook his head in negative.

"That goes for you two as well." Reborn said looking at Yamamoto and Gokudera.

"Hai!" the two replied with a salute.

Flashback end.

"Ow!..." Tsuna exclaimed as he felt something hit his head. He picked up the offending object and saw that it was a rubber bullet. He swiveled his head towards his tutor and found the toddler holding a gun with a silencer.

"Reborn!" the brunet silently exclaimed in exasperation.

"Just shut up and sleep Dame-Tsuna." Reborn ordered. "School will start in 3 hours and you haven't slept a wink after the Rain Battle."

"Jeez, you didn't need to hit me with a rubber bullet." Tsuna replied and got the feeling that Reborn was smirking despite not giving out an expression.

"I feel like it." Reborn replied, and got a sigh from his student. "Sleep now we have a long day tomorrow."

The brunet nodded as he reached for his blanket and covered his torso, he rested his head on his pillow and back towards his tutor, however sleep was not nearing his mind. "Ne, Reborn...have you found something unusual after the fight?"

Tsuna waited for a reply, but was not answered. He gave out another sigh and closed his eyes, Reborn might be sleeping already for all he knows.

Contradictory to what the brunet believed, Reborn is still awake and the toddler was lost in his musings.

Reborn did found something after the fight and it was a very small detail. The toddler had found a scratch mark on one of the support beams at the very top. It was three inches deep and two inches in length. It was as if something was embedded in the concrete. The toddler disregard the thought that it happened during the Rain battle. The height of the scratch was too high for for any of the sword to reach and besides the fight between Yamamoto and Squalo was on ground level, he saw the fight and he was 100% sure that none of the fighters manage to make that kind of mark. Reborn did not have any doubt that someone had infiltrated the Rain battle, and possibly the previous one too, if Tsuna's intuition has anything to say.

He watched his student slumber with a critical eye. Speaking of Tsuna.

The brunet was progressing in his training, always had that determined air around him but it will be not enough for the upcoming battle against Xanxus. Reborn must admit that he is worried about the outcome of the future Sky Battle. He needs to level up the brunet's training starting today.

The toddler blinked as he saw the sky lighten up in arrival of the sun, he jumped off of his hammock and quietly slipped away. The training can wait for another thirty minutes, his morning espresso awaits.

Transfer Student's Residence: 0430

"YOUTH!" the resident taijutsu specialist screamed as he banged the doors of his blond friend. "Naruto-san! Wake up! We need to show our youth to the world!"

A loud groan echoed from the room, but Lee continued to bang his fist, further waking up the household.

"Shut up!" a shout scolded, followed by a loud thud.

Lee looked crossed eyed as the sharp end of a kunai stuck out of the door. The sharp end was a hairline away from his nose. "But Naruto-kun! We had a youthful deal!" Lee reasoned and stopped banging his friend's door, slightly wary of the the weapon.

A loud groan echoed inside and followed by a sigh. "Okay, I'm up, I'm up." Lee heard a loud yawn inside. "Just give me a minute."

Naruto stifles a yawn as he slowly stood up and began to stretch his limbs. He arrived at two in the morning after watching the conclusion of the battle and the reconstruction of the building, he was impressed at the speed of the Cervello to renovate the whole building in 4 hours although it might be the whole army of construction workers they hired. He sent a clone to follow the Vongola contingent while Shikamaru followed the Varia.

At 0230 they arrived at home and shared what info they gathered, and when the time they decide who will write the report neither of the two was willing, they were tired and restless. In the end they decided to do rock, paper, scissors, and unsurprisingly Naruto won, his lucky streak when in came to gambling always paid off in these situations.

The blond grabbed his navy blue sweat pants and his burnt orange long sleeves, and changed into them. He opened his door, pulling out the lodged kunai and sealed it in one of his temporary tattoos. The blond blinked as he was met with a yawning figure of Shikamaru who was holding a folder.

"Yo." Naruto greeted, and grinned when he saw the Nara heir glare at him.

"Here's the report, send it to Kakashi-san via summoning." The lazy genius said giving the folder to the blonde.

Naruto carefully took their report and eyed the thickness of it. "You didn't sleep?"

