I am the protagonist

Yamamoto could understand himself in this era, and he could even sense that he was still somewhat angry when he talked about Tsuna.

Even though I knew it wasn't Tsuna's fault, I still placed some of the blame on him.

[Tsuna from this era should also know this.]

Yamamoto also understands that Tsuna in this era has many unavoidable circumstances, otherwise Tsuna in this era would not have chosen to ask his past self for help in this way.

[If I don't shirk some responsibility, I'll break down in this era.]

[Tsuna probably knew this too, which is why he silently bore this resentment.]

If my dad knew, he would definitely say that this was immature of me.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yamamoto cast aside all those unnecessary thoughts; now he only had one problem to consider.

So, let's begin now.

Yamamoto gripped the bamboo sword tightly, and the moment the Dying Will Flame was ignited, the bamboo sword transformed into a sharp, real blade.

A world without such regret and remorse has truly appeared in my memory.

[To stop resenting Tsuna, and to prevent my father from dying in the future, I need power! I need the power to change all of this!]

Everyone in the Vongola base vaguely sensed a difference in the air. The Guardians, who hadn't been focused on training before, were brought together after Tsuna woke up.

Even though everyone knew that Tsuna hadn't actually done anything and had simply woken up from a deep sleep, it had a completely different effect than before, and everyone's hearts seemed to be connected at that moment.

In the ward

"...I see. So Yamamoto and Gokudera are already in the zone?"

Larmielci wasn't too surprised to hear the news.

“Sawada really has the talent to be a leader. Even though things were in that state before, everything changed completely because he woke up.”

In the past, Lalmilch had always doubted whether making Sawada the Vongola Boss was the right move, but now it seems that only Sawada can bring everyone together.

At this moment, Larmielchi admired Reborn's foresight even more.

“Reborn, it seems you have a better eye for people than we do.”

Chapter 55 Growth in Half a Month

"Boss, I'm going in!"

"bring it on."

Everything that Tsuna could see began to show subtle differences.

Well done.

[My reminder from two weeks ago was quite useful, but Chrome's talent is truly remarkable to be able to develop and utilize these completely different illusions.]

I can feel that all five senses of my body are under control.

[Although it's easier to get hit even without resisting, I possess the attribute of the Sky Realm, making it so easy for me to be hit—something Chrome couldn't do before.]

Tsunayoshi dodged to the side.

"Kurom, show no mercy when facing your enemies. Showing mercy to your enemies is being cruel to yourself."

"The enemy won't see this as your sympathy; they might even snap your neck the next second."

His fist gently tapped the empty space behind him.

"Also, don't stand behind the enemy casually."

"Anyone behind you will strengthen their defenses, and some people have even specifically trained in this area."

"Even if you really have to attack the enemy from behind, don't use your full strength. Only a third of your strength is enough. Attacking from behind is more about distracting the enemy to take care of everything around them than about inflicting serious damage on them."

"The other thing is that you need to restrain your killing intent at all times and not be impulsive like Gokudera. Even when you fight, you should not release your killing intent casually."

The distorted illusion gradually disappeared, and Chrome, whose figure had vanished, reappeared.

"Boss, have I disappointed you?"

Disappointed? Am I?

Tsuna placed one hand on Chrome's head.

"Chrome, you did a great job. You incorporated illusion into your body language, using your senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste. You even controlled my sense of touch during the fight, didn't you? You still managed to retain control over my sense of touch."

Chrome lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

"You can be so lenient with me, but remember not to be lenient with others."

"The only aspect of showing mercy is whether to kill or not. Don't think about anything else at other times. Just focus on completely neutralizing the enemy."

"Yes, Boss!"

Chrome naturally knew that he shouldn't show mercy to the others.

These past few days, Boss has been accompanying her to practice illusion magic. If Boss hadn't been there to help her, Chrome doesn't think her illusion magic could have improved to this level.

Besides training in illusion magic, Chrome also understood that the Boss wanted her to learn how to face enemies, and Chrome, knowing this, naturally wouldn't let the Boss down.

"Alright, your training has reached its limit. If you want to continue to improve, you need to become more proficient in using illusion magic. That's about enough time."

"Boss, are you referring to the attack on Milfiore?"

“Yes, Blancso won’t attack us first, but that doesn’t stop us from taking action against Milfiore. He’s probably just waiting to see what happens.”

Tsuna knows that day is not far off, and as long as all the Vongola Guardians are ready, the operation will begin immediately.

[I've made full preparations, and Chrome's strength has reached a certain level. The key now lies with Gokudera, Sasagawa, and Yamamoto.]

As for why Hibari wasn't included, it's because he's still a person from this era, so there's no need to worry about his strength.

[I haven't kept track of Gokudera, Sasagawa, and Yamamoto's progress since the special training started, and I don't know how they are doing now.]

