Conquer the world, young man!

"Could this be Byakuran's conspiracy?" Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned, speculating, "He deliberately sent Tatara from ten years ago, and then wanted to..."

"Idiot Tsuna." Reborn kicked Sawada in the face, glanced at everyone, and then fixed his gaze on Totsuka. "No matter what, the most important thing now is to figure out how to defeat Byakuran. As for the rest, we'll find out later."

Totsuka sighed softly. He didn't want those who cared about him to know his current state. If Tsuna knew he was now a spirit, he would probably be speechless with surprise. Perhaps Gokudera would simply treat it as a supernatural event.

"Why did Yuni say we should come to the forest?" Aside from Totsuka's question, Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at everyone who had arrived at the forest clearing, rubbed his cheek which was still a little sore from Reborn's kick, and pondered.

Totsuka stroked his chin, saying somewhat uncertainly, "Perhaps the forest is a better battleground? After all, it's very open. I saw what the town looks like; it's quite chaotic..."

"It would be great if Yamamoto and Hibari-senpai could have come here and joined everyone sooner," Sawada Tsunayoshi said. After all, everyone needed to rest at this time, and it would be much better if they were here.

Totsuka turned his head and agreed, "Indeed, according to the information you received, Hibari has already dealt with a true Six-Wreath Flower. With his abilities here, he is a great help. If Takeru were here, he would definitely boost everyone's morale."

While Totsuka and Tsuna were chatting, Irie Shoichi, sitting on the other side, was already arguing with the Giglionero family, specifically Yuni's group of Wild Apes and Great Apes. Previously, as the leader of the Millefiore White Spell, Irie Shoichi actually disagreed with Byakuran's ideals and had acted as a spy. The Black Spell, on the other hand, consisted of members of the Giglionero family, and the two sides were already in a state of mutual hostility. Now, at this juncture, everyone was supposed to cooperate to deal with Byakuran, but it seemed they couldn't put aside their differences.

"You, do you want to resort to violence?" Irie Shoichi, who was injured in the Choice battle, was resting on the ground. After arguing with Wild Monkey and the others, he took a step back when he saw the expressions of the two men.

Wild Monkey had a smile on his face, seemingly also eager to fight Irie Shoichi.

“Wild ape…” Yuni, the girl who walked over with a cup, frowned. “You need to get along well with everyone.”

"We get along really well." Wild Ape's smile widened as he held up the child in his arms. "Right? We're very close!"

The child being held and dangled by the ape was Ippei. When Totsuka saw this scene, he walked over with some displeasure and reached out to hug Ippei. "Can't you see that Ippei just wanted to play with you? It's really childish to treat a child like this."

Unexpectedly, someone appeared beside him like a ghost and took the 'toy' from his hand. Wild Ape immediately became angry, "Who are you? When did the Vongola get such a strange character?"

Indeed, given his current attire, Totsuka could be considered a strange person. He didn't pay attention to the tone of the ape, but instead put Ippei down and gently patted the child's head, "Ippei, go play with Lambo, but be careful not to get caught."

"Thank you!" Ippei said solemnly in Chinese, and then ran to the side in a flash.

"Hey, you..." Wild Ape was about to get angry at this strange person when he turned his head and saw the face under the mask, which made him widen his eyes in surprise. "You are... Randy!"

"I didn't expect you to know me too?" Totsuka moved the mask a little to the side and asked with some doubt.

"How could I not recognize you!" The wild ape nudged the great ape beside him. "You're so famous, any normal person would know you!"

"Hmm." Taiyuan, sitting next to the wild ape, nodded and said under the boy's questioning gaze, "I have followed entertainment news, even though they are well-known singers."

"So, do you know about the Seven Kings?" Totsuka asked the question that concerned him the most. Since he existed ten years later, there was no reason why the people he knew wouldn't be there. If they were, wouldn't it be too difficult for Byakuran to control the world?

The wild ape and the great ape exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously. "Who are the seven great rulers?"

Totsuka's lips twitched; he felt as if the world's malice was about to overwhelm him. Why was this happening? He clearly left traces of his existence, yet the ruler was gone? Would the world ten years from now also lack Gillespie and Enkidu...?

“Actually, I also find this very strange.” Reborn walked up to Totsuka and looked up. “This world seems a little different from ten years ago. If it were the world ten years ago, Byakuran wouldn’t have been able to achieve what he has today.”

Reborn reached up and touched his temple, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes. "I've always felt that I have some connection with you, Tatara. If you were here, perhaps you could answer my questions."

“I don’t understand it myself.” Totsuka stared at Reborn. Even in this situation, the people around him seemed to still trust him, and he could feel their goodwill. “However, since we’ve come here, we can’t go back without dealing with Byakuran, can we?”

