Daily Life Arc

We first meet Hibari when Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto are looking, prompted by Reborn, for a good "base of operations" for their growing mafia family. Reborn, that tricky little baby, suggests the reception room, as it is often empty. The gullible group falls for his trick and enter the room to find Hibari sitting on the desk before them.

Naturally, he proceeds to beat them up. It was part of Reborn's plan to introduce them to a potential family member. Hibari, on the other hand, is interested only in the baby who blocked his attack. Throughout the Daily Life Arc, Hibari randomly appears in several competitions in order to meet with Reborn again. This is when he begins to notice Tsuna - and his ability to be either incredibly strong or incredibly weak. It confuses him, but he'd rather fight Reborn than figure it out.

At some point, Tsuna and co. want to go see the cherry blossoms, but the park has been cleared out by Hibari, who despises crowds but wishes to view the cherry blossoms. This prompts a fight between him and the group until Dr. Shamal infects Hibari with the Sakura-kura disease, which makes Hibari immobile when he sees cherry blossoms. Kusakabe takes his boss away. This encounter becomes key in the next arc, the Kokuyo Arc, when things start to get serious.
