I am the protagonist

This wasn't an ordinary breakthrough; under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't have missed it.

In such close proximity, the technique of blocking the flames of death is easily detected, especially by experts who are skilled in using the flames of death.

Why? Why didn't I notice this time?!

Tsuna, who landed smoothly, had a smile on his face.

"I dare not underestimate you, you monster uncle. What I should do is seize the opportunity to win as much as possible."

"As expected, all of you know about the Death Flame."

"As expected, you all possess the power of the Death Flame."

"However, it is thanks to your Death Flame that I was able to make use of it and also to restrict your movements, Uncle."

"Uncle, let me remind you, the ice on your hands is no ordinary stuff. If you move too much, your whole hands could be gone."

This layer of ice is indeed used to seal the zero-point breakthrough of the Death Flame, but it has a different application than a regular zero-point breakthrough.

Even Tsunayoshi hadn't expected to be able to put this idea into practice so easily, given his sudden inspiration. He had initially thought it might fail.

However, this success has given Tsuna a lot of hope. With his hands and the Dying Will Flame sealed, the old man in front of him is no longer as threatening as before, and his success is within reach.

This is troublesome; I've really overestimated myself this time.

At this moment, Iemitsu was no longer as at ease as before. He never expected that his son would use such a strange move to seal his hands and the Death Flame together.

Although he knew his son was growing up very fast, only by interacting with him personally could he truly feel how rapid the child's evolution was, and he came up with this idea in just a moment.

The approach was bold, but the thought process was meticulous.

My hands... I can't move them. If I move them randomly, they'll really be ruined.

[Even the Death Flame can no longer be used; the chill in my hands will be channeled into my body… I understand now, this is how the Zero Point Breakthrough is used!]

In a flash of inspiration, Iemitsu realized how his son had used Zero Point Breakthrough without him noticing, a thought that Iemitsu could never have imagined.

"Your Zero Breakthrough wasn't meant to absorb my flames. You wanted to use Harmony to test my senses, so I wouldn't know that your Zero Breakthrough had already merged into my body along with the flames."

As Iemitsu watched his son's face gradually darken, his guess was indeed correct.

"My hand wasn't sealed because you used Zero Breakthrough, but because I used the Death Flame, which forcibly triggered Zero Breakthrough, thus sealing my Death Flame from the inside."

"Uncle, you're really amazing. I never expected you to see right through my plan."

"But even if you see through it, it doesn't matter. The cold air is integrated into your Death Flame. Once you use the Death Flame, the inside will still start to freeze. You still can't use the Death Flame right now."

That's right, even if I see through this tactic, it won't change anything for me now.

[A bomb for breaking through to zero has been planted in my body, and the Deathly Flame is the fuse for this bomb. If I don't want it to explode, the only way is to stop using the Deathly Flame.]

[The fact that a last-minute idea could be perfectly utilized is truly beyond my expectations in terms of action.]

[This method can only be used by those who possess the Great Void, harmonizing the opponent's flames by infusing their cold energy into them.]

[Using the opponent's life to restrict the flames of death is even more terrifying than a normal breakthrough to the zero point, and... even more deadly.]

[This bold approach, achieved only through utilizing the characteristics of the Void, breaking through to the Zero Point, and the opponent's Dying Will Flame, truly lives up to my son's reputation; he can actually do something like this.]

"Hahaha!"

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

Iemitsu showed no anger whatsoever; any father would be happy to see his son grow up.

"Knowing there was a huge gap in strength, he still used my psychology to make a bold attempt and even accomplished something unprecedented. That's truly impressive!"

"But it seems like you're focusing too much on me."

"!?"

Tsuna's consciousness paused for a moment, and a suffocating sense of fear suddenly arose behind him. The oppressive force made Tsuna's breathing become irregular.

"CIAOS!"

【escape! 】

At this moment, only one word was in Tsunayoshi's mind!

"Oh!"

A bullet pierced the ground at Tsuna's feet, rendering him completely immobile as he was about to move.

"Thinking of running away first is a good judgment, but to actually try to escape in front of me, Tsuna, are you crazy?"

