Tsunayoshi's Volleyball Is Also Number One

“I’m so rubbish, I can’t even play volleyball!”

Little Tsunayoshi, who had no friends because he was too useless, welcomed a new neighbor. The new neighbor had dazzling, sun-like oran...

Chapter 110 "Shall we go?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's recent behavior is visibly...

Sawada Tsunayoshi has been visibly busier lately, and Hyuga often sees his childhood friend on the phone during his breaks, speaking in a language he can't understand, with Chrome standing next to him, occasionally adding something.

Karasuno and his group were once again challenged by the successor. Not only could they not understand the content of the conversation, they couldn't even speak the language.

Yamaguchi thought about what Sawada Tsunayoshi had said during their earlier casual conversation, and realized that something seemed a little strange.

"Didn't Tsunayoshi say that he hasn't officially inherited the family yet? Why do those things have to be agreed to by Tsunayoshi?"

Hinata explained, "Tsuna's family is probably the traditional kind. For example, it requires direct bloodlines, and there is competition between different heirs. I also heard from Tsuna that although the previous boss is still in office, he has begun to slowly relinquish power. When Tsuna officially inherits the position, the former boss will retire honorably. So, what Tsuna needs to do in the next few years is to learn how to manage the family."

Yamaguchi had a general understanding, but new questions arose.

"There's actually competition? I thought Tsuna was the only heir. But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, there are definitely more than just Tsuna in the family. Tsuna must have a tough time too."

"But from what he usually says, you can't tell at all that there's competition in his family."

"It's definitely not easy. We didn't see each other much during junior high school because he was so busy. But Xiaogang has a really good relationship with his family. Every time he chats with his family in Italy, it lasts for a long time. However, I don't understand Italian, so I don't know exactly what they are saying."

After listening, Tanaka said, "Being able to chat for so long means that the relationship must be good. It's normal for someone like Sawada to have a good relationship with his family."

Sawada Tsunayoshi hung up the phone, walked over, and heard everyone talking about him, so he took the opportunity to ask them what they were talking about.

Hinata replied, "It means that Tsuna seems to have a good relationship with the Italian side, and he can talk to his family for a long time on the phone, which doesn't seem like there is any competition between them at home."

Tanaka chimed in, "Indeed, my sister and I sometimes argue. It's really not easy for such a large family to have such a good relationship."

The young leader wanted to shake these people up and ask if they remembered that after the final, just a few guardians had to fight in the tunnel, and wouldn't it be even more disastrous if the Italians were added to the mix?

Not to mention, was that even a chat?! It was clearly Varian unilaterally threatening him!

He had just said, "Sho, didn't you hear the conversation? Why are you saying that too?" Then he realized that it was because Reborn said that Tsuna needed to familiarize himself with Italian as soon as possible, and that he couldn't relax even after returning to Japan. So every time he called Varian, he would communicate in Italian.

"Whether our relationship is good or not is secondary," he said, not even hoping to get along well with Xanxus.

"I just hope everyone is safe and happy." Although Varian's androids probably don't need him to worry about their moods, they are always vindictive and their main concern is whether others are happy or not, as long as they are happy themselves.

Hinata, Yamaguchi, and Tanaka whispered to each other, "Look, Tsuna always has that smile when he chats with his family, that's why I said they have a good relationship."

Chrome glanced at the boss upon hearing this. She could understand what everyone was talking about. It was nothing more than how many times Fran had caused trouble and how many people he had offended that day. Bell chuckled and said that he hadn't done anything wrong. Squalo had only called to report to Sawada Tsunayoshi that Varian had no intention of betraying the Vongola.

Although the boss was completely unaware of this, he assumed that Squalo and the others really had something to discuss with him, and listened attentively every time. However, Fran made a mess of things, and he thought that Squalo had a hard time, having to deal with the irritable Xanxus and Bell and the others as well.

But Squalo's intentions weren't really about official business, otherwise he wouldn't have let Bell and Fran chatter on and on.

Xanxus usually doesn't speak, only commenting when Sawada Tsunayoshi mentions his recent situation, and of course, what he says always makes the Storm Guardian who is listening in furious.

Even though the atmosphere was tense, Hinata didn't notice at all, because Sawada Tsunayoshi was usually gentle.

Chrome thought that the boss would be startled by Varian, but the smile wouldn't easily disappear from his face. He would frown with concern and unconsciously complain.

Therefore, it's normal for Hinata Shoyo to feel that something was wrong. When the boss interacts with everyone, he does treat everyone as a comrade.

As for the harmonious relationships within the family, Chrome was actually quite curious to see how Varian and the others would react to this assessment. After all, to be fair, most of the Vongola family members were subdued by the boss.

"Hey you guys, assemble!"

The earth interrupted their conversation, signaling to the coach that he had something to announce.

Chrome jogged over with Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others. Thinking about their phone conversation last night, they figured it wouldn't be long before they all saw the boss's Italian family lineup.

