Forest of Death: 1313
Naruto expertly hid himself from view as he watched the Vongola group gathered at a clearing. He closed in a few more feet and hid behind a dense cluster of leaves, not even making a sound. He positioned himself at the treetops at about thirty feet above ground level, beside it has the best vantage view.
"Clone 1-3, report." Naruto spoke at his earpiece, he used the camouflage technique and placed suppression seals on his body, he can't take any chances since he was warned enough about Vongola's intuition.
"This is Clone 1, I stuck myself at the cliff side, north east end." His own voice called back. "I went ahead and secured the clearing with recording devices."
Naruto was weirded about the first time he tried this process, but he was getting used to it.
"Clone 2, positioned near the bushes, west side of the clearing." Another clone reported.
"Squeak." A very unusual sound echoed in the earpiece, getting confused faces on the original and the clones.
"Clone 3?" Naruto replied, getting another squeak.
The original, let out a deep sigh, and questioned himself, why would his clone transform into a freaking rodent? Even if clone was an exact copy of him it doesn't mean he can't question his own eccentricities.
"I'll assume you turned yourself into a squirrel?" Naruto asked getting a negative squeak.
"Some kind of rat?" One of the clones asked, it was replied with a negative squeak.
"Is it red?" Another clone asked.
"Shrew?"
"Brown color?"
"Does it lives on the trees?
The original Naruto wondered when the heck did they start a game of charades in the middle of spying? With a rodent no less.
"Weasel?" Another clone asked, this time getting a excited squeak.
"Okay, okay. Enough charades. Clone three is a weasel, and considering that I am positioned in south, you're somewhere at the east." Naruto asked, getting a positive squeak. "Roger, that. Now back to the mission, we're wasting time."
Not a second later they heard a gunshot, and all eyes snapped back to the clearing.
Naruto watched as Reborn holstered his gun, and saw the Vongola heir snapped back into consciousness, Sky Flames burst out of his hands and forehead. The hidden blonde watched in amazement at the prowess.
"This is Clone 2, Basil of the CEDEF is arriving." The clone reported.
"Roger." The original replied.
"Ciaossu, Basil. You're just in time." Reborn greeted the Italian blond. "You know the drill." The toddler added.
The teen nodded and pulled out a small canister containing blue pills, he pulled out one and gulped it down. Not a second later blue flames erupted from his forehead and he held his metal edge in a stance. Tsuna quickly followed and prepared his own stance, orange eyes stared in a calm demeanor.
Reborn took hold of his pet chameleon and the reptile immediately transformed into a starting pistol. He watched the two fighters for a while and pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot echoed the two teens ran towards each other.
Naruto watched attentively at the fight, and noticed the big difference of fighting skill between Tsuna and his HDWM self. Tsuna has a talent in dodging and evading attacks albeit with shrieking, while his HDWM self, held a calm and on guard aura that helped him think his attacks and defense. If Tsuna can master the Taijiquan then he can be on par with his HDWM when it comes to fighting, well except of the benefits the Sky flames gives.
Basil, on the other hand has mastered his own style with his metal edge, based on how the Italian borne pushed Tsuna in a metaphorical corner. His own HDWM has added a fighting edge and also his experience when it comes to fighting put the Italian blond on a higher pedestal.
Naruto rose an eyebrow when the Vongola heir, used a combo of two of the katas taught by Lee earlier. He was impressed that Tsuna had manage to memorize them despite butchering the stances this morning.
The tables are now turned when Tsuna manage to disarm one of Basil's metal edge, the brunet closed in and began his attack, using some moves of the Taijiquan. While Basil was put on defensive, using his metal edge to block some strong punch and the occasional kicks. The spar continued until it reached two hours, having the occasional break for some water or reloading of their pills/bullets.
"Dame-Tsuna." Reborn called as he neared the two resting fighters.
"Hai." The brunet stood up and looked attentively at his tutor, he manage to ignore the dame nickname from the toddler.
"We'll be resuming with your training with the Zero Point Breakthrough." Reborn, ordered, he kicked his student when the teen let out a frustrated sigh. "No complains!"
"B-but Reborn! You only told me that, that technique was created by Primo and his training to create it, and nothing else! Not even a hint on how to do the technique." Tsuna complained mumbling the last part, it was a valid one, since he was sure Reborn has no idea how the technique work either.
Tsuna shriek when he dodge a bullet. "Reborn!" He reprimanded, and got follow up shots near his feet. "Okay! Okay! I'm doing it! Just no shooting." The brunet begged.
The gunshot immediately ceased and Tsuna ran towards a higher rock platform in the clearing. Basil threw him a pill and the brunet nodded in thanks, he gulped down the blue pill and felt the familiar calming effect the HDWM gives.
Reborn watched his student stand there contemplating about the mysterious technique, he was sure that by following the training program the Primo did in the past, they can recreate the Zero Point Breakthrough. There are no percentages in here since it is all up to Tsuna. Besides he can also time how long the HDWM lasts, a win win situation for him.
"Basil take the time." He ordered, looking at his Leon watch. It's 15 until 3, there's still plenty of time before the Mist Battle.
At 1520, a speck at sky was noticed by one of the Naruto clone.
"This is Clone 1, incoming arrival at 2 o'clock, figure still unidentified." The clone reported, eyeing the speck as it neared. He immediately recognized the figure as the Rain Arcobaleno, flying with his pet eagle. "It's the Rain Arcobaleno, Colonello. Clone 3 be aware of predators, he brought his eagle."
"Squeak!" The third clone replied, assuring his team that he's well hidden.
They watched attentively as the two Arcobaleno greeted each other with a headbutt.
"Oi, Reborn! Kora!" The blond chibi called as he butted heads with the raven. "Why did you call me here for? Kora!"
"Ciaossu! Colonello." Reborn greeted, returning the headbutt with equal force.
"They sure have some thick heads..." Clone 2 mumbled softly.
"What do you think od Mammon of the Varia?" The raven haired toddler asked.
"The Mist Guardian? Kora." Colonello asked.
"Aa, the one with frog on the head." Reborn confirmed.
"Now that you mention it. His size is a bit similar to us, kora." The blond murmured. "Wait...Don't tell me he's an Arcobaleno? Kora."
