Reborn's former student comes to Japan to visit Tsuna; Dino teaches Tsuna what it means to be a Mafia leader.

Tsuna is suddenly stricken with an embarrassing disease. Unfortunately for Tsuna, the only person who can cure it is a doctor who does not like to treat men.

Lambo is given a simple task of giving Tsuna his lunch by Tsuna's mother, but when he bumps into I-pin, who was carrying a box of nitroglycerin, a mix up causes things turn for the worse.

Tsuna is faced with a dilemma when Haru and Kyoko eat a Gyoza bun that proves fatal to normal people. Even worse, there is only one antidote available.

Reborn strengthens the abilities of Gokudera and Yamamoto through specially made "training programs", which appears to be more than an exercise course. When he discovers that Reborn and Tsuna seem to be paying more attention to Yamamoto, however, Gokudera feels left out.

It's New Years and Tsuna and his 'family' has to battle the Chiavorone Family in a traditional Vongola event. Although, the losing family has to pay a price of 100,000,000 Yen.

One by one, students at Namimori High are being targeted by an unknown gang. It seems that some of those targets are some of Tsuna's friends, and he has to stop the unknown gang before they attack his friends.

After a quick battle between Bianchi and M.M., Haru and Kyoko have been targeted by the serial killer twins Jiji and Didi under Birds' order. Threatening to kill off the girls, Birds plays with Tsuna and his friends, commanding them to beat Tsuna up.

With Tsuna running after Futa, the others are left to deal with the one claiming to be Mukuro himself. He proves to be too much for them in the state they are in, so all hope lies with Tsuna coming back in time. However, even if he does, there is only one Dying Will Bullet left.

With the reveal that their foe wasn't the real Mukuro, everyone breaks into the Kokuyo Middle School building to face the true mastermind. With no Dying Will, Gokudera having to fend off both Chikusa and Ken, and everyone else unconscious, all hope looks lost, but one of Mukuro's captives my prove to be the ace in the hole.

Even after his apparent death, Mukuro still isn't finished as he possesses the bodies of everyone his hit with his trident. There seems to be no way for Tsuna to win with everyone under Mukuro's control and no Dying Will, when Reborn's pet Leon gives off a strange glow.

With the new Rebuke Bullet, Tsuna has reached a new level of power, but it still may not be possible to defeat Mukuro, who still has not revealed his strongest form.

After the defeat of Mukuro, life goes on normally and Tsuna and his friends all move up a grade at school. However, none of them are in the same class, so Reborn offers them a challenge to catch him, with the prize being a change of the roster. Later, they celebrate at a sushi restaurant owned by Yamamoto's father only to find they do not have enough money to pay for their food and have to work off their debt.
