Emerging from the shadows close to the land of water, Kaede used her jogan to look around a bit, before

*cough cough*

...before she was interrupted by coughing a bit

'Shit... this is getting worse by the day...' she thought as she sat down by a tree

[Shapeshift]

Kaede's body begun to slowly change, turning a tad bit taller, her hair turning a gradient blue from top to dark blue at the end, her eyes turned sharper and their color changed to purple

two red whisker-like marks appeared on her face and her ear extended, looking like an elf

"Ahhhh, it is good to stop using that form...

now then... Sage, directions please" Rimuru said, taking a male form in the first time in years

<Affirmative

...>

Following [Great sage]'s directions, Rimuru ran through the forest until he was at the start of the land of water, demarked by it's immense amount of water (duh)

-=-

At the same time, the rebels were fighting the Kirigakure ninjas. It was a bloody massacre, but that was something common in Kirigakure after the 4th Mizukage went crazy

"Report" A ninja said kneeling in front of a red haired woman

"Proceed" She answered

"We managed to push the Kiri ninjas back a bit, they started to retreat at a certain point, we are almost sure they are preparing to launch an all out attack"

The ninja said to the woman

"I see, so you finally decided to show yourself Yagura?" The woman said, looking at a specific direction, the direction of Kirigakure

"Send the command! Prepare for the final battle!" She said with conviction

"...Yes!" The ninja at first was stunned, but immediately after he recovered and went deliver the order

"..." Mei's eyes coldly looked towards where she assumed the last battle was going to take place, millions of thoughts kept flowing through her head

-=-

Walking above the water, Rimuru moved as fast as he could, even using [Ruler's authority] to launch himself forwards sometimes

"If I reach the place in time, I may be able to not only evolve, but also get another bijuu... I wonder how the Akatsuki will take having to wait some more years to get Isobu..." Rimuru muttered as he saw land approaching quickly

"I am here" He grinned, as he immediately went towards it

Arriving at the land, Rimuru started to sink into his own shadow

Inside his shadow, he saw Touka and Blizzard reading... a book?... eh, whatever...

*Cough cough*

He coughed a bit, letting some blood stain his hands

"This is getting really annoying...

sigh... I will find the place then" Rimuru complained before slowly rising from the shadows of some tree

"Oh? just in time" He noticed a very large amount of chakra ahead of him

The rebels and Kiri ninjas started to fight, the fight was a literal battle, people died left and right 9n both sides

Rimuru saw Mei melt an entire battalion, kinda strange since she didn't want to cripple her own village to be honest

Yagura was just standing behind his army, not even moving, but Rimuru knew it was because of Obito's control

"That guy loves to make trouble..." He muttered

'Ne, Sage... how many more souls would I need to evolve?'

<Answer

2000>

'Three? how do I have so many already?' Rimuru asked confused

<Answer

5000 souls from Konoha's and Suna's last battle deaths

some souls where absorbed during the time you and Itachi fought, and lastly [Ashborn] attracted some soul when it was acquired>

'Wait... [Ashborn] attracted 3000 souls and you didn't tell me?'

<I was never specified to report about passive soul absorption>

'...bruh'

The fight went on as Rimuru was being toyed around by [Great sage], the total deaths number kept climbing insanely fast

"Yagura! Stop this madness, if you surrender now I can guarantee that you will live!" Mei screamed as she melted some more shinobis

she was very annoyed that she needed to kill Kiri ninjas, she didn't want to, but she couldn't just let them kill her own army, could she?

"..." Yagura, who was nothing more than an empty puppet by now, just stared at Mei with emotionless eyes

"250 remaining..." Rimuru kept count of every people killed, the armies weren't that damaged yet, proving how scary Kiri actually was

After they massacred whole clans like the Kaguya and Yuki, they still had enough ninjas to make TWO whole armies

Because of the difficulty to invade Kiri, if Obito didn't take control over Yagura, maybe Kiri would be fighting for the strongest village spot with Kumo and Konoha...