"It's a possibility, however our pacifiers didn't react when we're close to them. There's another chance that it was just an illusion." Reborn replied.
"True, since we all know the members of the Arcobaleno including the missing one. Kora." The blond agreed but cam into a conclusion on what he just said. "Don't tell me it's him? Kora."
"Who knows." Reborn replied offhandedly.
"But if it's him, then we won't have a chance against Varia." Colonello replied negatively.
"You don't know the full power of our Mist Guardian yet." The hitman replied. "Besides Chrome came with a two-in-one package, so to speak."
Colonello looked his fellow Arcobaleno oddly.
"Two-in-one?" Clone 2 as he heard the conversation, he discretely made another clone and immediately let it puff out of existence, the smoke was small enough to be unnoticeable from the eyes of their targets.
The original Naruto blinked as a new information was processed by his mind. Dokuro Chrome was confirmed as the Mist Guardian of the Vongola group, however they only manage to hack her past information and her current connection with Mokuro's gang but not her sudden mastery of the Mist flames. The little clue they gathered might be the key to this mystery.
He bit his thumb drawing out blood and summoned Kuro. The fox raised a non existent eyebrow as he noticed that he is on top of a tree, Naruto nowhere in his sight.
"Naruto?" The oddly colored fox asked in a whisper.
"I'm here Kuro, in camouflage." The blond explained getting a nod from his summon. "Wait a minute I'll just write an update."
The blond unsealed a scroll and pen and began writing the current info they gathered. They will need all information related the current state of Mokuro as well as his relation to Chrome. Maybe the CEDEF has a hand into it.
Kuro watched in mild curiosity at the pen and scroll floating before him, he knew that Naruto was writing but it was just plain weird watching non sentient objects move by themselves. Naruto sealed the scroll and handed it to Kuro.
"Now, Kakashi-nii is on the shopping district and has a part time job in one of the cafes, in the area. So be careful not to be seen by cameras and if possible no contacts with humans. Also-" Naruto was cut off by Kuro when the kit interjected.
"No talking, or pranks. Got it." Kuo blandly added, knowing the standard rules when it comes to undercover mission. He might not be a fully grown fox yet, but he learned from the best.
"Now off, you go." Naruto said.
Kuro can't see his partner but he knew that the human was making a shooing motion at him. He stuck his tongue out in teasing and left, not making a sound as the odd colored fox jumped from tree to tree.
"Cheeky fox." Naruto grumbled as he went back to observing the group.
"Oi, Reborn, I was wondering what kind of training you're putting him through, Kora." Colonello asked as he pointed to the standing Tsuna on a rock platform.
"Were timing his Zero Point Break." Reborn replied
"Zero Point Break?" The blond toddler parroted.
"Just watch." The hitman replied.
A few minutes passed and nothing happened.
"How much longer until it starts? Kora." Colonello complained.
"It seems it won't appear today." Reborn answered casually. "Anyway-" the toddler was interrupted when his student interjected with a question.
"Ne, Reborn, are there no other hints on this technique? All I came up was ideas on some moves since I don't have anything to base Zero Point Break with." HDWM self asked, unflamed hand scratching his chin in a thinking pose.
'We might as well start with that.' Reborn thought.
"Aa." The toddler agreed vocally.
Tsuna snapped out of his HDWM and jumped down from the rock platform. He sat near the group and waited for Reborn to ask his question. He was brimming with ideas that he thought when he was in HDWM, and he needs to ask more questions.
"Basil could you please go down and get some refreshments? We're running out." The toddler requested sat in front of his student.
"Hai, Reborn-dono." the Italian born replied.
"I'll come with you, kora." Colonello said as he perched himself on the shoulder of the CEDEF protege, his eagle took the other half. Without a word the two walked out of the clearing and disappeared in the greenery.
"Clone 2." Naruto said as he closed in with the pair in the clearing.
"On it." his clone replied and followed the two blonds.
"Clone 3, send a replacement."
"Squeak!" his clone turned rodent complied.
"Now, what have you got?" The toddler asked.
"W-well, I got a theory although I need to get some answers first." Tsuna asked, trying to lessen his stutter in front of Reborn.
"Aa, now shoot." Reborn ordered.
"Are there any properties of the Dying Will Flames?" The brunet asked.
"Yes, there are." Reborn confirmed, drinking his espresso that came out of nowhere. "Storm Flames has the ability to disintegrate anything it touches, including other flames. Rain Flames has the ability to calm, tranquility if you might say, it can slow down and rob the strength of their opponents, though it depends on the strength of the flame. Sun flames is more of a support type of flame, it can induce and improve the efficiency of any activity, that includes healing wound injuries."
The toddler paused as he took a sip. "Lighting flames firms or solidifies any object, this can be used for defense. As for it's offense the flames can take the properties of lighting, electrocution for example and if utilized efficiently it can cut through objects. Cloud flames has the ability to propagate the amount and size of an object, befitting for wide range attacks. Mist flames, has the ability to create something out of nothing, it can construct any imaginable situations or objects, a flames that specializes in illusions.
Reborn looked at his student and saw the brunet take in the information with a rare shown attentiveness. "And lastly, the Sky Flames, it has the ability to harmonize all flames and can partly utilize other flames."
Silence echoed throughout the clearing as Reborn, watch his student's facial reaction. At first it in deep concentration, followed by a sudden light in the eyes, and it was ended with a triumphant look. The raven haired was amused at how open the brunet was, although he need to curb that openness when it comes to boss duties and fighting.
"Got it!" The brunet yelled. "Reborn, Sky Flames harmonize right? If I can harmonize the flames of my enemies with my sky flames, then maybe I can absorb them and add it into my own! The question is... How?" He ended the thought with a dejected tone, his theory might be right, but it was just as it is, a theory.
"Dame-Tsuna, did you forget that your gloves has the same component as the Sky Flames?" Reborn reminded, somewhat proud of the brunet, the sudden bout of genius was a surprise to the toddler. "This might work out, although we need to test this one."
Naruto took the time to record that dialogue. It seems that there something more about Dying Will Flames aside from being a physical projection of a person's will, this can really add some serious firepower if the Hidden Villages learn to harness it. The blond suddenly froze when the brunet looked straight at him, Naruto reasoned to himself that the camouflage technique is still in use as well as the suppression seals, reassuring himself that he is still well hidden. Despite that being under the gaze of the Vongola Intuition was a very unnerving experience.
