Tsuna Sawada's Death?

"What? Idiot Kensei used Bankai?" The first to arrive was undoubtedly Kuna Hak, the fastest runner among them. She Flash Stepped to Hirako's side and snarked.

"Baldy, is he an enemy?" The rude one was Sarugaki Hiyori, a blonde girl who had already gripped the Zanpakuto on her back, ready to support Muguruma Kensei at any moment.

"Hiyori, Hirako hasn't made a move yet." The speaker was Yadomaru Lisa, an older woman in a sailor uniform with braided hair. Calm as ever, she could tell at a glance that Hirako was merely watching the show.

"Attacking a child isn't very gentlemanly, you know." The one making the jab was Hōjōrō Jūshirō, a man with long, wavy golden hair dressed like a British gentleman of noble birth.

"Rose, that level of spiritual pressure doesn't belong to an ordinary child." The one who said this was Aikawa Love, an afro-haired middle-aged man in a tracksuit. Rose was what they called Hōjōrō Jūshirō.

"Long time no see, Lord Kukaku Shiba." Completely unlike the others was Hachigen Ushōda. Back in Soul Society, he had been the deputy chief of the Kido Corps, so he immediately greeted Kukaku Shiba, the former chief of Kido.

The focus returned to Muguruma Kensei. After using Bankai, he held a serrated fist blade in each hand. Gray treads wrapped around his arms, extending to his shoulders and becoming ribbons that connected behind his back. Protruding armor covered his back as well. This was Muguruma Kensei's Bankai, Tekken - Danpū.

"Hmm, how strong should he be now?"

Kensei's ears twitched. He heard Tsuna muttering to himself. Although he did not understand what Tsuna meant, he could clearly tell that "Muguruma" was not a flattering term. Combined with Tsuna's mention of Hollowfication, every word was practically dancing across Kensei's nerves.

"Kid, don't die!"

Kensei still gave him a kind warning. Then, with a Flash Step, he appeared before Tsuna and drove a punch toward his abdomen. One punch was all it would take to bring this arrogant brat down. Muguruma Kensei had that confidence.

Muguruma Kensei's Bankai, Tekken - Danpū, could pour explosive power like a raging gale into an enemy's body. As long as he wished it, that explosive force could be continuously injected along with his fists, causing detonative damage inside the enemy.

That was why Muguruma Kensei was confident that one punch could injure Tsuna's internal organs. Ordinarily, such a dangerous Bankai should not be used against someone who was not a confirmed enemy, but Tsuna had kept provoking him with his words!

It's over. That thought inevitably surfaced in the minds of everyone watching. Even Hiyori shut her eyes, unable to bear the sight of this outsider, who was about her age, exploding apart. Even Hachigen Ushōda had prepared to use healing Kido.

Among them, only Kukaku Shiba remained calm. He was one of the people who had witnessed Sawada Tsunayoshi's true strength. Tsuna had long since mastered something like Bankai.

Just as Kensei's iron fist was about to strike Tsuna, a calm voice entered his ears. "Bankai."

"Shatter adversity, illuminate the earth, Sun..."

Intense yellow Sun Attribute flames immediately engulfed both Tsuna and Kensei as the Bankai was unleashed. Within the flames, Kensei's hand was stopped by a red boxing glove.

Kensei looked up. His opponent had changed after releasing Bankai. The red full-coverage boxing gloves drew his attention first, but they were not the only change. Golden armor had appeared over Tsuna's forearms, legs, and forehead. Under the impact of the powerful flames, the upper half of Tsuna's Shinigami Uniform had vanished, revealing his lean, muscular body.

What Kensei failed to notice was the armlet on Tsuna's left arm. Ten small torch rings were arranged across it, and at its center was the symbol of Vongola VG.

This was Tsuna's Sun Attribute Bankai, the Vongola Gear Sun Armlet Ver.X.

"Bankai? Now this is more like it!"

Kensei did not feel any regret over having his punch blocked. Instead, he laughed. Tsuna in this Bankai form looked just like a boxer from the World of the Living. Only someone like that was worthy of facing his Tekken - Danpū.

Kensei took a small step back, stretching and gathering power. Then his fists flew wildly toward Tsuna. Tsuna did not simply surrender either. His own fists danced at incredible speed, colliding with Kensei's iron fists.

The two fought faster and faster. Gradually, Kensei realized that he seemed unable to keep up with Tsuna's speed. This was part of Tsuna's Bankai's power: the Super Activation of Sun Attribute flames. A super-activated body could unleash terrifying strength and speed.

This was Extreme Combo!

Kensei had no idea what Tsuna's Bankai ability was, but he still forced himself to keep up with Tsuna's speed. Wherever he could not keep up, he used the treads around his arms to block. Even while taking hits, Kensei did not forget to taunt Tsuna.

"Stop, kid! Your fists can't possibly be stronger than mine!" Kensei shouted with a grin.

Tsuna was just about to respond when a surge of blood rushed up from his abdomen. He forcibly suppressed the pain inside his body, but a trickle of blood still ran from the corner of his mouth.

"Kid, my Tekken - Danpū can store explosive power inside your body. I've already accumulated terrifying energy within you. Whenever I want, you could explode at any moment!" Kensei roared. "You've already lost, kid!"

Tsuna suppressed the pain in his abdomen and shot back, "Do you all enjoy sharing intelligence with your enemies that much?"

