Volume One

World of Remnant

Chapter Fifteen: Character – Tsunayoshi


(Background)

Tsunayoshi Sawada, Tsuna for short, is a young man of the age of 17. He stands at the height of 5 feet and 9 inches – which is approximately 175.3 cm high. With wild brown hair and eyes, Tsuna is a lean boy with an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders.

Born under the prestigious family of the Vongola Industries, a Dust and weaponry company that rivals the Schnee Dust Company, Tsuna was expected of many things at a young age. This results to his slight lack of confidence. Added with his lonesome childhood for being depicted as the "boy who can get everything he wanted", Tsuna was in danger of growing up to be a cowardly and weak individual.

This however, changed, when Tsuna's father met up with two other men as a means of celebration for a reunion. Having been brought along, Tsuna was met with his father's friend's daughter, Yang Xiao Long. As many would have guess, with Tsuna's meek nature and Yang's outgoing nature, the two clicked and quickly became friends.

One day, at the age of 10, Yang suddenly forced Tsuna along to an unknown adventure. With her half-sister, Ruby Rose, tucked away asleep in a red wagon, the three ventured through the woods and into the clearing where an old house stood. However, the adventure soon turned into a misadventure, as the group was suddenly ambushed by a pack of Beowolves. Sensing danger, Tsuna was the first to react as he pushed Yang and Ruby to the side to protect them. It was here that the boy activated his Semblance, seemingly able to see just where the monster was about the attack. With continuous use of his Semblance, however, Tsuna was soon tired out and injured at the shoulder, bearing a scar he still holds today.

The day was saved when Qrow Branwen and Reborn entered the fray and slew the remaining Grimm.

The day after, Yang suddenly grew to be protective over Tsuna, vowing to never let him out of her sight.

Years have passed, and Yang began to attend Signal Academy while Tsuna was privately trained by Reborn, his family's most skilled Hunter, along with several others. Trained in martial arts and a vast selection of weaponry, Tsuna was finally allowed to attend Signal once he turned 14. Despite arriving at the Pre-Hunter school late, Tsuna quickly rose up in ranks. Despite not making it to the top, as the boy wanted to appear humble, Tsuna was still flattered over his fighting techniques as well as ability to create nearly any kind of weapon. His unique skill of being able to create a large contraption and then further compacting said contraption into a smaller form made the headlines for nearly a year.

Despite his earned small fame, the boy continued to be humble and treasured his bonds with his friends heavily.

A year before Tsuna was accepted to Beacon, a rather cataclysmic tragedy happened. Tsuna's father struck a deal with his age long friend, the CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, and Tsuna was forced to partake in a ritual with a member of the Schnee Dust Company that would uphold the future of both organizations. Distraught and desperate, Tsuna, along with his fellow victim, furthered said deal in saying that if they [Tsuna and his fellow victim] were to find something that would negate the deal, than the contract would be canceled.

The pact made and accepted, Tsuna would then spend nearly half of his remaining year constructing many machinery and contraptions that would help him fight against the forces of the Grimm. Developing his fighting abilities, Tsuna would soon pass the preliminary exam to Beacon and be accepted a week later.

Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months and finally, the day has come for Tsuna to embark in his next step to becoming what he sought to become: someone who protects.


(Appearance)

While being a 17 year old boy, Tsuna is fairly short for his age group. Having a childish, yet mature face, only added to his naïve-look.

However, looks can be deceiving, as Tsuna is, in fact, the next heir to the Vongola Industries. Founded by his grandfather, and now headed by his father, Tsuna is in line to inherit the prestigious weapons company that rivals the Schnee Dust Company.

Aside from his heir status, Tsuna is a humble young man. Despite having the money to buy himself the best armory and weaponry, the brunette settled with a simple combat look. Garbed in an orange collared shirt with sleeves rolled up and a white shirt underneath, Tsuna also wears his weapon in its inactive form, a simple black glove with red metallic wrists and a framed blue gem settled on the back of the glove.

He wears tanned cargo pants, held up by a belt with a red buckle etched with an "x" mark, and white motocross boots. Attached to his pants is a chain with seven empty clips within it. Inside the side pockets of his pants, Tsuna keeps vials of Dust within, ready to be used to replace the Dust on his weapon.

Underneath his garment, Tsuna wears a chain necklace, to which a ring with his family's crest etched onto it. Despite Yang's teasing, Tsuna assures that the ring does hold significant meaning. Tsuna also wears red headphones to use as a communications device as well as a supporting device for his weapon.


(Weapon)

The Multi-Action Dust Gauntlets, named "Leo Breaker".

"Leo Breaker" is a specialized gauntlet created by Tsuna at Signal Academy. By inputting the technology of Dust together with weapons, Tsuna was able to create a gauntlet that allowed him to manipulate Dusts for offensive and defensive purposes. By combining that with his headphones and contacts – both which were theorized by Tsuna and manufactured by his friend – Tsuna was able to further enhance his weapon.

Inactive, "Leo Breaker" gives the appearance of an ordinary white glove with red metallic wrists and fingers. On the back of the glove is his family crest encompassed by a blue energy Dust gem that is enclosed by a red metallic frame.

One activated, the metal wrists expands and enlarges before ejecting plates that continued on until Tsuna's elbow. From there, the plates connects and encircles around Tsuna's forearm while two narrow boosters extended from within the wrist. The boosters continue before it covers the forearm and forms arm thrusters. A collection of Dust vials then ejecting itself from within the thrusters, encircling the forearm. In the meantime, the Dust plate on the glove begins to spin before ejecting plates that begins to over the entirety of the palm and backhand. The Dust plate slows to a stop, revealing that it now changed to a modified Vongola Crest with an "X" symbol covering it.

