Reborn in fact, did not send a letter to Nono, instead he called the boss on a Leon phone since it would save a lot of time. He'd made sure to address both the Vindice situation and how Vongola was doing now that Xanxus was being introduced to the role of being a mafia boss. It had actually been mildly surprising that Nono had also been unaware of the Vindice's nature and the old man had assured Reborn that he'd contact the Vindice.

The news he got about Xanxus on the other hand was actually mildly surprising, there'd been little to no opposition when it'd been declared that the wrath flame user would be the next boss. Xanxus had been raised by Nono himself and actually had the bloodline to pull it off, so the wrath flame user had ended up being a more appealing candidate than Tsuna. The old man hadn't even been required to inform anyone about Tsuna's sky arcobaleno status. With Xanxus' experience with the Varia, the wrath user was shaping well to be the next Vongola boss.

Though the same couldn't be said about the CEDEF unfortunately, Iemitsu had thrown a huge fit and had mucked up a lot before he was finally able to be disposed of. Lal Mirch, one of his fellow arcobaleno apparently wanted to meet who her next boss would be. Unfortunately she was too busy fixing up all of Iemitsu's screw ups to even leave the base outside of work trips. Reborn had been surprisingly grateful for Iemitsu's incompetence, he didn't want another arcobaleno hanging around Tsuna, Fon was enough as it was. At least Nono hadn't informed her that Tsuna was the sky arcobaleno.

'Tsuna will be happy to know that his useful father is dead'

Once the call was over, Leon shifted into his trademark chameleon form and curled up atop his fedora. The news about Iemitsu had been very pleasing, though it also meant that Tsuna would have to claim the spot sooner than initially anticipated. It didn't look good when there wasn't a proper boss in place. The hitman had thought that the idiot would have at least been kept around for appearances sake while Lal pulled the strings in the background. Reborn frowned, inner flame coiling uneasily. As talented as his sky was, Tsuna wasn't ready.

'At least it's acceptable for placeholders to stick around for a few months before it starts to look bad... If worse comes to worst, Tsuna could mainly be a figurehead in name only until he was ready'

The thought left a foul taste in his mouth, his sky was worth more than just being a figurehead. It was a frustrating thought, though a lot better than just throwing Tsuna into the deep end. The sun arcobaleno had faith in his sky's abilities, he knew that Tsuna wouldn't crash and burn if put into the role. His sky would just be stretched thin, especially when it came to his health.

'I should go and check up on Tsuna to make sure he didn't try anything stupid again'

His sky had been pale and tired looking as he'd left to do some mild flame training an hour ago. Normally the training lasted many hours, but with how Tsuna was before he'd left, the hitman felt like he should check on him.

Mukuro scowled, he'd been met with another dead lead. The mist quickly dissolved the possession, leaving a path in case he needed to take control of this person again one day. He had many connections, those under his control have been subtly slicing both random and intended people with fragments of his trident. His web had grown more complex recently, mainly due to Tsuna's declining health. The only one who he always kept a full connection with was Tsuna. The others were less than even an echo in his mind, only truly palpable when he looked into or took over one.

'How can one man be so elusive? Surely there's got to be someone who knows more than we do...'

The mist quickly took over the next person who had a possible lead, he didn't know their name, or even what they actually looked like. He only knew that they'd been looking into the world's strongest infants. Mukuro felt himself grimace as he forcefully made his way into his current body's memories. Please let this person know something, forcing his way into memories was exhausting. He searched, tugging at strands that included key words, viewing things as he went. It didn't take long for him to snap away, annoyed. How had the perverted doctor managed to get tangled in his web? What he'd learned was nothing good.

'He's researching and working on helping Tsu-chan...'

Bile rose in the back of his throat before he quelled it, the simulations had been horrible. Faintly reminiscent of Estraneo's work if one were to replace whole human test subjects with samples willingly given, simulations, and mice, lots and lots of dead mice.

'I'll just have him cut others passively, I shouldn't interrupt his research...'

The doctor would surely come into contact with many high ranking mafioso.

"You're done for the day" Reborn sighed as he took in Tsuna's appearance, the teen was laying in the grass panting, covered in sweat and dirt.

'His vampire blood really makes him sturdy, Luce couldn't do half of what he could after being cursed... Even so, Tsuna's reached his limit'

"Yeah" Tsuna's reply was breathy "I have no arguments with that" He agreed, feeling both exhausted and somewhat irritated. He'd barely been able to make any flames, he'd spent more time laying around than training.

"You shouldn't have even been working with flames today Dame-Tsuna" Reborn scolded, taking note of the other's frustration "Now that you know that rushing won't work, you're taking the rest of today and tomorrow off" Before Tsuna had the chance to argue the hitman continued "Instead I'll teach you about mafia formalities and about more about the desk work since Iemitsu had to be put down"

'He'll still be productive at least'

Tsuna grimaced "Please don't tell me that I'm going to go to Italy anytime soon" He still didn't want to be a boss.

"Not yet" Reborn's answer didn't give Tsuna much confidence.

Me: Checkerface is elusive as usual... Will he be found before he wants to be found?