Reborn looked at his student when the brunet did not reply, noting that Tsuna was unconsciously looking at the tree near the clearing. He eyed the direction of his student's gaze and found nothing suspicious, is it another infiltrator? A spy maybe? But who? Varia had stayed out of their sight during the day... He was tempted to just shoot the whole tree to let out his frustration at the sporadic intervals of the unknown character.
"Ne, Reborn...' Tsuna said, eyes straight into the hidden blond. Unfortunately he was cut off as the bush rustled at the west of their clearing.
The brunet eyed the rigid form of his tutor and Tsuna can't help but feel nervous about the situation, there are many wild animals here in the forest and he doesn't want to meet even a single one of it.
Another rustle echoed as the creature jumped out of the bush. It was a weasel, brown coat and all. It was looking at them in curiosity.
Tsuna watched the rodent and his intiution gave off a low buzz. Not a second later the creature returned to the undergrowth, making noises along the way.
Naruto gave a silent appreciation to his clone turned rodent made to distract the targets, his paranoia had doubled after the close call. The blond watched as the Vongola heir turned his attention back at their topic.
"How do we start this?" The brunet asked, glancing back at the tree.
"We'll start with Basil's flames, he can coat his metal edge with flames and we'll start from that." Reborn replied, while raising an eyebrow to his student when the brunet keep glancing back at the tree.
Naruto's nerves began to frazzle as the repeated glance the brunet made at him added another bout of anxiety in his mind. He was saved when his second clone announced his return along with his blond targets. When the two blonds entered the clearing, the Vongola heir's attention was transferred to his current task at hand, his focus undivided.
"Clone 2 here." The voice in his earpiece said, knocking out the tension from Naruto.
"Yes? Any updates on your side?" The original asked.
"They had met the two boys from Mokuro's gang, nothing significant happened aside from traditional banter." The clone replied.
"Noted." Naruto replied.
"Squeak!" A terrified squeal shouted from the earpiece, getting the attention of the group.
"This is Clone 1, Clone 3 is currently being chased by the eagle." A clone reported, an amused tone in his voice. His position on the cliff made him able to see the hunt.
"Dammit." Naruto cursed, despite his high vantage view he cannot see them due to the undergrowth, although the flapping of wings was a give away. He blinked as he received the memories from the previous clone replacement.
"Oh, close one..." Clone 1 commented. "...And he's safe."
Naruto gave out a relieved sigh, spying on the Vongola is much more stressful that what he expects it to be, heck, by the end of this mission the ends his hair might have enough gray hairs to rival his red highlights.
Namimori Shopping District: 1200
Kakashi sighed as he trudged towards the cafe, covering up a yawn all the while. He didn't expect that the report will be finished at 2 in the morning, even with the help of a clone. From allowances to drafting of reports and until it went to some miscellaneous paperwork in the school. He should have realize long ago that long term undercover missions will equal to long hours of paperwork.
The silver haired man stopped and eyed the ramen shop across the road. He knew that this is the location of their main target, but it is not the right time. He ignored the near invisible tendrils of mist flames coating the shop, but he was weary enough to evade it if comes near to him. Kakashi looked at the building closely with a critical eye, he noted the simple design and the homey atmosphere, he admits that their target has a very tactical position when it comes to hiding, the shop was discrete and easily overlooked. Just hiding in plain sight.
Kakashi shook the thought back to his head and continued his trudging, he deliberately decreasing his pace intentionally trying to be late for his work. Old habits die hard, and his infamous tardiness was one of them.
Thirty minutes into his shift, Kakashi entered the backdoor of the shop fully expecting a pissed off manager. But it seems that Yume has a very long patience when he saw her smile in greeting.
"Oh good, you're here." Yume greeted as soon as she saw him, she began pushing the tall teen towards the back room.
"Now, your t-shirt will do for now, just wear the apron." the older woman ordered and pushed the garment to Kakashi. "Now since you are a trainee, you can wear civilian clothes. But come next week and you will be fitted for the uniform."
Kakashi dumbly nodded and wore the garment, still unused to a civilian ordering around an elite, granted that he was undercover but Kakashi never thought of a day like this.
"Ah, Yume-san." the silver haired teen called as he pulled out the files from yesterday. "I already filled it in."
"Hm, oh." the brunette grabbed the filed and scanned the bio. "Oh, you're still college?"
"Hai." the tall teen confirmed.
"Hmm... I take it you'll quit when the next semester comes?" Yume replied, still pondering at the info before her.
"... I might." Kakashi finally replied, still unsure of the future plans. "Although, I think I need a part time work just to add some extra cash." He added, just to remain in the good grace of the manager.
Yume hummed in thought as she continue to read. "And you're a foreigner?"
"Ah, no. I was raised here in Japan and grown up in England. I visit from time to time, I'm still a native at heart." Kakashi explained his false back story. He was used to lying that it was just another gained habit in the job, well except when he's in front of their leader.
"Well, everything seems to be in order." Yume said with a smile. "Cana, has been waiting for your arrival. So you better go out, that girl has quite the temper."
Kakashi nodded and went towards the front, as expected Cana was fuming at his entrance.
"Hatake-san! You're late!" She scolded loudly, there were no costumer at the time and the petite girl used the opportunity to reprimand her co-worker.
"Ahaha, gomen. I helped an old lady across the road." Kakashi replied his lame excuse. "And she invited me to lunch." He added just to add some ire to the girl.
"Jeez, no one would take that long!" She complained crossing her arms. "There is still some basics I want to teach you, now get you butt here."
Kakashi raised his arms in a placating manner. "Maa, maa, no need to shout."
Cana spent the first three hours teaching the basics and some recipes for some brews, and she was surprised that the trainee easily followed the instructions and not even a single mistake was made. She knew that the tall teen has no experience when it comes to brewing -coffees that is- and was tempted to ask her co-worker if he has an eidetic memory or he's simply a genius, it was a curiosity and a mystery. The only problem is, she has no love of solving these kinds of problems, her only interest lies on earning money.
