I am the protagonist

Even if the training has resulted in a significant improvement in strength, isn't the speed of this improvement a bit too fast?

"Did you see it?"

"Hmm, I feel like Chrome's presence has become less noticeable. I already felt that Chrome's presence was already quite low before, but this time it seems to be even lower."

Tsuna was not surprised that Yamamoto would notice the changes in Chrome.

"Krom is still in the adaptation period. After the training ends, she will subconsciously show the results of the training on her body. It will take at least two more days for this child to return to her original state. After two days, you will not feel anything unusual about her."

"The last time we achieved the ultimate structure, it was like this. After two days of fluctuation, it returned to its original state on the third day."

This is a habit I learned after living with Chrome for a long time.

It's not really a habit, but rather that the skills you've developed are easily manifested in your body.

This is actually quite easy to understand. Just like many actors can't break free from the characters they create, it's the same reason why Chrome is in this situation. She got too into character and needs time to adjust back.

"So, Chrome's strength has increased significantly again?"

Yamamoto hadn't expected that Chrome, who had elevated illusion magic to such a level, could still receive a further boost, and judging from the subtle change in appearance, the degree of this improvement in strength was actually quite significant.

"Well, it's a real shame that Chrome is standing in front of all of you again this time."

"I don't really care about that. Only Hibari cares about things like strength."

"What I'm more interested in is how Chrome got stronger this time? I remember you said, Tsuna, that once you've reached the limit of your abilities, it's not easy to improve your strength further."

Tsuna did say those words.

Once one of the abilities of the Dying Will Flame has reached its peak, it becomes very difficult to improve one's strength once again.

In other words, there is a limit to the heights that a Guardian can reach. Breaking through this limit and improving again will be much more difficult than before, and it can even be said that most people absolutely cannot do it.

"I did say that."

"It is very difficult to improve one's strength again after reaching the limit of one's ability. Once an ability has been reached its limit, it is impossible to improve it again in a short period of time. However, in this case, it is better to develop other abilities."

"Hmm...like Gokudera, who wields Dying Will Flames of different attributes?"

Tsuna nodded.

"If you want to further improve your strength under these circumstances, the only way is to explore other attributes. Perhaps continuing to train your original attributes day after day for ten years can make your ultimate ability improve again, but this takes time. It is unrealistic to expect a significant improvement in a short period of time."

"So, Chrome developed a new attribute? If it's convenient, could you tell me what Chrome's new attribute is?"

Developing new attributes is not a new thing; Gokudera has also developed new attributes in the future.

In order to perfect his CAI system, Gokudera discovered the five types of Dying Will Flames hidden within his body.

Even the last D was a master of multiple death flames, so developing new attributes is not a rare thing for him.

But what kind of Dying Will Flame has Chrome developed this time?

"It's the same death flame as you."

"Rain of Flame?"

"Isn't that just calming down combined with illusion?"

These two combinations made Yamamoto's expression instantly turn very strange.

Ever since he understood the power of the Dying Will Flame, he knew that the combination of multiple Dying Will Flames was extremely ferocious and could unleash many possibilities.

Gokudera, for example, uses a combination of multiple Dying Will Flames in his battles.

Upon learning that the Dying Will Flame unearthed by Chrome was the Rain Flame, Yamamoto's entire face twitched.

Just imagining the combination of Rain Flame and Mist Flame makes you realize how terrible it would be.

Chapter 264 Tsuna, why didn't you use D back then?

"It feels like it's going to get very dangerous."

"Yamamoto, remove the feeling; that word wasn't used quite accurately."

"...Ah, it really is dangerous."

The combination of fog and rain is enough to send chills down your spine just thinking about it.

"It is extremely dangerous."

"The combination of fog and rain is actually quite dangerous from the perspective of illusion magic, especially for very skilled sorcerers. Mixing the two types of death flame together can further enhance the power of the illusion."

Actually, it's a bit strange for Yamamoto to say that.

"Tsuna, I remember D possessed many types of Dying Will Flames, right? Wouldn't he have been incredibly strong if he could have used other attributes in his genjutsu back then?"

"That only means it would become incredibly powerful in theory, but is it actually possible to achieve that in practice?"

"No, he can't do it."

“D knew that using other death flames while using illusions would make him weaker, so he never went in that direction from the beginning.”

Theoretically speaking, combining illusion magic with other attributes can definitely make one very strong, but such a theory has certain prerequisites.

Only by training other death flames to their limits can different death flames complement each other. Once there is a difference in strength, the sorcerer will need to use a lot of energy to cover up this subtle difference in strength.

This weakness is often the most fatal flaw for warlocks.

D made the right choice because he understood this. His main attribute was still fog, but he used fog to the extreme and then used it to manipulate other death flames to create an extreme disguise.

Therefore, D is able to use other Death Flames because of the nature of Mist, which is construction; otherwise, he would never have been able to use other Death Flames.

"A sorcerer can create a perfect illusion to control the target. If there is any flaw in the illusion, then the sorcerer is third-rate."

"Perhaps multiple Death Flames can complement each other with the mist, and even make D much stronger... but that is based on the premise that D can also be trained to the extreme with other Death Flames."

"Yamamoto, you should also know that the power of illusion needs to be controlled at all times. If there is even the slightest deviation, it may be possible for someone to break free from the illusion. Such illusion is called imperfect illusion, and among sorcerers, this kind of illusion is generally called garbage."

"D can use mist to its fullest potential, but he cannot reach the full potential of other death flames. Therefore, if he wants to use other attributes in illusions, two situations will inevitably arise."

