Chapter 90
Rokudo Mukuro lay on the ground, desperately wanting to give up.
He's not Rokudo Mukuro from ten years in the future, so why should he take a beating for his future self?
But he also knew that Hibari Kyoya was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled.
Given the current situation, he can't simply stop whenever he wants.
As expected, Hibari Kyoya walked towards him with a malicious smile on his face, holding the Floating ...
"Get up and continue."
Rokudo Mukuro's lips twitched. Could he defeat Hibari Kyoya with his current strength?
Giving it his all is no problem. But if it's just a matter of physical combat... well, he doesn't want to get hit. Hibari's punches are pretty painful.
He sat up from the ground, plotting how to use illusion magic to escape with Byakuran and Yuni.
He can't beat him in physical combat right now, but in terms of illusion magic, even if Hibari had another fifty years, he wouldn't be able to surpass him.
Having dealt with Rokudo Mukuro for so many years, Hibari Kyoya knew from the way Rokudo Mukuro's eyes darted around that he was definitely up to no good.
Hibari Kyoya gave a cold laugh and pulled out a box from his pocket that looked familiar to Rokudo Mukuro. "The Vongola Rings were given to herbivores, but they're barely enough to deal with you now."
The Grade A ring on his index finger burst into a dazzling purple flame, and the box was immediately opened.
Rokudo Mukuro's lips twitched. What grudge could he possibly hold? He'd only let him suffer a small loss ten years ago, was it really necessary for him to hold a grudge for ten years? And now he was actually using the Vongola Box against him?!
A giant hedgehog appeared in mid-air, surrounded by purple flames.
Seeing the complicated expression on Rokudo Mukuro's face, Hibari Kyoya explained in a good mood, "Don't worry, I'll definitely beat you up myself. The little roll is just to seal off the surrounding space to prevent you from escaping with genjutsu."
Rokudo Mukuro finally understood what it meant for fortune to turn around.
He used to bully the little sparrow in his own world, but now, Hibari Kyoya from this world is chasing after him and beating him up!
Is this the legendary retribution?
Since there's no escape, let's fight...
Rokudo Mukuro's trident reignited with indigo flames. He stood up and looked at Hibari Kyoya meaningfully. "Little sparrow, I hope you won't regret this."
Once he gets back, he'll definitely cause trouble for Hibari Kyoya every day!
If he can't beat the big one, can't he at least bully the small one?
Hibari Kyoya frowned, a strange feeling rising in his heart. But with the target he longed to kill standing before him, he quickly put that feeling aside.
"Bite to death!"
Hibari Kyoya's fighting spirit burned ever brighter, and the purple flames enveloping the Floating ...
However, the ten-year gap in physical fitness still caused him to gradually fall into a disadvantage.
Hibari Kyoya said with some doubt, "Rokudo Mukuro, something's not right with you."
His gaze swept over Rokudo Mukuro from head to toe, and he flicked the floating cane in his hand.
Rokudo Mukuro rolled his eyes. "You're only just realizing this now?"
He stood up from the rubble on the ground, where the marble had shattered into pieces. He was unharmed because he had dodged in time, but his clothes were soiled.
"It seems you used all your strength while holding back." A hint of doubt flashed in Hibari Kyoya's eyes.
He had exhausted his physical skills, but he still had some illusion techniques left.
"Kufufu~ Stop it, if you keep fighting, Sawada Tsunayoshi will be here soon." Rokudo Mukuro never expected that he would one day use Sawada Tsunayoshi to threaten Hibari Kyoya into stopping.
"Heh." Hibari Kyoya chuckled lightly. "When he gets here, I'll beat him up too."
Rokudo Mukuro silently mourned for Sawada Tsunayoshi for a second. Even if a rabbit turned into a lion, it would still be a herbivore in Hibari Kyoya's eyes.
"Now, the most important thing is for me to see what you're hiding."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hibari Kyoya appeared in front of Rokudo Mukuro in a flash.
