Time
Such a simple yet complex concept
we all know it's there, but never took notice of it.
time can be slow or fast, it all depends on us, really...
why am I talking about time you ask? because it's time
for what? hehe...

Rimuru finished discussing some details with Konan and Nagato and left after that
Not long after he left, Konan turned to Nagato with a concerned expression
"Are you sure this is the best choice, Nagato?" She asked him, one last time
"..."
He looked from the direction that Rimuru left from to her, and after thinking a bit, he answered
"To be completely honest... no, that's not the best choice"
"Then why?"
"Because it's the only one.
You heard his points, and he is right
Madara or Obito or Tobi, whatever his true name is, he knows this place, he also has one Rinnegan now and I can't risk it"
Looking at Nagato's stressed face, Konan felt rather useless
'Even under such pressure, he still thinks of the best for everyone around him...
sigh... I'll believe your choice, Nagato... I hope it's not the wrong one...' She thought
'... I know it's egoism... but just once... let me put the last thing I have on this world above the rest... forgive me Konan, but I won't let any harm reach you, even if it costs my life to do it, I'll protect you'
Nagato vowed internally

<Skill [Limbo] acquired>
Rimuru hears Ceres's voice as he barely paid attention to the Rinnegan he just absorbed
he just threw the dry eye away, as if it wasn't anything
as soon as the eye hit the ground, however, it immediately was engulfed by something black and disappeared
'All according to the plan' Rimuru smirked as he noticed it, but he pretended to not pay attention and went on his way
'I think I am far enough already... Ceres?'
<At this distance, unless they followed you, they wouldn't know a thing>
'Perfect' Rimuru grinned madly as he basically had just gotten the green light to finish his plan
he immediately disappeared from there
seemingly instantly, but if you could see time and space, you would see their distorted state as he moved around at speeds that could only be described as teleport
...
Soon, Rimuru appeared in the middle of the old Akatsuki base, noticing no one there, he used his shapeshifting to turn into Obito
he entered the base a bit more and found Sasori tinkering some weird puppets there
'Well, let's both get a skill and give a scare to 'god' and his 'angel', hehehe'
He turned his right eye into a Sharingan with Obito's pattern, courtesy of the eye he stole from Kakashi, and the left into a Rinnegan
he stepped closer to Sasori, who was seemingly in a daze, but as soon as he put his feet on the ground
*Sling sling sling*
Dozens of mini puppets on the ground, that at first glance looked like failed attempts of Sasori in making a puppet, shot a few dozen senbons at him, undoubtedly poisoned
Seeing the new puppets and knowing Sasori had barely had any time to make them, made Rimuru grin
'Undoubtedly an ultimate, there is just no way that he doesn't have it now'
<Actually, there is only 99,97203717% chance of him having an ultimate, based on a lot of things, like his current chakra capacity and->
'OKAY, I GET IT'
Seeing 'Obito' there, made Sasori jump back and assume a battle position
"What do you want?" He asked, and at moments like this, his expressionless face came in handy
Rimuru flared his chakra, causing Sasori to look at him in caution and wonder
Either he was about to use some powerful move, or he was trying to attract the attention of every ninja close by, in that case, Konan and that red-haired guy he didn't recognize, maybe even the idiot Rimuru
But Sasori's thoughts got interrupted by a crack on the ground, from where roots came out and wrapped his leg
Jow, that wouldn't be a problem normally, having changed his whole body to that of a puppet, Sasori could detach the leg and make a new one later...
Normally, that is
Rimuru dashed towards Sasori giving him almost no time to dodge
So he did the next better choice: counterattack with more range, trying to force 'Obito' to retreat, but... how could he do so? his senbons passed through his enemy
his puppets also passed through... Kamui was just too op, and to lose to anyone having it just means you are worthless
(Why does it smell like something burning? weird...)
Nagato and Konan arrived just in time to see Sasori being pulled to the Kamui dimension, and 'Obito' just looked at them with his Sharingan and Rinnegan for a second before disappearing as well
*Swirling sounds*
-=-
Inside his dimension, Rimuru who was still transformed into Obito approached Sasori
"What do you want from me?" Sasori asked, trying to buy time to make a plan
because as long as he killed 'Obito' he could turn him into a puppet and leave the dimension with it
but, unfortunately for him... Rimuru wasn't Obito
He pointed his finger to Sasori's face
"What?" Sasori asked confused and stalling
Rimuru pushed his finger, and when it touched Sasori's head
[Ammutseba]
Immediately the wood that made Sasori's body shriveled and broke apart, leaving his 'Core' behind
"Even a puppet, technically still has a human heart... poetic" he said as he used his skill again
<Skill acquired and fused with [Shedding] to make [Glycon, lord of puppetry]>
Explanation, Glycon is a greek ancient snake god who was supposedly a hand puppet
After disposing of Sasori's remaining pieces, Rimuru turned back into himself and teleported back to where he was before
...
"Well, that's done with
Konan and Nagato will now have some sense of urgency, and I just need to find some more people to my new village... who is a good choice now that Roran and Ame are basically guaranteed?
...
I know just the place, the land of demons!
They are only there to keep that Moryo sealed or something, so if I get rid of him, they don't need to be there anymore
and they will be indebted to me as well!
that's a master plan!"
While Rimuru was excitedly doing his monologue, neither he nor Ceres could notice the two hidden figures looking at him from afar...
-=-
'It seems that he started to separate from Ashborn's powers... maybe he will turn into a new monarch soon, and then I'll see if he is an ally or an enemy'
Thought the edgelord himself
-=-
<'Huuum... seems like the [Great sage] of that slime evolved, and that is why my connection was cut... I need to test if he is ready or not before proceeding with my plan, though...'>
Thought the mastermind behind the scenes herself
