Conquer the world, young man!

"Haha, it really is ten sets!" Yamamoto Takeshi scratched his hair and laughed heartily. "Is this an outfit for some kind of show? It looks really good!"

Meanwhile, Levi, standing opposite Totsuka, blushed strangely when he saw the figure opposite him. "You, who are you?"

"Hey!" the white-haired man standing above shouted, "What's going on? Why are there outsiders here!"

"She really is beautiful." Mamon's smile widened even more. "A person like that would make a lot of money anywhere..."

"Hehehe... Prince, I think it's really magnificent." Belphegor stared intently at the people below, his shoulders shaking with laughter. "It's so funny!"

The white-haired man stared directly at Cerbero. Those below found it all too strange; were they even human? Seeing an opponent like that, who would want to fight?

“No,” Cerbero explained directly, “He was summoned directly by a rocket launcher from ten years in the future. He is the person from ten years in the future, so we consider him to be a contestant, and the competition will continue.”

"It's still the Ring Battle?" Ten years later, Totsuka smiled slightly and looked at Levitan. "Levi, please take care of me in the match."

"Um..." Levi bowed deeply to the person, his face showing a hint of shyness yet solemnity, and said, "I'm sorry, but I won't let you have it!"

"Hehe, I won't bully you too much." Ten years later, Totsuka said this, then quickly flew forward, a string of talismans in his hand already wrapped around Levi's body. "Take it!"

What was clearly the most fragile piece of paper transformed into sturdy chains, binding Levi completely. "Sorry, Levi." Totsuka smiled, and with a light tap of his finger, the chains emitted faint flashes of light again. As lightning struck down from the sky once more, Levi was directly electrocuted by the conductive steel wires on the ground and the steel cables binding him, causing him to convulse, roll his eyes, and collapse to the ground.

"Oh dear, can't Levi withstand this voltage intensity yet?" Tokuzuki put the talisman back and tilted his head. "Is it over?"

"The match is over once you obtain the Thunder Guardian's Ring worn by your opponent," Cerbero replied respectfully upon seeing how easily the newcomer had resolved the match.

Ten years later, Totsuka nodded, reached out and waved his hand. As if a gentle breeze had passed by, half of the ring that Levi was wearing flew into Totsuka's hand. Totsuka then tossed the half of the ring to Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was standing to the side, and chuckled, "Tsuna is still the cutest now."

“Tatara…” Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at the newcomer and quickly took the ring. “You really are something else ten years from now…”

Totsuka reached out and patted Sawada Tsunayoshi's head, lowering his voice to say, "Tsuna, you really have to like girls, okay? I think Haru is pretty good."

"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked, completely unaware that Totsuka from ten years in the future would be telling him this.

"I've always trusted Tsuna, so don't let me down." As if he had thought of something, Totsuka's words sounded somewhat resolute. "Don't cause any trouble, Tsuna."

“…Yes!” Although he didn’t know what Totsuka meant, Tsuna, who had been taught a sadistic lesson by Reborn, had already stood up straight and answered reflexively when he heard Totsuka’s tone.

The Ten-Year Rocket Launcher can exchange people in the present with people ten years in the future. There is also a time limit for the exchange. After five minutes, after a puff of smoke, the gorgeously dressed Totsuka returns to the boy he was ten years ago.

"Huh!" Totsuka looked around and sighed as if relieved, "I'm finally back." Thinking of the person he had just seen, Totsuka patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually seen Fuyuki, and Fuyuki had even asked him to come to Misumi Mountain to find him. Fuyuki's smile was so gentle, but why did he feel so threatened? And before coming back, Fuyuki had kissed his forehead... Thinking of this, Totsuka couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead again.

Shaking his head, Totsuka quickly came to his senses. "Um, what about the competition?"

"Lord Totsuka, whether it's the future you or the present you, you are truly amazing!" Gokudera Hayato rushed to Totsuka's side, intending to grasp Totsuka's hands, but was repeatedly blocked by Diarmuid, who appeared out of nowhere.