"What do you think?" Shikamaru asked sarcastically. "I'm getting some shut eye now. Don't be late for breakfast we're going to school later. Oh and Kakashi-san relayed a message and it's on the counter."

Naruto shrugged as he watched his sleepy comrade went back to his room. He bit his thumb drawing out blood and began making hand seals at a very fast pace. He finished it with a slam on the floor and not a second later a puff of smoke erupted and a small kit came into existence.

"Yo, Kuro." Naruto greeted the fox.

"What is it Naruto-kun?" the kit asked with an excited voice, he was the first summon Naruto called and the blond took a liking to the odd kit.

Kuro, was very different from an ordinary fox. Instead of the regular reddish fur and black bushy tail of his species, his fur color was inverted, his having a slick black fur and fiery red bushy tail.

"I need you to send this to Kakashi-nii." Naruto said as he sealed their report in a scroll and handed the object to the fox.

"Sure thing." Kuro said as he bit the scroll and went to do his mission, his specialty was infiltration when he's partnered with Naruto on some missions and his odd color helped when it comes to darkness.

"Oh, by the way." Naruto said stopping the fox from it's track. "We're undercover, so no talking and don't be seen if possible. And tell Kakashi-nii I said hi."

Kuro nodded and disappeared from sight.

Naruto waved and went down to the kitchen and saw Lee doing push-ups near the counter. He was wearing a dark green track suit and his orange leg warmers. The blond shook his head and opened the fridge getting his bottled water. He picked up the scroll on the counter and read the coded message inside.

The blond eyed the message, he gave out a sigh and thought about the pros and cons of their order. "Oi, Lee did you finish reading this?" he asked the green clad teen.

"Yup!" Lee replied, and saw Naruto burning the scroll in his peripheral vision. The blond unsealed a scroll from one of his temporary tattoos and put it near the fridge, he then wrote a note on the fridge.

"What's that Naruto-kun?" Lee asked.

"Just something for lunch." The blond replied with a grin.

"Let's go Lee, first one to the park wins." Naruto challenged and as soon as they exited the gate the two began running at full speed. Not bothering to hide their speed since the whole residential area is still asleep.

The two blurred around the area, jumping on gates and walls, keeping distance from any security cameras in their way, Naruto even added some parkour moves to add some difficulty in their run, seeing this his wide eyed friend copied him and the two continued their race. Their house was half a kilometer away from the park, but the two created their own route which tripled their distance from the park. They were three hundred meters away from their destination when a gunshot rang in the air, echoing in the early morning wind.

"They're early today..." Naruto muttered glancing at his opponent, who ignored the gunshot, and is gaining speed.

"Shit." Naruto cursed in English as they have reached the 100 meter mark. He sped up and was head to head with Lee.

50 meters away, Naruto got the lead.

40 meters away, Lee jumped ahead.

25 meters away, Naruto was an inch ahead of Lee.

10 meters away, the two decided to wing it and jumped towards the finish line.

"I win!" the two shouted in unison as both of their hands touched the line at exactly the same time.

"Damn, It's a tie." Naruto cursed.

Lalalalalalla

Tsuna lazily jogged as disappeared from the corner of his house, he regret not sleeping earlier since Reborn woke him up from an hour of sleep, with cold water nonetheless. The brunet shivered as the cold draft of morning air shifted through his still damp skin.

"Ugh, why didn't I bring any jacket?" he muttered as he neared the park, just because he was still sleepy it doesn't mean he will slow his pace. Now that he knows that Reborn records his time, he wouldn't take any chances to be shot because he was late by a second.

"Now how about a Youthful spar?" A familiar voice echoed, in the morning wind.

'Eh, Lee?' Tsuna thought as he rounded the corner and saw the park, indeed it was Lee who voiced out a challenge. '..and Naruto? They're early today.'

Tsuna continued his jog and stopped when the blond boy called him.

"Hey, Tsuna!" Naruto called in English, getting the brunet's attention.

The Vongola heir entered the park and went towards the two.

"Tsuna-san! Are you going to join us in our youthful training?!" Lee asked/shouted.

"Hmm, m-maybe? I'll go ask Reborn. I'll c-come back after m-my first lap." Tsuna replied with a stutter. "Oh, and what's t-the challenge t-this time?"

"Ah just sparring, nothing too serious." Naruto answered.