“That’s true.” Reborn nodded, glancing at everyone. “At this point, it’s the only option.”

When Yuni saw the boy, she felt as if a layer of fog had shrouded her vision, and the future she had previously foreseen became uncertain. However, she felt that things seemed to be developing in a positive direction, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Totsuka listened as Yuni explained Byakuran's abilities. Byakuran possessed the ability to share knowledge across parallel worlds, meaning he could possess all the knowledge and consciousness of his counterpart in each parallel world at the same moment. When someone possesses knowledge from countless worlds, they can be considered a being akin to a 'god.' Upon hearing this ability, Totsuka couldn't help but marvel; this was practically a bug in the world's logic! He wondered how well Byakuran's brain functioned, and whether he could handle so much consciousness without any problems.

Fortunately, Yuni said that Byakuran's ability has been weakening recently, and Yuni herself is in the same boat. The Sky Warriors of Alcobaleno are all people who died young, but Totsuka, seeing someone as young as Yuni, feels that it would be too unfair if she were to die young.

“That’s why Byakuran wants to get me as soon as possible.” Yuni sat on the ground and said slowly, “He wants to trigger 7 cubed as soon as possible, which is why Byakuran is so anxious.”

"7 cubed?" This was the first time Totsuka had heard this term, and it seemed to be something very important.

Yuni took out the pacifiers she possessed, which were now a dull gray, devoid of any light. "Seven cubed is the cornerstone of creation. What I possess are the pacifiers of the seven Arcobaleno, including myself. The seven Vongola rings and the seven Mare rings possessed by Millefiore Byakuran... if I collect these..."

"Will the world be destroyed according to his wishes?" Totsuka facepalmed, speechless at this premise. He really wanted to collect the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron.

Yuni nodded, agreeing with Totsuka's words. "The cube of 7 is a device created to nurture life and correct the balance of life on Earth, guiding it to evolve in the right direction (Note 1). If Byakuran obtains it, it will be very dangerous. In a sense, Byakuran, myself, and Mr. Sawada are somewhat similar."

When Sawada Tsunayoshi heard Yuni say that he resembled Byakuran, he was already holding his head in disbelief.

"Tsuna, I think Yuni wasn't talking about your thoughts, but rather your abilities," Totsuka chuckled. "After all, you are three Sky Realm masters, and what you possess are the cornerstones of world creation."

"Is that so?" Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his hand, his expression calming down slightly. In short, he didn't want to appear too useless in front of Totsuka.

“I also have something I’ve decided to tell you all.” Yuni sat upright, a smile playing on her lips. “I’m not going to run away anymore. I’ve had a premonition for a long time. Tell me, this place will become the battlefield for the final battle with Byakuran.”

From the very beginning, Yuni was being chased by Byakuran and was on the run. Now, she seemed to have made up her mind: "And tomorrow, with the arrival of dawn, the final battle will begin. Everything, all of this will come to an end."

"The final battle?" Gokudera, who had been leaning against the mountain and quietly listening to the conversation, couldn't help but ask.

Yuni pursed her lips and said softly, "Bai Lan is already very anxious. He will bet everything on this battle."

As the Oozora Yuni of Alcobaleno, she could foresee more than just these things, but she couldn't say them now. Moreover, there was another variable now.

“Although Byakuran can share thoughts and ideas with his counterpart in a parallel universe,” Yuni said, her tone becoming somewhat lighter as she looked at everyone’s solemn expressions, “on the contrary, his counterpart in this world is connected to his counterparts in other parallel universes. In other words, there is only one entity. That is to say, as long as one Byakuran in a parallel universe is defeated, the Byakurans in the other parallel universes will disappear.”

"If we defeat Byakuran in this world, everything will return to normal?" Totsuka understood Yuni's meaning; there's always a way to defeat a boss, it just depends on the abilities involved. If defeating one Byakuran leads to the emergence of Byakurans from other parallel worlds, it's not just a bug issue, it's a disaster.

"The greatest crisis is also the greatest opportunity," Reborn concluded.

With this opportunity, everyone's expressions relaxed. Sawada Tsunayoshi clenched his fist; if he won this battle, everyone could return to the peaceful life of ten years ago…

"But there's not much time left!" Sawada Tsunayoshi groaned, clutching his head, as he thought about the battle starting at dawn. "What am I going to do? I haven't even come up with a battle plan!"

"It's alright, it's alright, there's always a way." Totsuka reached out and patted Tsuna's head. "Everyone's here. As long as we come up with a battle plan and then fight back, everything will be resolved."

