Chapter 351: The player still hasn't appeared...
It seems that many new forces have emerged recently, not only in Italy, but even the other world in Japan seems to have undergone significant changes.
Among them, the most eye-catching is...
Reborn looked at the articles published in the stack of newspapers in front of him, his dark eyes flickering regularly in the sunlight from the window. Then he stood up, carefully put away the things on the table, then ruthlessly tore open all the curtains and used the Len hammer to hit the bed hard.
The young man who was sleeping peacefully in bed was extremely sensitive to danger. He jumped out of the bed the moment Len's hammer fell and narrowly avoided the attack of the black-haired boy.
"What, what happened?!"
Before the boy could begin to question him, Reborn spoke first, "You were the one who asked to get up early today, Tsuna."
"I just used a method that could produce immediate results."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."
"Even so..." The brown-haired boy's anger visibly subsided. He scratched his head, making his already messy hair even more tangled. "Even if I was the one who started it, you don't have to use such violent methods... It really hurts..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Reborn snorted. "Nana's mom is already waiting for you downstairs. If you don't get up, she'll come upstairs in no time and see you in such a mess."
"What?" Sawada Tsunayoshi yelled in shock, "You can't let Mom see me like this!"
Having said that, he immediately started packing up, trying hard to stack together the luggage he had prepared last night.
"That's right. Enjoy your trip, Tsuna." Reborn looked at the brown-haired boy frantically packing up, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "Don't forget what you promised me."
"...Ah, I won't forget." Sawada Tsunayoshi shuddered subconsciously, but under the temptation of traveling, he swallowed and nodded, "But, Reborn, what is it that you asked me to agree to? At least tell me now so that I can be mentally prepared in advance."
"It's not too late to find out after you enjoy your trip." Reborn raised the brim of his hat and said mysteriously, "But you will definitely be surprised--"
He didn't feel anything at all...
Looking at the tutor's actions, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt even more uneasy for some reason.
**
As it turned out, although Sawada Tsunayoshi's premonitions were always ignored by him, they were indeed extremely accurate.
After arriving in Yokohama, Reborn kept his promise and did not show up to disturb them. Rambo and Ippei did not suddenly appear like before, and even Gokudera and Yamamoto did not show up.
Although he was a little uncomfortable, he and his mother had a very happy day, until the next day...
"You're planning to go back now because you're worried about the flowers and plants at home being left unattended?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was surprised. "This is so sudden! Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to stay in Yokohama for two more days?"
"I'm so sorry, Tsuna." Hearing her son's doubts, Sawada Nana clasped her hands together and said apologetically, "Because when I watched the news last night, I found out that there would be some heavy rain in Namimori, and I was really worried."
A localized downpour that's only affecting Bingsheng? It feels a bit strange...
Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked in confusion.
"I'm so sorry, Tsuna. You were obviously looking forward to this trip too." The woman with short brown hair looked embarrassed and apologized again, "But those are flowers that Dad gave to Mom. Mom still wants to take good care of them."
"...It's nothing, Mom." Sawada Tsunayoshi, who didn't feel disappointed, looked at his mother and smiled slightly. "I originally came here to travel with you. If that's what you want, then let's go home now."
"But, Tsuna," Sawada Nana said hesitantly, "Because it's the peak tourist season recently, Mom only bought one ticket back home today."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…Ah?”
What should he do then?
"Don't worry, Tsuna!" Sawada Nana said, "I bought you a ticket back tomorrow, and I've hired a very famous and popular tour guide for you here - Mr. Baoli. Just enjoy your day of sightseeing and go back to Namimori tomorrow."
"As for school, Mom will definitely remember to ask for leave for you." Having said this, Sawada Nana said that the popular tour guide she had arranged, Mr. Baoli, would be arriving here soon, so she asked him to wait here for a while, and then hurried off to catch the bus.
"Wait a minute, Mommy...Mommy!"