"Sparring? Do g-guys k-know how t-to fight?" Tsuna asked in alarm, he only thought that the two were fitness freaks because of their unlimited stamina. At one point he even thought of Lee being a runner because of his attire.

"Just the basics, Tsuna-san." Lee replied, getting a smirk from Naruto. Somehow Tsuna had the feeling that the blond was laughing in his head.

"W-well, I b-better g-go ask Reborn t-then." Tsuna said and waved goodbye to his acquaintances and ran in a mad dash towards his home. He arrived and gave out a sigh of relief when no gun shots echoed.

"Reborn, Lee and Naruto a-asked me to join i-in their training a-again." Tsuna asked, as soon as he finished saying those words, he felt the painful feeling of a foot hitting his head.

"OW!" Tsuna shouted as he felt Reborn landed on his shoulder.

"You're late." the toddler stated.

Tsuna did not argue and went back to his run, trying to ignore the smirk in Reborn's face. They quickly arrived in the park and saw the two having at it with their fists and kicks.

"Whoa." Tsuna can only say as he say the rapid display of fighting skill in front of him.

Reborn eyed the fight between the two and can only conclude intermediate skill based on their fight. It was more of a play fight as he saw the two are only hitting the arms and torsos of their opponents, nothing too eye worthy to be noted about. The spar ended with Naruto holding Lee in a arm lock position, the fight had somehow ended through wrestling.

"Hah! First win!" Naruto exclaimed as Lee conceded defeat. "Now that's ten wins for me, one draw, and seven wins on your record." Naruto paused as he saw Tsuna watching at the sideline with Reborn in tow. "...And zero for Tsuna-san."

"Ahaha..." Tsuna quietly chuckled scratching the back of his head.

"Dame-Tsuna, I was expecting some number to tally their scores. I won't accept a zero for this competition." Reborn announced as he kicked his student behind the head, leading the brunet to ran towards the two.

"Whoa there, no need to be hasty." Naruto laughed as he steadied the falling brunet. "Now, who do you want to spar with?" he asked.

"Eto..., um, Lee?" Tsuna replied unsurely.

"Yosh! We will youthfully fight with our all Tsuna-san!" Lee excitedly exclaimed.

"What are the rules?" The squeaky voice of Reborn cut in.

"Just close quarters combat, no hitting below the belt and just take the basics." 'And no killing.' Naruto added in thought as he stepped back to give the two some space. He stared at the oncoming rising sun and as the first ray of light hit his face, he shouted for the match to start.

Lee immediately ran towards Tsuna slowing down his speed, he raised his right in ready for an attack and eyed the area where he was going to hit. If Reborn's training comes into fruition then the brunet has some basic skill in reading movements. He let out a smile as Tsuna dodge his punch, the green clad teen followed up with an elbow to the face which the brunet dodge again.

Naruto watched as Lee continued to attack while Tsuna dodged every strike.

"Ne, Reborn-chan." Naruto asked, inwardly smirking when he saw a twitch in the toddler's lips. "Why does Tsuna-san not attacking?" he asked.

"Dame-Tsuna, has only begun fighting just three days ago. He's just a beginner in the field." Reborn replied in an off manner.

"Hmm..." Naruto hummed as he continued to watch the fight.

"Uwah!" Tsuna shouted as he tripped. Lee used the opening and gave a punch towards the smaller teen's torso, he held back his strength so as to only gave a bruise as a result.

"Ow..." Tsuna murmured as he landed on the ground, the punch was not as hard as Reborn's kick but it held a lot of strength.

Lee was about to follow up a strike to the solar plexus but Tsuna saw it and immediately rolled away and stood up, he prepared a strike but he hesitated at the last second. Lee saw the opportunity and grabbed the half raised arm and twisted it at the teen's back.

"Do you yield?" Lee asked.

"Ouch." The brunet muttered and nodded.

"That was a very youthful spar Tsuna-san! Although you need to work on your attacks, your dodging skills needs a bit work though, you gave out too much movements." Lee commented.

Reborn raised at eyebrow the green clad teen, Naruto saw this and began explaining.

"In his hometown Lee was trained under mixed martial arts specialist when he was seven. He's a red belt in rank if I recall correctly, he picked up the habit to correct his opponent's mistakes during the fight." the blond said.

