Born of Fire, Ruler of Technology

This is my first ever attempt at a KHR fic, I have till this point been gathering information from the few strong and smart non-Yaoi Tsuna fics I could find and have finally come up with a picture of an OP Tsuna in my head, which i will now attempt to immortalize in digital writing for you all to criticize (politely, I don't care for flamers) or praise to your liking

Multi-flame Tsuna (If Gokudera can do it so can he)

Flame of Night Tsuna

Genius Tech head and Hacker Tsuna

Martial Arts Tsuna

Gary Stu-ish Tsuna (will try my best to not make him an uber troll)

Pretty much does whatever catches interest Tsuna

My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada, I am known by many as a scientist, a warrior, a martial artist, some think me a monster, others a guardian, and with each title came a new name to go with it, but out of all my names and titles, there is one which stands as my favorite, one I had originally given myself when I was still young, the one I think best defines me:

I am Hephaestus, he who rules over fire and technology, and this is my story

It started when I was 4 years old, my father had just come home to visit me and Mama and brought a gift with him, a computer, the first one i'd ever seen, I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Papa, what's that?"

"That Tsu-kun is a computer, would you like me to teach you how to use it?"

"Hai!"

He turned it on and showed his son how to work the mouse and keyboard before his cell phone started ringing

"(click) moshi, moshi"

...

"what!"

...

"I know but.."

...

"(sigh) hai(click)"

"It seems that i have to go now Tsuna"

"Ehhhh, but you said you were gonna show me more stuff"

"Sorry Tuna fish, but something came up at work, don't worry I'm sure you can figure it out you're a really smart kid" he said while ruffling his hair, before turning around and heading off to say goodbye to his wife.

Tsuna simply turned back to the computer, disappointed about his papa leaving again, but determined to figure out all he could about using a computer.

It was supposed to be a simple day of bonding between a father and his son, he was just going to play some simple computer games with him, little did Iemitsu know that it was on this day he changed the course of Tsuna's life.

(2 years later)

It has been 2 years since Tsuna was introduced to the computer and the boy had taken to it like a fish to water, he from that point had taken an interest in technology and science other than just the computer, and had even taken to tinkering with old devices he'd found to make them better, and then there was his new hobby, don't ask how but the child had taken to hacking of all things, and he'd done so with childish glee to the point of considering getting access to secured places undetected a game, of course as he had moved on to foreign systems he had also taken to becoming multilingual, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the boy an impossible genius. though he'd taken to hiding that fact, even from his mother, he wasn't sure why but it was like there was some feeling in the back of his mind telling him to lay low, so he did just that, being known to the hacking community only as Hacker X, he had no idea why but the name seemed right to him for some reason.

At the moment he was currently working on something he had started on a week ago

finding out the true nature of his father's job.

I mean seriously he hadn't seen the man in two years, and a construction worker going on business trips to California?! no he was going to find out exactly what this Vongola construction was all about, the simple fact getting into their system without being noticed is taking him so long even further proved his point, no simple construction company could ever hold off a guy that hacked his way into having blackmail on the Japanese government if he ever needed it in the future...what? he may be six but even he knew his hacking wasn't exactly legal and the last thing he needed on his plate was a Juvy record.

And now his efforts were finally paying off after a week of chiseling his way through their security, outsmarting their detection programs, and dodging their traps he had finally sneaked into their system undetected, and what he found was not what he was expecting.

'MY DAD'S IN THE MAFIA?!'

And not just any mafia either, his father was the second in command of the strongest famiglia in the world, the reason the man was never home was because he was off doing criminal activities. A cold feeling settled in his gut as his teeth clenched and white hot rage bubbled to the surface.

'Da...Iemitsu you complete and utter asshole!'

He couldn't believe this bastard actually left his wife and kid pretty much alone as he went off doing all manner of acts in the name of his famiglia, while forgetting about his actual family, I mean he could have at least told them the truth, or were they just not that important.

Pushing his feelings towards his father to the side he focused on gathering more info on this Vongola Family after all this was the most powerful criminal syndicate in Italy who knows what he might find there.

So with that in mind he continued digging, going through all manner of classified information learning as much as he could until he came across something that caught his attention

'Dying will flames?' opening the file he started reading on the flames, the different types, their abilities, and the more he read the more exited he became and by the time he was finished his genius, his intellect, his maturity beyond his years, all of this went out the window as his 6 year old mind settled on one and only one thought

'SUPER POWERS!'