The boy's hand seemed to possess magic, rescuing Sawada Tsunayoshi from his state of turmoil and collapse. Not only did his anxiety disappear, but he could even hear his heart pounding strongly, each beat louder than the last. Despite having fought countless battles, he still lacked the boy's maturity, and even on the eve of the final battle, he was being comforted like this. Sawada Tsunayoshi secretly glanced at the boy, his face gradually reddening. He didn't know if it was shame or…

[Hey, this system is here to remind you, host, that the main quest in the Katekyo Hitman Reborn! world—Conquering the Vongola Family Boss—has reached 95/100% completion. Keep it up, young man!]

Totsuka put his hand down and listened to the system's notification. The only remaining key point of the main quest was still with Tsuna. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly.

Then, Totsuka watched as Sawada Tsunayoshi had Irie Shoichi assist him in devising a battle plan, dividing the combatants into several groups and those who couldn't, and compiling a list of usable Box Weapons. Gamma of the Giglionero family, the man who protected Yuni, proposed the idea of ​​creating a combination of Box Weapons.

Totsuka then saw Gokudera unleash his Box Weapon, and out of the small box emerged a tiny cat with red storm-attribute flames—it was incredibly cute. Gokudera called it "Gua." Then Basil released his dolphin as well… One by one, the people with Box Weapons unleashed their weapons. Watching this scene, Totsuka's thoughts began to wander again. It really felt like watching Pokémon.

Tsuna, unfamiliar with Box Weapons, simply watched the spectacle. Tsuna's Box Weapon was a small lion engulfed in orange flames, named Natsu, who looked incredibly cute. Looking at these little creatures, he felt his worldview being challenged once again; this world was simply too wondrous.

However, combining the Box Weapons was not an easy task. Gokudera rushed forward and attacked the cowardly Natsu, creating complete chaos.

Seeing the little lion timidly scurrying to the side, Tokusu reached out and picked up the mischievous kitten. Fortunately, after stroking the kitten's fur, the little guy quickly retracted his claws and rolled over onto his belly.

“Gourd…” Gokudera Hayato’s eyes lit up at this moment. “As expected of Totsuka-sama, even someone as disobedient as gourd can be tamed.”

"By the way, Gokudera, aren't you the owner of the melon?" Totsuka glanced at Gokudera Hayato, tilting his head. "Why can't you stop the melon?"

Gokudera looked utterly devastated and chuckled dryly, “Haha, it was mischievous from the very beginning.”

As if understanding what Gokudera was saying, the melon in Totsuka's arms flicked its tail and pounced on Gokudera, leaving scratches on his face.

“He is indeed a bit mischievous.” Totsuka nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Tsuna’s little lion. “Natsu, is that right?” He reached out his hand to the little lion hiding behind Tsuna, a smile playing on his lips. “Let me see you.”

Despite being a lion, it was incredibly timid and fearful of people outside of battle, much like Tsuna. And when this little lion saw the person greeting it, it took its first step, walking towards the boy.

When Sawada Tsunayoshi saw Natsu jump into the boy's arms and act all playful, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Standing next to Tsuna, Reborn slightly curled his lips and whispered, "Even in this aspect, he's exactly the same as Tsuna."

When Gokudera Hayato saw this, he let out a very indignant cry and rushed straight into the boy's arms, seemingly trying to drive Natsu off. The two Box Weapons' antics brought smiles to everyone's faces.

When dawn broke, everyone took up their designated spots to wait. Totsuka was not assigned to the outside, but stayed with Yuni and the others, waiting for the enemy to appear at any moment.

The vast forest wouldn't allow the True Six Funeral Wreaths to find anyone immediately, and the flames rising from the battleground would be visible to those left behind. The True Six Funeral Wreaths' strength is undeniable; they are at least stronger than the current Vongola members. Totsuka doesn't know what kind of monsters they can transform into, but he's certain they won't lose. After all, those who can modify their bodies into non-living things are incredibly difficult to deal with.

"There were a lot of loud explosions just now, their battle must have been very intense." Totsuka watched as the red light that had risen in the distance faded away, wondering how they were doing.

"This is bad..." Irie Shoichi became tense despite the silence of the explosions. "If the explosions had continued, it meant the battle was ongoing, and Gokudera and the others were still alive. But now, it seems one side is unable to fight..."

"I think the one who can't fight must be the other side." Totsuka smiled, glancing at his left hand. He had secretly healed them before sending them to battle. Although the consequence was that he was now somewhat weak, with his mask properly on, no one would notice anything amiss.

Reborn, sitting on Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulder, didn't relax his brow. He turned his head to look at the boy, his eyes showing a hint of worry.

"Another explosion." Totsuka looked in that direction. "Could it be another True Six Funeral Wreaths? Or is it someone else?"

