Part 31 – Revenge or Round Two

The Shirogane Syndicate boardroom was still in absolute chaos. Some were still trapped in the sea of floating balloons, others were laughing uncontrollably at the ridiculous new company motto displayed across every screen.

Meanwhile, outside, Shiro and his team were barely holding in their laughter.

Kaito wiped a tear from his eye. "Bro, this is next-level trolling. I think we broke them."

Shiro smirked. "Broke them? Nah, we just upgraded their personalities. They should thank us."

Just then, Ren's earpiece crackled. "Uh… guys. We may have one tiny problem."

Shiro frowned. "What kind of problem?"

Ren turned to him with a nervous grin. "They found out who did this."

Before Shiro could react, the building's alarms blared, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the halls.

"Sh*t-" Kaito cursed. "They're coming for us!"

Shiro didn't panic. In fact, he grinned even wider. "Oh, they wanna play? Let's give them a chase."

Without hesitation, he grabbed a smoke bomb from his jacket and tossed it behind him.

BOOM!

Thick white smoke filled the corridor.

"RUN!" Shiro yelled, leading the team through the emergency exit. They bolted down the stairs, barely dodging Syndicate guards who were coughing and waving their arms blindly.

By the time the smoke cleared, the Tensai-kai crew was already outside, sprinting toward their getaway bikes.

"Split up!" Shiro ordered as he hopped onto his motorcycle. "Meet at the hideout!"

They peeled out of the parking lot just as the Syndicate members burst outside, furious and still covered in balloons.

One of them shouted, "SHIRO FUJIWARA, YOU'RE DEAD!"

Shiro blew them a kiss before speeding off into the night, laughing the whole way.

Meanwhile, back at the hideout…

The team was catching their breath, still buzzing from the adrenaline rush.

Kaito slumped onto the couch. "Bro, I think that was our craziest stunt yet."

Ren nodded. "Yeah. And now the Shirogane Syndicate wants our heads."

Shiro just smirked and cracked his knuckles. "Let them try. This was just round one."

The room fell silent. Then Kaito groaned. "Oh no… I have a bad feeling about what you're planning next."

Shiro winked. "Oh, you should."

When Payback Gets Out of Hand

It was supposed to be a normal night. Just the gang chilling at their hideout, eating snacks, and talking about their next move.

But then, Shiro had an idea.

A very, very bad idea.

"Alright, boys," he said, putting down his soda can. "Remember how the Shirogane Syndicate messed with us last week?"

Kaito sighed. "Dude, you already got revenge."

Shiro grinned. "Yeah, but not enough."

Ren looked suspicious. "Shiro… what did you do?"

Shiro leaned back, stretching his arms. "Oh, nothing much. Just a little prank."

Just then.

BOOM.

An explosion of colorful confetti filled the air, and the TV screen suddenly switched to a live feed of the Shirogane Syndicate's headquarters.

On the screen, their serious mafia members were running in chaos. Their expensive suits were covered in bright pink paint, their chairs were rigged to launch them into the air, and their boss?

He was stuck in his own office, thanks to superglue on his chair.

"SHIRO FUJIWARA!!!" the Syndicate leader's voice roared through the speakers.

Kaito stared at the screen, mouth open. "Bro… what the hell did you do?!"

Shiro casually took a bite of his chips. "Just a little Tensai-kai signature fun."

Ren facepalmed. "We're so dead."

Meanwhile, back at the Syndicate HQ…

Boss Hajime Kuroda was losing his mind.

"WHO DID THIS?!" he bellowed.

One of his men, completely drenched in neon green slime, raised a shaky hand. "S-Sir… it was Tensai-kai. It was… Shiro Fujiwara."

A deep silence filled the room.

Then, Hajime Kuroda's eye twitched.

"WE'RE GOING TO WAR."

Back at the hideout…

Kaito shook his head. "Shiro… you really don't know when to stop, huh?"

Shiro smirked and tossed the remote aside. "Oh, I know when to stop."

Ren sighed. "When?"

Shiro leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

"When it stops being fun."

The whole team groaned.

And just like that—Tensai-kai vs. Shirogane Syndicate was officially ON.

The Great Mafia Chase

Tensai-kai hideout – Midnight

"Shiro," Kaito whispered urgently. "Wake up!"

Shiro Fujiwara, the mastermind of chaos, groaned and pulled his blanket over his face. "Five more minutes…"

"Bro, wake up, wake up, wake up! We got a problem!" Ren shook him hard.

Shiro sat up, half-asleep. "Huh? Is the snack cabinet empty again?"

Kaito grabbed him by the collar. "No, you idiot! The Shirogane Syndicate is outside!"

BOOM!

The sound of gunfire and angry shouting filled the air.

Shiro blinked. "Oh. Cool. They got here faster than expected."

Ren smacked his forehead. "YOU KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?!"

Shiro stretched, cracking his neck. "Well, duh. I pranked their entire HQ, superglued their boss to his chair, and sent a thousand pizza orders to their address. Of course, they'd come for revenge."

Kaito's eye twitched. "SHIRO!"

"Relax, relax." Shiro grabbed his black hoodie and slid on his fingerless gloves. "Time for plan B."

Ren narrowed his eyes. "What's plan B?"

Shiro grinned. "We run for our lives."

Tensai-kai vs. Shirogane Syndicate – Midnight Chase

The moment they stepped outside, chaos erupted.

"THERE THEY ARE!" one of the Shirogane goons yelled.

"GET THEM!"

Shiro took off running, with Kaito and Ren right behind him. The entire Shirogane Syndicate about fifty men-was chasing after them, some on motorcycles, some on foot, and one guy… on a bicycle?!

Kaito glanced back. "Bro, why is that guy using a bicycle?!"