Since war is imminent, let's take care of the remaining matters.

"Reborn, call everyone who has finished training to the meeting room. I have something to say to them."

Tsuna trusted Reborn to deliver the message.

"Kurom, come with me to the kitchen and get a bottle of wine."

"Yes, Boss."

Everyone who had been tinkering in their own training rooms gathered in the conference room.

Half a month has passed, and everyone is completely different from what they were half a month ago.

The worry on Yamamoto's face disappeared, and a naive smile returned.

Gokudera's previous popularity has turned into a period of quietude.

Only Sasagawa remained the same as he had been half a month ago... full of passion.

"Reborn, what's up with Sawada this time?"

After half a month of adjustment, Larmić's body has gradually begun to stabilize.

"How would I know about Tsuna's affairs? Let him tell you himself."

Reborn glanced at Yamamoto and Gokudera at that moment.

The two of them grew the most in the past two weeks.

[Gokudera has stopped yelling and shouting like he did half a month ago, and he's no longer just spouting off.]

Gokudera's change is inseparable from Tsuna's words; now Gokudera has tempered his temper.

[Yamamoto, who was gloomy just two weeks ago, now exudes a completely different kind of confidence, and his entire demeanor has become unusually sharp. A lot has happened to him.]

A successful boss needs to guide his subordinates onto the right path, and Reborn has now seen Tsuna's potential as a boss.

[I never imagined that idiot Tsuna would grow to this level.]

"Hmm~ What is Tsuna planning to say this time? Is it time to start taking action?"

"Baseball idiot, don't try to guess what the Tenth is thinking. Also, now is not the time to take action."

Gokudera doesn't think now is a good time to take action.

“Milfiore has been sending more and more people out to patrol and search for the base lately. It’s only a matter of time before the base is found, but there’s no need to start any operations until it is found.”

The best time to act was undoubtedly the moment Milfiore launched a fierce attack on their Vongola underground base.

“The number of Milfiores is far greater than ours. If we recklessly clash with Milfiores, our defeat is not far off.”

"So now we need time, time for the Vongola spies to find the location of our base."

Gokudera no longer believes that the Vongola's underground base has not been found because it is so well hidden, but simply because someone is covering for the Vongola from Milfiore's side.

When the time for concealment has reached its limit, their location will naturally be discovered by Milfiore's people, but that will also be the best time for them to take action.

"You've grown up, Gokudera."

Chapter Fifty-Six: A Lifetime Hidden in the Ring

"The Tenth Generation!"

Gokudera was very excited, and even though he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't help but get emotional.

"Gokudera, I can see your growth."

"It is indeed a completely different feeling from half a month ago; even that spirit has begun to calm down."

Tsuna saw all of Gokudera's changes. It would be impossible for someone to completely change their personality in just half a month without a firm resolve.

"Your expectations may be met sooner than you imagine."

"!?"

Gokudera was really about to lose control of his excitement, but even so, he managed to control it.

This is the Tenth Generation's test!

My biggest weakness is that I'm prone to losing control of my emotions. I need to face everything calmly, and I shouldn't get agitated in situations like this.

"well done."

Tsuna smiled slightly and sat down next to Gokudera.

"Gokudera, Yamamoto, Sasagawa, you've all been working hard to train yourselves for the past fifteen days, but as the Boss, I haven't been able to help you in any way. So today, I thought I should lend you a hand, however little I can."

"Sawada, what are you planning to do?"

Larmielch was somewhat unable to understand the meaning behind what had just been said.

"It's actually simpler than I imagined."

Tsuna pointed to the ring he was wearing on his hand.

"The Vongola Rings are not as simple as you think. I think only the first Vongola boss in history obtained that power. The second Vongola boss just picked up a ready-made one."

"This power has actually been sealed since the first life. The second life is just a result of the ring's original power being protected by the first life, which is why he has his current reputation."

Only Vongola I was able to unleash the full power of the ring. No subsequent bosses have been able to obtain the true ring or unleash its full power.

Therefore, until now, only one incarnation knows the true power hidden within the Vongola Rings.

"Tsuna, are you implying that the Vongola Rings are hiding an even greater power?"

Reborn suddenly felt that this possibility was very strong.

Why is it that only one of the bosses in all the generations is considered the strongest?

Could it be that the reason he was hailed as the strongest boss in history was because he possessed the true power of the Vongola?

But why did the first Vongola ring seal away its true power?

"Yes, I used my own power to seal the true form of the Vongola Rings, sealing this power forever."

"I never want to use this power for personal gain at the expense of others, so as long as it is a Mafia legacy, the true power of the Vongola Rings cannot be seen."

"Am I right, Isaac?"

"..."

The Vongola Ring remained silent for a moment before a ball of deathly flames flew out from it.

The ball of deathly flame slowly transformed into a human form.
