Future Final Battle Arc

Kawahira with his Hell Ring

While the Vongola are on the run from the Millefiore with Yuni, Kawahira tells them to get inside and that he would take care of the Six Funeral Wreaths. He then uses illusions from his Hell Ring to make it look like the street is crowded, though Zakuro stops in front of his shop and searches for the group.

Kawahira creating a fake killer intent

When he is threatened to be burned along with his shop, Kawahira uses his illusions to have Zakuro chase after an invisible "murderous intent." Unfortunately Byakuran comes back from one of the parallel worlds and states that he has found where Kawahira and the Vongola are hiding and sends his Six Funeral Wreaths after them. Although Kawahira has helped them out, he quickly leaves claiming that he has a trip to go to, but not before a suspicious Reborn starts questioning who he is. Kawahira merely shrugs it off and leaves before Reborn could ask him more questions. Reborn still thinks that Kawahira is suspicious and states that he doesn't like him somehow.
