Target 169 Rokudou Mukuro VS Byakuran

-1-

[Chrome's emergency would mean that man's emergency too…]

Chrome: Gahaaa!

Tsuna: Chrome!!

Tsuna: !!

Bianchi: It's useless!!
There's nothing else I can do!!

Tsuna: No way!!
Why!? What's happened!?
Bianchi: She's losing them!!

Bianchi: She's losing her internal organs!!

-2-

Tsuna: (The internal organs made of Mukuro's illusions…? What's going on…?)

Chrome: …sama…
Tsuna: !
Chrome: Muku…

Tsuna: Hang in there, Chrome!!
You can't die!!

Chrome: Bo…ss…?
Tsuna: !!

Tsuna: Yes, it's me!!
You must hold on!!

Chrome: So…
warm…

Chrome: Bo…ss…
Please… Mukuro… sama…

-3-

Tsuna: Eh…?
Mukuro…? What's happened to him?

Chrome: GAHH!!
Tsuna: Chrome!!

Tsuna: (…Mukuro!!
What on earth are you up to!!)

??: *pant*
*pant*

??: *pant*

[The future Mukuro is defeated by the future's greatest threat!!]

Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
Amano Akira

Target 169 Rokudou Mukuro VS Byakuran

-5-

Byakuran: What a terrifying ability, that is…

Mukuro: No wonder they call you… the supreme commander of the Millefiore.
I am not your match.

Byakuran: Once again, you are saying things you do not mean.
You're very cunning, Mukuro-kun.
また心にもないこと言っちゃって。喰えないなぁ骸君

Byakuran: The primary objective of your attack was not victory.
It was to gather data on the abilities I have shrouded in mystery, and bring them back to your back-up forces on the outside, was it not?
君のこの戦いでの最優先の目的は勝つ事じゃない。
謎に包まれていた僕の戦闘データを 外部の他の体（バックアップ）に持ち帰れればそれでよしってとこだろ？

Mukuro: Ohh…
What an interesting theory.
But… is that so?

Byakuran: You won't get what you want.
For that.

-6-

Byakuran: This room is surrounded by a unique barrier which they say, doesn't let any type of thoughts pass through…
let alone electromagnetic waves like light or electrical energy. Can you believe that?
この部屋には特殊な結界が張り巡らされてて、光や電気なんかの波はおろか
思念のたぐいも通さないって言ったら信じてくれる？

Mukuro: Kufufu. What are you talking about?
I cannot understand a word of what you're saying.
クフフフ、何を言っているやら
僕にはさっぱり理解できませんねぇ

Mukuro: (Fuu… It seems that this body has reached its limits too… ……
It's about time I return then…)

Mukuro: I've had a great time here.

Mukuro: !??

Byakuran: You can't unbind yourself from reality to retreat, can you, Mukuro-kun?
Didn't I already say? Everything inside this room is sealed in.
実体化を解いてここからズラかろうとしたってダメだからね骸君。
この部屋は全てが遮断されてるって言ってんじゃん

Mukuro: !
(…This is impossible!!)

Byakuran: You don’t have the Vongola Ring, so I have no interest in you.
It's time for you to receive a true death.

-7-

Byakuran: Bye bye.

Tsuna: C-Chrome!!
Bianchi: Aaah!!

-8-

Tsuna: !

Hibari: Out of the way.

Hibari: If you die, we'll all be in trouble.

-9-

Kusakabe: Sawada-san, please wait outside.

Kusakabe: Chrome Dokuro is out of immediate danger for now.
Tsuna: !!

Tsuna: Really!? That's wonderful!!
Reborn: What did you do pull her through from that condition?

Kusakabe: It's the Vongola Ring.

-10-

Kusakabe: Hibari pressed her to draw out the power of the Vongola Ring, and to live under her own power.
Right now, Chrome is using her own illusions to make up for her missing organs.
雲雀がクロームに促したのは、ボンゴレリングそのものの力を引き出し己の力で生きること
現在クロームは自分の幻覚で、失われた内臓を補ってます

Hayato: Is-is such a thing… possible!?

