Reborn looks on as Tsuna takes the win, and as Lanchia reveals that Mukuro is really still up ahead.
Mukuro Face-off

He lastly shoots Tsuna at the start of the fight when Xanxus tries to gain a cheap shot before the match starts, and watches as his Family proves victorious in the Sky Battle.
Future Arc
Arrival & The Search for the Strongest
Reborn's true appearance silhouetted
Reborn is the first to be transported to the future and trapped there. It is not yet revealed how he found his way to the Vongola Headquarters, but he is next seen greeting Tsuna and Gokudera as they arrive there with Lal Mirch though has to wear a special suit to keep from being killed by the anti Tri-ni-set radiation that Byakuran is pumping into the atmosphere. The anti Tri-ni-set radiation affects Arcobaleno severely, paralysing their movement and kills them slowly, it does not seem to have an effect on normal people. Reborn reveals to Tsuna that he needs to gather all 7 of his guardians to do battle with Byakuran's forces. Reborn doesn't venture out of the base at all during this plotline due to the radiation. He does however help Tsuna with his training after he returns with Kyoko, Haru, I-Pin, Lambo, and the Yamamoto from 10 years ago by getting Tsuna to realize what his true goals are, which was to "protect everybody", not "to return to the past".
Melone Base Invasion
Reborn appears after Tsuna is captured by Spanner, as a hologram projected by Tsuna's headphones, and witness to Spanner instructing Tsuna on how to use the contacts to perfect his X-Burner. He remains with Tsuna for the rest of the invasion, and gets Giannini to program a holographic distraction during Tsuna's fight with Genkishi. When Shoichi Irie reveals that he is an ally of the Vongola, Reborn believes him, mostly because he answered the questions that Reborn had being thinking about since he was sent to the future.
Arcobaleno Trials
As Tsuna and his Family are sent back to the past, Reborn tells them the few abilities and characteristics of the Arcobaleno. He also remembers that the current Sky Arcobaleno is missing, which may become a predicament for Tsuna in the future trials. He also reminded Tsuna that he is also an Arcobaleno in which he says that he would not hold back during the trial.
During Reborn's Arcobaleno Trial, he informs Tsuna that his Trial was a seven-on-one, all-out battle with him, and that all six of the Guardians, including Lambo, were to participate. He knocks out Tsuna and takes down Hibari, Chrome, Ryohei, Gokudera and Yamamoto. When Tsuna finally comes to, the sleeping Lambo is the only one who was in a good condition. Tsuna at first does not want to fight Reborn, but Reborn tells him that he's still "too soft" and that his fallen comrades are his responsibility. Tsuna finally accepts this and enters the Hyper Dying Will State and fights Reborn. Reborn alowed himself to be beaten into a wall but Tsuna stops as he is about to use his X-Burner and gets shot down by Reborn's Chaos Shot who said "I cannot pass a person not fit to be boss."
He gets captured by Verde, along with all the other Arcobaleno besides Aria, using a variation of Non Tri-Ni-Sette waves, which only paralyzes them, as opposed to outright killing them. After Verde's trial, he was asked for a second chance but he said that it wasn't necessary. They had completed his in the fight with Verde.
Choice
To prepare for "Choice", the war game that Byakuran is making the Vongola Guardians play, Reborn asks Shoichi to explain the rules. While he finds the game tasteless, he has great faith technicians to come up with solutions for the problems they will be facing. One of their solutions, was to make the guardians ride motorbikes for extra mobility. When explaining to Tsuna how to ride, he instructs Tsuna to pop the clutch without Tsuna realizing. Reborn's reasoning is that Tsuna should get the worst parts over first, that is his tutoring method.
When Dino arrives at the Vongola Headquaters and assigns the Guardians their tutors, Reborn assumes the role of "Tutor Fairy", mostly likely only so he can discipline Dino if he makes any mistakes.
Reborn is present during Yamamoto and Hibari joining the group in the moments before Choice begins. He sees them all unleash their Vongola Boxes and generate twice the amount of FVs needed to transport them-a whopping 10 million. He is engulfed in a beam of light along with everyone else present.
He wakes up in the Lightning Field that Tsuna selected, and listens as Byakuran explains the rules of Choice more clearly. Reborn, along with the rest of those chosen to sit out of the first battle, relocate to the Vongola Audience Stalls to watch the battle of Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Shoichi, and Spanner for the Vongola versus Kikyo, Saru, Torikabuto, and Daisy for the Millefiore under the Target Rule.
Later, he protects Uni from Byakuran by shooting him, saying that if he lays a finger on the leader of the Arcobaleno boss, he won't sit there and watch.