Shortly after, Sawada Tsunayoshi received a message from Gokudera in his earpiece: "I heard you. Is everyone safe?" The sound in the earpiece was very noisy, but at this moment, even the indistinct voices made Sawada very happy.

Totsuka looked at Tsuna, watching his expression change from surprise to astonishment, and he said, "Varia? Varia really came?"

Totsuka smiled. So, Varia and her gang really came to help the Vongola after all?

"XANXUS actually came to our aid..." Sawada Tsunayoshi still couldn't believe it after ending the call, after all, that was XANXUS.

"That's really good." Totsuka muttered softly, "Whenever the main characters' group is in trouble, there will always be strong teammates coming to their aid. That's an unchanging truth."

In short, everyone was clearly relieved after receiving this message.

Then came an explosion from another direction in the forest, clearly indicating that another Six-Wreath Flower had gone there. There should only be four true Six-Wreath Flowers left. Besides the visual kei artist and the cute girl we saw last time, there are only two I haven't seen before. I really wonder which one will come next.

"Huh? Mukuro's real body has appeared on the battlefield?" After a while, Sawada Tsunayoshi finally received another message from Sasagawa Ryohei. Listening to the words coming through his earpiece, along with the loud explosion, he quickly asked, "What was that sound just now?"

Everyone who remained focused their attention on Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was on a communication call. After Sawada Tsunayoshi ended the call, he relayed the message he had just received to everyone.

Totsuka then learned that Rokudo Mukuro was still imprisoned in the Avengers Prison ten years later, until his apprentice rescued him. As for Sasagawa Ryohei, Rokudo Mukuro and Hibari had both gone there and were currently battling visual kei entertainers.

"Heh, Rokudo Mukuro, just like I said before, successfully escaped from prison." Reborn also had a smile on his face.

“He’s incredibly strong,” Sawada Tsunayoshi replied naturally after hearing Reborn’s words.

“But Avengers Prison is indeed not a simple place.” Totsuka stroked his chin and clicked his tongue. “After all, it’s not easy to keep Mukuro locked up for so long and still need the help of others to escape. But when did Mukuro get an apprentice? If he is his apprentice, he must be a very powerful illusionist.”

"Well, everyone's safe and sound." Sawada Tsunayoshi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yamamoto and the others are also on their way here." Yuni said what she had foreseen, with a pleasant smile, "All the Vongola Guardians are gradually gathering around you, the BOSS."

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction. According to the information we have now, as long as we take them down one by one, the true Six Wreaths won't be a problem.

But at that very moment, something that shouldn't exist, or rather, something unimaginable, appeared...

"GHOST? The true Six Funeral Wreaths that can absorb flames?" Sawada Tsunayoshi, covering his earphones with his hand and trying his best to hear the voice coming through them, was stunned by the new information. "The rings and box weapons are useless against him." His companions were all in danger, while he had to stay here. Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the people behind him and couldn't take a step.

Chapter 126-122 Nourishing the Soul

When Totsuka noticed Tsuna's expression, he knew what Tsuna was thinking. Tsuna completely considered Yuni and himself, who remained there, as people he needed to protect. Therefore, he was unable to make a decision in the face of this sudden situation. It could be said that it was precisely because Sawada Tsunayoshi was the Vongola boss that Totsuka trusted this mafia organization so much; there really wasn't a more benevolent mafia member than Tsuna.

"Mr. Sawada, you should go quickly. Uncle Reborn is here to protect me." Yuni stepped forward and said to Tsuna, her smile clear and captivating.

When Totsuka heard Yuni's words, he secretly praised her, thinking, "As expected of the Sky of Alcobaleno, he's so considerate of others. In this respect, he's especially similar to Tsuna."

“Yuni…” Sawada Tsunayoshi was worried that his companions might be in danger because of GHOST, and he couldn’t feel at ease leaving immediately. But with Reborn here, there shouldn’t be any problems, right? Thinking this, he nodded and thanked Yuni.

“We don’t know what that Ghost is. It might be dangerous for you to rush out so recklessly, Tsuna.” Totsuka looked at the people who stayed behind. Almost none of them had any fighting ability. This made him step forward and block Tsuna’s way. “Let me go. Tsuna, you stay here and protect Yuni.”

When Shishu said this, it wasn't because he was overly arrogant; rather, it was because the system had already given him a hint.

[The target has appeared. GHOST is a food specially selected for you by this system to replenish your soul energy. Don't miss this opportunity; it's a feast!]

Could it be that System, you initially threw him into this world just to help him replenish his soul? Although I don't know what GHOST is, since it can restore his abilities, Totsuka has no reason not to face it.
