Chapter 6:Welcome to Konohagakure no Sato
Back in Suna,Tsuna was given permission by the Kazekage to enjoy a few months off since he(er,the other Tsuna before he took over) had been on duty nonstop.
Of course,the Kazekage wouldn't want him to collapse or anything(This is Cozart--now Rasa--we're talking about)Suna citizen or not,he was one of them now.
And right now,Tsuna had bid his farewell to the Suna genin team and left them to their exploring while he looks for his guardians.
Tsuna whistled in awe,impressed by the beauty of the hidden village.
Such beauty it had presented,that he couldn't help but be impressed.
Sure,it wasn't like the villages(or Namimori,which was more advance than any hidden village)or big cities like the ones in his world,but somehow...there's this beauty that he had seen in each village that seemed to emit some sort of aura.
And yes,even the so called "dullest" hidden village has its charms.
Sunagakure was--maybe he was being bias since its 'his' hidden village--(even though he was supposed to be a Konoha citizen by birth)beautiful;to be honest,a lot of the places here had different charms,but all beauty either way.
Byakuran--who was walking beside him--smiled and waved(like some sort of politician)at the villagers/citizens of Konoha that they passed by.
...Who gave him(and Tsuna of course) looks of suspicion,wariness or just plain curiosity.
There was even a clan head(a Yamanaka--Yamanaka Inoichi--by the looks of it)who greeted the marshmallow lover.
"Nufu--ehem,back again so soon,Byakuran?"
Tsuna blinked in slight surprise,wondering who they blond clan head reminded him off...
'How curious...even his aura is similar to him.' He observed,tilting his head to the side as he smiled warmly when the clan head flicked his eyes and nodded his head briefly towards him.
Somehow,he couldn't help but feel his Hyper Intuition tingle:not in a bad way though...but more of like it was trying to tell him something.
"Yep~!Here on a special mission from Kirigakure and Sunagakure~!" Byakuran eagerly bounded over to the other.
Tsuna observed the two talk,before taking notice of a Nara and Akamichi fidgeting near the Yamanaka clan head.
'Hm...two more clanheads.They must be Nara Shikaku and Akamichi Choza.' He mused to himself,eyeing them curiously.
The Nara clanhead flinched when he glanced at him(or was it just his imagination?)while the Akamichi kept trying to get their fellow clanhead's attention(frantically...why would they be frantic?)for some reason.
Maybe they were in a hurry...after all,the Chuunin Exams will be starting soon.
"--Hai,hai~!Thanks for the reminder,will do~!Mata ne~!" A voice cheerfully bid farewell,snapping Tsuna out of his thoughts.
He removed his gaze from a tree that he was focusing on,before training his eyes at the retreating backs of the three clan heads,still curious.
He was amused to see the Nara and Akamichi somehow being in a hurry and seemed to be scolding or in a heated argument with the Yamanaka.
Tsuna teared his eyes away before turning his attention to the excited albino.
Tsuna wouldn't admit it(lest he worry his fellow Sky),but he had actually been a bit emotionally unstable ever since he had arrived in this world a few months ago.
As to what the reason is,it was actually quite simple...
It was the side effects of the war that he had won in his past life:yes,it was the mafia war that had cost him to lose a lot of his famiglia members.
...And the blasted war that made him lose his precious guardians.
Tsuna quickly shook his head at the memory,not noticing the look of concern in the Mare Sky's face.
There was no use in staying depressed:his guardians would have liked for him to be happy in his new life.
He would have liked the same thing for them if he were in their place.
Plus there was no use in being sad and all...his guardians wilk no longer be dead;in this world,they have been reborn again and are alive.
"...Byakuran,I've been curious about this since I think they might have changed names,but what are Mukuro and Kyoya-kun's last names?" Tsuna asked,turning to his friend.
Byakuran hummed,also turning to the brunet.
"Current last surnames,or past last surames?"
Tsuna blinked,tilting his head to the side.
"They have two surnames?"
"Yep~!A past and present surname~!"
"Erm, I supoosed I would like to know both at least..."
Byakuran grinned,humming something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like "Ran,ran,ran"(which reminded him of a chibi Byakuran chanting that when their screen was hacked in the future-that-never-was)
before he bothered answering.
"Well~Muku-chan and Chrome-chan would be Nara Mukuro and Nara Kuromu...Kyo-chan is Uchiha Kyoya;but they all changed their names to their old lives' names and left their clans for some reason.Muku-chan obviously didn't like his name that's why he changed it,and as for Chrome-chan she just tweaked it back a bit to be like her past life's name--they also left their clans after declaring that they needed to do something important.Kyo-chan so didn't like his name and declared that he wanted to change it,so he did so by changing it to his old name and basically abandoned his clan due to all of them being,ah...too arrogant~!" Byakuran smiled his usual smile.