"Kid!" Tsuna's answer wiped the smile from Kensei's face. "Then I'll finish you with one punch!"

At this point, Kensei had become heated from the fight. He had completely forgotten his earlier reluctance to use Bankai. Now, he only wanted to defeat Tsuna with his full power.

Kensei endured Tsuna's rain-like barrage of punches and forcibly landed a heavy punch on Tsuna's abdomen. The instant his fist touched Tsuna's body, Kensei detonated the explosive force accumulated inside him.

Boom!

Violent, intense spiritual pressure exploded inside Tsuna's body. Before everyone's shocked eyes, Tsuna's body was blasted straight through. Blood sprayed from his body in great sheets, and a hole the size of a plate appeared in his abdomen.

"This is bad, Hachi, save him!" Hirako reacted immediately, calling the Visored into action. "Rose, pull Kensei away!"

"That baldy went too far!" Hiyori grabbed her slipper and rushed toward Kensei, intending to knock the battle-crazed Kensei awake with it.

"Idiot, someone died." Kuna Hak snarked, though she was not slow to act either. She had already prepared to kick Kensei away with a Leo Kick.

Unlike Hiyori and Kuna Hak, the other Visored did not have the mood to trade jabs in such an emergency. They all sprang into action.

"Please wait. The battle isn't over yet."

Unexpectedly, the one who stopped the Visored was Kukaku Shiba, who had arrived together with Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Tessai, if we wait any longer, that kid will be cold!" Hirako said indignantly. If Tsuna had not been able to clearly say his name, he would not have cared in the slightest whether Tsuna lived or died.

During that brief moment, Hirako Shinji had already figured things out. If Urahara had told Tsuna about him, Tsuna could not possibly have pronounced his name backward. That was Hirako's own personal quirk. There was no reason for Urahara to give Tsuna such detailed yet useless information.

That was why Hirako had decided to save Tsuna, only for Kukaku Shiba to stop him.

Kukaku Shiba did not explain further. The reason he had stopped the Visored was simply because he did not want them to be caught in Sawada Tsunayoshi's attack.

Kukaku Shiba stared at Tsuna's blazing armlet, which burned like the sun. All ten torches on it had been lit. When he had trained Sawada Tsunayoshi in Bankai before, Tsuna had deliberately found excuses to get hurt, only to unleash an unexpected attack in the end.

"What? Can't keep going already?"

Kensei still showed no mercy with his words, but he was already beginning to regret it inside. He had hit too hard. A wound through which one could see the scenery behind someone was a grievous injury on anyone.

"Defend."

Kensei practically suspected that he had misheard. This heavily injured brat in front of him had just told him to defend? Was this some kind of joke?

Just as Kensei was about to retort, he suddenly felt a terrifying spiritual pressure emerge from the badly wounded brat before him. More precisely, it was appearing around Tsuna's fist.

Such terrifying spiritual pressure had gathered in that tiny fist. What kind of horrifying attack would it be?

Kensei had no time to think. Dazzling light immediately enveloped Tsuna's right fist, and his boxing glove shone with a brilliance like the sun.

Defend? How was he supposed to defend?

Kensei only had time to cross his arms before his chest before Tsuna's fist landed on his forearms. Amid the violent spiritual pressure came two faint cracking sounds.

Sunlight Counter!

The terrifying spiritual pressure Kensei felt landed fully upon him. There was no way to resist it. Kensei was sent flying by the dazzling blaze, vanishing from sight in an instant.

Boom!!!

From deep within the warehouse came a series of violent echoes. Hachigen Ushōda's expression changed immediately. The barrier—his barrier here had actually been damaged!

Hachigen Ushōda hurriedly formed hand seals with both hands, intending to use barrier Kido to repair it. However, someone moved even faster: Kukaku Shiba, who had been prepared all along. The moment he saw Tsuna's armlet, glowing like a perfect sun, Tessai had made his preparations.

With Tessai's barrier Kido reinforcement, the warehouse's shaking seemed to stop. Hachigen Ushōda let out a breath of relief. For some reason, he felt that Kukaku Shiba had come here specifically to reinforce the barrier.

Seeing that the battle was over, Hirako Flash Stepped before Tsuna. "Kid, wasn't that a little too much? This kind of mutually destructive outcome could clearly have been avoided."

"Mutual destruction? Why can't I understand what you mean?" Tsuna straightened his body and raised his head, his face full of smiles.

Hirako Shinji could hardly believe what he was seeing. The plate-sized wound in Tsuna's chest had disappeared at some point. Wisps of white smoke rose from Tsuna's abdomen, and that terrifying penetrating wound had already closed. It looked as though he would recover completely before long.

In other words, there had never been any mutual destruction from the beginning. Sawada Tsunayoshi possessed healing abilities. The only one injured was Muguruma Kensei, who had completely endured Tsuna's attack and had no recovery ability.

(PS: Ryohei's Sun Armlet was too absurd. I could understand trading blood for energy, but I couldn't understand having to take away half your own life before using your ultimate move. It was especially strange because he used the only Sun Flame VG in the entire story with healing abilities, yet it could not heal his own wounds.

In this book, the Sun Armlet has been changed to possess healing abilities. After the protagonist uses Sun Attribute Bankai, he is like a berserker who can trade blood for damage output, while also being able to restore health and save himself. The VG's method of lighting torches through the number of injuries received has also been changed, with different levels of flames being ignited depending on the severity of the damage received.)
