I am the protagonist

"...So be it."

"My succession ceremony is coming up soon, and I reckon some soul is going to cause some trouble behind the scenes again... Those guys really don't want me to have a peaceful rest."

The thought of that soul that had been hidden for so many years suddenly popping out to show off its skills gave Tsuna a headache.

He was tricked by that guy back then, and now he's planning to trick him again.

[That guy D really has the leisure and inclination; he started preparing for it years ago.]

Just how much does that guy hate Simon Cozart?

Tsuna knows why that guy is so extreme.

But knowing something doesn't mean you'll forgive him.

"But this time you've really messed with me. I'll make sure you never have to worry about the Vongola again."

[This will save us from having to constantly be on guard against such a despicable person in the future.]

"You already know who's behind this?"

"Who else could it be? Only a handful of people could do something like this."

“Perfect, I can’t keep an eye on someone all the time. He can walk up from behind and come to me on his own, which saves me the time of looking for him.”

"Moreover, it would be troublesome if he came out to cause trouble when things get even more complicated later."

Tsuna isn't worried about D running away and causing trouble; as long as that little devil dares to come out, he'll inevitably face death.

Tsuna was even more worried that the villain was lurking in the shadows, not taking any action.

If that villain is always lurking in the shadows, the threat will be even greater.

Especially since we'll be facing the Avengers soon, if D were to cause trouble at that time, it would probably be even more complicated.

"But being stabbed in the back by that guy is not my style."

"If he wants to play, then I'll play with him properly."

Tsunayoshi's ability to foresee the future gives him an absolute advantage in planning.

One can get ahead of D by taking the first step, while D cannot get ahead of him yet.

Once things really get to that point, D will have one foot in the grave.

Therefore, Tsunayoshi is worried that D will not take the initiative to come out.

This time, however, D must take action.

Because D knew that if he didn't take action, the Vongola would definitely be in big trouble, and if he didn't take this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat, then his existence would be meaningless.

Therefore, as long as Tsuna accepts the Vongola succession ceremony this time, D will have to start taking action. He simply cannot escape it as long as he persists in his beliefs.

"Is it okay?"

“There’s no problem. What I’m worried about now isn’t that he won’t take action, but that he’ll keep things under wraps and not take action.”

"However, he didn't have any choice this time."

"As long as he doesn't want the Vongola to become a cowardly Vongola, he will definitely seize this opportunity to get rid of the factors that make the Vongola weak."

What factors weaken the Vongola?

Byakuran didn't quite understand what Tsunayoshi meant.

[Tsuna has inherited the position of the Tenth Vongola Lord. Does this mean the Vongola is on the decline?]

Why doesn't he believe that such a thing exists?

"...Well, I know there will be a lot of trouble on your end."

"But if it were you, you wouldn't suffer even if you encountered that kind of problem."

Tsuna smiled slightly; of course, he wouldn't suffer a loss.

"how about you?"

"Well... you made things sound so serious before, I also need to think of ways to improve my abilities."

Now, Bai Lan's biggest headache is how to improve her strength.

Improving one's own strength is not something that can be done easily. If it were that easy, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated by Tsuna.

"That's it..."

"If you want to improve your strength without improving yourself, then improve the ring's abilities."

"...It's not easy to enhance the ring's abilities."

"Besides, this ring of mine is the Mare Ring, a world-renowned treasure. Do you think it can be further improved?"

"sure."

Tsuna knew that even the Mare Ring, one of the world's three great treasures, had room for improvement. After all, even the Vongola Rings had a later form, so how could the Mare Ring not?

"Whether the ring's power can be enhanced depends on finding the right person."

"Old Master Tarpo is a goldsmith who has worked for the first generation since the first generation, and he is also one of the few people in the world who can improve the three great treasures."

"It just so happens that I was also planning to go see that old man... Lately, I've also been finding it troublesome to keep taking the little lion out of the box, so I might as well just upgrade the Vongola Ring at the same time."

"..."

At this moment, Byakuran had the urge to punch Tsuna in the face.

He wanted to enhance the ring's power in order to enhance his own.

But listen to what Tsunayoshi is saying! His reason for upgrading the Vongola Rings is that it will be easier to summon his Box Animals.

Even Bai Lan had never heard of such a luxurious reason.