Rokudo Mukuro's mind processed the situation, but his body couldn't keep up. The floating cane, enveloped in purple flames, struck Rokudo Mukuro squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying backward.
Rokudo Mukuro, lying on his back on the ground, narrowed his eyes dangerously. This little sparrow has gone a bit too far.
It's important to know that he only bound the lark in his own world once; he didn't really hurt it.
"Mukuro-kun~ Do you need any help?" Byakuran called out to Rokudo Mukuro, "Although I like Hibari-chan too~ I like you even more~"
"..." Hibari Kyoya frowned and glanced at Byakuran and Yuni. He had come to Italy after learning some information, so he had some guesses about the identities of the two.
He subtly blocked Byakuran's gaze from Rokudo Mukuro, then smiled cruelly, raising the Floating Bean Cane in his hand and asking, "Speak, what are you hiding? If you don't tell, it will fall on your face."
Rokudo Mukuro's lips twitched, and his gaze toward Hibari Kyoya was indescribable.
Suddenly, he paused in his attempt to get up, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heterochromatic eyes, which had been shifting, returned to normal... It seemed as if someone had arrived.
Rokudo Mukuro continued to lie on the ground, his eyes becoming innocent. After a flash of indigo mist, the genjutsu on Rokudo Mukuro was completely removed, and even Byakuran and Yuni returned to their original forms.
Hibari Kyoya looked at Rokudo Mukuro, who had clearly shrunk in size, on the ground, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. But when he noticed the man's disgusted gaze, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"Hibari-senpai! What are you doing?!"
Hearing the slightly panicked and shocked tone in his voice, Hibari Kyoya knew he had been tricked...
Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was originally handling official business at the Vongola Castle, felt a jolt of fear when he learned that the Cloud Guardian and the Mist Guardian had gotten into a fight in the street.
Ignoring everyone else's attempts to stop him, he lit a flame and flew over. When he finally arrived at the scene, he nearly fainted...
What did he see?!
Ten years ago, Mukuro was knocked to the ground by the Great Demon King Hibari-senpai, and he still looked weak. Meanwhile, the Great Demon King Hibari-senpai was holding his Floating Float Cane and pointing it at Mukuro's face!
This is the Mukuro from ten years ago, not the Mukuro of today.
How could Hibari-senpai be so heartless?!
How could he do that?!
Looking at the frail-looking Rokudo Mukuro, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a surge of responsibility. He gave Rokudo Mukuro a determined look, then cast a reproachful glance at Hibari Kyoya, "Hibari-senpai! How could you do such a thing?!"
Hibari Kyoya: ...What exactly did he do? How dare this herbivore look at him like he's scum?
All he did was beat up Rokudo Mukuro. Had Sawada Tsunayoshi forgotten that he often beat him up too?
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Mukuro is still a minor!"
Hibari Kyoya: ...Can he say that Rokudo Mukuro shrank in an instant?
Rokudo Mukuro, with an innocent and delicate expression, subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. Sawada Tsunayoshi's words were disgusting.
"Mukuro, don't be afraid, I'll help you up!" Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly walked to Rokudo Mukuro's side, gently preparing to help him up.
After Sawada Tsunayoshi gently helped Rokudo Mukuro up, he heard Hibari Kyoya's cold yet surprised voice from behind him, "Wow~ Herbivore, do you want to fight me for him? I'll grant your wish."
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked up blankly and saw Rokudo Mukuro give him an innocent smile before disappearing from the spot.
Mukuro... Mukuro, he threw him to Hibari-senpai as a punching bag and ran away...
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned around blankly, trying to put on a boss-like smile, but it looked worse than crying. "Hibari-senpai, this is a misunderstanding!"
"Heh." Feeling thoroughly fooled, Hibari Kyoya didn't care about anything else. He smiled sinisterly and mercilessly gave him a slap with his clenched elbow, which finally vented his anger.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi hurriedly turned around to look for Rokudo Mukuro's figure, and only then did he realize that there were two other unfamiliar figures on the scene.
I'll explain when we get back!
