28 - Shanty towns

As soon as Karou entered the slums, he smelled that smell ... it could only be described as the smell of poverty, the smell of the degradation of the human race, the smell of hunger, loneliness, pain and prejudice. If one day a superior race wanted to know what was the worst thing that humanity could do with each other, it was just showing them a place like this, where they just throw everything that is "rest" of this bad food to people.

In the ancient world of Karou, the favelas after a long time became something habitable, so it could no longer be called a favela, so they decided to name it as a community or suburb, they were right.

Favela was what Karou was seeing in front of him.

People huddled together, it was not known whether they were alive or dead, dying, garbage everywhere, human waste, starving children, women prostituting themselves in what could be called open sewage.

The stench in the air could cause nausea to the strongest of men, yet children walked around quietly while begging, that was one of the best definitions of society. In a society, social differences were common, there was the top of the pyramid and the base, this place was the base of the base. A real underworld.

Karou lived in a "Favela" when he was still on the land, but in this favela there was basic sanitation, there was light, there was even internet. Even though it was a humble apartment, it was still an apartment with minimal security.

Karou imagined that even in the wild there would be more security than this place.

Karou came to this place with a single objective, he was not a defender of human rights, he had empathy, even wanting to help and even being able, he would need to give up his life and goals to change this place and help all people, even so it would not be enough, in a society there would always be a place like this.

After all Karou had something that every human being has, selfishness, Karou had dreams and wants, he wanted luxuries and who would blame him for wanting this? Everyone in the world has desires. There was a very interesting saying that Karou heard from a dying man in his childhood.

Lucifer is the embodiment of human desire, desire is what moves humans, humans worship desires, lucifer then worship humans. In the end, desires don't really exist, it's just humans being their own nature, chasing demons of lucifer.

Karou was no different, but between being a persecuting demon, Karou preferred to be the lucifer himself, this was Karou's only ultimate goal, to fulfill all his desires and succumb to pure ecstasy.

To fulfill his wishes Karou needed strength, to have strength he needed support, he needed soldiers ready to be his spear and sword. That is what Karou came to look for in the favelas, people who were never tested, his talents unknown.

Karou came looking for pearls among the pigs, Karou came looking for people for his clan. As soon as the Karou Clone entered Activated his Sharingan, every time he passed and saw someone's suffering the clone just ignored him, Karou had a ninja way, he would defend those close to him and fight those who threatened him.

Soon deep in the slum Karou saw the first light in this darkness, a boy sitting alone, he must have been 17 years old, he was older than Karou, beside him a decomposing body of a woman. Probably your mother.

The boy had a talent far above the average, he was nothing compared to Karou, but normal people he was a genius. Karou got close to the boy who got scared and jumped back.

- Calm down, I am sent from the city, you have a good talent, if you want to completely change your life come to the city and go to the base of the blue Jade Clan, they will welcome you ... - Karou spoke calmly handing a paper to the young. - Show this to any guard, he will let you in.

Karou left the paper on the floor and left slowly, then he continued on his way through the favelas, the situation of people who for fear were already beginning to act like animals was sad. Karou continued his recruitment. He chose the slums to get servants because most would not charge. They don't have any records so no one would know where they came from.

There was no chance that they would be spies for the Great Clans or the elders, and if they saw Karou as their savior, the man who lifted them out of poverty, the chances of betrayal would decrease even more. Karou had a strange and evil wisdom.

After a long time walking through the slums Karou ended up having a better view of the place, not everything was dark and sad. Some things still gave him hope. Karou found a young man with great talent, the boy was already almost becoming an apprentice naturally.

The boy came running with a bag of old bread, but he had the biggest smile in the world as if he had won the lottery, he passed through a street and started sharing the bread with every child he met. Soon the bread ran out and the young man ran back from where he came, probably went to get other food.

Karou of course did not fail to hand him a paper, Karou would not help these people on his own, but he also decided not to do anything, when he finished everything he would invest in the creation of an institution to help the poor.

"Even Lucifer was an angel, isn't he? "Karou thought to himself alone.

Soon he entered a dark alley inside the slum. So he captured several presences, he had already felt those presences of the one who entered the favelas, it was probably the bad thing that happened when creating a favela. Bandits ... in the worst sense of the word, not a specimen of Robin Wood, just a good old group of bandits.

- Pass everything you have of value kid!

Karou would show what the second part of his ninja way was for, threats will be destroyed.
