Chapter 11
Kyoya knew one thing after reading the book Uzumaki got him only because of Tsuna's urging that he was a Cloud. Not just any Cloud but Tsunayoshi's Cloud Guardian.
He was content with everything in his life until the two of them showed up suddenly two years ago catching his attention. Because of them he now knew that the Cloud's role was to blanket the Sun turning an overbearing heat cool once again. That a Cloud could suddenly twist and churn causing a mild rain shower to change into a Thunderous storm. They can provide a safe place for Lightning to hide darting amongst the background for safety along with providing the weary Rain a place to rest when its problems become to much to bear anymore. They can soak up the Mist when it over bears all around it constantly spreading without stop and can even spread out across the wide expanse of the Sky to make the endless stretch of blue a little less lonely from time to time. A Cloud can also shield the Moon when injured watching from afar when even at its weakest point it still keeps going running forward chasing after a dream to support the Sky one day like it always did in the past.
One should never underestimate the position of a Cloud Kyoya knew that much even if he never followed what a true Cloud Guardian should be like from the book's standards at least. "Go." That one simple word finally had the little omnivore looking at him in the same way he did the carnivore whenever he did something stupid to make Tsuna worry.
"B-but Kyoya your still injured from the explosion and there's at least forty of them." Tsuna slightly stammered out as the others around them took in the sight of the large group of masked people blocking their path further into Kokuyo Land. With sharp eyes he noticed both of the baby carnivores with their hands turning white as they stared down the strange group that the girl the little herbivore Fuuta warned them about hired to delay them.
"I'll stay to watch his back kora." Colonnello said jumping down from his spot on Takeshi's shoulder landing a few steps behind Kyoya. With a sharp nod Reborn got them moving a different route around them but not before he heard it.
"Be careful Kyoya-k-kun." That was all he needed to hear letting the tonfas drop from their positions hidden in his jacket. With a smirk that would make normal men turn running in fear he let the masked group run at him pulling out their weapons to try to get past them and reach his Sky.
"Kamikorosu." Kyoya told the masked group as he pushing all other thoughts aside focusing everything on the words always wanted his Sky to say to him and punishing those that dared disrupt the peace of Namimori. He wouldn't fall to these herbivores no matter how many stood against him even if injured after hearing his Sky worry about him finally.
While Kyoya took on all challengers holding the line buying time for Tsuna and the others to rescue Naruto and Lambo Colonnello was in the air holding onto Falco while sniping any unlucky enough to cross his sights. 'Whatever your here for you won't be walking away no matter who hired you.' Colonnello thought showing no mercy knowing from the files he collected who these men and woman were. "Root." It was said with so much hatred as he took another shot dropping two men while a third behind the fell probably from a heart attack.
Kyoya in the ground worked like a machine not holding back like he normally does with other people to drag the fight out as long as possible. Caving in the woman's mask he kicked her out-of-the-way grabbing the blade meant to stab him in the back before crashing a tonfa into the man's chest. "Weak." The word came through grit teeth after sending another two crashing to the ground only for three more to take their place. "You're lower than herbivores fighting me like this." He's mind associated these Root people with cockroaches seeing how easy there were to take out even if more kept coming.
"Finally someone who agrees with me about Root being annoying to deal with." A strange child like voice he couldn't place called out from the shadows freezing everyone where they stood when the sound of tiny footsteps could be heard slowly coming closer.
"It can't be, Obito?" Colonnello muttered in shock easily recognizing the voice even after so many years. "We saw you die in the explosion." He called out seeing the figure of the Moon Arcobaleno walking out of the nearby shadows revealing the glowing Pacifier proving it was him. "I buried you in Basilica di San Pietro nella città del Vaticano myself years ago." Colonnello took in the form of his wife's only student fighting down the memories that threatened to overwhelm him at the sight of the boy who once called him sensei.
"Will been a little busy traveling the world sight-seeing, got a job or two while in Moscow a few years back and now I'm coming to bail my baka of a student out of yet another mess." Obito admitted with a what can you do about it shrug of his shoulders while on the inside he was falling over laughing seeing Colonnello's shocked face.
'The wonders of knowing a guy that owns his own satellite.' Obito admitted to himself trying to keep a straight face letting the chains hidden up his sleeves fall towards the ground around him. He had a small barely hidden smirk wondering if blackmailing the both of them would be worth the pain coming later only looking up when a handful of Root agents charged him. 'So worth it.' In that instant the both of them watching saw the chains moving seconds after the Root agents passed them leaving a sight that reminded Colonnello why those that held Moon Flames were the more violent groups of people.
Kyoya from his spot smirked seeing the quick and efficient way the baby carnivore handled the masked bugs. The smirk turned bloodthirsty watching Obito work finally coming face to face with the carnivore's teacher. "Baka-fox sent me messages on everything he does so impress me Cloud brat." Sending three more Root agents crashing through a rundown stall nearby Kyoya locked eyes with Obito. "Show me the person my student sees as his rival." Hearing Obito saying that had a dangerous glint appearing in Kyoya's eyes.