After saying that, he led Hibari Kyoya toward Rokudo Mukuro without leaving any room for argument.
"Hai, come here."
Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow, but noticed the worry in Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes.
He curled his lip, thinking to himself: Sawada Tsunayoshi, this evil Mafia, will never change his motherly personality in this lifetime. He doesn't look like a Mafia BOSS at all.
Despite thinking this with disdain in his heart, his legs seemed to have a mind of their own, slowly walking towards Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little anxious, so he reached out and pulled him up. He only breathed a sigh of relief when Rokudo Mukuro and Hibari Kyoya were standing behind him.
This is the body from ten years ago; he must protect it.
After enjoying the spectacle, Byakuran greeted her with a smile, "Tsuna-chan~ Hello~ I'm Byakuran Soge, one of the bosses of the Millefiore Family. Nice to meet you~"
The wavy, erratic tone of his voice only made Sawada Tsunayoshi more wary.
Byakuran Soge, the boss of the Millefiore family who has clashed with the Vongola family many times. He had only heard of him but never met him. Now that he had met him, he knew that this man was definitely not simple and was an extremely dangerous person.
He glanced at Uni again, almost imperceptibly. He knew Uni, of course, and the two were on good terms. But he simply couldn't understand why Uni would agree to merge the family with Byakuransoge to form the Millefiore family.
He cast a worried look at Yuni, who, noticing his gaze, gave him a gentle smile, which reassured Sawada Tsunayoshi considerably.
Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could reply, Byakuran continued, "What's going on? Mukuro-kun, did Hibari-chan shrink you after hitting you?"
Rokudo Mukuro glared at Byakuran, then met Hibari Kyoya's gaze. The two simultaneously showed expressions of disgust and turned their heads away in unison.
Yuni smiled and gave the answer, "The answer is obvious, Mr. Rokudo is from ten years ago."
"Huh? So, the Mukuro who's always been by my side is actually the Mukuro from ten years ago~" Byakuran was genuinely surprised. Rokudo Mukuro's illusions were truly powerful, so powerful that he hadn't been able to see any flaws.
Byakuran's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Rokudo Mukuro. "Mukuro-kun~ Are you really not planning to switch sides? Come join our Millefiore family~"
Sawada Tsunayoshi shielded Rokudo Mukuro even more tightly. This man was not only dangerous, but also extremely cunning; he was actually plotting to poach someone from his team!
Rokudo Mukuro straightened his clothes and said with some disdain, "Kufufufu~ I would never associate with the evil Mafia."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled awkwardly. He knew that Mukuro's habit had remained unchanged for ten years and he couldn't change it.
Hibari Kyoya actually agrees with this statement: only herbivores travel in groups!
The remaining two smiled without saying a word.
Whether Rokudo Mukuro knows it or not, he's practically a Vongola member.
Just as everyone was speechless, two groups of people hurriedly arrived.
"Judaime..."
"Tsuna..."
"Lord Bailan..."
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw two grand convoys driving towards them, a spectacle no less impressive than welcoming the Dragon King.
Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi were the first to open the car door and get out, followed by Kikyo on the other side. The three of them hurriedly walked towards the group.
"Tenth Boss! Are you alright?" Gokudera Hayato rushed to Sawada Tsunayoshi's side and asked with concern.
Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head. "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Rokudo Mukuro, Hibari Kyoya! What are you two up to now?" Gokudera Hayato frowned and said, "Especially you, Mukuro, what are you doing running around aimlessly all day when you don't know anyone here? You're just causing trouble for the Tenth Boss!"
“Mukuro, Gokudera-kun is very worried about you,” Sawada Tsunayoshi explained.
“Who’s worried about him!” Gokudera Hayato shouted.
Yamamoto Takeshi said with a smile, "Well, Gokudera is shy."
Rokudo Mukuro said with some doubt, "Isn't it you guys who are just causing him trouble? You made Sawada Tsunayoshi get beaten up by Hibari and Reborn... and now we have to clean up your messes."
Prison Temple Hayato, Yamamoto Takeshi: "..."
