Description:
This story revolves around a boy named Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, who is chosen to become the Vongola
Family's boss due to him being the great-great-great-great grandson of the
first Vongola boss, who had moved to Japan
from Italy
during his time. He is told by Reborn that he will become the tenth (Italian decimo)
Vongola boss. Also, the other candidates for the position of the head of the
Vongola Family have died. For these reasons, Tsuna is the only remaining heir. As such, Timoteo
a.k.a. "Vongola IX", the current head of the family, sends Reborn, an
infant hitman from Italy,
to train Tsuna. Tsuna then unwillingly undergoes training from Reborn. Reborn's
main method of teaching Tsuna is the "Deathperate Bullet", which will
make the person be "reborn" with a stronger self intent on fulfilling
his dying will. Through his experiences, the initially clumsy and
underachieving Tsuna unconsciously becomes stronger and more confident, which
ultimately makes him better suited as the Vongola Family's boss despite
continuing to reject his Mafia inheritance. He also starts making several
friendships such as his crush Kyoko Sasagawa.
Tsuna goes through many predicaments in his
progress of becoming the Vongola boss including fighting against escaped Mafia convicts posing as Kokuyo
Junior High students. Later, The Varia, Vongola assassin squad, claims the
right for their boss, Xanxus to be the true Vongola boss,
and starts a competition with Tsuna to decide who would be the Vongola boss. To
defeat the Varia, Reborn recruits most of Tsuna's schoolmates to become the
Vongola guardians: Hayato Gokudera, an expert on dynamite who
wishes to be his right-hand man, Takeshi Yamamoto,
a baseball player who thinks that the Mafia is a game, Ryohei Sasagawa,
the energetic captain of the school boxing club, and Kyoya Hibari,
the deadly head prefect. Lambo,
a weak infant assassin who came to kill Reborn, and Chrome Dokuro,
a girl who has a mental and physical link with the criminal Mukuro Rokudo,
joins them as well. Later, after defeating the Varia, Tsuna and his friends are
transported to the future where they must face the Millefiore Family, who are
annihilating the Vongola. They also find that all the Arcobaleno are dead
except for Lal Mirch, who was the holder of the currupted Pacifier. As Tsuna
and the Vongola Guardians from his time fight the Millefiore they learn that
Shoichi Irie, a comrade of Tsuna's future self, was the one who sent them to
the future as the future Tsuna said they were the only ones who can defeat the
Millefiore leader Byakuran. It is later revealed that Byakuran has gained
knowledge from parallel worlds and that he wants to obtain all the Mafia rings
in order to obtain a power similar to omniscience.