Soon enough, the hands of the clock reached three o'clock and the first wave of early costumers trickled in. There was an old foreigner who was a regular in their cafe, two pairs of couples and a group of highschool girls, who giggled as they saw Kakashi busying himself with the preparations. Cana rolled her eyes at the recent costumers, she admit that her co-worker was handsome and well built, but it he's not some poster to ogle at. Although she had suspicions that Yume 'hired' -more like forced- the tall teen to get the job for his looks, Cana commends her manager for a nice catch though. Not to mention the half of the extra cash from the tip box was given to her.
The brunette manned the register and brewing while Kakashi was in charge of preparations and serving, the manager would sometimes help if the costumers were too much for the two to handle. She was sitting idly at the counter and looking at their costumers, amusing herself at their quirks and habits. The brunette was suddenly pulled out of her musing by Kakashi.
"Ah, excuse me Cana-chan." The tall teen said, glancing at the corner of their window. "Do you mind if I take some minutes outside?"
"What for?" Cana asked as she eyed the teen.
"Smoke." The teen simply replied, and saw the petite woman rose an eyebrow.
"You smoke?" The brunette parroted, she wasn't expecting for the teenager to smoke nor even have a vice at such age. Not that she has anything against smokers, everyone has their own bad habits, even she had one. Besides it's their own choice to risk their health.
Kakashi nodded.
"Oh." Cana can only reply. "Ten minutes, since rush hour will be here in any minute."
Kakashi gave a thanks and went to the back door.
"And tell Yume-san to sub you for a while!" Cana hollered in her moderate voice. Not a minute later Yume arrived, a questioning look on her face.
"Ara, where's Kakashi-san?" The older woman asked. She heard her name being called and immediately went to the counter.
"Cigarette break." Cana replied in a deadpan.
"Oh." the manager can only reply.
At the back door...
Kakashi scanned the surrounding for any cameras or eyes that might peek at him. He saw the CCTV at near the back door and walked out of it's sight. Deeming that the area is clear of any wandering eyes, he slumped against the tree a few feet away from the shop. He took out a cigarette and lighted it, it was one of the habits he took from Asuma, one of his colleague. But the smoking was just for appearance sake, there's another agenda why he needs to get out of the shop.
"You can come out now, Kuro." Kakashi called out. He sensed the fox earlier and confirmed his arrival when a red bushy tail poked out of the window.
Without a sound the odd colored fox landed beside him, carrying a scroll in his muzzle.
"An update?" He asked as he took the scroll, blowing out the smoke.
"Yeah, Naruto-kun was tailing someone in the forest." Kuro replied with a shrug.
Kakashi unrolled the scroll and read the update, his eyes sharpened as he eyed the info inside. In seems that he'll be home early for some hacking.
"You can go." Kakashi said, to the fox and the mammal gave salute and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The silver haired teen threw the nearly finished cigarette and stomped out the cinders. He blew out the smoke and began making hand signs. Not a second later, a clone appeared before him accompanied by a transparent smoke, it was another branch of the cloning technique that vary from the regular one that was always used by Naruto.
There are four types of cloning technique. First was the basic clone technique, a simple illusion of the person can be easily identified if it was touched. The second one is the object cloning technique (A/N: Sorry for the bad naming, I just came up with on the go.) This one was used to multiply the number of projectile that was thrown to cause a wide range damage. The third one is the elemental cloning, just like the Dying Will Flames, the soldiers of the Hidden Nation has their own type of power mostly derived from the nature. Soldiers can create a clone based on their power type, for example Haku has an affinity with snow so he can create a clone made of it and direct it with their intentions, although when an element clone is destroyed it will return to it's original appearance. Lastly, the fourth type of clone is the shadow clones, this is the most advance and energy draining technique on the list but has it's own benefits, not to mention the most used technique by Naruto. Shadow clone can create a solid clone and has it's own mind, so to speak, it can transfer memories they gain on their journey and pass in on to the original, although the downside of this technique is that after one strong hit to the clone it will be dispelled.
But that was in the past, this time the shadow clone technique was upgraded and the clones were more durable, withstanding twenty hits before it can be dispelled. There are some individuals in his village that can create clones that can withstand hits of more than standard amount, Kushina held the record by creating a clone that survived after fifty hits, granted that the one who hit her was beaten thrice the hits.
However the disadvantage of this technique, is that the original will feel the damage after the clone is dispelled. This type of technique is the one Kakashi is currently using, he had in mind of the event yesterday -female harassing him- and took the precaution. Besides, it's better if he can only 'feel' the after effect than to experience it first hand.
The two identical shared a nod and the clone went back inside, he glanced back to the original and found the area empty.
"He must've used the camouflage..." the clone mumbled and entered the shop.
Along the way to the counter, the Kakashi clone felt nervous, his boss has an ability to withhold some memories if he creates a clone and somehow he had the feeling that he was missing something, and as he opened the door towards the counter he has only one thing to say in his mind.
'Fuck... I hate you boss.' He cursed in his head as he was greeted by a sea of giggling girls and older females lining up before the counter.
Transfer Students Residence: 1823
"Sorry I'm late." Naruto announced as he entered the room via window, his mission had unfortunately ended at sundown and their meeting was moved up by thirty minutes. In short, his tardiness was an accomplishment Kakashi would be proud of.
Kakashi excused his surrogate brother's tardiness, he was not a hypocrite. No need to scold a tardy when he's much worse in that area. He grabbed the report given by Haku, who had recently finished his report and looked at Naruto.
The blond took the silent order and began his report. Starting from the moment he followed the Vongola Group until it reached the part where his targets discussed the flames.
"Did you manage to get some pills?" Ino asked, getting a negative shake of head from the blond.
"No, although I think I can manage to get some. That is if I can make a contact with Basil or maybe even steal from him in the Sawada Household." Naruto replied and contemplated his words.
"I think you should sit this one out Naruto." Kakashi said. "Shikamaru will do it during the Mist Battle, hopefully the CEDEF protege have some extra in his room.;"
Shikamaru nodded at his order, he can easily blend in the shadows, aside from tactics and planning he had some skills in subterfuge.
"Now, Ino and Haku. The two of you will be the one watching the Mist Battle this time." Kakashi ordered. "And Naruto will help you two prepare for some concealment, we can't be too lax around the Mafia."
The two nodded and the group was immediately dismissed scurrying for the dinner and preparing for their night patrols.