"Then, what about you Namikaze-san?" Reborn asked, curiosity got the better of him.

"Me? Well I'm more of melee fighter, or street fighter if you will. I also used to practice sword arts from time to time." Naruto replied as he walked towards the two.

"Ne, Tsuna-san how about you join us in our katas? It might help you in your fighting skills." the blond asked, joining the conversation.

"What a youthful idea Naruto-san!" Lee agreed.

Tsuna scratched the back of his head as he thought about the request. He can fight well when he's in Hyper Dying Will Mode, but when it comes to just being Tsuna all he can do is dodge and shriek. Reborn's teaching was focused on his HDWM, so it won't hurt to learn some moves aside from melee, right?

"S-s-sure why not?" Tsuna replied.

Lee enthusiastically began showing the different forms of katas, he assessed the brunet's skill and form and decided to teach Taijiquan. It can have a long term benefit for the brunet is he fully practiced the style, for now the basics will do.

Sawada Household: 0645

On the outside of the gates of the Sawada Household, we can find a green eyed, silver haired teen faithfully waiting for his Tenth.

Gokudera arrived on time as always, six forty-five on the dot, as he made this a habit on school days, from the time Juudaime accepted him. Although he also took some minutes to smoke outside of the compound, before he entered the house. He wouldn't want any nicotine to disperse inside the compound.

The silver haired teen threw his finished cigarette on the ground and stomped the cinders out. He was three feet away from the trash cans, so he disregard any rules about littering. Gokudera was about to open the gates, when the front door opened and out come Sawada Nana, the matriarch of the household.

"Are? Oh, Good Morning Gokudera-kun.!" the brunette greeted.

"Ah!, Good Morning Nana-san." Gokudera replied. "Is Juudaime ready yet?"

"Tsu-kun? Ah, he was out with his morning jog with Reborn-kun, he still hasn't returned yet." Nana answered touching her cheek with her hand, head tilted lightly to the left.

"Oh, is that so..." Gokudera replied with a slight dejected tone.

"Hm? Oh did you have any breakfast yet? Get inside, I'm sure Tsuna will be surprised to see you when he comes back." Nana rambled off as she dragged the bomber inside, not even giving a chance to the green eyed teen to argue.

Gokudera let out a silent sigh as he entered Juudaime's house, as usual it was a chaos of shouts and laughter, as Lambo, Ipin and Fuuta ran around. It was too early for them to be this energetic. The bomber froze when he heard a very familiar laughter joining the ruckus.

He quickly jogged to the living room and found Yamamoto playing with the kids, his minor injuries are already healed, right eye hidden behind an eye patch, and bandages were seen through his uniform. All in all the baseball idiot looked better than him after his fight. It's like his injuries healed quickly overnight, too quick for his taste. Being apprenticed under Shamal, he knew a few pointers when it comes to wounds, and he was sure that Yamamoto's injuries need a week and a half to heal.

"Baseball Freak.!" Gokudera pushed the thought on the back on his mind, there is a more important matter to attend to. "Why are you here?!"

"Oh, Gokudera! Morning." the tall raven greeted. "Well I'm waiting for Tsuna."

"You idiot! You should be at home resting!" the bomber scolded.

"Ahaha, you worry too much." Yamamoto replied and laughed as he saw Gokudera sputter his words. "My pops gave me the good to go sign this morning when he saw most of my wounds are healed. See?" the raven replied as he prodded some of his wounds and didn't flinch.

Gokudera was about to retort when the door opened and the person they're waiting for came in.

"I'm home!" Tsuna announced as he quickly shove off his shoes, he's late. Again. Lee was adamant at him to learn the first few katas of Taijiquan, and all he did was stumble on every position. Nevertheless Tsuna was glad that Lee was too enthusiastic to be mad at him, even Naruto had a few laughs when he butchered up some stance.

Reborn watched the entire lesson at the side, and inwardly encourage for his student to learn some martial arts, he might add the skill in fighting. Besides this was a good start to know the transferees.

"Juudaime!" Gokudera shouted excitedly.

"Ehh?, Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna exclaimed in surprise and his eyes directly went to the person on the couch behind the bomber. "Yamamoto?"