"I called everyone over here to tell you that some members of our team have received an invitation to the national youth team's training camp," Coach Wu Yang said, scratching the back of his head as he picked up the list.

Even standing next to Hyuga, Sawada Tsunayoshi could sense that the guy was itching to make a move, eagerly anticipating the coach calling his name.

Seeing his childhood friend so calm, Hinata was still a little confused, "Tsuna, don't you want to join the national team?"

The Italian mafia boss laughed and replied, "My nationality has changed, so they're unlikely to give me a list of Italian citizens."

Hinata gave an awkward smile. "I almost forgot that Tsuna is Italian."

He had absolutely no hope of being selected, but Sawada Tsunayoshi was still quite hoping that his childhood friend could be selected. However, Hinata was not outstanding in junior high school, or rather, because he was not very stable, he never achieved a very good ranking.

Miyagi had Shiratorizawa leading the way, and Karasuno was considered a dark horse this year. He wasn't sure if Hyuga would be selected, since there were definitely many other middle blockers with more impressive previous results in other regions.

In Tsuna's heart, Hyuga will always be the strongest, teaching him how to play volleyball and leading him into a world he had never imagined.

As a result, he met many, many people. Sawada Tsunayoshi, who would confide his troubles to himself, couldn't help but think that someone like Hyuga Shoyo might be able to do anything.

But when the coach finished announcing the list of players to be included in the training camp, Hinata Shoyo was not on it. He saw his childhood friend clench his fists tightly, his head hanging down, his eyes probably filled with resentment.

After the group disbanded, Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't know how to comfort the other party. Chrome then waved to him, indicating that someone else was calling him.

Tsuna hesitated for a moment before glancing at his childhood friend, but the other's expression remained unreadable.

He walked toward Kurom, the days when the two of them would snuggle in bed watching other countries' leagues still vivid in his memory.

Sho said he would become the world's strongest attacker, and Tsuna never doubted that; he always firmly believed that his childhood friend could do it.

"...Boss, the Italians say that this matter must be handled by you personally; they dare not make a decision without your approval."

Sawada Tsunayoshi snapped out of his childhood memories and asked, "What does Ninth Grandpa mean?"

Chrome said, "The Ninth Lord said he could no longer make decisions on these matters and that the Boss should take full responsibility."

"I see." The junior leader knew he probably couldn't get away with this. Kusakabe had mentioned it just last night, and today the Italians came to him in person to ask for help.

He still couldn't let go of Hinata, so he rubbed his temples. "Then please arrange a flight first, Chrome. I'll go ask for leave from Teacher Komu."

"We're going to Tokyo soon, it wouldn't be good to ask for leave at this time," Tsuna said sullenly.

Klom comforted him, "It's better than having to go back to Italy for the next match, isn't it?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought about it and realized that made sense. Actually, he just wanted to complain a little. Italy couldn't do without him. The little boss felt wronged, but he didn't want to shirk his responsibilities.

He rubbed his face. "Then let's go back early and resolve this matter as soon as possible."

The headquarters also has a volleyball court. Although he was urgently sent back to Italy, things weren't particularly busy. It's just that the junior leader had to step in on certain situations.

Tsuna decided that he could practice at home in the evenings and then go find a teacher and coach.

When the young leader went to ask for leave, he didn't see his childhood friend. Thinking that it would be the same to tell Hinata when he got back, he went to find Teacher Takeda.

It turned out that the two people I was looking for were together.

Seeing that Hinata's expression was off, he thought for a moment and decided not to go out and interrupt the conversation, but Tsuna's hearing was very good and he inevitably overheard some of the content.

The little leader overheard what Teacher Takeda and Hinata said. He had never thought he would make any unimaginable decisions, even though everyone liked to say that about him.

But now, Sawada Tsunayoshi realizes that he does have some unrealistic ideas.

The Italian league matches they watched together a few years ago are still fresh in his mind, and the Italian side happens to know that he likes volleyball and has mentioned that he could go to the club to play.

Crazy and audacious ideas formed in my mind.

Before he could even look for Takeda-sensei, he grabbed Hinata first.

Tsuna's heart was pounding. Hyuga had just finished listening to his teacher's advice and had some thoughts of his own, but before he could make up his mind, his friend told him...

"Xiao Xiang, do you want to come to Italy with me?"

Hinata Shoyo asked in confusion, "Tsuna, are you going back to Italy?" Tsuna has indeed been very busy lately, but what does that have to do with him?

Why did you take me with you when you went back to Italy?

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head. His childhood friend didn't understand what he meant. Perhaps it was indeed hard to imagine, but he still said it.

"I mean, Xiao Xiang, do you want to spend a few days at an Italian club? The one we used to watch in the Italian league."

Hinata stared at him, mouth agape.

But Tsuna reached out his hand, just like the brave volleyball player who reached out to the bullied boy back then.

So, shall we go?