"Ive...got...it!" The grey haired old man who introduced himself as Birds had an evil grin on his face looking like he just figured something out. "I want to watch you beat the Vongola boss to death. Do that and I'll let your friends go free."
Tsuna looked on shocked staring at the two screens playing behind Birds his intuition telling him everything would be fine. "Shut up and come quietly or don't, either way you're in for a world of pain." Turning around Hayato and Takeshi quickly looked away their faces completely red spotting a woman in her thirties walking up the path flanked by two men on each side. She was light-skinned around an average height with brown eyes and waist length blond hair framing both sides of her face and flowing down her back. The reason they were looking away while Bianchi looked on with jealousy burning in her eyes was despite the woman's age and the expensive looking three-piece suit she had on everyone could see her slender frame and large bust. What had Tsuna's attention however was the five-year old the woman held in her arms who had brown tufts of hair and black eyes that took in everything around them. 'Who brings I kid to a place this dangerous!' Tsuna raged inside his own mind wondering if being involved with the mafia drove everyone crazy.
"Who are you three?" Birds asked not bothering to hide his own nosebleed openly staring at the beautiful woman's body. The sharp look Reborn shot him was missed by everyone except for the blond-haired woman in question.
"Tsunade Senju temporary fifth boss of the Senju Famiglia and their backup." The now named Tsunade made a motion with her free hand and Birds was suddenly pinned down on all sides by men wearing military gear who appeared out of nowhere. "One of you better give me a report yesterday." Tsuna watched one of the men hurrying over toward her side whispering something in her ear before she nodded. "Brats." All of them minus Reborn jumped hearing her commanding voice. "Which one of you is the Vongola Decimo?"
"Who the hell do you think you are trying to boss the Juudaime around like that!" Hayato stalked closer about to give her a piece of his mind forgetting about the armed men around them when Tsunade raised one of her fingers flicking him in the forehead the second he got close enough. Everyone watched him get launched backwards before he crumbled to the ground out cold from the Sun infused hit.
"M-Me." Tsuna raised his hand slightly trying to stay calm when her eyes landed on him and feeling Reborn staring a hole into the back of his head wasn't helping any either. 'What did I do to deserve this being apart of the mafia. Did I burn a hospital down in a past life or something ten times worse?' Tsuna thought shaking slightly at the piercing gaze he was under from both Reborn and this woman.
"Your home and the civilians you're friends with are safe from surprise attacks and my men already have most of the escaped prisoners in custody." Tossing Tsuna a picture she continued before he could even open his mouth. "Naruto's older brother and uncle have gone ahead to subdue Mukuro Rokudo but with his ability to take over other people's bodies they might have some trouble with the brat."
Tsuna's head shot up in alarm hearing that only getting a brief look at Mukuro's picture when he took off with Takeshi hurrying after him deeper into the wooded area leaving Reborn and Bianchi to handle the problem at hand. 'That idiot still runs off without thinking things through.' Reborn thought his body tensed slightly knowing some members of the scattered remnants of the Senju Famiglia still had it out for him after the blood bath he started over his students death. "So when did the Senju Famiglia finally start building themselves back up again and how did they get you of all people to be their boss Tsunade?" Reborn asked being as polite as possible while on the inside wondering how the CEDEF missed a Famiglia coming back from the ashes or getting a new boss even. He felt a major headache coming on making a mental note to rip into someone for dropping the ball because this kind of work made them look weak.
"About three years thanks to Verde and the brat helping out with our Root problem." Tsunade answered Reborn looking like she wanted to be anywhere but here after the history the two of them shared. "That's why we came when they called in one of the favors we owe them. Besides I can't let the brat die before I win back some of the money I lost to him and getting to see you again is just a bonus." Her voice grew softer when she said the last part even if her eyes still held the fire behind them for what happened between them.
Reborn already knew from his time spent with her and the way Tsunade held herself her main Flame was a Sun type with a side Sky if she became the boss even if its only a temporary title. 'Then the bambino must be Konohamaru the next boss when he's old enough.' Reborn thought watching Tsunade handing the child in her arms over to a woman with short black hair. Hearing the sound of footsteps they both looked over slightly when a hooded man came out of the trees nearby.
"We can talk later because right now I've got another one of Mukuro's victims to deal with." Raising her gloved hand Tsunade caught the large metal ball not moving in inch when the ground cracked around her. "So the brat even has L'uomo più forte nel nord Italia under his control."
The man looked like he was struggling with himself as the hood fell away showing his glassed over eyes. "Kill me." He finally gasped out the fog behind his eyes fading for a brief second before he fell under Mukuro's control again.
Tsunade waved her men and Reborn off as she tightened the gloves on her hands as her Sun flames flared to life. "No, I'll stop you."

The Remington in his right hand was quickly brought up blocking the sword aimed for throat. "Who are you?" Mukuro who was currently controlling Naruto's body asked sweating slightly feeling the sedatives used to keep Vongola's Moon under control burning through to fast to keep up.