The weapon functions by Tsuna using the default Burn Dust, which is located in the family crest, as offensive attacks. Using Burn Dust, Tsuna is able to perform fire attacks and is even able to fly at high speed.

By speaking a sentence code, Tsuna is able to change his weapon's function. The Dust vials on the forearms suddenly spin before it stops just below the thrusters, a thin screen alongside the thruster flashing a particular color to indicate the Dust element being used. Once a Dust is chosen, Tsuna is then able to use the Dust as different offensive or defensive techniques.


(Semblance)

Sky

Tsuna's Semblance, dubbed as Sky, is an instinctual Semblance. It allows Tsuna to have a sort of "sixth sense", as many would call it. Reborn has commented many times that Sky can be described as "the power that could see through all". By giving extraordinary perception, Tsuna is able to see muscle tension, breathing, minimal movement and even accurate predictability, especially during battle. Yang described it as if Tsuna is "seeing the future".

While it is nothing but predictability, it has helped Tsuna many times before his acceptance to Beacon Academy. By reading the body – how the muscle moves, the breathing, perception, etc – as well as the person's face – such as eye movement, nose and mouth breathing, blood pressure – Tsuna is able to read their next movement, and thus, able to form a counterattack within milli-seconds.

Despite this useful Semblance, Tsuna has hinted several times that there is more to Sky than there is to its book cover.


(Trivia)

Symbol: a circle with a bold "x" over it with a clam within it

During their weekly spars at Signal, Yang noticed that Tsuna always fought with his brows furrowed and with his fists swung as if in prayer.

Unlike Yang, who wears her temper up her sleeves, Tsuna hides his temper, allowing it to simmer before beginning to boil it when he seems something absolutely unforgivable.

Because of the line long line of companionship between the Vongola Industries and the Schnee Dust Company, there has been a deal made to ensure closer ties. What it is, Tsuna has kept a secret from Yang for so long, eager to finish his end of the deal.


(If NITL was an Ultimate Ninja Storm video game)

Ultimate Technique: X BURNER

"Hah!" Tsuna roared, his right gauntlet bursting in Dust fire. The forearm booster refitting itself onto the back of his hand, it propelled itself, sending the target flying once on contact.

Once the target flew, Tsuna immediately crossed his arms, ordering, "Operation X!"

"Roger Boss," A robotic voice called out within Tsuna's headphones. "X-BURNER Shooting Guide System Activated."

Right after, Tsuna blasted out lightly orange color flames from behind him. Using his right gauntlet, its emblem glowed in a bright orange color. Within his specially made contacts, he was able to see how much Burn Dust he was using in order to steady himself. Immediately, Tsuna began to direct the Dust within his left gauntlet, using his Aura, and began collecting it into a single point.

"Right Sensor – Burn Dust – Now Stable Within 45,000 lbs. (approximately 200 kN) Of Force," The program within Tsuna's headphones spoke. "Now Directing Left Sensor – Burn Dust."

The gauge within his contacts began to count up. In the meantime, a target sensor within Tsuna's contacts locked onto the target. "Target Locked. Right Sensor – Burn Dust – Still Rising. 52,000 lbs. 54,000 lbs. 56,000 lbs."

Now pointing his outstretched left arm to the target, Tsuna continued to build up power into his left gauntlet.

"Left Sensor – Burn Dust – Rising To… 56,000 lbs. Line Matched." The program declared, the gauge now matching each other symmetrically, forming an "X". "Ready To Launch."

"X BURNER…"

And with a roar, a brilliant flash of orange flame-energy burst from Tsuna's gauntlets. The flames continued to roar as it burned towards the target. And in a flash, the flames engulfed the target, resulting in a large orange combustion. As the light from the explosion settled, Tsuna continued to float, using his gauntlets to keep himself up. His orange eyes flashing, the boy declared,

"Don't ever touch my friends."


A/N:

So, I just wanna say...

Pyrrha is DEAD! In the canon RWBY, I mean. She ain't coming back. Jen Brown (Pyrrha VA) said so herself, the redheaded Amazonian is NOT coming back. Hell, she KNEW that once she takes up the role of Pyrrha, that the girl was gonna die. So stop ASKING RoosterTeeth to bring her back!

Monty HIMSELF planned this!

Don't EVER trash other people's works.

You wanna alter it? Then do it with actions. Don't whine about it and take it out on something else (like starting a fucking petition to bring Pyrrha back, the fuck is that about!?)

To go with my words, what will happen in Volume 3 for this FanFic WILL be different. I will not be going in any specifics, but the point here is that just because you don't like how it works out doesn't mean that you should sulk and yell and scream at the makers to change that part of THEIR story. If you don't like it, draw something or write about it. You don't have to go to the main story line and ask it to change all of a sudden.

The milk is already spilled, don't ask it to go back in the cup and spill itself all over again.

Rant is done, so back onto the FanFic.

We now had a look at Tsuna's past and stuff, and everything he's done up to this point. What's gonna happen next!? We're gonna find out on the next chapter, so stay tuned!

Next Chapter is continuing off with the Initiation. Let's take a deeper look on how the guys and gals will handle all those Grimms, eh?

Next World of Remnant is gonna be our favorite pirate, Luffy! I haven't made his entire background yet, but I'm on the way there.

Keep on reading, folks!