"Please maintain your manners." Diarmuid glanced at Gokudera Hayato, and when he saw Totsuka, his furrowed brows relaxed. "Master, are you alright?"

Totsuka shook his head, and when he saw Diarmuid's concerned look, he smiled easily, "It's nothing, but Lambo's gadget is really amazing that it could take me ten years into the future."

"Totsuka!" Lambo, rubbing his nose, immediately rushed into Totsuka's arms. This time, Diarmuid did not stop him. "Lambbo-sama wanted to help, but..." Lambo pointed directly at Gokudera and shouted, "It's all that idiot Gokudera's fault for stopping Lambo-sama from going in to help you! But Totsuka was quite handsome just now, hehehe."

Totsuka gently rubbed the child in her arms, feeling a sense of wonder as she touched the soft, fluffy hair. "Rambo's hair must have a portal to another dimension, otherwise how could something so big fit inside?"

Totsuka handed the half of the ring she was wearing to Tsuna, saying, "Seriously, I didn't do anything. Is this all there is to the competition?"

“I didn’t expect to find such a peculiar person over there, Squalo.” Belphegor looked down at Levi, who had finally regained consciousness, his smile never fading. “Looks like Papaya Face won’t be in a good mood for a while.”

"Ah, I was hoping Levi could catch Randy, but we've lost an opportunity like this." Mammon snorted. "Couldn't Varia have found someone who could make money?"

Now that he had regained his senses, Levi knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "Boss, I'm so sorry... I actually lost to a man I've never even met..."

"Now it's time to announce the results of the match..." Cerbero was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone who suddenly arrived.

"You actually lost, you scum!" The newcomer was a tall man wearing a long coat, with short black hair and red eyes full of rage. There were dark scars on his cheeks, but these did not ruin his appearance at all. On the contrary, they made his aura even more fierce.

"BOSS!" Levi, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately lowered his head when he saw the person who came in. "It's all my fault!"

“XANXUS!” When Tsuna, who was standing next to Totsuka, saw this person, his whole body tensed up.

Totsuka turned his head, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong, Tsuna? Is this the leader of Varia, the one who's vying with you for the Vongola boss position?"

"You think you can become the Vongola successor just by relying on this brat who came out of nowhere next to you?" XANXUS frowned slightly, but a mocking smile appeared on his face. "What a piece of trash..."

“That’s not true!” Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately replied, “They are all my comrades. The successors of the Vongola are not as important as them!”

Looking into Tsuna's clear eyes, Totsuka was deeply moved by the conviction within them. As the leader of the Vongola, no one was more suitable than Tsuna. Even when faced with someone so powerful, this young man possessed unwavering courage.

Totsuka smiled slightly and said, "XANXUS, is that right? In my opinion, Tsuna is indeed more suitable to be the successor of the Vongola than you!"

"What did you say!" XANXUS's brows furrowed deeply upon hearing the two brats' words, and flames erupted from his other hand. "Scum..."

"Lord XANXUS, please don't do this!" Cerberus, the referee, quickly stepped forward. "If you fight here, the ring battle will be meaningless. Please put your hands away!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" XANXUS slammed the flames in his hand directly onto Cerberus, chuckling, "I'm not angry, I just find it amusing."

Cerbero, who had been knocked to the ground by XANXUS, cried out in pain, which made Totsuka's smile disappear.

“I also find it quite interesting.” Totsuka gently rubbed Lambo in his arms and continued, “As a leader, it’s a real failure if you don’t even care about your companions. And to ignore advice and directly attack a girl is truly rude.”

"Trash, what did you say?" XANXUS's red eyes turned cold again, but the smile on his lips widened. It was rare to find someone so ignorant and daring to speak to him like that, which made him fix his gaze on the boy.

“This is truly rare.” The Varia members looked at the figure standing above, and Mammon smiled and said, “It’s been so long since we’ve seen the BOSS smile.”