Lalalalalalal
Namimori Middle Gymnasium: 1900
"The Varia are sure early..." Yamamoto commented as they entered the gym watching the enemy lazing around across the building. The gang had met in the gates fifteen minutes earlier than the scheduled time hoping to be the early group this time, however it seems that the Varia has a knack for over punctuality.
"It doesn't matter." Gokudera grumpily replied. "The Kokuyo group is late."
"Maa, maa. I'm sure they'll be here any minute." Yamamoto said positively.
True enough, three silhouette can be seen from the door. One petite figure and two tall ones. Seconds later the three figures entered the gym, their entrance was greeted by a loud insult by one silver haired teen which was immediately retorted by the blond member of the late group and soon enough, insults flew over the air.
"Hello Chrome." Tsuna greeted with a meek wave.
"S-sorry we're late boss." The indigo haired girl replied.
"Eh, no worries you're just in time." Tsuna replied, reminding himself that the girl before him will fight moments later. "Anyway, be careful and good luck."
"Un." The girl replied, holding tightly to the trident she always carries and walked towards the middle of the gym, where her opponent and the Cervello girls stood.
"The Battle for the Mist Ring will be held inside this building, the contenders may use the equipment inside the gymnasium. There will no need of perplexity in this battle." One of the Cervello started, gathering the attention of the two group.
Tsuna blinked as he replayed the word in his head. "That's it? How are they going to fight?" He asked his group, getting similar confused face from them.
"Yeaah, I also wonder why..." Yamamoto added his two cents. "I mean, the previous battles has many rules and such."
"The specialty of the Mist Guardians are illusions. Creating something from nothing, and nothing from something, thus bewildering the enemy. Rendering the Family's true form with intangible with visions of deceit." Reborn said, answering the questions of the group. "This is the role of the Mist Guardian."
"The illusions themselves will be the one that will create the obstacles, kora!" Colonello added as he made an entrance from an opened window, jumping away from his eagle and landed soundlessly on top of Ryohei's head.
"Master Collonello!" The boxer greeted as steadied his posture. "I thought that it was time for you to go sleep with Kyoko."
"I have some interest in this battle, kora!" The blond baby answered. "I want to confirm my thoughts about that chibi over there." He added as he pointed the Varia's illusionist with a thumb.
"Confirm about what?" Gokudera asked, eyeing the hooded baby.
"That he's an Arcobaleno..." Colonello replied. "We'll be in trouble if I'm correct about this hunch."
"So you're worried after all." Reborn commented idly.
"The battle will commence shortly." The second Cervello girl said, getting the attention back to the fight. "The audience area is being set up, please note that there are infrared triggers installed, any uncalled actions will lead to disqualification of your guardian."
Shortly after, two cages are lowered on both teams, preventing any disruptions that might happen.
"Then the Battle for the Ring of Mist: Marmon vs Dokuro Chrome, begins!"
Ino watched intently as the eye patch girl twirled her trident and slammed its butt on the ground. For a moment, the Yamanaka heir expected that this will be a battle of cunningness and ingenuity, where there would be subterfuge and traps since most of their genjutsu specialist has these qualities. This is her first time witnessing a battle of pure illusions, thus she held great expectations for this fight.
She was sitting on the balcony at the corner of the gym, having a great vantage view of the battle as well as a peripheral view of the Vongola group. Haku had meanwhile shadowed the Varia at the opposite side, since both of them are invisible and untraceable, Ino could only trust the word of the feminine boy.
Her hopes were granted when she felt a displacement in the air, letting her know that the illusion has started. Ino saw the cracks beginning to form on the floor from the impact, the fissure quickly widened in a five meter circumference, it was followed by an unbelievable case, huge chunks of the floor began to float into the air seemingly defying the gravity.
The hidden blonde watched the opening salvo with a critical eye, she admits that the illusion was very well made, however she was disappointed at the amount of control the girl seems to have over her technique, it was bare minimum of her senses that was being tricked, she can easily cancel the hold over it with a simple burst of her energy. The feeling of being airborne was quickly dismissed as she returned her attention to the fight.
"It seems that we use similar techniques." Mammon stated, as his figure jumped from one floating debris to another.
Ino felt another displaced air shrouded her senses, it was another illusion, this time it came from the hooded chibi.
"But this is nothing but a child's play." The hooded toddler added as he reached his enemy and suddenly tentacle like vines burst from his face and tangled itself into the Vongola's Mist Guardian, cutting the concentration of the eye patched girl and thus the floating debris slowly disappeared.
"W-what is that?!" Tsuna loudly exclaimed as he saw Chrome being strangled by a bunch of tentacle like things.
Ino ignored the brunet as she felt another displacement in the air and not a second later the once being strangled eye patched girl appeared behind the hooded toddler, her illusionary double gave out a a struggling act. The blonde glanced at the far right corner of the gym where a basket of basketballs suddenly disappeared.
"Weak." Mammon commented. "You won't even make a good side show."
"Who are you talking to?" Chrome asked as she revealed her escape.
"Over here." The indigo haired girl added as she released the illusions of her double and revealed the missing basketballs. Shocking several of her comrades of her sudden appearance.
"W-what just happened?" Yamamoto asked as he steadied for balance, he glanced at his friends and noticed that some of them are still outbalanced, since they were in the closer to the radius of Chrome's attack their senses was greatly affected.
"Illusions... You should know this since you have battled this technique before." Reborn commented getting the attention of the Vongola group, both he and Colonello were still standing, having their fair share of fighting illusionists in their past they have their own way of adapting in these kinds of situation.
"From the beginning of the battle those two had already created illusions, deceiving one another in a continuous flow and neither had stopped from their attacks." The gun wielding toddler elaborated. "It's a battle that one rarely sees."
'You give too much credit for those Guardians...' Ino thought as she overheard the Sun Arcobaleno's monologue. 'I would like to see them under the Sharingan.' She added vindicated at the not so subtle way of their attacks. They might have a very good imagination but they don't use their minds.
"Now that you mention it... Chrome's using Mokuro's state of hell, isn't she?" Tsuna commented. He remembered the first time he met Chrome the evening before their encounter with the Varia
Flashback:
"Reborn! Wait!" Tsuna called as he ran at towards Reborn. "You said he won't be coming home for next ten days!"