"Yo!" The baseball player greeted.

"Why are you here?" Tsuna asked and noticed Reborn jumped off of his shoulder and went to the kitchen.

"They're waiting for you, silly." Nana answered as she entered the living room. "Now go upstairs and wash-up. Breakfast will be done in five."

The brunet nodded and ran upstairs, and after ten minutes he went down, fully dressed in school uniform and bag slung on his side. He entered the kitchen and saw the whole company already eating in chaos. Gokudera was pinching Lambo's cheek as the five year old continued insulting the silver haired. Yamamoto was laughing at the two while Ipin was stammering for the two to stop. On the other hand Reborn was stealing meals left and right and Nana was quietly laughing with Fuuta at the 'friendly' gathering.

Tsuna sighed and sat down and ate his half stolen meal, watching out for Reborn.

"Ne, Tsuna. How's your jogging?" Yamamoto asked as he transferred his attention to his brown haired friend.

"Oh, ehm, it's very entertaining." Tsuna began but was cut off by Reborn.

"Dame-Tsuna, made new friends today." the toddler inserted, giving the attention to his student.

"Oh, really Tsu-kun? Are they from your school?" Nana asked fervently.

"No, they're t-transfer students f-from overseas." Tsuna replied shyly at the attention. "I met them y-yesterday."

"So the rumors are true..." Yamamoto muttered, since he was absent in the past days, the only updates he got from the school are rumors brought by the costumers in their restaurant.

"Un, they're very friendly." Tsuna added. "T-they taught me some k-katas for T-taiuji-"

"Taijiquan." Reborn corrected shooting a glance at the brunet who grimaced at another butchered word. "Anyway, you should get going now, it's ten minutes till school time."

"HIIEEE!" Tsuna shouted in panic as he grabbed his bag, he was quickly copied by his two friends. "Why didn't you told us earlier Reborn!" Tsuna complained as the three of them wore their shoes.

"N-nevermind. We're off to school!" Tsuna yelled as Yamamoto and Gokudera bowed at Nana, and quickly ran after their sky.

Namimori Middle: 0730

"Made it!" Yamamoto shouted as they entered their classroom,the three quickly went to their chairs and sat, shying away from the glare their teacher directed at them, except for Gokudera who returned with a glare of his own.

"Now, as before you three interrupted." the teacher began, but was unfortunately interrupted when a knock came from the door.

"Again with the disruptions." he drawled as he walked towards the door and exited the classroom.

The moment the door closed, students began to mill around with their seatmates and some had even went to their friends from the opposite side of the room.

"Okay, back to your seats." the teacher announced as he entered the room. Students immediately went back to their perspective chairs and listened attentively as they saw their teacher brimming with positive enthusiasm.

"As you remember, the Namimori School was chosen to house transfer students from overseas." the teacher began.

The students nodded, as they remembered the excited announcement of their Director these past days that a famous company has chosen their school to house transfer students from the school that they funded in order to promote their name.

"There are six transferees, four of them are juniors and two of them are freshmen just like you. Since we have the least number of students in the class the Principal has decided that we will house the freshmen." The man added, drawing out excited chatters from both females and some males.

"Yes Kurokawa-san?" the teacher asked he saw the girl raised her hand.

"Wouldn't it be better if they enrolled at the next school year? Our finals are two weeks away." Hana reasoned, getting nods from some of the students.

"Ah yes, that was another dilemma for the sudden announcement." the teacher answered. "However, the schools of the transferees already held their finals this last week. They will use the remaining two weeks to familiarize with the school, so technically they are already juniors."

The added news drawn out some complains from some of the students.

"Now, now. None of that." the teacher calmed the students. "Now, please come in and introduced yourselves."

The door opened and two figures entered the classroom.

'It's Ino-san!" Kyoko thought as she recognized the blonde female.

"It's Naruto-san!" Tsuna quietly exclaimed, his voice was loud enough to gather the attention of his two best friends.

"Do you know him, Juudaime?" Gokudera whispered.

"Yeah, he's o-one of the transfer I b-befriended this morning." Tsuna replied.

"Tsuna what about the girl?" Yamamoto asked.

The raven's question was unanswered as the teacher told the transfers to start their introduction.

"Ladies first." the blond male said. The female only rolled her eyes as she started.

