I have always wanted to write this idea. It was inspired by a fic (that I honestly don't remember which.) It's cliche but I love it.

English is not my first language and this story is not beta-ed. None of the character are mine. Please enjoy.


"Do you have any objection, Xanxus-sama?"

When the Cervello only asked Xanxus and seemed to nod as if the conclusion had been made with the agreement of both sides irked Tsuna although thinking that, he couldn't really say anything. Not when his father, who apparently was from the mafia- which is a revelation in a sucks way - was the one to ensue this conflict from the first place. Not when the situation is more of Tsuna- challenging the scary looking group that is literally an elite assassin group.

Then, a squeaky voice spoke out, surprising everyone.

"I do have an objection."

The Cervello who was about to leave stopped and looked at Reborn. Rather, all attention was shifted toward Reborn right now.

"What?"

Tsuna asked as confusion and expectation formed in his eyes.

"Why don't we solve this easier way?"

"What do you mean, arcobaleno Reborn?"

"Yeah, we don't have to fight anymore?"

"Erase that wistful thinking, dame-Tsuna." Reborn jumped and kicked Tsuna in the shin, sending him falling into his butt.

"However, if it works, we probably wouldn't have to undergo the ring competition."

"Voooiiii, what are you trying to say here!?"

"I'm talking about this," Reborn then kicked Lambo who was near him now and a bazooka fell out into Reborn's hand.

"The 10-year bazooka."

"Shishishi, what kind of bullshit is this?"

"It's a hidden weapon from the Bovino Famiglia." Mammon murmured.

"And?"

"Muu, I'll charge you for this. The bazooka's bullet was known to exchange someone with their 10 year future self. The current travels to the future while the one in the future travels back into the past for 5 minutes."

"There's outrageous weapons like that? From a famiglia I barely heard of nevertheless."

"Vooiii, whatever it is, what are you going to do with that shitty weapon!?"

"Wait, don't tell me you're trying to-" Iemitsu's words were soon cut by Reborn.

"Get answers from their future self? Yes."

Reborn lightly tapped the bazooka, inclining his head with a silent questioning on their answer.

"Hah!" Xanxus let out a snort and smirked. "One after another. Interesting."

"I'll take that as yes then."

Without warning, Reborn aimed the bazooka at Tsuna, ignoring the shout coming from his student, telling him to wait. In a split second, Reborn fired another shot toward Xanxus.

"Don't dodge."

Soon, smoke engulfed both leaders as others stared at the smoke with interest.

"...This is unexpected."

A warm voice that sounded slick and smooth talked. The smoke slowly dispersed to show a person, much taller than the one that used to be there, brushing dust off their expensive looking cloth.

"Jyuudaime?" Gokudera tentatively called out.

The said person hummed as he turned toward Gokudera. His eyes then gleamed in amusement and fondness.

"You really look cute when you're young, Hayato. If my past self hears me say that, he'll probably hyperventilate. Well, all of you look cute."

Older Tsuna shifted his gaze before it landed at Cervello and hardened slightly. Iemitsu, who was standing not far from Cervello, had felt the gaze just brushed past him. Even after Tsuna looked around, he was actively avoiding looking below, at where Reborn was.

"Trash, what is the meaning of this?"

A deep gruff voice talked with a sharp edge. People tensed at it unconsciously.

"I'm back into trash now?"

Tsuna smiled at Xanxus who narrowed his eyes and scoffed instead. He frowned his brow as he stared at Tsuna.

"You look like shit."

Tsuna's appearance, although dignified, does indeed look messy. There was a scorching burnt over the edge of the sleeve of white suit and the worst was his face with the heavy bags in his eyes. His cheeks were rather hollowed and his features were pale to the point of a rather worrying state.

"You didn't look like this the last time we had the call."

Xanxus glared at Tsuna, although, in his eyes, there were concerns which only Tsuna and Reborn caught. Iemitsu had seen a glimpse but soon dismissed it. Tsuna put a hand on his hip and another on the side of his head, messing up his hair with a sigh.

"I'm sorry for lying to you-"

"When was the last time you slept?"

"...You know the situation, Xanxus."

"So nothing is under control."

"No, everything is-"

"I don't appreciate you lying to me as if it was for my sake." Xanxus hissed at Tsuna, shutting him up. The gun that was in his hand glowed.

"That's it, I'm coming back to the headquarters."

"No, Xanxus, you need to stay on there and observe-"

"To which that is a complete bull. The enemies were never there in the first place. Hidden supplies? Information gathering? It's a cover isn't it? Do you think we aren't able to gather information from where we were? An invitation for negotiation? Right after they butchered up your men you sent? Are you out of your mind?"