"Your predecessor." Was the only reply given as Mukuro's mismatched eyes stared into a pair of crimson with a strange pin wheel design. They jumped apart the figure throwing off his black cloak as bullets started flying Mukuro trying to bring the man in front of him down.
All his plans were coming undone when the Hyuga girl ran off after dealing a blow to this bodies back. It pissed him off getting double crossed like this leaving the body he needed to get close enough to Vongola damaged then the Senju Famiglia showing up capturing Ken and Chikusa. 'I'll survive this and find her.' Mukuro thought feeling Naruto fighting for control while at the same time every bullet he fired was shot down mid-air.
Trident blocked sword and sword blocked trident as they traded blows getting up close while the world around them bent to the two illusionist will. The black void twisting out of his control turning red as Mukuro's control over his puppets and the area around him slipped slightly. He'd never faced an opponent like this who could somehow predict his every move before it even happened. "How-"
"Am I doing this?" The man asked him finishing his sentence with the same even tone from the moment he showed up. Over in the side of the room Verde stood keeping his eye on the fight after patching up the Bovino child knowing from the way Naruto talked he cared about the few friends he made while here. Personally he didn't see the point but this was Naruto's life not his. "Hurry it up, I'm sure Obito's done by now and with the invisibility suits the Senju Famiglia better be finished."
That was the scene Tsuna and Takeshi ran in on catching Mukuro's attention who jumped back raising the Remington planning on at least scarring little Vongola and stealing the Hyuga girl's kill. "Kufufufu... I still win little Vongola." Mukuro told them while placing the barrel of the gun against the side of his head.
"Naruto!" Tsuna yelled out seeing what was about to happen when a knife came out of nowhere knocking the Remington out of his boyfriend's hand.
"I told you to hurry up Itachi." Verde called out glancing at the form of Naruto's older brother. The man was the figure of a ninja wearing everything from the boots to the white mask with the crow design hiding his face.
Watching him reach for the gun Tsuna saw the moment Naruto froze before falling to the floor clutching his head in pain. Ignoring everything else around him Tsuna ran to Naruto's side with Takeshi right behind him looking shaken from what he just saw. "Fuori, fuori, fuori, fuori, fuori." Naruto repeated tears rolling down his face as he clutched his head tighter feeling like it was about to explode any second.
"Ti amo, ti amo. Per favore torna da me Naruto-kun" Naruto tries to focus on Tsuna's voice calling out to him, the warmth from his Sky trying to clear away the mist behind his eyes. The sound of glass breaking could be heard when Naruto finally regains focus to see a teary eyed Tsuna smiling at him. The sound of blades clashing is heard somewhere nearby meaning they were still fighting the enemy but he was so tired trying to focus on Tsuna's face trying to stay awake so his little Boss wouldn't worry about him. Feeling his hand getting squeezed tightly Naruto looks down his eyes closing as the last image he sees is the ring around Tsuna's finger glowing a mixture of crimson and orange.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Naruto's eyes slowly opened hearing the sound of a heart monitor beating at a steady rate. "Your awake." Hearing the gruff voice of Tsuna's Cloud Naruto winced slightly but turned his head to see Kyoya leaning against the nearby wall.
"Kyoya-teme."
"Carnivore."
They both stared each other down from across the room until Kyoya just looked over to the side slightly. Following his gaze Naruto saw Tsuna with a cover pulled over him fast asleep on the nearby chair. "What happened." It wasn't a question and both of them knew when Naruto met his gaze once again.
"The little omnivore hasn't left your side after fighting the one who captured you without the baby helping him." Kyoya answered letting Naruto know in his own way that Tsuna was the one who fought off the Mist user. "He's also made a few choices that the baby carnivore doesn't agree with after learning men came for his mother while we were gone." Hearing a loud scream coming from down the hall had Naruto alert until he saw the smirk on Kyoya's face for jumping.
"It's just the baby carnivores fighting amongst themselves." The small smirk on his face pissed Naruto off but there was nothing he could do about it for the moment. Keeping his gaze on Tsuna Naruto noticed the ring he gave him glowing a light crimson for a split second before it faded away.
"You have three days to heal before our rematch or kamikorosu." Walking out the door to the room they were in Kyoya left it open because standing in the open door was a nervous looking Colonnello standing next to an annoyed Verde. With his eyes on the pair Naruto watched his heart rate spiking watching Colonnello pulling a ring that matched his mothers from the chain around his neck.
"You two need to talk."
Author's Notes -
Chapter done so hoped you like it. The people from the Senju Famiglia will be in the next chapter but other than that their role will be in the background until they get sent to the future. I'm going to have Hinata as one of those reoccurring problems for a little while.
Mostly everything happened canon wise except for the fight with Lancia and Takeshi vs Chikusa. Sorry if you wanted to read those. I'm sorry I know I promised a longer fight but no matter how many times I rewrote this chapter it just wouldn't work out for me. My fights scenes suck and I'm sorry about that but I'm trying to improve
Yep its Itachi as the big brother so Tsuna better beware the talk coming soon.
I haven't heard anything positive or negative about my first shot at an Omake. I'll still take that as a good sign and think up something special for Halloween.