Tsunayoshi Sawada, who tried to stop her, looked at Nana Sawada's back without hesitation and put his hand down in frustration, "You still haven't told me what that popular tour guide you mentioned looks like..."
"And this Mr. Baoli... he sounds strangely familiar."
"Of course, it's because I'm a very good and popular tour guide. You must have heard of my name—"
The sudden voice rang in Sawada Tsunayoshi's ears, causing him to subconsciously take two steps back and almost fall to the ground - if someone hadn't supported him.
"Hello, tourist, I am the popular tour guide hired by your mother - Mr. Baoli!" The black-haired boy wearing a baseball cap and distinctive clothes waved a small square flag in his hand, and whistled casually after seeing the gaze of Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"Mr. Baoli... Aren't you Reborn?" Tsunayoshi Sawada saw through the tutor's disguise at a glance and chose to focus his eyes on the hand that was holding him.
"Are you okay? Tenth generation!" The young man who was supporting him said this.
"Gokudera-san? What on earth is going on?"
"Mr. Reborn asked us to come here, saying it was the Tenth Hokage's request." Gokudera Hayato looked at the still confused brown-haired boy and explained, "Not only me, but Baseball Idiot and Lawn Head are here too, as well as Chrom and Stupid Cow, but they're somewhere else now."
"Yamamoto-san? Big brother? Chrom? Rambo?" Question marks popped up one after another in Sawada Tsunayoshi's head. "Reborn, what's going on? Why did you call everyone here?"
"Of course, it's to fulfill what you promised me, Tsuna." Reborn, who changed his outfit in a second, raised the brim of his black hat. "Yokohama is an interesting place. Besides its charming scenery, it also has a lot of local characteristics."
"If you come here, how can you not experience the local characteristics here?" Reborn said as he led the two people towards their destination. "As the future leader of the Vongola family, this is very necessary."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "I already said I don't want to be the leader of Vongola... And that city characteristic, it doesn't sound like a good thing..."
From the perspective of the Tenth Generation, the city characteristics that Mr. Reborn mentioned don't seem to be good things...
Standing aside, Hayato Gokudera, who heard the tenth generation mumbling, was about to say something but stopped himself.
As usual, Reborn ignored Sawada Tsunayoshi's complaints. He took the two of them and quickly shuttled through the alleys, then came to a hidden villa and successfully met the people waiting there.
After the teenagers finished greeting each other, the black-haired boy put down the coffee cup in his hand and began to talk about the business tonight.
"Due to the conditions agreed upon between Tsuna, who scored zero on the test, and me, if I can allow him to enjoy a pleasant day of travel, he must agree to one thing." Reborn's lips curled slightly, "So, this is something you absolutely cannot refuse."
"So this is why Reborn asked us to secretly protect Tsuna so that he can travel happily!" Yamamoto Takeshi clenched his fist and hammered it into his palm, suddenly realizing.
"What? Is there such a thing?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked.
"The details aren't important; the result is what matters." Reborn raised his chin. "Just tell me whether you enjoyed it or not. Humph, if you want to regret it..."
The black-haired boy cast a cold gaze in his eyes, and Len, who was sitting well on the black top hat, turned into a green pistol.
“……!!!”
"I understand. I will keep my promise!" Sawada Tsunayoshi complained softly for a few words, but still made a promise under Reborn's intimidating gaze. Then, he saw the tutor nod with satisfaction.
Reborn: "Very good, then... we can proceed to the next step."
"It's been a long time since the last battle. Lately, I've noticed that you've all been a bit slacking off."
"Considering your age, your current combat abilities are not to be underestimated, but you are still lacking in other areas."
…
…
"In order to continue to strengthen your strength, I have decided to rely on Yokohama's local characteristics to help you take further steps."
"That's it." Reborn took a sip of coffee with a calm expression and said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"Um, Reborn...what do you mean by Yokohama's so-called local characteristics?" Sawada Tsunayoshi stretched out his hand tremblingly to ask the question, his face full of confusion.