The 'he' Tsuna was preferring to was his father, Tsuna was surprised at seeing his dad already at home. The brunet was surprised to say at least.
"Tsu-kun!"
Tsuna stopped abruptly as the voice of Nana called meters away.
"Can you please get Lambo-kun and the others, dinner will be ready in an hour!" Nana called. "I'm preparing for a welcoming feast for your father!"
The brunet paused as the thought of his father entered his mind, he willed mind to stop the negative thoughts and flashbacks of his mother crying alone in kitchen began repeating in his mind. Tsuna was knocked out of his musings as Reborn jumped on his head.
"Hai, Maman, we'll get them." Reborn answered, the two watched as Nana returned back inside.
"Let's hurry Dame-Tsuna." Reborn ordered as he none too gently kicked his student. He eyed the brunet when he received no retorts, it was unusual for the boy to be quiet after being hit.
Minutes after wandering the area, Tsuna was still quiet, it unnerved the toddler since the silence was beginning to get uncomfortable - not that he'll admit it.
"Dame-Tsu-" Reborn was about to confront his student's dilemma when a voice called for them.
"Tsuna-kun!" The worried voice of Kyoko called for them as she ran in their direction.
"K-Kyoko?" Tsuna asked in surprise, seemingly knocked out of his thoughts and this time permanently.
"Did- hah- Lambo and the -hah- others already went home?" The blonde asked as she evened her breath, she had been running for fifteen minutes searching for the kids.
"I was looking for them actually." Tsuna replied.
"Oh no." Kyoko whispered.
"What happened?" Tsuna asked as alarm bells began to echo in his mind.
"Haru and I, was separated from them sometime ago. Haru decided that we split so we can find them faster." Kyoko explained and began biting her lower lip in worry.
"Don't worry Kyoko-chan, we'll take over." Tsuna said as he glanced at Reborn. "For now, call Haru and go to our house, mom has prepared a feast." the brunet added and hid the relief when Kyoko agreed although hesitantly.
Not a second after Kyoko turned at the corner, Tsuna ran frantically as he doubled his efforts in searching for the kids, repeating in his mind that the kids has no way of protecting themselves from assassins. Reborn jumped out of his perch and along his student.
"Stay away!" a panicked shout echoed in the street and Tsuna frantically rounded from one corner to another as the calls for help continued to echo.
'Why is no one checking the streets!? The shouts is loud enough to wake up the dead!' Tsuna thought as rounded the final corner and his eyes locked on the three running figures a few meters in front of him. Another much larger figure was gaining up on them, sword held up high and ready to strike the kids.
"Shit!" Tsuna muttered his first curse and began running towards the kids. He was no slouch when it comes to running since Reborn started his training regimen, the only thing that hindered his speed was his clumsiness.
He was twenty meters away from the kids, when their attacker decided to swing his weapon down. Tsuna widened his eyes in alarm as he watch the sword swung in an arch. "Fuuta! Get down!"
The brunet's voice was loud and filled with desperation, he held back his relief when the three followed his warning and barely dodged the blade, without a pause the attacker readied for another swing.
Tsuna didn't know what happened but in a blink of an eye, he threw his right shoe at the the attacker, the brunet was still comprehending how did he manage to do that, while watching his sneaker sailed in the air and landed right on the head of the attacker. 'Huh... It seems lady of luck granted me some of her blessing...'
Meanwhile, his tutor only rose an eyebrow his student. He was clutching Leon on his hand ready to shoot the attacker at moments notice but his student's action had stopped him from doing so. Granted that the hit distracted the assailant, however it seems that his partner was not.
Up in the air was another black clad attacker, sword high up and ready bring the weapon down towards the kids.
Tsuna's shout died in his throat when a sudden barrage of needles embedded itself at the airborne assailant, knocking him out cold as he landed in a heap on the cement. Not a second later the distracted assailant was attacked by multiple slashes of claws. The brunet stopped for a second when he saw who saved the kids.
It was Joshima Ken and Kakimoto Chikusa, both of them clad in their Kokuyo uniform.
"Tsuna-nii!" Fuuta shouted in relief as he ran towards his older brother figure, he was soon followed by a teary eyed Ipin and bawling Lambo.
Tsuna slowed down his ran and jogged towards the frantic children. He was a few meters away from them when a sudden ring in his mind urged him to hurry. He didn't ponder this phenomena when he saw another assailant landing behind Lambo who was unaware at the peril. Without a second thought, Tsuna leaped towards the cow attired boy and hugged the surprised toddler. The brunet curled up around Lambo, his back exposed at the nearing blade.
The Vongola heir expected a searing pain of the sword entering his body, but what he didn't expect was a clang of metal and followed by a gunshot. He dared take a look and saw an unfamiliar figure before him. The first thing he saw was the trident that was so eerily familiar, along with the aura of dread.
"Mokuro?" Was the first thought, but he easily batted that aside when the person turned around and he was met with large violet eyes and a very obvious feminine figure.
"No. My name is Dokuro Chrome... Nice to meet you Boss." The girl replied.
Flashback End.
It was sorted out in the end with some vague explanation from Reborn and the chaos that was soon followed by the entrance of Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei who were thankfully stopped from confronting the Kokuyo group by the arrival of the CEDEF. The announcement of the Ring Battles had made both the gang and the Kokuyo group put a temporary alliance. Tsuna was just thankful that he didn't became the referee for another argument.
"Aa." Reborn agreed, seemingly ignoring the spaced out look of his student.
"Oh, I stand corrected." Mammon said as he turned around. "Very well then, I'm going to use this to my heart's content."
Without another word chains dropped under the cloak and the unmoved frog on top of his head began to crack like a newborn egg, seconds later a reptile emerged from the cracks and began to hover above the hooded toddler's head. The snake like creature bit rear end representing the Ouroboros. As the final link in the chain dropped on the floor, both Colonello and Reborn's pacifier glowed.
"So he's still alive...kora." Colonello muttered as he saw the indigo glow of the hooded toddler's pacifier.
"It's confirmed then. That chibi's true identity was the Arcobaleno Viper, holder of the indigo pacifier and well known for his psychic abilities." Reborn added blankly.
"Psychic!? You mean an ESP?" Gokudera asked, a glint in his eye told his curiosity of the revealed Arcobaleno.