Kusakabe: However, her present strength is insufficient to complete the illusion…
She's just barely hanging on…
ですが、今の彼女の力では幻覚は不完全… 生命維持がやっとの状態だ…

Tsuna: Uhm… then…
What's happened to Mukuro?

Kusakabe: With regards to Mukuro's movements, I think…
Mr. Sasagawa, who was with the Varia, would know more than us.

Ryouhei: The instructions Mukuro gave to the Varia went only one way, was what I heard.
I trusted the instruction and followed it, but where Mukuro was and what he was up to, I have no idea myself.

Bianchi: If he's broken off all the power he was channeling to Chrome,
we must face the fact that the worst has befallen Mukuro.

-11-

Hayato: Che!
Tsuna: !!
No way!!

Hayato: Boss! That Mukuro is a persistent guy.
We don't know anything yet.

Reborn: In any case, it looks like Chrome won't be joining the battle in 5 days time.

Ryouhei: …This would hurt.

Lal: Don't worry.
I will make up for Chrome.
クロームの不足分はオレが補う

Tsuna: !!
(Lal…)

Reborn: There's no way we can count on you for that.
Right now, you're exhausted just by sitting down.

Everyone: !!

Tsuna: Reborn!!

Lal: What did you say!!

-12-

Reborn: Don't force yourself. I can tell just by looking at your face.
Your body has absorbed too much of the non-7^3 radiation. It's breaking down, isn't it?

Tsuna: !?
(Non-tre-ni-sette…?)

Lal: Shut up!
What do you know?! You came from the past!!

Reborn: I do know. I have experienced enough of the non-7^3 radiation above ground.
I also know of your recklessness in everything you do.

Lal: The ones who are emitting the non-7^3 radiation are the Millefiore!!
If we don't defeat those people, this world will never return to normal!!

Giannini: Uhh~~~ Regarding that…

-13-

Giannini: We haven't been able to identify what is causing the non-7^3 radiation contamination above ground.
While we think the source is most likely the Millefiore,
there's no definite evidence…

Kusakabe: It's the same for us…

Lal: No!!
Those people are responsible!!

Lal: For Colonnello, and Viper, and Skull…
Those people killed all of them!

Lal: Guh!

Lal: Uhh….

-14-

Tsuna: Lal Mirch!!
Kusakabe: Are you all right!?

Lal: Don't fuss over me!!
I can stand!

Ryouhei: Sawada…
Tsuna: !
Ryouhei: In 5 days…

Ryouhei: With all of our fighting power under such terrible conditions, I can guess what you're going to say…
I will go and convey the message to the top to cease battle operations.
これだけ戦力に悪条件がそろっては、おまえが何というか見当がつく…
作戦中止はオレが上に伝えに行こう

Lal: It's just anemia!

Ryouhei: Don't overstrain yourself, Lal…

Tsuna: No…
Let's do it.

-15-

Tsuna: We will go to the enemy's hideout. Not just to return to the past, but…
I think we'd be able to get a lead on Mukuro as well.

Tsuna: And, we might also be able to understand what the non-tre-ni-sette is all about…

Tsuna: …But, I feel that if we take our time for either, we will be too late.

Ryouhei: Hm.

Tsuna: Besides.
I feel that…

-16-

Tsuna: I don't want to prolong the current state of affairs any longer.

Tsuna: For all our friends here in Namimori, of course.
And for Chrome, and Lal Mirch…

Tsuna: Things were not supposed to be like that!!

Tsuna: Uhm…
That is…

Tsuna: That's just what I feel… I mean…
Ryouhei: Well said! You're a man, Sawada!!

Lal: …A brat, more like it.

Tsuna: In any case.

-17-

Tsuna: We only have 5 days left.
Don't waste even a moment of it.

Hayato: Yes, sir!!

Yamamoto: Of course!!

[For his friends… That strong belief is the basis of his growth!!]
