Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Among the Graffiti

Kaito was still the center of attention in the crowd after the fight that had left Renji Kisaragi on the ground. Everyone around him had fallen silent; only the shadows and the cold sound of concrete remained. However, far from celebrating his victory, Kaito was struggling with a question that was constantly beating in his head: Where is his older brother Haruto?

Renji's man approached him from the dark corner of the crowd and continued, making his words more audible.

> "If you're looking for Haruto Yūzora, you're not alone. But everything is more complicated than you think, Kaito... There's a big game behind everything."

Kaito realized the deep meaning in the man's eyes. With each passing second, he was learning that fighting in these streets was not only a battle of strength, but also strategy and patience. He had realized that he couldn't change things on his own. In order to learn the truth behind his older brother's disappearance, he would have to delve deeper into this world. But which gang could he trust? In these gangs that were sometimes friends and sometimes enemies, Kaito's only hope was the eyes of the streets and his own power.

That night, the only thing that echoed in Kaito's mind was the man's last words: "There's a big game."

Kaito left the square silently after the fight. However, there were whispering voices in the crowd he left behind. The first opportunity he came across invited Kaito to join one of Tokyo's most powerful gangs, known as the Warriors' Alliance. This gang was the source of many conflicts and street fights; but surviving here also meant setting up networks and waiting for the right time.

The leader of the alliance was Ryuji Takeda, a man known in Tokyo's underworld. His name was known for ambition and strategy. Ryuji was a leader who led his gang not only by fighting, but also with clever moves. Kaito began to investigate him. If he could establish a relationship with this gang, perhaps he could find some clues to his brother's disappearance. But joining the Alliance also meant serving them and making them feel like a force behind him. Kaito realized that this offer could be a significant turning point in his own journey.

Ryuji's office was located in a secret apartment in the middle of Tokyo, in a high-rise building. Kaito set off towards that office at midnight. At that moment, he had many questions in his mind: How right would it be to make an alliance with Ryuji? Would he be able to move forward without losing his own identity and purpose if he formed an alliance with him?

When he entered the office, Ryuji found Takeda sitting down, deep in thought.

> "Yūzora," Ryuji said, his eyes full of intelligence and menace. "Did you just come to join a gang? Or did you come to learn something about your brother's disappearance?"

Kaito answered resolutely:

> "I want to find my brother. And I can't do it alone. I need the help of someone as strong as you."

Ryuji smiled after a long silence.

> "If you have a place in our alliance, I will inform you. But remember, everything has a price. Your place is at the bottom of the ranks. How high you can go is up to you."

Kaito knew that the closer he got to his brother's secret, the more dangerous a game he was entering. But he had no other choice. In order to rise in Tokyo's underworld, he had to follow the rules of the game.

After accepting Ryuji's offer, Kaito stepped into a dark world as a new member of the Fighters' Alliance. However, no matter how much power he gained, there was an emptiness inside him. His older brother Haruto's disappearance was still Kaito's biggest mystery. The clues he received from Ryuji were dragging him deeper. Every street fight, every gang struggle taught him something; but it also drew him right into the middle of the war.

In Tokyo's sixth district, the rivalry between gangs was increasing day by day. As Kaito joined the fight, he began to strengthen his relationship with Ryuji and learn more. However, a new enemy has emerged: Akira Sato, a former fighter and Haruto's past rival. Akira was a hunter who had been hunting Kaito and was waiting for every opportunity to challenge him.

The winner of this battle in the shadows of Tokyo would not only be strong, but also someone who could choose their friends and enemies wisely. What Kaito would encounter on this path would be shaped over time.

Kaito's warrior journey turns into a young man's struggle to find his own identity in a world full of gangs, fights, and secrets. With the rise of Akira and other enemies, the threats Kaito faces will become increasingly deadly.