"Didn't you hear me? I don't mind saying it again." Totsuka narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly. "You really can't compare to Tsuna, XANXUS."

"Tatara!" Sawada Tsunayoshi's lips twitched. At this moment, Totsuka was directly confronting this person, which was too dangerous!

Totsuka's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Tsuna. "Of course, Tsuna, you should also learn from XANXUS's aura. Judging from his appearance, he is highly respected by his subordinates, which means he must be very strong."

XANXUS, who was originally furious, lowered his hand when he heard the boy's praise. He was also a little incredulous that such a kid had gathered such people around him. "I finally understand why the old man chose you as the tenth Vongola. Whether it's this childish idea or these strange people around you, you really have many similarities with the old man."

"Huh?" Tsuna didn't expect that what he thought would be a fight would just pass by so easily.

XANXUS found it increasingly amusing and burst into laughter. "It seems this is going to be a tragedy, no, it should be a comedy."

"What is he saying?" Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't understand what XANXUS was thinking, but he had a very bad feeling.

Totsuka shook his head at Tsuna, "Tsuna, sometimes it's better to ignore people who talk to themselves."

Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked, indicating his agreement with Totsuka's theory.

“That woman…” XANXUS looked at the other Cerberus, “…continue with the announcement.”

"Yes!" Cerberus answered immediately. After looking at the personnel of both sides, he said, "Regarding this battle of guardians, Totsuka Tatara won the battle of lightning, and he also obtained the Ring of Lightning."

“Heh.” XANXUS glanced at the boy again. “This time it was just luck. After you taste the real fear in the Ring Battle, I will get rid of you…” XANXUS said coldly, “Just like that old man.”

Reborn raised his head and looked at XANXUS. "Iemitsu has already gone to investigate. You'd better not have done anything to the Ninth Boss."

XANXUS tilted his head and said calmly, "Is that so? I hope he can find out something soon."

"What did you do to the Ninth Boss?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi shouted.

XANXUS stopped answering his question and instead looked down at the group below. "I'll let you be happy for a while, you imposters. You still have a chance. The duel continues." A smile returned to XANXUS's lips. "If you really win, I will hand over the leadership to you. But if you lose... everything you cherish will disappear..."

Totsuka burst out laughing and waved his hand, "I can't take it anymore, it's just too much fun."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's previously stiff face twitched immediately upon hearing Totsuka's laughter. "Tatara..." It's incredibly brave of him to laugh so happily under these circumstances.

"Hahaha!" Lambo, who was in Totsuka's arms, clapped his hands and laughed when he saw him laughing so happily. "With Lord Lambo here, we will never lose!"

Totsuka patted Lambo and took a breath. "I think it was Tsuna who was directly chosen as the Tenth Boss, not XANXUS who wanted to give it to him. Also, it's really too difficult to destroy something I cherish." Totsuka gave XANXUS a regretful look and sighed, "You can't destroy it."

XANXUS's forehead twitched, and anger brewed in his red eyes once more.

“Of course, I don’t object to you giving it a try.” Totsuka shrugged and chuckled. “You know, the world is more interesting when you try new things.”

“He really has a lot of guts,” Mammon shook his head and sighed. “I think it might be difficult for me to get him.”

"Hehehe..." Belphegor let out another strange laugh, "This is so interesting, Prince, I really love seeing this person!"

Squalo, with his white hair, lowered his head and muttered, "Too daring! He'll completely lose control of the BOSS!"

Totsuka didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He might have been a little worried before Mikoto became the Red King, but with Mikoto's current abilities, there was nothing to worry about. The combined power of everyone in HOMRO was also considerable, and as for Gilgamesh and Enkidu, their abilities were far too high. As for Ren-senpai and his classmates, being ordinary people, he wouldn't give Xanxus a chance to make a move.

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Cerberus immediately spoke up, "Now, I will announce the groups for tomorrow night's ring battle." Seeing that XANXUS had not made a move, Cerberus breathed a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow night is the duel of the Guardians of the Storm."