"Hello, I'm Yamanaka Ino, thirteen years old. I like flowers and shopping." Ino made her introduction short, any more than that, then she would give out her likings to some hobby that was too weird for them.

She nodded at Naruto who was as ever jolly as he can be.

"Yo! Name's Namikaze Naruto, twelve years old, will be thirteen on October. I like ramen, especially miso ramen with pork on top, although tonkotsu is also a tasty one, and also shio-" Naruto accented drabble was cut off as Ino put a hand on his mouth.

"Ehehe, may we take our sits?" the blue eyed girl asked as she glanced at the teacher who was wearing a confused face at the action.

The girl was mentally patting herself on the back from shortening of what would be a very long monologue of the blond on his favorite food, not to mention that it would take three hours for it to finish.

"Ah, yes, yes." The teacher said as he looked at his class record, he was planning to put the two, to the most friendly teens in his class. And that would be Sasagawa and Yamamoto.

"Yamanaka-san, please sit behind Sasagawa-san." the teacher instructed.

Ino didn't wait for her blonde friend to raise her hand, she already recognized Kyoko the moment she entered the room. The blue eyed girl gave a smile as she walked to Kyoko, leaving a disgruntled Naruto on the front.

"And Namikaze-san, please sit beside Yamamoto."

Naruto acted as if looking for the teen, since he supposedly don't know the raven. He did found Tsuna and gave the brunet a grin.

"Yamamoto-san please raise your hand." The teacher told the baseball player with a sigh as the tall teen was sleeping.

"Baseball idiot! Raise your hand!" Gokudera loudly whispered, as he lightly kicked the teen's table.

"Nani?" Yamomoto woke from his nap and found that all eyes were on him. The teacher pointedly looked at him and gave out a laugh.

"Sorry." the teen replied as he connected the hints before him, he raised his hand and the male transferee eagerly sat down beside him.

The whispers began to start as some brave students began to ask the transferees about themselves. The student were eager to know the two, Ino was a pretty girl rivaling their school idol in beauty, while Naruto was the youngest in the classroom which surprised most of them, and energetic too.

"Quiet please." The teacher raised his voice and the class was again silenced. "You can ask them during breaktime. Meanwhile, let's start with our lesson."

The first lesson was spent in attentiveness as the student wrote their notes diligently, it was after their history that the chaos began. Curious students from left and right fired off questions after one another, and the two new students were left frazzled by the time the Math teacher entered.

"Sit down." an older man entered, giving out a strict personality just by his tone.

Tsuna shrank into his seat as the teacher began his lesson, he regret exposing Nezu's papers to the school. The new math teacher who substituted him was much worse, he was always mocking and insulting those who didn't pass the passing grade, and the man gave too difficult problems to the students he least dislike and it was nearly half of the class, Tsuna was one on the list.

"I see that we have new students here." The man began, as he settled for a smirk when he saw Tsuna. "Sawada-san, since you have the lowest score in our last test, you can answer first. I hope you can show how it will be done for our transferees."

"Bastard!" Gokudera loudly exclaimed as he heard the underlying insult in the teacher's tone.

"It's alright Gokudera-kun." Tsuna said as he patted the bomber on the shoulder, the brunet resigned himself in another bout of humiliation when his name was called out.

The brunet dragged himself on the front and looked at the equation before him, he was sure Reborn taught him about this, but he forgot the process already, not to mention his thoughts were filled with Ring Battles these days.

"G-gomen, I-I don't know..." The brunet said after a few minutes of staring at the problem.

"As expected of the class' dead last." the teacher insulted and swerved his head towards one of the transferees ignoring the insults raised by Gokudera. His eyes landed at Namikaze who was writing something on a piece of paper.

"Namikaze-san, I won't let any student be lax around my class so you better pay attention." the man reminded, getting the attention of the blond.

"You know, sensei. The grades of the students reflects how well the teacher taught their subject. Since Tsuna-san there, was not able to answer your problem that means you're not a good teacher." Naruto replied looking straight at the fuming man. He spent tutelage under many adults in his past and he knows a good teacher when he see one.

"Idiot." Ino muttered under her breath, getting a glance from Kyoko.

"Are you insulting me?!" the math teacher said.

