Gokudera-kun and I were shot ten years into the future.
That was where we met someone called Lal Mirch.
Hey, it's coming over here!
It noticed us?!
The three of us won't be enough to defeat it.
We'll be wiped out.
We were saved from our perilous situation by the future Yamamoto.
And I was finally reunited with Reborn.
But he doesn't seem to know why we can't return to the past.
What do we have to do to get back to peaceful Namimori?
Somebody, anybody, tell us!
Help us!
Calm down.
There's still hope.
You have to assemble the six scattered Guardians.
Target 76 Search for the Guardians
You have to assemble the six scattered Guardians.
Assemble the Guardians?
Our presence in this time, and the current battle raging, must be connected.
We have to assemble the Guardians to oppose them.
But what can seven people...
Don't talk like such a sissy.
There have been many crises during the long history of the Vongola.
But the successive bosses were always able to salvage the situations,
with the help of the six comrades who guard the Sky.
Got it?
Let's come up with a plan for assembling the Guardians. First-
Wait!
You said something about people we know becoming targets in the Vongola hunt.
Does that include Mom, Kyoko-chan and everyone else?
Reborn!
The Millefiore continue to expand their list of targets.
So they're probably also...
No way...
This is terrible!
What do we do, Reborn?!
I've already made arrangements.
When I went to meet Lal Mirch,
I-Pin and Lambo went to look for Sasagawa and Haru.
They did?
I see.
They aren't kids in this time.
And as for Mama...
She happened to be on a trip to Italy with Iemitsu,
so we don't know her situation.
Italy?
That means...
Boss, they said Vongola HQ was destroyed...
Could Mom have...?
As for our other comrades...
Bianchi and Futa are out gathering information.
Sis and Futa are okay?!
But most of our acquaintances in Namimori have been eliminated in the past two days.
Including Yamamoto's father.
N-No way...
God... Buddha...
I beg you...
Please keep Mom, Kyoko-chan, Haru, and everyone, safe...
Please... Please...
You look much better in that suit.
But are you okay?
This is a new suit made by Giannini.
It can cope being exposed to non-7³ Policy?
Pretty much.
But I can't go outside.
I can only move freely inside this place.
I see.
Well then.
Anyway, we're here to discuss you, Lal Mirch.
I heard that the homeland's taken considerable damage.
Your job was to report on the situation here, right?
But we've lost contact with the outside advisor.
What will you do now?
I'll take Byakuran...
By myself.
That's reckless.
Non-7³ Policy is being fired everywhere outside.
That stuff is harmful to us.
You'll be cursed to death.
I'm prepared for that.
I've been exposed to too much non-7³ Policy.
I don't have much longer to live.
Even if I was a failed Arcobaleno...
I'll be doing as I want.
Tsuna and Gokudera need you right now.
Can't you think this over?
You and Yamamoto should be enough.
I refuse.
You intend to avenge Colonnello, don't you?
Hi...
Uh, we didn't mean to eavesdrop...
Avenge Colonnello?
Just come inside.
Did you guys sleep well?
We're finally starting the mission to assemble the Guardians.
Huh? H-Hold on!
I'm not ready yet!
A-And...
You won't get anywhere by worrying about Kyoko and the others.
Assembling the Guardians will ultimately serve to protect them all.
Don't worry, boss.
Gokudera-kun...
The stupid cow aside, I-Pin's pretty strong.
I'm sure they'll return safely.
All right, let's get started.
I've been talking with Yamamoto,
and the first Guardian we go after needs to have adaptable fighting potential.
In other words, someone strong.
If you want someone strong...
That's right.
The strongest Vongola X Guardian:
Kyoya Hibari!
It would be pretty comforting to have Hibari-san around...
Well, since I'm already here,
he'd be the strongest of the remaining ones.
He's trying to compete!
But where is Hibari-san right now?
I'm not sure about that.
Huh?
I was away from Namimori for a while,
so I don't know where the other Guardians are.
But we have a lead on Hibari.
Here it is.
This is...
This bird is...
The one that was with Hibari-san...
Apparently, its name is Hibird.
Who came up with that name?!
That's what we'll be looking for.
Hey, wait!
Don't tell me this is the only lead!
If you consider Hibari's personality, he shouldn't be too far from this town.
He loves Namimori a lot more than anybody else.
Well, that's true.
I can't go with you,
but you'd better bring him back here.
Why can't you?
Does the outside make you that sick?
Don't worry about that stuff.
But without Reborn, I...
Lose that pathetic look on your face.
Yamamoto will be with you instead.
He's familiar with the battle-style of this time.
Th-That's true...
Relax.
You don't need to be scared.
You possess an incredible power that we had lost.
Incredible power...
...that you lost?
That's right.
You brought hope with you.
The Vongola Rings.
Lord Byakuran.
I have a report.
According to the 14th squad,
the Chiavarone Family, led by Dino, is putting up more resistance than expected,
and they're at a stalemate.
I figured Dino would be strong.
Also, we've received word that Mr. Shoichi Irie has reached Japan.
Oh? That was fast, Sho-chan.
I haven't seen you before.
Sir.
I was just assigned to White Spell's 6th squad. My name is Leonardo Lippi.
I see. I'll be counting on you.
You can drop the "Lord."
It's so suffocating.
However...
In our Family, you can be happy as long as you do what you're supposed to do.
So, can I ask you to pass on a message, Leo-kun?
Y-Yes, sir!
Could you send flowers to Sho-chan in Japan?
Flowers, you say?
Yup, white anemones.
A whole load of them.
This is...
The factory in the 5th district.