The silver head's question went unanswered as Reborn and Colonello focused their attention at the now floating chibi.
"I haven't questioned it yet, but why did our pacifiers didn't glow when we first met him? Kora" Colonello asked as he rubbed the orb hanging on his neck.
"I think it has to do with the chain that wrapped the pacifier, it seems to have sealed the power of the pacifier." Reborn replied.
Ino took notice of that and decided to get some sample of those chains, although she might need some plan...
"Haku, your position?" Ino softly asked as she pressed her communicator.
"Five o'clock on Varia's position, at about seven feet." Haku's soft voice replied.
Ino locked her eyes on the position of her invisible partner and measured the distance between him and the discarded chains. It was fortunate that the chain was about fifteen feet away from his supposed position that would be a short jump despite the length.
"Very well, I need you to get that discarded chain. I overheard the Arcobaleno that it can seal the presence of their flames..." Ino said.
"Roger." Haku replied.
"Use the illusions for a cover." Ino added, getting another affirmative.
"Oi, oi!" Gokudera asked startling some of his friends. "If he's an Arcobaleno then won't Chrome have a hard time against him?"
"Now that you mentioned it..." Yamamoto added as he glanced at their Mist Guardian.
"I'm afraid that this will be disadvantageous for your guardian, kora." Colonello said, glancing at the stoic feature of the Sun Arcobaleno.
"Don't be quick to decide, Colonello. Dokuro is more than an average illusionist." Reborn countered.
Chrome seemed to agree as she put up a determined face. "No matter who you are. I. Will. Not. Lose!"
With that Chrome attacked, swinging her trident towards the floating chibi. The game of cat and mouse continued, until the indigo haired girl had enough and summoned snakes out of nowhere and entangled them towards her enemy.
"That's the state of the beast!" Tsuna helpfully informed.
'No seals?' Ino asked no one, she began to compare the snake summoned by the Vongola Mist Guardian and the summons of her superior Anko. She realized that the illusionist's summon are only regular snakes, while those of Anko's has some semblance of intelligence, but Ino would admit that summoning snakes on the lieu has can be very good when it come to distractions.
"Hn, so this in not a mere illusion." Mammon idly commented as the enormous snake began coiling around his body.
It seems to work as the toddler slowly fell landed on the floor, the Vongola group was awed at the strength but their admiration quickly fell into surprise as the Arcobaleno suddenly gave out a burst of energy flinging the flailing reptiles around the gym.
Tsuna was unlucky when one of the larger than average snake landed on him and began to coil itself on his arm.
"HIIEEEE! Get it off! Get it off!" Tsuna shrieked as waved his arm, the brunet was so panicked that he didn't noticed that the snake had reared up his head preparing to strike the unprotected neck.
Tsuna froze when he saw the incoming bite and just centimeters away from his jugular an arm snapped in front of him and grabbed the head in the most harmless way. The brunet robotically turned his head and found out that Yamamoto was the one who saved him.
Although despite the head being held, it was not the same for it's body. The coiling muscles of the snake tightened and Tsuna bit back a shout as he felt his arm was beginning to feel numb.
"Juudaime!" Gokudera shouted in alarm as he found that his Juudaime being wrapped up by a giant snake.
Gokudera, with the help of Ryohei manage to wrestle the snake from their boss' arm while Yamamoto holds the head. The two Arcobaleno watched the chaos with an amused smile, finding the teens struggle to be quite entertaining, how couldn't they? When the brunette was shrieking like a girl, the raven seemingly petting the phone size head of the snake and the two silver heads was in a shouting match, one of extreme and the other a vocabulary fit sailors.
The boys' relief at their victory against the snake was cut short when columns of lava burst out of the floor. Tsuna, Gokudera, Ryohei, Basil and Yamamoto scrambled at asafe distance away from the fiery columns as they began to feel the heat from it. They know that it was an illusion but their senses refused to accept it.
Suddenly Mammon came bursting out of one of the columns, unharmed by the heat and not even a scorch in his attire.
"Your illusions are indeed first class..." Mammon praised. "If one would believed that those columns of fire are real then they will burn themselves..."
"However... If one castor has a much stronger illusion." The floating toddler began as his hooded face gave out a glow. "Then the weak one will shatter!"
With a single blue flash all of the fiery columns froze and shattered into million pieces, creating a snow like cover in the gym.
Ino was alarmed at the sudden event. Their technique can give them invisibility, the seals can make their presence disappear but they don't have anything that will make them intangible! Without further ado she ran on the walls and stuck herself on the ceiling and waited for the next course of action.
"Haku, what's your situation?" Ino asked as she scanned the floor noting the last postion of her partner and gave out a sigh as she notice the lack of footprints near the Varia.
"Ceiling of the stage." Haku replied promptly.
"Did you manage to get the chains?" Ino asked, the fire column was enough to be a distraction.
"Negative." Haku answered. "The boss of the Varia squad kept a peripheral of the chains, although I think I can get it now since the floor is covered in snow."
"Make sure you leave no trace." Ino asked as she observed the fight below.
"Roger." Haku replied.
The feminine male spy grabbed his customized senbon and attached it into a reinforced metal wire he wasn't worried of the light reflecting from his weapons since he applied some non-reflecting coat, a standard preparation in their village. Haku, despite holding two invisible things has no trouble tying the string at an end of the unseen needle, he made this procedure a thousand times that it seems that it was a second nature to him.
He made a mental mark and aimed his senbon at the middle of the links, with a swift throw the weapon embedded itself right between the two links and with a slight adjustment in the wire, the senbon touched the chains, he needed some form of contact with the chains for his next move. With a single hand sign, Haku trailed his technique into the wire and it transferred to the senbon. Seconds later snow began to grow on the chains like a moss until it covered all of the chains, he gave an experimental tug and smiled when the snow was hard enough to attach to the senbon. Haku reapplied the camouflage and now the snow covered chains is invisible under the white illusion.
'Time for the waiting game...' Haku thought as he watched the battle, he only need one more distraction to pull the chains under the snow illusion and get the chains out of the battle.
"The art of illusion seizes the control of the 5 senses, the stronger the illusion the stronger the control, and thus the more successful you will be in battle and infiltrations." Mammon lectured.