Chapter 145 Iemitsu, Tell Tsuna to Take Care of His Health

"Oh right, I also need to check if that guy over there has already left..."

"Okay, no problem. That guy went out to gather information today, so I can go over there sometime today."

“Reborn, bring me the [Sin]... and while you’re at it, contact the Avengers and have them go to the Simon family’s location. They know the exact spot.”

"Just tell them one sentence, and they will definitely come."

"The opportunity to kill that chess piece-faced guy has arrived."

"Well, as for the rest... that is, to get us to Old Master Talpo. That would be troublesome."

This action left Bai Lan somewhat dazzled.

"Tsunayoshi, you really know how to order people around."

"Power not used will expire."

“Sometimes, when you can use it, you shouldn’t be so polite. I don’t want to make myself run around all the time; that would be really inefficient.”

"Let's go too."

Both King IX and Reborn remained silent after hearing the entire conversation.

"……cough!"

"It seems that Tsunayoshi has changed quite a bit since he lost his memory."

To cover his embarrassment, Ninth Prince coughed.

God knows how much his heart couldn't take after hearing so much. If he hadn't been here today, he would never have known that Tsunayoshi was actually plotting so many things behind the scenes.

That kid even managed to get up to the same height as the Avengers.

Is this some kind of deal they're trying to make with the Avengers?

[And about the matter of "Sin"... how did that child know about it?]

Reborn actually knew these things, but he just didn't tell them all.

"That idiot Tsuna actually dared to order me around. I'll teach him a lesson when we meet later."

[…Reborn, that's not the point.]

Although the Ninth Prince still felt there were many, many things involved, he thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​getting involved.

Ultimately, the Vongola family will be inherited by Tsunayoshi.

Since the first Vongola has already acknowledged Tsunayoshi's identity as the tenth Vongola, Tsunayoshi will now be the one to lead the Vongola's future.

"Forget it, let the young people handle their own affairs."

"Even we older folks are finding it hard to keep up with the pace of young people."

Although he didn't know what Tsuna was planning to do, IX only intended to listen to Reborn's report afterward.

"Tell me after things are settled with Tsuna."

"Ah, I'm going now, Ninth."

"Ah."

The Ninth Prince, who was alone in the room, laughed.

"Reborn, you've really started to change too."

"If it were the old you, you wouldn't have deliberately hidden things from me."

However, he wasn't very angry because he was friends with Reborn.

"The current relationship between Reborn and Tsuna is the best."

Yes, this is the situation that the Ninth King most desired.

The previous nine incarnations hoped that Reborn could assist Tsunayoshi in managing the entire Vongola.

After all, even the most capable person can't manage the entire Vongola. Tsuna needs some manpower, and Reborn is the best choice.

[Of course, I didn't expect even the boss of Giglionero to get involved; this is truly beyond my imagination.]

However, there's nothing wrong with Tsuna having this kind of relationship with her.

Although the Giglionello family is not a very large family, its significance is different from that of other families.

[...I think Arya is twenty years old this year.]

[Yuni seems to be Arya's daughter from ten years in the future; she's only fourteen years old this year.]

Isn't it a bit too early for Tsunayoshi?

The issue of Tsunayoshi's offspring is no longer a concern for nine generations.

However, Ninth is now worried that Tsunayoshi's body might be depleted.

After all, experiencing things at a young age that are inappropriate for one's age can have a significant impact on one's health.

For Tsunayoshi's health, Ninth decided to tell Iemitsu the truth first.

"Iemitsu?"

[Boss, it's rare for you to contact me today.]

"...Well, I learned a little about Tsunayoshi's current situation today, and I also learned about some incredible things."

"Well, actually, there's nothing too serious about Tsuna, it's just that... it seems like Tsuna and Aria had some kind of relationship."

【…】

【ha!?】

A rather startling sound came from the other end of the phone.

"It seems that it's not just Aria; even her daughter, who was supposed to be born ten years later, was brought back by Tsuna."

“You know, perhaps for some reason, so…your wife was sent to another place by Reborn yesterday.”

[...No wonder Nana called me and talked for half the night yesterday; I thought something had happened.]

[I can't believe that brat would actually be with... wait!]

Boss, could it be because of that?

"Hmm, I think it's probably because of that."

“Arya came to the island nation urgently yesterday, I think it was also because of her daughter’s problem.”