At that moment, for some reason, Tsuna felt a strong chill in his heart.

It wasn't a chilling murderous aura, but rather a sense of fear that kept spreading from the depths of one's heart.

Chapter 8 Tsuna, always ready to escape

[...He was caught.]

Tsuna is feeling rather melancholy right now. Being surrounded by a coordinated defense, and even having his hands handcuffed to seal his Dying Will Flame, makes it difficult for him to make any moves.

Of course, it's not impossible to break free. Even without using the Dying Will Flame, Tsunayoshi can still use the Harmony technique to completely corrupt the handcuffs. The key is that after doing so...

There were too many people surrounding him, each one more dangerous than the last. If there wasn't a good chance for him to escape, Tsuna wouldn't be willing to take such a risk.

[There won't be many more chances to escape now; the impact of this failure has been too great.]

This incident has made everyone aware of his ability to cause trouble, so even more people will be watching him in the future, making it even more difficult for him to escape.

Just thinking about Tsunayoshi gives me a headache.

Even when other people transmigrate, they don't end up in such a miserable state. At least they live the life of an ordinary urban overlord. But he ended up as a prisoner.

The three babies sitting next to him knew that Sawada's muscles were constantly tense, meaning that this guy was still looking for a chance to escape.

[Sawada is actually planning to run away?]

With handcuffs restricting his ability to unleash his deathly flames, how could he possibly escape?

Colonello's gums were starting to hurt from watching Sawada's actions. He was now certain that Sawada had amnesia, and not just any kind of amnesia.

[Tsuna has a way to remove the handcuffs that seal the Dying Will Flame.]

Unlike others who made assumptions, Reborn trusted his judgment of people more. He believed that his student must have thought of some way to get out of the handcuffs, but he just hadn't figured out how to escape yet, which was why he was holding back.

There are three Alcbareno here; escaping from them is not something that can be done with just a little ability.

On another car

"Phew... I feel much better now that the chill is gone."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Iemitsu looked at his hands. After the frozen state was lifted, the death flames in his body flowed as smoothly as usual.

"It was really bad to be in that situation. I never imagined my son would apply the Zero Point Breakthrough to this extent."

What just happened was truly terrible. The Death Flame was sealed, and it was a forced seal at that. It made Iemitsu feel like he had completely stumbled, especially since it was in the hands of his own son.

[The Zero-Point Breakthrough technique was used to absorb my flames just to prevent me from noticing anything unusual about the flames within my body. They also used the Zero-Point Breakthrough technique on the bomb inside my body. Getting hit by this would be terrible.]

The hands alone are enough to give Jia Guang a headache. If the internal organs and other parts are frozen by Zero Point, then a life will truly be taken away.

If his son hadn't been so eager to escape, and hadn't come up with that move on the spot, Iemitsu knew he would probably have been killed by his son.

"Boss, are you really alright?"

"Ah, the cold energy that caused the Zero Point Breakthrough in his body has been removed from Tsuna's body. Apart from some frostbite on his hands, there are no other problems."

"To be able to frostbite your hands, Boss... I really can't imagine that Lord Sawada could do something like that."

When Basil arrived at the location, he was shocked to see the Boss's frozen hands. He knew that the freezing was caused by Zero Breakthrough, but he found it hard to believe that the Boss could be hit by Sawada-sama's move.

Recalling the doctor's examination, the Boss's blood and bones in both hands were frozen, a condition far more serious than the Zero Breakthrough that Lord Sawada had used in the past.

"Boss, was that really Lord Sawada's breakthrough? Why did it feel a little different from when Lord Sawada fought Xanxus?"

"Of course it would feel different. If Xanxus had been frozen by Tsuna using that method, he would have died on the spot."

"!?"

"That's a dangerous move that uses Zero Breakthrough as a time bomb, planting it inside the opponent's body. The Death Flame is the spark that detonates Zero Breakthrough. Once the Zero Breakthrough buried in the body is detonated, the Death Flame inside the body will be instantly frozen."