He stared starry eyed at the screen practically drooling at the thought, he wanted those powers, and he would get them without fail.

But how?

The boy had no access to these dying will bullets or pills that are initially used to unlock the flames until the person was used to them enough they could bring them out at will, and he was 6, he highly doubted he'd find himself in a position that would force him to bring them out. He could try meditation and see how that turned out, if only he knew how to...well it was a better option than nothing.

Looking up more information on meditation he found that it would take some time for him to actually get it down, he was determined to get it down though, and he also saw that it went hand in hand with martial arts which required a blend of body and mind to be skilled at, considering a flame user required a strong body to prevent being strained, the hacker and inventor decided on a new passion.

He would become a martial artist and master his dying will flames

(1 year later)

It had been a year since he had resolved to master his flames, he'd researched various forms of fighting styles he could used seeing as the use of mundane martial arts like karate and judo while dealing with the vicious underworld, as he planned to when he was confident enough of his survival was pure suicide, and with his research deeper into the underworld he had come across something else that had caught his interest

The Arcobaleno

3 in particular

Fon the Ultimate Martial Artist, his goal as a fighter to surpass in the future

Verde the Worlds greatest mind, who's research and technology the techy in him would love to get his hands on

and Mammon(thought I'd say Reborn didn't you) whom he swore to ensnare should he have mist flames

Now after a year of training himself, in both mind and body he was ready to attempt to bring out his flames

Getting into a meditative position he took a deep breath and relaxed, clearing his mind until he'd finally reached a comfortable state. Slowing is breathing he brought out and focused on the things in his life that brought the most, clasping his hands together as if to pray, he delved into the deepest corners of his mind searching for any form of power he could find. Deeper and deeper he went into his own psyche unresponding to the outside world, he was not even sure how long he had been there, though he hoped not long, he had no interest in worrying his mother after all.

After continuous searching and finding nothing he was about to give up, but then he saw, no rather he felt it a light at the end of the void. He reached out to the light before his vision faded to black.

'Where..am I' Tsuna thought as he opened his eyes to an endless sea of white

'Eh? I'm standing on a solid surface?' Indeed even in this place he was standing, and so he began walking, he didn't know how long he walked but he just kept going until he came up to a wall, on the was writing, some form of ancient text that he could not understand, leaning forward to get a better look he reached forward and touched the wall only to jump back as the writing lit up in a blinding shine before changing.

The words had now become a language he could understand, and so he began to read

All living things live by an outline

A single fact that defines them

The rule may vary but the meanings shall always remain the same:

I am the guardian forever guiding those who chose to follow me

A figure wrapped in orange flames appears behind him

I am the sword which destroys all enemies

A being clad in blood red fire now stands next to the first

I am the shield which defends my loved ones

Another man now hidden behind green lightning appears

I am the water which washes away strife

Another figure now coated in blue fire

I am the light which vanquishes the demons that lurk

A yellow fire shrouds the next figure

I am the outsider, forever alone yet always there, looking over those whom have found my heart

Another figure appears now covered in violet fire

I am the deceiver ensnaring all in my web of lies and treachery

Again a figure clad in fire appears this time behind a veil of indigo

I am the embodiment of wrath that annihilates the fools that have earned my ire

And finally the last figure appears burning in vicious black

You, Child of the sky who has inherited the blood of Vongola, CHOOSE!

And with a final flash of light the wall was gone as was the world of white, he again found himself floating in the void, only this time he was not alone.

Surrounding him in a circle were the 8 flame clad figures constantly shifting and moving surrounding him in a circle of multi color fire. And then they all spoke at once

"cHIlLd oF fIRe aNd MAnY FaCes We ArE THe oNeS ThaT EmBODy ThE FLaMeS of YouR WIll, NoW DeCiDE wHich Of US is tHe REal YOU!"

Tsuna nearly laughed at hot simple it was, he was a vongola so obviously he was sky right, but just as he was about to speak he paused, and considered, was it really that easy was it simply decided just because of his blood, he began thinking, deeply contemplating it in a way that most others his age wouldn't be ale to

'Which of them is the real me...the real-THAT'S IT'

"I have the answer, the truth is-"

Well that's all for now folks Thanks for reading