That makes so much sense, it seems irrefutable.
Sawada Tsunayoshi covered his face in pain. Could you please not bring up his dark history?
Gokudera Hayato asked somewhat warily, "Who are you?"
Kikyo completely ignored him, instead walking to Byakuran's side and bowing respectfully, saying, "Lord Byakuran, I apologize. Because I suddenly detected a large amount of flame fluctuations, I brought my men here..."
Kikyo was worried that her presence would disrupt Byakuran's plans.
Bai Lan smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright~"
He no longer has any interest in conquering the world or becoming its god, so the True Six Funeral Wreaths no longer need to be hidden.
"Hey, I'm asking who you are." Gokudera Hayato became alert.
Sawada Tsunayoshi explained, "Gokudera-kun, these two are the bosses of the Millefiore family, Byakuran Soge and Yuni."
Gokudera Hayato's eyes darkened. So, they were from the Millefiore family.
Byakuran suddenly said something surprising, "Tsuna-chan~ Since we're so destined to meet, why don't we form an alliance~"
"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes widened as he tried to tell that Byakuran was joking, but his intuition told him that Byakuran was telling the truth.
"Uni-chan~ What do you think of my idea?"
Yuni smiled and nodded in agreement, “That’s a good idea. My original family has always been on good terms with the Vongola family. Now that we’ve merged into a new family, it’s only right that we continue to be on good terms with the Vongola family.”
Byakuran happily unwrapped a bag of marshmallows. "We both agree, so, Tsuna-chan, let's form an alliance!"
"Tenth Boss, be careful, it might be a trap!" Gokudera Hayato stood sideways next to Sawada Tsunayoshi.
He had absolutely no faith in the Millefiore family. Recently, they had clashed with this family multiple times, and while they could handle the situation, they couldn't gain a complete advantage, demonstrating the Millefiore family's power and ambition. There were even rumors that the Millefiore family's boss coveted the Vongola Rings!
The Tenth Generation was aware of the Millefiore Family's strength and worried about what might happen to them, so he temporarily put the Vongola Rings away.
Therefore, his first reaction upon hearing this was to be skeptical.
"I'm being sincere!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled slightly, "Byakuran-kun..."
"Just call me Bai Lan, okay?"
“Byakuran,” Sawada Tsunayoshi watched Byakuran stuffing one marshmallow after another into his mouth, feeling a bit sickeningly sweet, “your suggestion is a bit too hasty. Why don’t we re-arrange the time and place first, and then have a formal discussion?”
Byakuran thought for a moment, "It is indeed a bit rushed. Let's talk tomorrow then, at the Vongola Family location. Tsuna-chan~ I genuinely want to form an alliance with you all~"
Sawada Tsunayoshi forced a smile. Just two days ago they were fighting to the death, acting like rival families, but today they're talking about forming an alliance. Who would believe such sincerity?
Okay, Sawada Tsuna guitar still believed it.
“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for you both at the Vongola Castle tomorrow.”
Both sides were preparing to leave. Sawada Tsunayoshi led everyone to get into the car, only to find that Hibari Kyoya was nowhere to be seen. This was perfectly normal, but Mukuro from ten years ago was still standing there without moving.
"Mukuro, let's go back first."
"Eh?" Byakuran walked up to Rokudo Mukuro and said with a smile, "Mukuro-kun, you're going to visit the Millefiore family. You won't be going back with Tsuna-chan for now."
Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned. Although he felt that Byakuran would not harm Mukuro, he was still worried about Mukuro being left alone in the Millefiore family.
"skeleton?"
Rokudo Mukuro: "The Millefiore family has some very interesting things going on. After I've had my fill of fun, I'll go back with Byakuran tomorrow."
In his own world, the showdown between Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran ten years later is at its most crucial moment, and he will soon witness Sawada Tsunayoshi's shining moment, which he doesn't want to miss.
He wanted to tag along with Bai Lan to watch TV!
Sawada Tsunayoshi was really unwilling. In his eyes, Mukuro from ten years ago really needed to be taken care of, and he didn't want to let him go out and have fun on his own.
