I am the protagonist

"..."

Yamamoto suddenly couldn't understand what language Tsuna was speaking.

"...The Vongola's Hyperintuition?"

Well, that's about right.

Tsuna released the knife in his hand and jumped back a distance.

"I have seen quite a few unknown death flames, and once I know their specific abilities, they will no longer pose a threat."

"Furthermore, your Death Flame was not generated by yourself; it was amplified by the ring. Simply put, it is not your own power."

Now that we know this, sealing your Death Flame becomes much easier.

After saying that, Tsuna appeared in front of Yamamoto.

Assassin's instincts allowed Yamamoto to barely block a punch with the hilt of his sword, but the impact of the punch still sent him sliding back several steps.

"Tsuna, you're amazing!"

At this moment, Yamamoto's gaze also became much sharper. He understood why Tsuna said he wanted to fight. Sure enough, Tsuna said that he had a chance of winning.

In that case, we'll have to work even harder!

It wouldn't be good if Tsuna from ten years ago could laugh at us.

"……Why?"

Yamamoto instinctively tried to ignite the Death Flame on the ring, but the Death Flame, which could usually be ignited, became unresponsive at this moment.

"I just said that sealing this kind of death flame is really simple."

【behind!】

He swung the knife backward, but the uncomfortable feeling almost made Yamamoto drop the knife from his hand.

"Oh!"

Also behind Yamamoto, a simple punch sent him flying more than ten meters away.

"So didn't I say that the ring only amplified the Death Flame in your body, allowing you to use it? It's not your own power."

"This death flame born from the power of the ring is completely meaningless to me. This power is different from the death flame I condense myself."

Chapter Twenty-One: The Zero-Point Breakthrough is the Shackle of the Dying Will Flame

"I had a vague feeling about it just now."

"The rings you wear are a product that amplifies your very weak death flames. Those death flames are not created by yourselves. Once there is an obstacle between the power in your bodies and the rings, the death flames cannot be created."

When Tsuna arrived in this world, he observed the mixed-color baby using the Dying Will Flame, and after seeing Yamamoto's fighting style, he understood that this era relied heavily on rings.

After paying only a little attention to the ring, Tsunayoshi understood why people in this era could use the Dying Will Flame at will, and that it was really easy to restrain that Dying Will Flame.

As long as one skillfully uses the Harmony technique to disrupt the power fluctuations within the opponent's body, no matter how proficient one is in using the Death Flame, they will be unable to use the Death Flame again for a short period of time, or even be unable to use it at all.

"...This works?!"

Even Larmilch never considered using this method to render people powerless.

The way of fighting in this era is not as simple as Sawada portrays it. No one thinks about how to neutralize the opponent's death flames, but rather how to fight the opponent.

"It fundamentally resolved the battle, and even easily secured victory."

“Unlike people of this era who are adept at using and dependent on rings, Tsuna is quite clever in this regard.”

[Truly worthy of being my student. Instead of trying to assimilate into or adapt to this era, they consider the distorted aspects of the world and start from those distorted and irrational points.]

However, this only applies to individual battles. If the number of people increases, Tsuna's argument will be overshadowed by the sheer number of opponents.

Reborn certainly knew that Tsuna was right, but there was a problem with the direction of this "rightness" because the answer was for an individual, not for the group.

"...Tsuna, you are indeed very strong."

Yamamoto could no longer sense the death flames within his body. Just as Tsuna had said, relying too much on the ring had rendered him unable to generate any death flames on his own.

"It's not that I'm too strong, but that this method is too targeted."

"Moreover, this method is not suitable for team battles; it is only suitable for individual battles. Once the battle becomes a team battle, this approach becomes rather useless."

"Suppressing the death flames of one or two people isn't very effective; at most, it just highlights my ease of handling things without relying on the ring."

"Are you feeling better now?"

At that moment, Yamamoto's ring reignited with the flames of death.

As Yamamoto felt the death flames flowing through his body again, he was even more surprised. He never expected that Tsuna from ten years ago could have achieved such a feat.

"Then let me show you that even though times are changing rapidly, there will still be insurmountable obstacles for you as long as you are still using the Death Flame."

A strong chill emanated from Tsunayoshi and spread outwards.

"This, this is!?"

"Breakthrough at zero point!"

The chill that kept spreading throughout the room had caused a thin layer of frost to form on the floor.

"No matter how times change, the Death Flame will not change, and this power will always be the shackle of the Death Flame."

"...Tsuna, times have changed."

Tsuna shook his head slightly as he listened.

"It's a pity that while you think times have changed, I can't see the changes in your times."

"You, who possess cutting-edge technology from ten years in the future, can't even defeat someone like me from ten years ago. And you dare to tell me that times have changed?"

"If you want to make me laugh to death, you should come up with a different joke."

"Otherwise, show me with your strength that times have changed."

At this moment, Yamamoto's face was filled with solemnity. He had realized that Tsuna from ten years ago was not simple at all.

Although Yamamoto didn't know what was going on, he understood at this moment that Tsuna from ten years ago was stronger than Tsuna from this era!

[I remember Tsuna saying that the weakness of Zero Breakthrough is that it can be broken by using high-purity flames.]

[...It seems I'm just gambling to see if my ring can reach the boundary of breaking through zero.]

