Reborn was all too happy to comply with Nono's request, even if it meant holding Baka-Yasu's training for a few weeks.
That assassination was played out perfectly, on a level that only housed Reborn and a very select few. He wanted to know who did it and how he's never heard of him before.
It was quite simple finding the client; a vigilante group. Of course, they had to be shown Leon before they gave the name 27.
Then, for the next month, Reborn went down the long line of private clients of 27, those that were repeated, denied and recommended.
What more, they were all small families, but they were similar to Nono; kind and merciful.
So, by the first Thursday of April, more than a month since the assassination and 3 days before the start of Ieyasu's second year-Reborn's deadline, he was nearing the end of his search.
The raven learned he had a mane of brown hair with a long tail, strange orange-brown eyes, around 5'7 or 5'9. He seemed inadept at the beginning, too innocent to kill, but was always very composed and stoic after he finished.
The brunette would always say, "We are bound by the same blood on our hands. I will trust you with my face, and trust me with your thoughts. If you betray this bond, your existence shall be no longer," and then leave.
As Reborn got to the end of the line, 27 was deaging and the words differed, just a little bit.
Today he was visiting the 7th to last. Shockingly, his home was the mansion of one of Nono's largest allies. It was smaller than the Vongola's base, but it was still beautiful, and lacked the yelling and small explosions.
What shocked Reborn more, though, was that the old man was having a tea party with the last six clients, all important Vongola allies. What more, they were expecting him, thus why they gathered.
Those 7 men were the closest to the mysterious hitman, and had repeatedly requested 27's services while watching him grow.
The first, who actually only had white hair, was Kawahira. He was a weapons dealer and apparently raised 27.
"We have been watching you for a month. If truly wish to meet him, go to the Cielo Cafe, tomorrow, in Venice. Wait until 4:30 and you may ask him what you want," the 1st instructed.
Reborn scoffed, "How do you not know I wish to kill him for Nono?"
The sly dealer smirked. "Nono is not one to recklessly destroy a potential ally with such great strength."
Unable to deny it, Reborn left silently, and headed to Venice.