He was genuinely worried that Rokudo Mukuro would cause a mishap...
Suddenly, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Rokudo Mukuro both frowned at the same time.
"Kufufufu~ What's something interesting? Why don't you include me~"
A subtle ripple appeared in the air around Sawada Tsunayoshi, and as a wisp of indigo mist appeared, another Rokudo Mukuro (+) appeared before them.
Byakuran looked on in surprise, "Wow~ Mukuro-kun~ Something interesting has happened again."
As soon as Rokudo Mukuro (+) appeared, he stared intently at Rokudo Mukuro, a smile playing on his mature, handsome face, which was slightly pale. "Oh my~ Look what I've just seen? A version of myself from ten years ago in a parallel world~"
Rokudo Mukuro smiled at Rokudo Mukuro (+), "It's not like we've met for the first time. Is it necessary to act so surprised? I remember, it seems like I was the one who pulled you out of the Avengers Prison's water dungeon."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "No need for special thanks, after all, I didn't expect my parallel world self to be so weak."
Rokudo Mukuro didn't know how others perceived him. However, looking at the man in front of him who looked exactly like him, he felt a very strange feeling.
Wow, I'm... this handsome!
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Being locked up in a dark, sunless water prison for so long, my body is bound to break down. It's all thanks to you." Rokudo Mukuro (+) was all polite, and the smile on his lips made his face look even more handsome. His words were full of self-pity.
Rokudo Mukuro knew this was one of his usual methods, but... he fell for it!
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, I'm going to the Millefiore Family with him, and we'll go to the Vongola tomorrow." Rokudo Mukuro (+) made the decision without even consulting Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran.
Byakuran picked up the bag of chocolates that had been sitting on the table. "Welcome! I bought lots and lots of chocolates for you two Mukuro-kun. We can eat them while we play."
Rokudo Mukuro nodded in satisfaction. This Byakuran is quite good.
He walked up to him, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. It seemed that he had had some kind of adventure in the parallel world.
Watching the two Mukuro figures disappear into the distance, Sawada Tsunayoshi, sitting in the car, eagerly anticipated tomorrow. Even knowing it was impossible, he was still worried; Byakuran seemed like a master at poaching people!
...
The two Rokudo Mukuro followed Byakuran Soge to the Millefiore family.
Rokudo Mukuro (+) sat leisurely on the sofa, as comfortable as if he were at home. "What interesting thing happened? Tell me about it."
The two said in unison:
Bai Lan: "To rule the world."
Rokudo Mukuro: "Save the world."
Rokudo Mukuro's lips twitched. "Are you two playing some kind of hero game?"
Rokudo Mukuro nodded slowly. "That's quite a vivid analogy. Sawada Tsunayoshi is the hero who leveled up from scratch."
Byakuran complained somewhat discontentedly, "Mukuro-kun~ how do I resemble a great demon king? I should at least be a god."
Rokudo Mukuro (+) also became interested in what they were saying. He sat up straight and said with great interest, "I know Byakuran seems to have some chuunibyou ideas about ruling the world. So, did Sawada Tsunayoshi stop him?"
“It was Sawada Tsunayoshi, a middle school student ten years ago, who stopped him,” Rokudo Mukuro explained.
He explained the general situation of his own world ten years in the future in a parallel universe: "The final battle is about to begin."
All of this was supposed to happen in this world, but it was disrupted by Rokudo Mukuro's arrival.
"Wow~" Rokudo Mukuro exclaimed in surprise, "The world is truly full of wonders. So, he's about to die."
"They're still alive and well~ And besides, I haven't been causing any trouble~"
The two Rokudo Mukuros said in unison, "Kufufufu~ Remember to retweet us!"
Byakuran readily agreed. The one who got beaten up was a Byakuran from a parallel universe, not him! He's always been well-behaved, and he's about to form an alliance with Tsuna-chan…
Of all the parallel worlds, he must be the one who has had the smoothest life, all thanks to Mukuro-kun~