Ino subtly nodded, agreeing at the words of the Arcobaleno. Despite having different techniques when it come to illusions, it is and will always be the goal of an illusionist, and that is to deceive.
"However, when the illusion of an illusionist was countered by a stronger illusion. It means that their of their own perception is snatched away." Mammon added as the fallen snow stuck on the clothes of the indigo haired girl began to multiply at a rapid rate and continued to spread until it covered her limbs.
Chrome began to panic as the snow spread to her body and began to crystallize into ice, her fingers numb from the sudden cold began to loosen her hold on her trident and when she realized it she strengthened her hold and gripped her weapon tightly. With a renewed vigor she pulled through the illusion and slammed the butt into the now thick ice, she made a crack but the ice was already too hard.
"Oho... What did I see there?" Mammon mumbled as he closed in with the girl.
The indigo haired girl tightened her hold into a vice-like grip, an action that piqued the interest of her opponent.
"It seems, that weapon of yours hold some value?" The floating toddler closed in, enjoying the fear beginning to appear on the girl's features.
"Dont!-" Chrome leaned back, trying to escape but to no avail, she was firmly stuck in an ice.
"Ah... You just answered my question..." The toddler muttered, his pacifier began to glow, adding panic to the girl before him.
"DON'T!-" Chrome shouted, eliciting worried glances from her side.
"This is bad..." Reborn grimly stated, eyes hidden beneath his hat.
Slowly crystal patterns appeared on the trident, eerily reminiscent of snowflakes. It soon began to spread rapidly throughout the trident, slowly but surely cracks began to appear in on the trident, setting more panic towards its holder. It was a slow progress, chip by chip, the flaking ice of a trident began to fall. By the time that the half bottom part of the trident was gone Chrome a crying mess, she tried to mend the weapon but she was too stressed to even think of anything but the broken trident before her.
"No...-No..nononono..." Chrome repeatedly chanted as desperately gathered the chipped pieces in her hand.
The Varia watched the pitiful scene with indifference, while half of the Vongola group turned their heads away, only the two Arcobaleno, Chikusa and surprisingly Tsuna continued to look at.
The Vongola Heir watch the scene with a stony expression, nails digging in his palms nearly drawing out blood. Tsuna wanted to stop this! This is too cruel no one deserved to be treated like this. The brunet watched as only the three prongs of the trident was left. Chrome held it in her chest like a lifeline, eyes already red from crying. Tsuna closed his eyes and held his breath, the image flashed into his mind and saw something he didn't notice before.
'W-was that b-blood?' He thought and to confirm his thought he opened his eyes again saw blood flowing like tears at the edge of Chrome's lip.
"That's enough..." He whispered, eyes shadowed by his hair Tsuna would only speak one name. "Reborn..."
Without a word, Reborn flicked a blue pill towards his student. He wanted to shoot that bastard of a Arcobaleno to the pits of hell but he was held back by the orders, if not his complete trust to his dame of a student, then to hell with those orders! However as much as he like to do do that, Chrome's health was their priority, payback can wait.
Tsuna deftly caught the pill, he took out his mittens and took one last look at the now helpless Chrome, only one of the prongs was left. He was frozen in shock when the stomach of the girl before him collapsed as soon as the last chip of the trident fell from her hands. It was gruesome scene, blood was coughed out in large amount as the girl heaved uncontrollably, and with no innards to support her weight she was slowly leaning back.
"What...?" Tsuna numbly asked.
There is one major crisis that everyone was now realizing, with the girl's lower body frozen solid on the ground and a heavy upper body, add to the equation of an unsupported spine, only one was insane enough the state the gruesome end.
"She's going to snap!" Belphegor madly cackled, getting the attention of the Vongola group who looked away.
As they turned around they could only see their Mist Guardian slowly leaning back and as if in slow motion they can only watch in sickeningly fashion as the girl continued to leaned back into an unimaginable degree.

"Ino! Permission to intervene!" Haku whispered fiercely hands already in formed in a seal.
"Proceed!" Ino replied quickly as much.
No matter what they learned in the past, or how they will make their future. There is only one thing that echoed in their minds... Live without Regrets! Let the Will of Fire shine upon you!
With a flurry of hand signs Haku dropped and silently stuck himself into the wall a feet a above the floor ,with the last hand seal he slammed his hands into the snow illusion and spread his attack. He watch with a critical eye as snow began to clump into a small hill, he added more energy into his snow and it continue to grow in size and speed until it cushioned the now half conscious Chrome.
"...Thirty degrees..." Ino called. "Five less and her spine will definitely crack.."
Haku nodded mutely as continued to add more volume to the snow hill until Chrome's back was only leaning at about 70 degrees from the horizontal. Haku paused as he took a look at the indigo haired girl, she was breathing rather haggardly but at least she was not coughing out any blood. Without a noise Haku returned to his perch and returned to observing the aftermath. Luckily with all the eyes on his snow hill, he mange to get the frozen chain without anyone noticing.
"What the heck happened!?" Gokudera was the one who broke the rather eerie silence.
"Trash! What did you do!?" Xanxus shouted in his throne, his eyes still held the perpetual glare but with a hint of confusion.
"I didn't do anything Boss!" Mammon replied, he saw it with his own eyes, and it was no illusion either.
With a silent glow of his pacifier he canceled his snow illusion, and everyone's eyes locked in a bridge snow lying in perfect camouflage with the Arcobaleno's illusion snow.
It started from a seemingly random area of the floor and spreading fifteen feet until it reached the snowy hill that had suddenly grown out of nowhere.
Everybody was so focused at the sudden mystery appearance of the snowy hill that nobody noticed the mist that suddenly engulfed the now unconscious Chrome. The mist slowly spread until the lights had dimmed from it's sheer density.
"Kufufufufu..."
A light baritone laugh echoed in gymnasium.
"Kufufufufu..."
"He's here..." Tsuna said as his eyes darted in the mist, trying see the impossible.
"Who Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked, half knowing the identity of the person.
"Mukuro." The brunet replied as he clutched the pill with his mittened hand.
"Oya, oya... Who's the scumbag who took pleasure in seeing my sweet little Chrome suffer?"
The echoing voiced asked, a blood red eye opened in the darkened mist, its kanji number six was eerily glowing as it stared at the Arcobaleno of the Indigo Pacifier.
