The Way of the Flame is the 274th chapter of Akira Amano's Katekyō Hitman Reborn!
Synopsis
Tsuna and Ghost's attacks collide, which causes everyone to get slowly sucked in. Tsuna is able to overpower Ghost; however, he feels that something is wrong since his flame should have been strengthened by absorbing Ghost's flame. Just then, Byakuran arrives and seems to be impressed with Tsuna defeating Ghost. He says that his honored to be in their presence and is also impressed that Tsuna was able to get Xanxus and Mukuro to submit to him, even though the two tried to kill him once. Hearing this, Mukuro attacks Byakuran, but Byakuran is unaffected by his feeble attack.
Tsuna decides to fight Byakuran and immediately appears behind him and attacks. He continues to attack Byakuran but Byakuran seems to be unaffected and stops Tsuna's next attack with a single finger. He then attacks Tsuna with his White Finger, which sends Tsuna crashing to the ground. Byakuran then reveals that the flames absorbed by Ghost is transferred to him and laughs maniacally as the final battle begins...
