14 - Hunting Field (1)

Karou went out to meet his grandfather before he left, he found him going through various documents, he was stuck in piles and piles of documents. As soon as he saw Karou he left everything aside, Karou left two clones to help him, but after training for so long his chakra ended, leaving Falcon alone.

- How's business going? - Asked Karou.

- they are doing very well, thanks to the fact that we sold the elders outside the clan, they don't even imagine that we are the owners of the sale of minerals, there was no problem, we have customers from all the city's blacksmiths, the clans are starting to buy from us, the growth is getting more and more exponential. Our profits are going up, but there has been a lack of security as we are hiring outsiders. There are several other problems ...

- I understand, I will leave for the hunting ground to increase my combat experience and increase my Chakra reserves, I believe that on my return I will be able to handle everything alone.

Karou wanted to master the Shadow Clone Multi Jutsu as quickly as possible, but he needed Chakra, too much Chakra, when he mastered it he could have hundreds of his clones dealing with everything.

- I'm leaving. - Karou believed to be so strong at this moment when someone in the Fighter's Degree, but could not test it being only within the Clan, he wanted to go out and defeat the beasts.

- I take care of everything, I will try to keep everything on track until your return. When you return, you will receive the entire clan on your domain.

Karou said goodbye to his grandfather and left, he went away in hiding and for the first time saw his own city alone, nobody in this city knew him, his clan was decadent, but he was close to the city center.

As one of the largest cities in the Crimson Kingdom everything was great, Karou was happy walking through the streets, they were very busy and all paved, there were peasants and servants walking quietly, members of strong Clans walked free with their heads held high.

Karou continued his peaceful path, around a corner he had the first encounter of his life with a beast, his body emanated alive chakra, he was over three meters tall with about five meters from head to back, an incredible mane flaming.

Karou recognized this scorching Ghost Lion beast.

A Demon-level beast, its strength could reach even from a Captain, the vera seemed calm, its heat burned Karou's skin.

- Sorry about that. - One of the men who took the beast said. - Don't worry, she won't hurt you, she's completely tamed.

This man was incredible, he was mounted on the beast, he even had a Chakra cloak, something very rare to see, even burning the beast did not hurt him.

Out of curiosity Karou put his hand forward and tried to touch it, but the hand went through the lion's body, inside there was scorching heat that burned his hand a little. Soon he withdrew his hand and gave the man the way through.

- Goodbye young man, if you continue to follow as strong as it is in a few years you may have a beast at this level. - Said the man continuing his way.

The man had read Karou and knew all the strength he possessed, it was a remarkable encounter for Karou.

- Lord Flame, continue on your way, we must meet with the city lord before returning to the empire. - Said one of this man's companions.

- Of course, I just found someone who looks interesting, come on, goodbye boy. - Said the man laughing and leaving on top of the lion

"A lord of the empire ..." Karou was ecstatic to meet this man, with a cloak of chakra the man should be close to the highest level of Overlord, he could kill Karou with just a slap.

There were hundreds of Kingdoms, but only 13 empires across the continent, all ruled by beings who were beyond measure, who have long since surpassed the level of overlord, they could no longer be classified, a lord from some empire could destroy one Kingdom whenever he wanted.

Karou knew what he wanted to achieve, so he continued on his way through the city, there were no more problems, soon he left the city, this city had no defense walls because it is close to the wall, and walls are useless against any warrior or wizard above the level of Grandmaster, only walls made with special sealing jutsus are useful.

Soon he arrived at the hunting ground, the hunting ground was a huge area, almost the same size as the city, there was a large concentration of mana in this place, where the appearance of beasts was prone.

This place was surrounded by powerful Warriors who prevented the beasts from leaving, they said that in the center of the forest there was a Dragon Level Beast, but it was indomitable, so the King decided to make a deal, leaving it free inside the hunting area, she could do anything in there, but I couldn't attack humans outside.

The green leaf city was prosperous thanks to that field. Looking outside, the field was just a very deep forest, but it was surrounded by strong Genjutsu, plus some space-time jutsu.

The hunting ground was also known as the Death Lottery, you could discover the greatest treasures and change your life completely, but if you were unlucky ... you would never find your body.

Karou looked at the deep forest, took his path and entered the shallow part of a very busy path, on the outside the forest was the same size as the city, but on the inside it looked like another world.

Karou took a step back out of the illusion, he then activated his sharingan, his eyes then unveiled the illusion ... The hunting ground was simply another artificial dimension.

A ninja capable of creating such a thing had already far surpassed the power of an overlord.

- Let's go ahead!

Karou took the first step in his goal of becoming a stronger one, he would only leave the forest of the beasts after having enough strength to face sunflower and become the patriarch.
