Hello guys,

Recently, I've become at a loss on updates. The chapter has been edited over and over, things just can't seem to fit in, and I've lost the ideas on where to bring it all to.

I don't think I'll be continuing this, unless I completely switch it out to a brand new restart (Like maybe the original idea, in which case it'd be short little drabbles or something).

That said, here are some of the things scattered around the fic that I never really got around to addressing, and only did so via some of the PMs with some of you along with various outlines and ideas that would've eventually be put in;

Tsuna never acknowledged his new life's Mother when she was still alive, always addressing her as Maman in his head. In some ways, she noticed, which led to the reason why she writes down her plans of training him. As a kunoichi, it is perhaps one of the ways she could spend time to bond with him properly. Naturally, it never gets there, but the journal does remind him constantly of her efforts and love for him. Eventually, he will stop relating her to 'Maman' and return to her grave to mourn properly.

The term 'Decimo' : He died one moment and was born again the next. Everything's confusing and he cannot do anything. He cannot feel his Famiglia's presence and everything feels like he'd been dumped centuries into the past into some sort of feudal japan. He's lost everything he has ever known and he is now a baby. His current body is unable to keep the majority of what made Tsuna the Decimo he'd become, so he doesn't understand his own discomfort and pain. Sometimes his body burns with the addition of chakra coils, sometimes he 'awakens' and is clarified of the true extent of the situation dumped on him, either way there is plenty of stress and trauma that wraps his mentality up and throws it around crazily. With that, the 'Reborn' voice is born; a voice associated to chaos and order, a voice that would somehow ground him back to reality before he drifts away into eternal depression. As he gradually lets reality sink in, things get a little confused. His chakra isn't sure what the heck is going on, since there's a major Spiritual overload compared to the meager physical, so his body has to adjust and shave off the spiritual part in order for it to continue working. His mental health degrades further, and his mindset shifts unknowingly towards a younger and younger age. Still unable to connect the now and the past, Decimo is born as a way of coping. There is new Tsuna, and then there is Decimo. And then suddenly there is a Pacifier. Which reveals that in this world, the Trinisette is still hanging around. It's kind of like a cheat, or is it? Maybe it was just Tsuna's own will to pretend there is at least one familiar thing in this world. Either way, his mental age reduction stops and the pacifier is never mentioned much again. Tsuna and Decimo never did merge after that, which results in Dame-Tsuna's all natural performance, though accidents were drastically reduced via Decimo's helpful Hyper Instinct jabs.

Later in the chapter outline though, when some thing or the other happens, Decimo is forced to retreat into his mind to sort out the mess. He finds out about the restriction, and a surprise waiting for him. Turns out Mukuro's mind protecting barriers are still hanging around waiting to maul the next intruder into his mind, and a connection is suddenly alive again. He is able to tidy things up, talk to Mukuro's projection that was left to guard his mind, and finally accepts his new reality for real. This allows his mind to calm and he no longer acts as Dame-Tsuna. Instead, he would be the unusually mature (wiseass) Tsuna that, to his surprise, nobody found odd about due to the fact that people are used to the weird antics of Shinobi.

Which leads to;

Kimmimaro; Unintentionally turned into Gokudera Hayato No.2, the poor boy gets mistaken to be the Sky's right hand man during the days when the melancholic attacks Tsuna suffers from gets too much. However, as time goes by and Kimmimaro proves time and again that he is vastly different from the explosive bomber, Tsuna begins to treat him as a real big brother. After Tsuna gives up on pretending to be Dame (Sometimes he still does it for shits and giggles though), he sits the other down and has a long talk with him. No, despite prior thoughts of having a Famiglia, Tsuna doesn't think he should do so in his new life. No, Kimmimaro could never be his Storm, as he would have only one man as his Storm now and always, but Kimmimaro could be his brother, just like how Xanxus eventually became his brother. He trusts him, and explained to the Kaguya about his past life and all. He apologizes for all he has put his brother through, but the other merely smiles and accepts so. However, Tsuna wonders if perhaps Kimmimaro could be somebody else' Storm. It's an idea he thinks about sometimes; That he'd find a Sky, and Tsuna would be like the Outside Advisor or something. Maybe even the Tutor. Or maybe Kimmimaro is a Sky himself. It amuses him, and a goal is set. Unaware of Tsuna's thoughts, Kimmimaro is simple pleased to have his doubts appeased and becomes less like a mother-hen and more like an overbearing sibling. (A fine line between those two status, but one has more to do with worrying about the child while the other does a lot of threatening and blackmailing on anybody looking at his little brother funny.) He also becomes more open and often sends girls swooning with his gentle smiles, and doesn't hesitate to voice out any disagreements he might've had to Tsuna. (It's an open idea as whether or not the others would even have Flames and what type they would have was never planned properly. *nervous laugh*)