"100 remaining..." Rimuru counted

Yagura begun to walk towards Mei's position slowly and she obviously noticed it

'What is he trying to do?' She questioned in her mind, but got ready nonetheless

"50..." Rimuru counted down

Yagura begun to be enveloped by red chakra, but didn't rush forwards yet

"Oh no... STOP HIM!" Mei screamed as she begun to prepare her strongest jutsu to stop Yagura from transforming into the sanbi

One of the reasons she offered to keep him alive was because of his perfect jinchurikki status, he was too valuable to Kiri

"3" Rimuru counted down, most ninjas stopped fighting as they noticed their leaders would fight and end it there

"2" Rimuru saw every ninja stop fighting and was quickly annoyed

Using a lot of chakra, that he had basically infinite by now, he threw a kunai at the neck of 2 almost dead ninjas using [Ruler's authority], bringing his soul counter to a solid 10000

{Confirmed. acquisition of the unique skill [Crafty one] ... complete}

(Btw, that is the Voice of the world)

Rimuru didn't care about the skill he got, he was too exited to care

different from Rimuru Tempest, who acquired [Heartless one] because of his heartless actions, Rimuru (The mc) acquired a skill that reflected the fact that he only profited out of other to evolve, as most of the souls he got, were from people dying without him interfering

{Notice.

The necessary human souls for the requirement of evolution has been confirmed

The requirements have been met. From now, Evolution to Demon Lord will begin}

Announced the Voice of the world

Souls and souls danced around the body of Rimuru, good thing no one could see them

Rimuru transformed back into his slime form involuntarily

"Seems like I made it..." Rimuru said as his conscience started to fade, but before it did he sank into his shadow, together with all the souls that circled around him

{Announcement. Individual: Rimuru, began the transformation into Demon Lord

"Harvest Festival" shall now commence. Upon its completion, related monsters shall be blessed with a gift}

The Voice of the world resounded throughout the entire shadow dimension

"As expected of Rimuru-sama!" Touka said excitedly

"Rimuru-sama..." Blizzard said in a very low voice, she hated that even at times like tgis she couldn't express herself properly...

-=-

{Announcement. The transformation into a demon lord, the Harvest Festival has begun.

Body reconstruction has begun, transforming into another species}

{Confirmed.

Race: transforming from Slime into Demon Slime… failure

Attempting another evolution path... nonexistent

creating anew evolution... successful

Successfully evolved from race: slime to slime monarch

All parameters have been greatly increased.

Ability to freely change between material and spiritual body has been added.

Species abilities are [Absorb and dissolve] (Already had) and [Endless Regeneration]

Furthermore, with regards to acquired resistances, new ones have been added…

[Physical Attack Nullification], [Natural Effects Nullification], [Status Change Nullification]

Reconstruction has granted the following skills.

[Demon lord's haki]

Skill [Mangekyou sharingan] evolved into [Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan] (For my convenience, it will be [EMS]

Skill [Jogan] evolved into [Golden Jogan]

(plan to have him get Tenseigan and Rinnegan at the same time, can't just give one rn so bear with it)

Skill [Body clone] evolved into [Perfect clone]

Skill [Black flame] evolved into [Hellflame]

evolution has been completed}

But that wasn't the end of it

Being but a concept of a unique skill, without having any self-awareness, but for the sake of serving its master,[Great Sage] desired to evolve.

{Announcement. Additional evolution shall be attempted.

Attempting to evolve [Great Sage],

…failure.

…attempting again.

…failure.

…attempting again.

for what seemed to be an eternity

…integrating unique skill [Shapeshift]… success.

Unique Skill [Great Sage] has evolved into [Isis, lord of wisdom]}

As if awakening from a long sleep, [Isis] 'looked' around, it was not obvious but being evolved after Rimuru got his name from a manas, his [Great sage] was a tad bit different, albeit not noticeable

Now as [Isis, lord of wisdom] the new skill had created a subtle ego, not that it would notice anyway, but it had begun to awake a 'personality' of some sort...

<...> The skill kept silent, awaiting for its user to awake