"Nope. I'm just assessing what kind of teachers Namimori Middle has, it seems the discipline is low when in comes to manners." Naruto replied. "I'm sure the Director will be displeased to know that the standards for mentors here are low."

It was true, aside from familiarizing themselves with the school the Director asked them for a favor to evaluate the teachers. He even asked to test the tempers of some teachers in order to know if they keep their professionalism in the job.

The teacher suddenly paled at the thought but his anger was too much to contain, he ignored his rational thought and shouted at the transferee.

"Well then, let's see if your teacher was a good one then!" the man shouted as he wrote a problem in the board.

Naruto rose an eyebrow when he saw that the problem was not in the curriculum. He would certainly fail if he was not taught by his surrogate older brother in mathematics, not to mention the advance education of their village. Considering that it was math, it was pretty much a basic skill to have in order to calculate the distances between you and the target, you could say it was acquired skill when it comes in their line of job.

"Then please Namikaze-san, answer this." the man asked in a mocking tone.

The blond just shrugged as he hid his half-written report and went into the front. He took the chalk and began answering the problem.

Hana was surprised to see that their blond transferee was answering the problem without using any calculator, the problem has high numbers to compute and the kid didn't even waste a second to double check his work. She smirked as she held the boy in a new light, the boys in this class might be monkeys but not this one.

Naruto finished writing the answer as the bell rang. The solution pretty much covered the whole board, he was sure he didn't made any mistakes since it would take out too much time, and he was sure that the problem was college level since not one of the students -except for Gokudera and Ino- knew the solution.

He left the shocked class as well as an open mouthed teacher in the room as he went out to eat his lunch. It's not that amazing, Shikamaru can probably do it in ten minutes if he was not too lazy to solve it.

Rooftop, Namimori Building: 1215

The Namimori gang -Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto- opened the door to the rooftop and blinked as they saw unfamiliar faces greeted them.

There was a pale red head in the group,a raven who was lying on the floor gazing at the clouds, a very loud teen shouting youthfully and a very beautiful female wearing a boy's uniform.

"Lee?" Tsuna said as he saw the youthful teen still wearing his orange leg warmers.

"Oh! Tsuna-san! It's youthful for us to meet here!" Lee greeted with a shout.

Gokudera grimaced at the volume and Yamamoto tried to hide his flinch but failed.

"Hello, Lee..." Tsuna greeted.

The door of the rooftop opened again four figures entered. It was Naruto and Ino, Tsuna was surprised to see Kyoko and Hana as well.

The blond blinked as he saw three teenagers in their group. 'Huh? Tsuna?" he looked at the teens before him and assumed that they eat here during lunch. "Ah, you must eat here during lunch break. Sorry to intrude, the students down there are very curious."

"Ah, it's not a p-problem." Tsuna replied.

"Well how about you join us? Ino even brought up her friends." Naruto said as he sat on the floor, Ino and the others followed.

"Tsuna-kun! Do you know Naruto-san?" Kyoko asked as she sat down beside Tsuna drawing out a blush from the brunet.

"Y-yeah, I met t-them during my m-morning jog." Tsuna answered.

"Oh, sorry we haven't introduced ourselves yet." Naruto began as he introduce his friends.

"The red head is Subaku Gaara." the blond began. Gaara nodded at the group.

"The lazy one is Nara Shikamaru." he pointed at the lying teen.

"The one with orange leg warmers is Rock Lee." the said teen bared his good guy pose.

"The one with long hair is Yuki Haku." the girl in boy's clothes smiled.

"And yours truly, Namikaze Naruto." the blond ended their introduction.

"Ano, Yuki-san." Kyoko began, very curious as to why the girl wore the boy's uniform. "Why are you wearing a boy's uniform?"

The question brought out some chuckles from the group, while Naruto laughed outright.

"See! I told you to cut off your hair!" Narutoo teased his friend. "Now the school will think you're cross dressing."

"Eh?" the girl asked confusedly, followed by the boys.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that Haku is a boy." Naruto said, getting shocked faces from their new friends.

'That's not possible!' the boys shrieked in their mind. 'He's more pretty than a girl!'

"Uwah! Gomene." Kyoko apologized as she bowed, hiding her embarrassment.

"No need. I was used to it." Haku replied.