Though it's been abandoned now.
So this place was shut down.
One of those six entrances leads here.
Let's head to Nami Middle for now.
Hey, Yamamoto.
What did you mean when you said the Vongola Rings were our hope?
You said something about them being lost!
Why aren't there any Vongola Rings in this time?!
Oh, that's what you meant.
We smashed the rings and threw them away a while back.
What?! Threw them away?!
After all we went through to get them?!
Who did that?!
Our boss.
Y-You don't mean...
Th-The boss did?!
Some of the Guardians were against the idea,
but Tsuna refused to budge.
Why did I do that?
You don't know either?
Tsuna began talking about destroying the Vongola Rings
when the Mafia started to fight over them.
They fought over...
...the rings?
He probably felt they shouldn't exist if they only served to fuel conflict.
That's the kind of man you were.
You even began doubting the very existence of the Vongola.
'Course, we're relying on the rings pretty heavily now.
This way!
Hurry it up!
Th-That's...
Lambo and I-Pin!
Hurry over here!
They've got somebody with them.
Huh? Could they be...
The people over there are...
Kyoko-san, Haru-san, run away!
I'll handle this!
It is...
From above?!
Huh?!
Go finish them off.
I'm on it, Bro!
The Millefiore's Black Spell!
Black Spell...
The Millefiore's Black Spell!
Black Spell...
Kyoko-chan! Haru!
Let's go!
Remove the Mammon Chains from the Vongola Rings!
One prize. Two prizes.
I'll handle this.
Lambo, take care of Kyoko-san and Haru-san!
You can't do anything in that state!
Just hurry it up!
I'll take them then.
Don't butt in, Tazaru.
Do a good job, Nosaru.
Here I come, my prizes!
I'll go and sickle them while they're weakened!
Hey, shadow!
Your head is mine!
Bro, who is this guy?
He may have been on the target list,
but I don't bother with remembering people who keep dying.
Right?
Who is this guy?!
He's fending off my attacks!
My turn.
Shigure Soen Ryu Stance 8:
Get away, Nosaru!
Pouring Rain!
Not far enough.
That was close.
I've heard of two Vongolian swordsmen...
And we had to run into this one...
Are you all okay?!
Hang in there!
V-Vongola!
And Mr. Gokudera!
Told you, didn't I?
I knew Tsuna-san and the others would come save us.
A ten-years-older Haru!
She's all womanly now...
Eek?
Did I suddenly grow taller?
She hasn't changed on the inside.
Damn jerks!
How dare you damage this suit that matches my bro's!
What?!
A water barrier.
Amazing...
You guys need to remember this:
The rings hold the power to open these boxes.
I see.
So that's how you use the open hole in this thing.
Where did you get that?
It was in my future self's suitcase.
Oh yeah, I heard that he'd found a crazy one...
I won't let you take all the glory!
Nothing's happening.
What's so funny?!
There's more than blood running through the human body.
Invisible life energy also courses through it, producing waves.
Life energy?
There are seven types of waves.
When the ring conforms with your own characteristics,
it reacts and creates high-density energy.
Th-That's...
Yes, the Deathperation Flame.
What's that?
A-Amazing!
What's this little thing?
M-My flames?!
This thing's erasing my flames!
So he's the Vongola's Guardian of the Rain Ring...
H-Huh?!
What's wrong?
I-It's terrible!
Kyoko-san's gone!
What?!
Now that you mention it...
Kyoko-chan?
That explosion may have...
N-No way...
We can't be sure yet.
Huh?
Go find her, Tsuna.
I'll handle the enemy.
O-Okay.
Got it!
Damn it...
He's fast!
I take back what I said, Nosaru.
I had no intention of interfering,
but I can't let such a big shot slip away after all those boring jobs.
That's no fair, bro!
He's mine!
I'll let you have the others!
Fine. I'll wait.
While I deal with the rest of them!
Tsuna!
Boss!
I'm your opponent!
Ow...
Guys...
Yamamoto's with them.
They should be fine...
I...
Kyoko-chan!
Kyoko-chan! Where are you?!
If she was blown away like I was...
Kyoko-chan!
She's okay, right?
What should I do?
If something happens to Kyoko-chan...
If something happens, I'll...
Kyoko-chan...
Kyoko-chan?
She saw me crying!
I'm so lame!
Tsu-kun.
Thanks for coming, Tsu-kun.
What's with the "Tsu-kun?"
Sorry, I sprained my leg.
What?! Are you okay?!
Huh? That's odd.
You look all young, like old times...
Uh...
That's...
No one will be escaping.
Don't worry. It'll be over quick.
I can't keep the main dish, the Guardian of the Rain Ring, waiting.
Get back!
You want to fight?
Tsu-kun.
I-I won't let you...
I won't!
You won't stop moving!
Damn it!
Bastard!
Bah!
I have to hurry or the boss...
Damn it...
Why won't anything happen?
Is it broken?
Picture a flame, Gokudera.
Create an image of a Deathperation Flame;
one which turns your resolve into flames.
My resolve into flames?
You should be able to do it.
But leave this one to me.
I'm worried about Tsuna.
Get back, Gokudera.
Why you...!
Damn it! He's acting all cool...
Just because he has ten years on me!
But I'll let it go this time.
Show me your stuff!
I'll use these to finish this.
Wh-What?!
Eek?
Lambo-san wants seconds!
What's wrong, kid?
You're shaking.
Tsu-kun...
It's okay.
Everything's okay.
Tsuna-kun.
Huh?!
Ky-Kyoko-chan!
Next time:
Flame of Resolve.