The varia stared at their boss in surprise. They probably had never heard Xanxus talk that much before. However, what comes next surprises them even more.

"Xanxus, that is an order. Stay hidden and continue reporting the situation."

Tsuna's warm brown eyes flickered amber as soft flame emitted out of Tsuna's body. His whole aura that was warm and welcoming before now only shouts dominance.

"Do you think I will-!"

Xanxus suddenly stopped as he looked deep into Tsuna's eyes. He knows those eyes. That annoying eyes that only scream trouble and more importantly, an unwavering determination. It was a state where the damned hyper intuition was probably on its highest.

"...Another shitty plan, isn't it?"

Xanxus let out a disbelief laughter.

"I really pity your guardians. Didn't you swear not to pull another one after that incident?"

Tsuna's eyes flickered brown back as he side-glanced.

"I did say under some exceptions."

"You and your trash intuition that only spell troubles. Alright, whatever mini-boss. Bring Vongola into ruin or you dig your own hell for all I care."

"Please don't jinx me like that, Xanxus. I've said this before but, take care and be careful."

"...Last warning for you, mini-boss. Are you really doing it?"

"There is no other way."

They had a short stare down before Xanxus broke it with a click of his tongue and crossed his arm.

"5 minute is over, mini-boss." Xanxus glances back at his before grit his teeth and mutters, "...You take care too."

"Of course!"

No one had catched what Xanxus had said other than Reborn and Tsuna who replied excitedly with a bright smile.

Before the smoke engulfed them again, sending them back toward their own time. Silently and secretly, Tsuna looked at Reborn with a warm gaze and smiled. He said something but Reborn couldn't make it out as it was cut because of the smoke. However, he could predict it.

"...So was that…determined?'"

"Yes it did."

Reborn tipped his fedora to cover his face.

"It's not."

Xanxus, who now is back, glares at Tsuna who sat there blankly. His mouth was formed into a thin line. Before, he was looking at Tsuna as if he was worthless prey. Now he had looked at Tsuna with ferociousness a predator would have if they were to meet with another predator. He now saw Tsuna as a threat. A very dangerous one.

"Be prepared, trash. I will rip you apart in the match. No tricks, only fair and square fights. You better train your ass off if you want to survive."

He growled before he turned and vanished. His guardians soon followed suit.

"Tsuna?"

Yamamoto nudged Tsuna cautiously. When Tsuna didn't react much, Reborn was about to hit him with the hammer.

"Yes! Wait, wait, don't hit me, Reborn!"

With a disappointed huff, Reborn put away the hammer.

"What did you see in the future, Jyuudaime?"

"A-ah! I don't really see anything. It's just in a large and fancy looking office. I guess I'm still in shock at how luxurious it looks."

"Did you by chance break something?"

When they earned a silence from Tsuna, Yamamoto and Sasagawa sweat dropped.

"Maa, it would be okay, it's something from 10 year future after all. It won't be a game-over. Instead, we have to focus on this one, right?"

"Yeah, Jyuudaime, let's beat them up and show who's the rightful owner of the ring!"

"Extreme win!"

"Gyahaha, baka-Tsuna, shiny thing is mine!"

They then laughed it off as Tsuna awkwardly laughed along and walked home together. In the midst of that, only Reborn was silent with shadow over his face.

'Tsuna must have seen something. Something related to what future Tsuna and Xanxus was talking about.'

Although Reborn was not happy that something was kept from him, he understood that something from the future shouldn't be asked further. Messing with time only brought headaches. Instead of that, he should focus on the current matter.

"Reborn?"

Such as speaking of the devil.

With a smirk, Reborn leaped and landed a kick on Tsuna before resting on his shoulder. He earned a protest but with a cock of his gun had shut his useless student up.

Yes, he should focus on his helpless student first.

"Please take care of me, Reborn. And thank you."


Bonus:

"In the end, isn't using the bazooka pointless, kid?"

"How dare you say Reborn-san's idea is pointless, baseball idiot!"

"No, it had riled up the enemies even more. Which means I have to train dame-Tsuna twice harder."

"Hieee!"

"Be prepared."

Tsuna could only scream, lamenting his poor life.


"Master, we got a call from the HQ!"

Iemitsu turned toward Basil seriously and inclined for him to continue.

"They said that a Gola Mosca suddenly landed in the middle of the HQ and killed Nono then…Nono came out of it."

"What is his condition?"

"Lack of energy, malnourished, dehydrated, and in need of flames, master."

"We'll go back immediately."

"What about the match, master?"

"You stay here and help my son. I'll count on you, Basil."

"Roger that, master! I will do my utmost best to assist Sawada-dono!"