Shiro cackled mid-run. "I may or may not have stolen all their car keys."

Ren huffed. "SHIRO, I SWEAR."

"Less talking, more running!"

The chase led them through narrow alleys, busy streets, and even a noodle shop.

"Sorry, ma'am!" Shiro shouted as they jumped over a food stall, knocking over bowls of ramen.

"YOU OWE ME 5,000 YEN!" the stall owner yelled.

The three weaved through traffic, dodging motorcycles and pedestrians. Behind them, the Shirogane goons were tripping over each other, slipping on spilled ramen, and crashing into lamp posts.

Shiro was laughing the entire time.

"Man, this is too easy!"

Just then.

A black SUV screeched to a stop right in front of them. The doors swung open, and out stepped…

Hajime Kuroda.

Shirogane Syndicate's leader.

And he looked pissed.

"Shiro Fujiwara," Hajime said darkly, cracking his knuckles.

Shiro grinned. "Ah, Hajime! What a surprise! Did you enjoy the pizza?"

Hajime's vein popped.

"GET THEM!"

The Escape Plan… or Lack of One

Kaito grabbed Shiro. "We are so dead, bro!"

Ren was already looking for an escape route, but they were surrounded.

"Any brilliant ideas, Shiro?!" Ren hissed.

Shiro smirked. "Yeah."

"WHAT?!"

Shiro suddenly pulled out a smoke bomb from his hoodie.

Kaito blinked. "Dude, where did you even get that?!"

Shiro winked. "I come prepared."

He slammed it on the ground.

POOF!

Thick gray smoke covered the entire street.

"AFTER THEM!" Hajime roared.

But by the time the smoke cleared.

Shiro, Kaito, and Ren were gone.

Back at the Hideout…

The trio burst through the door, panting.

Ren collapsed on the couch. "That was insane."

Kaito flopped onto the floor. "I swear, I lost ten years of my life tonight."

Shiro? He was still laughing.

"Did you see their faces?!" he wheezed. "Man, that was the best chase ever!"

Kaito groaned. "Bro, you are actually insane."

Ren sighed. "Hajime is gonna come back even angrier, you know that, right?"

Shiro grinned. "Good. That means more fun."

Kaito and Ren stared at him in horror.

"Bro… please don't."

But Shiro was already planning his next move.

Shiro's Ultimate Prank War Begins

Tensai-kai Hideout – The Next Morning

Kaito was peacefully sipping his morning coffee when.

BOOM!

A loud explosion rocked the entire hideout.

Ren choked on his toast. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

Shiro casually walked in, holding a remote detonator. "Oh, good morning, guys!"

Kaito stared at him. "SHIRO. WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?!"

Shiro grinned. "Remember how Hajime Kuroda was chasing us last night?"

Ren groaned. "Don't tell me."

Shiro cackled. "Oh, I told you I had more fun planned!"

Kaito slammed his mug down. "Shiro, what did you do this time?!"

Shiro leaned back, stretching. "Let's just say… Hajime's car is now pink."

Ren blinked. "Wait. Pink?"

Shiro nodded proudly. "Not just any pink. Glittery neon pink. With Hello Kitty stickers. And a 'Baby on Board' sign."

Kaito and Ren were horrified.

"Shiro…" Kaito whispered. "Hajime Kuroda is the most feared gang leader in the city…"

Shiro shrugged. "And now he's the most fabulous."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Suddenly, gunshots echoed outside.

Ren peered out the window. "Uh… Shiro? Hajime's entire gang is outside."

Shiro took a bite of his pocky stick. "Yup. That was fast."

Kaito smacked his forehead. "We are so dead."

The Great Prank War Begins

Hajime Kuroda stormed into the hideout, looking absolutely murderous.

His entire outfit was covered in pink glitter. His shoes were mismatched. And his car, parked outside, was glowing neon pink under the sunlight.

"SHIRO FUJIWARA!!!" Hajime roared.

Shiro grinned innocently. "Ohayou, Hajime! Love the new look!"

Hajime's vein popped. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!"

Shiro tapped his chin. "Hmm… Let's see… Oh! I also hacked your phone and changed your ringtone to 'Barbie Girl.'"

Hajime froze. Slowly, he took out his phone.

The moment he pressed a button.

"I'M A BARBIE GIRL, IN A BARBIE WOOOORLLLD."

The entire gang stood in awkward silence.

Kaito and Ren burst into laughter.

Even some of Hajime's own men were snickering.

Hajime turned bright red. "SHIROOOOO!!!"

Shiro smirked. "Yes, Hime-chan?"

That was the final straw.

"GET HIM!!!"

The Escape Plan… Again

Shiro took off running.

"NOT AGAIN!" Kaito groaned as he and Ren ran after him.

The entire gang chased them through the city.

Shiro parkoured over fences.

Ren dodged flying chairs.

Kaito accidentally knocked over a street vendor.

"MY FRUITS!" the old man yelled.

"Sorry, ojii-san!"

Shiro cackled the whole way.

But just as Hajime grabbed Shiro by the collar.

Shiro pressed another button on his phone.

BOOM!

Hajime's entire HQ exploded… with glitter bombs.

Pink, blue, and rainbow glitter rained from the sky, covering everyone.

The entire city stopped to stare.

Hajime trembled with rage. "Shiro…"

Shiro grinned. "Round two goes to me."

Back at the Hideout…

Ren collapsed onto the couch. "Shiro, you officially have a death wish."

Kaito shook his head. "Hajime is going to kill us."

Shiro bit into another pocky. "Nah. He's too busy scrubbing glitter off his face."

Ren groaned. "I give up."

Kaito sighed. "I need another coffee."

Shiro just smirked. "This war… is just beginning."