Yamamoto ignited the Dying Will Flame on the ring once again, but this time it was a Dying Will Flame of extremely high purity.

Seeing this scene, Tsuna felt somewhat helpless. He had just said that breaking through to the Zero Point was the shackle of the Dying Will Flame, and he hadn't said that casually.

Just like before, the blue flames of death flowed from the ring into the blade, unleashing a powerful strike imbued with the flames of death.

"when!"

"This, this is!?"

The blade struck a layer of ice wall, and the blade, covered in rain flames, was completely blocked, leaving not even a trace on the ice wall.

It wasn't until ice spread across the blade along with the deathly flames that Yamamoto snapped back to reality and hurriedly retreated.

"You want me to take the same trick a second time? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

"Now that I understand the power of your strike and the purpose of the blue flames, I no longer need to take your attack head-on."

"This time I'll teach you a lesson: no matter how rapidly technology advances over the next ten years, the Zero Point Breakthrough will remain a constraint on the Death Flame."

"Besides, you don't think that just because technology evolves, I'll just stagnate, do you?"

Under the influence of the cold air, several ice spears condensed around Tsunayoshi.

"Yamamoto, I'll show you right now how wrong that idea is!"

【So fast! 】

Yamamoto quickly raised his sword to block the ice spear that was thrusting towards him.

This is so unreasonable!

[While using Zero Breakthrough, you can also use the Great Sky's Dying Will Flame for acceleration.]

[Unable to slice down the ice spear in one strike... Did they also utilize the Sky's unique properties?]

After taking just a few shots, ice crystals had already formed on Yamamoto's face, and the Death Flame within his body was becoming increasingly unable to function.

"Baseball idiot!"

A burst of red deathly flames deflected the ice spear's thrust, and Gokudera opened the box and stood beside Yamamoto.

"Are you okay?"

"...Ah, Tsuna has reduced the effects of Zero Breakthrough, so I can still use Dying Will Flame now."

"The Tenth Boss... I never imagined that the Tenth Boss from ten years ago would actually..."

Gokudera never imagined that the Tenth Generation from ten years ago could be so strong, beating the baseball idiot to the ground.

“I was surprised too… but Tsuna is proving his abilities, so we can’t let him underestimate us.”

"...Yes, I need to show the Tenth Boss how much I've improved as his right-hand man!"

"Go! Baseball idiot!"

Chapter Twenty-Two: Attributes Increase Explosively Once Again

"Do you think I wouldn't know that high-purity death flames can remove the Zero-Point Breakthrough state?"

"Thinking that this is a weakness, they created a high-purity death flame in an attempt to suppress my breakthrough to zero. What a stupid idea."

"However, thanks to your efforts, I have come to understand some of the fighting methods in this world."

Tsuna dusted himself off; the sparring session had only slightly exhausted him.

However, for Gokudera and Yamamoto ten years later, it was a terrible experience.

They all suffered frostbite to varying degrees, and the cold air had penetrated their skin, forming a layer of ice.

This time, Tsuna's battle against Gokudera and Yamamoto from ten years in the future ended in complete victory, which was also the result Tsuna had hoped for.

The moment Tsuna defeated Gokudera and Yamamoto at the same time, he heard the notification sound that his level had increased.

"I never expected it to end like this."

Larmielch initially knew that Yamamoto and Gokudera were definitely going to be in big trouble this time, as Sawada from ten years ago was not an ordinary troublemaker, but this result still surprised her greatly.

"Can the Zero Point Breakthrough be used like Sawada's method?"

The Zero Breakthrough that Sawada used just now was completely different from what she had imagined. Instead of getting close to the opponent and sealing their Death Flame with cold air, she used cold air to create all sorts of weapons and shields that even the Death Flame could not penetrate.

In addition to weapons and shields, it can even spread cold air throughout the entire room, causing the entire room to suffer from a slow, restraining effect on the birth of the death flame.

"He directly turned the Zero Point Breakthrough into a controllable, area-of-effect technique. Those cold energies were already the nemesis of the Death Flame, and now Sawada has turned them into a controllable, area-of-effect technique. It's truly... terrifying."

In this era, Milfiore's warriors all use rings and the Death Flame, and Sawada's Zero Point Breakthrough technique can be used on those warriors in a wide area.

Larmilch could practically see Sawada standing alone on that frozen battlefield.

"It is indeed a terrifying technique, a technique specifically designed to seal the Dying Will Flame... Even I didn't expect that Tsuna would have improved the Zero Breakthrough."

"Perhaps, as Tsuna said, no matter how times change, the Zero Point Breakthrough remains the permanent shackle of the Dying Flame."

Reborn could see from the battle just now that both Yamamoto and Gokudera relied too much on the ring, which is why Tsuna repeatedly found opportunities to exploit them.

[So this method of using zero-point breakthroughs was indeed developed after the last battle with Iemitsu?]

[This level of development is probably not even fully complete yet... For a technique that's not even fully developed to already be this good, what kind of technique is that idiot Tsuna planning to create?]

After witnessing Tsuna's growth, Reborn became increasingly interested in this trip ten years in the future, wondering how much Tsuna would have grown by the end of the trip.

Tsuna is growing up, and Reborn has high hopes for him.
