When Natsume Was Reborn as Tsunayoshi

This story is complete, so that's the end of it for now. Thank you, everyone, for being here. Happy New Year! ※ Written for love. ※ It started with an idea. I wrote it because I wanted to. ※ Natsume is my precious favorite, so I'll do my best to portray one possible version of Natsume Takashi inheriting the Vongola. ※ I used the name Sawada Tsunayoshi because otherwise I'd write him out of character. ※ This is an AU where Natsume is in the events of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If you can't accept this premise, please click X. ※ In my version, Natsume knows kyudo and kendo. ※ The original Tsunayoshi exists in a parallel world. There really is no Tsunayoshi in this world, and everything will be explained in the finale. Reincarnated with Natsume Takashi's memories. Still yearning for the days of "before." Until Reborn arrives and knocks him to his senses, forcing him to face reality and accept this world. / Since he rarely spends time with people, he openly says things that others are too embarrassed to say. This fascinates Takeshi Yamamoto, who has been friends with him since childhood. To everyone's surprise, Sawada Tsunayoshi is the one who passively accepts this friendship. / Kyoko Sasagawa thinks Sawada Tsunayoshi is a very kind boy, so kind it hurts to see. When he's alone, she sometimes feels that if no one looks after him, he'll disappear from this world. His eyes don't seem to look at this world, but whenever he looks at her, she sees herself and this world reflected in them. / [Back then, even though Lambo was in terrible pain, he didn't want to give up. Just like Yamamoto and Gokudera, he wanted to help Tsuna win. He wanted Tsuna to tell him, "You're a fine Guardian, Lambo." But in truth, he knew Tsuna would never say that. Tsuna had never considered him a Guardian. He treated him like a child instead. But now, ten years later, Lambo felt lonely. He wanted to do something for Tsuna too, instead of being left out. He had so much fun with Tsuna protecting him. But... Tsuna wasn't there.] / [Futa touched his chest and suddenly felt so warm, so comforted. His tears were so hot they nearly spilled over. He wanted to stay by this person's side, but he didn't want to cause him trouble. What should he do...?] / ["More than knowing the truth, I don't want to be pushed away like an outsider while you face danger." Yamamoto said the same thing as Tanuma. Looking at Yamamoto's expression, Tsuna suddenly understood that Yamamoto was just as stubborn as Tanuma. He couldn't stop Yamamoto from doing what he wanted. How fortunate he was. In both his lives, his friends had been so kind, so warm and comforting. And that was exactly why he didn't want them to get hurt because of him.] Theme: May the world treat us gently, and may the years pass in peace.