"The first approach is to reduce the effectiveness of illusions in order to maintain a balance between fog and other attributes. However, doing so would inevitably make the originally flawless illusions less effective, and adding other death flames to illusions is not guaranteed to work."

"Once the level of illusion magic declines, let alone whether the death flames added to the illusion magic can play a certain role, just considering the illusion magic itself, immature illusion magic may not even be able to play the role it originally could."

"The second method involves using the mist to its fullest potential while incorporating other death flames for support. However, doing so would inevitably make the originally flawless illusion riddled with flaws."

"To close the loopholes, we need to focus more on illusions, and even use other death flames while controlling illusions."

"Under these circumstances, Yamamoto, do you think D can still continue fighting us?"

"cannot!"

Under both conditions mentioned by Tsuna, Yamamoto was confident that he could see through the illusion and inflict great damage on the sorcerer.

Especially the second type, focusing too much attention on illusion can become a burden.

Once the warlock's location is found, the warlock in that state will inevitably face certain death.

Tsunayoshi shrugged.

"So, when facing us, D didn't overuse abilities other than mist. Instead, he maximized the use of mist, using its structure to compensate for the deficiencies in other Dying Will Flames, barely managing to use them in battle."

"At that time, he could only make this choice because it was the only way he could disguise his overwhelming strength."

Yes, everything about D is a facade.

His strength is real, but it was enhanced after he obtained the Night Flame of the Avengers.

In addition, D possesses some secret techniques that allow him to fully control his body, and Rokudo Mukuro's body and soul are highly compatible; otherwise, D's strength would at most have reached Chrome's level.

"In the last battle against D, he mainly used Night Flame to catch you off guard, using its properties to seal you in a confined area, preventing you from escaping."

"The reason he didn't use a finishing move last time wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he really couldn't kill so many people in one go. Besides, you, Gokudera, and Sasagawa aren't weak in themselves."

"Those words put more psychological pressure on you, leading to a misjudgment of his intelligence."

D may think that no one can see through his tricks, but as long as there is a strong person by his side, they can easily see through his reasons for doing so, and even directly counterattack D.

Last time, Tsuna could have dealt with D using conventional methods.

After all, conventional methods are never as convenient as cheating.

"That guy is really cunning."

Even now, listening to Yamamoto, I still feel that the other party's level of treachery is extraordinary.

"This is a tactic, not an act of treachery."

"He uses language to mislead you into believing certain things, confusing your perceptions. This is a tactic used in battle. In battle, who would clearly and explicitly tell the enemy their own information? Even if they did, it would be deliberately misleading and false information."

"Conversely, those who believe this intelligence are the fools."

D's strength lies in this: his persuasive ability is extraordinary, and in battle, he can easily create an information discrepancy between the two sides.

This verbal attack capability is what makes D so terrifying; once such a misunderstanding arises between the two sides, the gap between them will gradually widen.

Chapter 265 Strength is the greatest stimulus to Yun Que

"So, Tsuna, are you planning to continue looking for Sasagawa-senpai?"

Yamamoto wasn't angry at all that Tsuna said he was an idiot; he himself knew he was an idiot.

"That was the original plan, but I gave up after seeing the situation on Gokudera's side."

Tsuna didn't want to run into something he shouldn't have when he went to find Sasagawa.

"I'd rather go with Chrome to see Hibari."

“A week ago I handed Lark over to Dino to mess with. Based on the directions I gave Lark, Dino should have been driven to the brink of death by Lark this past week.”

The cloud is like a virus, invading and absorbing other forces and turning them into its own.

Even though Tsunayoshi told Hibari not to casually enter another stage, is that guy an obedient person?

He's a disobedient person by nature, and also a curious one, so he'll definitely try it.

Now, Tsuna's trip to see Hibari is less about going to see him and more about pulling Dino out of hell.

The awakening of the cloud is completely different from that of others. The cloud is a very terrifying power. The moment its power is fully unleashed, it will cause a huge commotion. If you are not prepared, you will definitely be implicated.

"The lark has started too."

"Tsuna, how much do you think Hibari will improve his strength?"

"Hibari has great potential. If he can improve his strength, it would be easy for him to reach the pinnacle of his abilities. However, he is not yet able to reach that level."

"So, Hibari's strength is still below ours?"

"Yes. However, if there is a period of time for adjustment and improvement through battles of the same level, then Hibari should also be able to improve his abilities to the extreme."

While it was inevitable that Hibari would push his abilities to their limits, he still couldn't reach that level right now.

Tsuna had seen Hibari's talent a long time ago, and he had already recognized it.

But talent is talent.

What this world has no shortage of is not people with talent, but people who can turn their talent into their own power.

If Hibari's mental fortitude could be enhanced ten years later, then improving his strength now wouldn't be so difficult.

Everything will fall into place naturally.

However, all of this is just Tsuna's daydream, and such an idea is definitely impossible to realize.

Having seen the future of Lark, I also have some expectations for his future now.

Wow, Tsuna thinks so highly of Hibari.

This was the highest praise Yamamoto had ever heard from Tsuna.

"Yamamoto, do you think I have a very high opinion of Hibari?"

[Tsuna, did you realize you were overestimating Hibari?]

Yamamoto nodded.

"It is a bit high."

"Besides, Tsuna, you actually planned to teach Hibari from the very beginning, didn't you?"

Yamamoto had already sensed something beforehand, and Tsuna chose to let Hibari's behavior go unchecked.

At the time, this kind of laissez-faire attitude didn't seem like a big problem, but now it looks like it was deliberately putting Hibari in those situations and forcing him to change.

Tsunayoshi did not deny Yamamoto's statement.

"I did have that thought, after all, the circumstances we were in at the time limited us from thinking that much."