Regarding a few reviews that pointed out the conflict between Tsuna's mother's hopes and the stuff that occurs thereafter; Mama Yuki never really held much hope that it would be so, as a Jounin/Kunoichi herself that had trained Mangetsu and seen the horrors that is Kirigakure, nevertheless she maintains that tiny little hope. Of course, it all becomes moot as Tsuna has been through the whole song and dance with not wanting to harm or hurt (Or face any kind of bad/traumatic stuffs) VS protecting his precious people and thus having to go into some pretty crazy training/situations/emotional-breaker stuffs. Of course Tsuna ends up choosing to face things in order to grow. He does feel guilty and apologetic for it, but Kimmimaro would later knock some sense into his head; Mama Yuki would rather he be traumatized and alive then mutilated and dead. Moreover, with his past life's horrors swirling around in his head, that wish was pretty much futile the moment it was made. Sometimes, Mafia-stuff can be worse then whatever the Shinobi-world dishes out, especially with key events where he sits with a Guardian and share a bonding time. (Including; A scene where Mukuro and Tsuna bonds, with Mukuro sharing his morbid experiences with regards to what the Eye he carries has given him in exchange for his powers as well as the experiments from the Estraneo. There may or may not have been some gaying around among the Sky and Mist.)

Why the hell is Danzo here; As the grasp I have on the Naruto timeline is pretty sketchy, I would often seek help in the form of Narutopedia and rewatching particular episodes. I admit it was probably way too sudden, but one of the reveal that Danzo actually would personally recruit clan children was rather interesting and thus employed here. At this moment, where I went by the Anime-verse, it would have been pre-Uchiha Massacre, where Hiruzen is still unaware of ROOT's never-abolished-club and thus had his trust on the sneaky man. He takes advantage of it to go on a recruiting thing. If he manages to bring them and Hiruzen doesn't notice then all is well; +2 ROOT recruits. If Hiruzen notices then whatever, he can have the Kaguya. The other one he'll keep as hostage. After all, as a male, the Kaguya's possible offsprings would be useful enough. Either way it'd take time, and this isn't his main priorities. All done behind the scenes and with subtlety, of course, but mostly he would leave them alone. Whether or not certain key events occur would depend on what Tsuna and Kimmimaro's actions are in the village thereafter. (Is Naruto the Sun or the Sky? , was a thought Tsuna would have.)

Sawada Ieyasu; What in the world is Tsuna's current life's papa doing in the equation? Dundundun, Khr fans would readily recognize that the name is, and that means his father is, the Vongole Famiglia's Primo; Giotto. It's something that bugs Tsuna sometimes, the name Ieyasu and how there's something he'd missed but can't remember yet it's right at the tip of his tongue... As the journal proves that their assumptions of Ieyasu's death might be wrong and kind of super vague, there were a few ideas that he is still hanging around and looking for his son, though the idea is later scrapped. It was still an interesting thought.

Khr Characters; As noted above, yes, Mukuro is a character that would be turning up waaaaay down the line. Nevertheless, it proves that yes, this world had his Famiglia's counterparts running around, though none would recognize him besides Mukuro, the powerful illusionist in his world somehow managing to establish a connection with his counterpart. And of course, a wild Byakuran would turn up as well, with the white haired marshmallow-loving man stalking Tsuna around.

On Pairings/Romance; As Tsuna would be like an old man and feel pretty confused in regards to these, there is a low chance of a pairing occurring, though my headcanon tells me Mukuro and Tsuna forever, I must calm my fujoshiness and smack my fingers away from that path.

On other stuff; Originally, Tsuna was going to open up a food cart, wandering around selling simple foods from around the world (his old life's), international snacks and whatnot, then get into hijinks with the residents of whatever village he's at, with Kimmimaro as his helper and later Mukuro and Byakuran as well. Not sure what happened but suddenly the story went sideways into Huh?What happened?-ville, and then he becomes a Shinobi. Of sorts. Or something. Somehow that part's still unclear. *ahahaha*

So yup.

S-sorry. *kneels on ground in dogeza*