Reborn: "...Gokudera, you come and talk to him."
"Okay, Mr. Reborn." At this time, Hayato Gokudera had already put on glasses and tied the extra hair on the back of his head into a small braid, looking quite intellectual.
But when he turned to face Sawada Tsunayoshi, the sense of alienation was immediately broken by himself.
"Tenth generation! Let me tell you the answer!"
Hayato Gokudera said loudly, "The situation in Yokohama is quite complicated. Due to the early war, it was a mixed bag and difficult to manage. There were also spies from various factions mixed in here. It was a place that ordinary people would not want to come to."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Is it so dangerous? Then let's get out of here!"
"Just get to the point, Gokudera." Reborn ignored Sawada Tsunayoshi's words and urged.
"Ahem... I've talked too much." Hayato Gokudera admitted his mistake and said directly, "If you want to talk about Yokohama's local characteristics, it is undoubtedly the Mafia - and the largest Mafia in Yokohama right now is the Port Mafia."
"...Huh! A place featuring the Mafia!" Sawada Tsunayoshi patted his chest in shock. "That sounds scary."
"That's right, but it's a thing of the past."
Reborn raised an eyebrow and added, "From the information we've gathered, the Port Mafia has recently emerged as a powerful force. Under the constant attack of various factions, they launched the 'Dragon Head War'. With absolute force, they suppressed all the mafias, big and small, both inside and outside Yokohama, and established their position of near-undisputed authority in Yokohama and Kanto."
"Therefore, the only force that can still be considered a mafia here is the Port Mafia. Moreover, although it is very secretive... their power has been steadily consolidating, developing, and growing, and they have great potential."
"And... they also have fantasy ingredients." Reborn said.
Combined with the information about the companies he searched, if he guessed correctly, this place should be where Aurora had stayed... But how come he didn't notice it before?
Or...
Did this place suddenly appear due to the interference of time and space after the Bai Lan incident?
"Fantasy ingredients... aren't those exclusive to the Fantasy Family?" Yamamoto Takeshi suddenly asked. "I still remember the story between Aurora-sensei and them very clearly."
"To be precise, Fantasy Ingredients are not exclusive to the Fantasy Family," Reborn corrected, "but exclusive to Aurora."
"This means... could it be that?" Yamamoto Takeshi blinked his eyes, keenly aware of some inside stories, and looked at Reborn involuntarily.
Naturally, he got no response.
"In short, in order to find out why the Port Mafia has grown so rapidly and steadily, I recently consulted the Ninth Hokage and will propose to them, on behalf of the Vongola Family, a request for the redivision of the Vongola Family's Japanese branch's territory."
Reborn said something surprising without saying anything, "As for who to negotiate with the Port Mafia..."
"It's up to you, Tsuna."
"What? Let's go negotiate with the Port Mafia?!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi widened his eyes in disbelief and uttered an incredulous sound, "How is this possible!"
"Leave such trivial matters as negotiations to me, Tenth Generation!" Gokudera Hayato said confidently, "I will definitely find out the intentions of the Port Mafia and let them understand the greatness of the Vongola family! If they don't obey... hehe..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "I haven't agreed yet...Ah! Gokudera-san, don't take out the bomb!"
"Hahaha, that sounds like fun," Yamamoto Takeshi said with a smile, rolling up his sleeves. "It's like I'm about to play a baseball game. I can't help but feel excited."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Yamamoto-kun...don't get so worked up about everything. This isn't a baseball game..."
"Wherever the boss goes, I'll go..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "...Chrom, there's actually no need to go..."
"Oh—" Sasakawa Ryohei yelled, "I absolutely must make this negotiation a success!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Brother...don't be so extreme about everything!"
…
…
Looking at his companions who were still full of enthusiasm and ready to go to the negotiations aggressively, Sawada Tsunayoshi made a sound of collapse.
"Really? Listen to me carefully—"