"Is it Gokudera tomorrow?" Yamamoto Takeshi turned to Gokudera and smiled.

"Gokudera should be fine, right?" Sawada Tsunayoshi trusted Gokudera quite a bit. Apart from those of them who started out as ordinary people, Gokudera had been a member of a mafia family since childhood, and his abilities were by no means low.

Totsuka glanced in the direction of Varia's group, noticing that the light blond-haired man smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, when he heard about the Storm Guardians' duel. Could Gokudera's opponent be the one who always called himself a prince?

"Hmm." Gokudera Hayato looked embarrassed. He had been training with Shamal, but he still hadn't mastered the moves, which made him feel completely uncertain.

"It's alright," Totsuka said softly to Gokudera Hayato. "If it's you, Gokudera, there won't be any problems." Someone as smart as Gokudera, who can still get high scores on problems even if he doesn't pay attention in class, must have his own methods.

When Gokudera Hayato heard Totsuka's words, the pressure in his heart was greatly reduced. It is undeniable that everyone felt relaxed when the boy was around.

XANXUS had no patience to listen to what those people were saying. Before leaving, he glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi and the strange boy one last time. For him, there was no possibility of failure in the Ring Battle.

“BOSS.” Levi called out in a low voice as he watched XANXUS leave.

“Levy, you’re lucky,” Mammon chuckled. “At least the boss didn’t make you atone with your death.”

"Who told that Papaya Face to be so stupid?" Belphegor drew a small knife he carried with him and threw it directly at Levi. "It seems the prince will have to do it!"

Seeing Levi kneeling motionless, and with the 'prince's' throwing knife about to pierce him, Totsuka drew his pistol and fired a bullet. He then said to the stunned Levi, "Don't you know you should dodge?"

The bullet collided with the throwing knife, deflecting it aside. Levi looked up at the man who had defeated him, his emotions becoming somewhat complicated.

"Hehehe, it would be great if the prince's opponent was him." Belphegor's smile widened as he looked at the boy. "No matter how you look at it, it's just too interesting."

"Let's get going! Who knows what kind of temper the boss will throw when he gets back," Squalo yelled at Levi below. "Hey! What are you waiting for?!"

Levi stood up, glanced at the boy, and immediately jumped to the top of the next level.

"Well, there will definitely be other opportunities in the future." Mammon muttered to himself, as he was carried by the robot Mosca and followed directly behind Squalo.

With the group gone, tonight's battle was officially over.

"Tatara's marksmanship is quite good too." Reborn's dark eyes were fixed on the boy, a clear smile on his face. "It's obvious he has a famous teacher."

Totsuka touched the gun in his palm and put it away. "My master is indeed a master of the gun. Compared to him, my gun skills are far inferior."

“It seems your experiences are getting more and more interesting, Tatara.” A glint of light appeared in Reborn’s dark eyes. “The people at HOMRO Bar are also closely connected to you.”

Totsuka nodded and readily admitted, "That's right, I am now a subordinate of the Red King."

"The Red King?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was also a little confused by the new term, but judging from the title, he must be someone of considerable status.

“One of the Seven Kings, he’s quite a formidable figure.” Reborn smirked and said slowly, “I didn’t expect the Third King to have already been chosen. In any case, with Totsuki as your partner, we should be able to form an alliance.”

"Huh?" Totsuka hadn't expected Reborn to want an alliance. HOMRO had only just been established and didn't have many members yet. "Isn't the Vongola the Italian mafia? Why would they want to..."

“It’s just my opinion.” Reborn lowered his hat brim slightly, but his tone became serious. “The Vongola doesn’t want to be enemies with someone like the King. If we can cooperate, that would be even better.”

Totsuka also saw nothing wrong with Reborn's idea. As the tenth generation of the Vongola, Tsuna would definitely not have any problems. Maintaining a friendly relationship between the two families would be a good development.