'Even his voice sound feminine!' the boys added in their thought.

"Boys, please close your mouth, that's embarrassing." Hana reprimanded.

"Anyway, My name's Kurokawa Hana. The girl beside me is Sasagawa Kyoko, the monkey with silver hair is Gokudera Hayato, the tall one is Yamamoto Takeshi, and the brunet is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Pleasure to meet you." Hana quickly introduced her side, ignoring the indignant yell from the bomber.

"Well let's eat! I'm hungry." Naruto announced.

Haku immediately grabbed their large bento box, getting some looks from their new friends, the gray eyed teen ignored the looks as he untied the cloth revealing seven stacks of bento. He put the first bento at the middle and passed the rest.

Naruto excitedly opened the box at the middle, enthusiastically picked some of the food inside.

"Ano, what's that?" Yamamoto asked, he was familiar at the food since his dad was a sushi chef, but he just had to make sure.

"Shark fin." The blond replied and returned to his food. "You can try one."

The Vongola boys looked at each other. Yamamoto shrugged and picked one of the fins, and ate it. "It's delicious."

The group spent their lunch, knowing about each other, aside from Gaara who was silent all the time. Gokudera had found a liking to Naruto since he was very friendly with Juudaime, while Yamamoto befriended the youthful Lee (That was a really bad pun.) Kyoko had talked about their upcoming appreciation day with Ino and Hana found Shikamaru quite smart despite his lazy attitude. All in all it was a productive meeting.

When the bell rang the group returned to their perspective rooms.

"Gokudera-kun, did you know where Tsuna-kun went?" Kyoko asked, they are already seated on their chairs and were waiting for their teacher to arrive.

"Juudaime, was picked up by Reborn earlier." Gokudera roughly replied, he wanted to help Juudaime in his training but Reborn asked him to stay and gather notes for the lessons Juudaime missed. And as the Righthand man of Juudaime it was his duty, as Reborn has stated.

Ino overheard the conversation and pointedly looked at Naruto. The blond saw the glance from the blue eyed girl and discretely mouthed the word 'clone' and pointed at himself. The blonde girl nodded and went back to writing her report, it was coded so she wont worry for any peeking from her seatmates.

The clone sat grumpily, and waited for the class to end. It was bad enough that he's created to attend school, but to finish a half written report? This was just abusive of his boss. He thought heatedly as he glared the report peeking out of his bag, mocking him to finish it.

Omake!~

BOOM!

Explosions took off after one another as the members of the Cavallone Famiglia take cover. It took 5 minutes for preparation of the bombs double checking the right place to place the explosives in order to not completely demolish the building -and nobody wants to see a demolished building the next day, nor rebuild the whole thing over night- and another 5 minutes to let the water flush out.

The water began to flush out, and as soon as the water was low enough to walk in the Cavallone men and medics rushed it. The Cervello girls followed and began their search, not for the fallen Rain Guardian. But for their pet shark.

Yes, pet shark.

The Aquarion took up too much money to make, and they have only enough budget to build the whole thing. They don't have extra money to buy a shark or any sea beast, thus with a heavy heart, they lent their pet.

"Cynthia! Did you see him?" one of the Cervello girls asked in panic.

"No, Ninya." Cynthia replied, patting the girl at the shoulder.

"Come on! How can a fifteen feet shark just disappear?!" Ninya shrieked as she pulled at her hair.

"UWAAHHH! Kisame!" Ninya shouted as she was hugged by Cynthia. "He w-was so b-big! I w-was planning on r-raising h-him more to b-break the Guinnes record!"

"There, there. Ninya." Cynthia patted the crying girl.

A/N: Okay, to be truthful, I'm a bit disappointed with this story, it didn't garner comments from you guys so maybe...nah. I love the plot too much to let this waste away. So basically I am vying for some comments, ideas, scenes and even some opinions on this chapter. Speaking of chapter...

My writing style is very meticulous, you see. Three chapters in a two day timeline, so please bear the sluggish plot line, as soon as the Ring Battle arc ends, I'll put some time skips since I have a special plot in mind for the next arc. No worries, hah what do you think of my Omake? -it's not that humorous if you have a pet shark and it's a bit unusual, so I apologize if I offended any of you :)

Till next update!