"Ah,but not without beating up his arrogant clan members,of course~!" The Mare Sky grinned,doing a weird little twirl.
Tsuna hummed,feeling exasperated at his Cloud's actions.
"...No surprise there.That's to be expected of Kyoya-kun.Honestly,I'd be shocked if he didn't even do anything before leaving his clan." Tsuna sweatdropped,smiling wryly.
Byakuran laughed in a free spirited way,as he agreed with a nod.
"Well,you can say that again...I bet that it was also because they were all "fake carnivores";only flaunting off--or so he says anyway--their so called skills of really training like him.The only one who really trained hard was a couple of people only...Fugaku,Mikoto,Izumi,
Obito,Shisui,Itachi, and Sasuke.While the majority of the Uchiha DO have a reason to be arrogant and proud of their clan itself for they have power and strength to back up their claims,I suppose it did get in Kyo-chan's nerves." The albino smiled,his pale lavender eyes blinking slowly in thought.
"Do you...know where they are?"
"Mm~...probably on the Forest Ground 44:also known as the infamous Forest of Death~!But trust me,it ain't that scary though!" The marshmallow lover exclaimed.
The brunet sweatdropped again at the genuine look of worry that the albino was thinking that Tsuna might get scared by what he revealed him--as if the Forest of Death was worse than Reborn.
If anything,he'd probably choose to stay in that said forest instead of being thrown into the spartan's training course again.
"Ah,well...I know that,Byakuran.You do remember who trained me--I quite doubt you'll forget that anytime soon--and that I've seen things more terrifying and encountered more unspeakable things." He pointed out.
"Ah,right,right~!" The albino sheepishly smiled.
"Oh,right I almost forgot...have I told you that Enma might also get transmigrated to this world?" Hummed the former world conquerer out loud.
The brunet's eyes widened in surprise,but at the same time joy sparkled within the sunset-orange orbs.
"Wait,what?!Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" He exclaimed.
"Well...ah...I was saving it for last?After all,'๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก',ne?" The albino laughed nervously and began sweating.
Tsuna glared at him.
" '๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก',my ass.You forgot on purpose." He deadpanned as he huffed.
"Maybe~!" Byakuran stuck out his tongue.
Then he paused,bouncing excitedly on his feet.
"Hey!What you said rhymed!" He grinned widely at the brunet like a child on Christmas Eve.
Tsuna only smiled,but his eyes were coldly looking at him.
"Byakuran?" Tsuna began.
"Hai,hai~?" Byakuran responded,with the same expression still on his face.
"...Please just go and let me enjoy vacation." Tsuna sighed in resignation.
Byakuran pouted for a bit,before sticking his tongue out and retreating.
"Okay~!Ne,Tsu-chan...you know how to get there,right?"
"Hai..."
"I'll be off then~!I have a meeting with the Hokage~!Ciao,ciao~!" Byakuran cheerfully waved,before skipping away and disappearing from his view.
Tsuna sighed again as he shook his head,but smiled fondly at the albino's antics.
The brunet then continued on in his exploration to find his guardians as he headed towards the training ground.
Tsuna felt his right eye twitch.
How?Just how did he get himself in this situation?
And just why the hell is there a centipede who looked like it was cuddling up against him,while he stood still and contemplated his life choices?
And the size was huge!Abnormal!
It defies every logic!A centipede doesn't cuddle!A centipede isn't suppose to be this large!It wasn't even supposed to be a large as a typical modern Japanese house!
And a centipede sure as hell doesn't purr like a fucking cat either!
'Screw logic!No logic,sanity,or common sense was ever in my presence anyway!' He twitched,before sighinf in resignation.
It actually came to this situation because when he was calmly strolling around to head to where he sensed his guardians' flames were,it had suddenly attacked him out of nowhere...
...It probably thought him as food.
Then,after he singed it a bit with his flames(because we all know Tsuna is a saint and would never hurt someone unless provoked or you threatened his family)it had began following him like a dog while at the same time it purred like a cat whenever it cuddled him.
"Forget getting any logic from here,I should ask if it could give me a ride to my guardians." He grumbled.
Then he hopped onto the centipede's head,and pointed towards the direction where the two guardians were.
"Forward!" He ordered,and in his excitement to see his guardians again,he forgot the fact that he was riding a centipede and not a horse.
He realized it a bit too late and only after the centipede was already crawling.
(And boy,he hope that Natsu wouldn't get jealous because he did not even consider this thing as a pet or companion...not that he wouldn't reject it either,because he was a Sky and Skies accept all,but Natsu will always be his best pal.)
Tsuna facepalmed.
"...I forgot that you're a centipede and not a horse..."