"Then it's not just damage to the surface, but the most direct damage to the internal structure within the skin."

"This should be the most dangerous move I've ever faced."

This dangerous tactic is not without its weaknesses and limitations; in fact, it has quite a few.

To achieve this, one must at least learn Zero Breakthrough and Zero Breakthrough Modification; otherwise, even someone with the Great Void attribute would be unable to do it.

"Of course, this move also has many limitations and weaknesses. Not just anyone can achieve all the conditions. At least right now, only my son can do it."

However, that move was an alternative application of Zero Point Breakthrough that Tsuna came up with on the spur of the moment. If Tsuna were to research this move further, or even improve the conditions for its activation, it would likely become even more terrifying.

Once the usage restrictions are lifted, Iemitsu can be confident that his son is definitely the only boss in history, besides the first one, that the Vongola will always remember.

"As expected of Prince Sawada!"

Basil obviously didn't think that much about it, and simply thought that Prince Sawada was just that amazing.

However, the other members of the outside consultants in the car understood that the move was definitely not as simple as the Boss had made it out to be; it was probably even more dangerous than they had imagined.

"But Prince Sawada has lost his memory, how can we convince him?"

"Actually, it's even simpler than we imagined. That child has now fully awakened his super intuition. He can already tell which words are true and which are false."

"Then why did Prince Sawada run away from the hospital?"

"...If a child has lost their memory and wakes up in an unfamiliar place, their first thought will definitely not be to stay in the hospital, but to get out of the hospital."

"Furthermore, I believe that the child still retains some of his memories; otherwise, he wouldn't know about the Death Flame, let alone use Zero Point Breakthrough."

Iemitsu believed that his son had not lost all his memories, but his memories of people must have been completely gone, otherwise he wouldn't have called him "uncle" just now.

Even if Iemitsu knows that he hasn't spent much time with his son, it shouldn't be to the point of being an "uncle." If it were just a "hey" or "you," that would be normal, but "uncle" means he really has amnesia.

Chapter Nine: That Familiar Yet Unfamiliar Voice

Several cars quickly stopped in front of a building, and once they arrived, Tsunayoshi had no choice but to get out of the car, still handcuffed.

There are too many people, and most of them feel threatened. Have we entered someone's base?

At this moment, Tsuna realized that it would be extremely difficult to escape from here, especially with three babies watching him. There were too many people in this base, and it was almost unrealistic for him to escape with his abilities.

It's still a difference in strength. If I were a little stronger, I wouldn't have put myself in such a passive position.

At that moment, Tsunayoshi understood a principle: in this world, strength is the key.

Without strength, you can't move an inch; but if you have strength, all your actions become perfectly reasonable.

So, how can I escape unscathed from this hellish difficulty level?

No matter how I think about it, I don't think I can leave here unscathed.

"Idiot, unlock your handcuffs yourself."

“Reborn, Sawada is wearing something specifically designed to target…”

"Crack!"

"...What are you referring to?"

"Forehead……"

Colonello stared speechlessly at the handcuffs that had fallen to the ground. Those handcuffs were meant to completely seal off the Death Flame, yet they had been broken so easily.

Reborn, who was standing nearby, picked up the broken handcuffs from the ground. It turned out that the handcuffs, which were made of special materials, had been completely petrified.

"Let the handcuffs petrify, thus completely nullifying their ability to restrict the Dying Will Flame..."

"This is impossible!"

"Normally, this is impossible. They used the power of the Death Flame without igniting it."

Reborn was also very interested in this. His student had completely changed after suffering a serious injury and losing his memory. It was as if another person hidden under the past personality had awakened.

"Tsuna, how did you do that?"

"Are there any idiots in this world who would tell others about their abilities? Of course, if you asked me to run for five seconds, I wouldn't mind telling you."

"Five seconds? Sawada, you sound very confident in your abilities."

"That's enough to deal with you, Blue Baby. Your sniping just now was very threatening, and you weren't even using your full strength, but after just one look, I'm confident I can dodge your sniping."

"Of the three babies, only the yellow one is the most dangerous. As for you... you are not a threat."
