Pair of Monarchs
Suggestion By: Robin Chwan Fatliyansyah
Pairings: Sasuke x Fem Rimuru
Rimuru, Capital of Tempest
A blue and black slime sat on top of a rooftop overlooking the busy night streets of the once small village turned busy city. The two smiled as they saw how much progress they were able to get done together.
"How long has it been Sasuke?" the blue slime asked.
"I don't know. Does it matter?" Sasuke asked uncaringly.
The blue slime sighed, "You really haven't changed much have you?" she asked.
"Rimuru, with however long it's been. I think you should already know how much you changed me." Sasuke replied as Rimuru turned pink in some areas.
"I g-guess, but look at this. All this was done in less than 10 years! It's almost like a metropolis! Do you know how big the cities in my old world were like!?" Rimuru asked.
"I do, because you showed me remember?" Sasuke asked making Rimuru blush in embarrassment. "Also, it's been like barely 6 years I would say. Maybe 7." he added.
Rimuru gasped, "You do remember!" She said making him look away.
"Whatever." Sasuke said still pretending not care.
Rimuru pouted as she transformed into her human form, "Stop saying things that you don't mean!" she exclaimed as she started squashing and stretching Sasuke.
"HEY! Knock it off! You're worse than Shuna and Shion!" Sasuke yelled as he hated being stretched around.
"Mom! Dad!" Rimuru dropped Sasuke and turned towards the sound of the voice.
"Izuna?" Rimuru asked as Sasuke entered his human form.
The two looked down at the street to see a little slime calling out to them. The little slime then turned into a young boy with black hair and blue tips.
"What is it son?" Sasuke asked.
"I wanna show you something I learned!" Izuna answered excitedly.
Sasuke sighed, "I guess we better see it. It must be good if he's this excited." he said as Rimuru giggled.
"Okay Izuna, we'll be right down!" Rimuru said.
"I'll meet you there!" Izuna said as he started running off towards a random direction.
"Hey don't run! You haven't told us where to go!" Sasuke exclaimed as he lifted up Rimuru in his arms before spreading some bat shaped wings.
Rimuru rolled her eyes, "He's too much like me." she said.
Cave, a few years earlier
In the middle of a cave, there was a large stream of water. Within the source of water lied a black slimy substance. As it drifted below the water, it started to move on it's own before attempting to drift towards the surface of the water. Where it would eventually, despite some struggle, reach dry land. There, the sentient slime would attempt to look around before realizing it had a limited line of sight. As the creature attempted to move around, it noticed another slime attached to it's black.
'What the hell is this?' the black slime wondered.
As it tried to pry off the slime like chewing gum attached to the bottom of a shoe. The blue slime let out a small squeal as if it had been violated. Before the black slime realized it, the blue slime bashed itself into the black slime.
"Pervert!" the blue slime barely managed to scream.
The black slimed sneered, "You're the one riding me!" he said with what he thought was a glare.
Although for both slimes, everything was a literal blur. As they could sense whatever was in front of him. Which really frustrated the black sime as he realized he didn't have a functonal body. Making him groan until he did everything he could to move around and see. Before remembering something that could definitely help.
"Sharingan." The black slime muttered.
"Eh? What did you say?" the blue slime asked.
The black slime ignored the blue slime as his vision adjusted. With his eyes revealing that they had turned red with three black tomoe in each eye spinning around. When the black slime looked at the blue slime, he immediately jumped back in surprise before noticing his situation.
"What the hell is this!? Am I some kind of slimy creature?" the black slime asked. "Worse, you're also one." he said.
"What? Oh kami! I am a slime!" the blue slime yelled with fright as she realized her condition.
"How the hell did this happen!?" the black slime asked before feeling a headache.
"Hey are you okay?" the blue slime asked.
The black slime groaned, "Damn it, it was Naruto's fault!" he yelled.
The blue slime sweat dropped, "Naruto? What you choked on ramen?" she asked.
"No! I was…"
"Hey it's okay, I mean it's better than me. I was on my way to work when I caught up with one of my employees. The next thing I know, this crazy guy tries to stab him and ends up stabbing me instead." the blue slime explained.
The black slime sighed, "Well you had it easy. I was fighting my friend Naruto. To prove that I needed to change the Elemental Nations by destroying the Five Hidden Villages. After my home betrayed my clan by making my brother kill them when they planned a coup. So after learning the truth when I killed my brother, I wanted to destroy my village. Then all the other ones as the whole system is corrupt. Instead… the dobe beat me." he explained.
The blue slime would have given the black slime a blank stare, "You are the weirdest NEET I've ever met. Also your story sucks, you are the absolute worst at roleplaying." she said.
"It's the truth!" the black slime argued.
"Dude, your clan attempted a coup, your brother stopped them, so let me guess. You killed your brother because he was brainwashed right?" the blue slime asked.
"Sort of, he said he was doing it for the village. Before that, he lied saying he was doing it to test his skill. Only after I learned the truth I hated the village but when he was briefly resurrected…"
"Wait so he just came back to life!? Or is this some spiritual thing!?" the blue slime asked.
The black slime groaned, "Why am I explaining this to you!?" he asked.
"I don't know, but you need a better story. It just sounds like you're a crybaby trying to find a reason to get mad. Your family could have been terrorists and now you're defending them? I don't want to sound bad, but it sounds like you're the villain." the blue slime said thinking the black slime was lying.
"I'm the one in pain here!" the black slime yelled.
The blue slime scoffed, "Buddy, you need help. If that story was true, you're more concerned with finding an excuse to be vengeful. There was nothing but a path of destruction, there wouldn't be any order except death. So now that you're here, you wouldn't be able to hurt anyone and have to accept that you need to move on." she explained.
"No! I'll find a way back! With my Rinnegan, I can travel back and fight Naruto…!"
"And lose! If he beat you the first time! He'll beat you again no matter how many times you'll come back! Now do yourself a favor and move! On! With! Your! Life!" the blue slime yelled before hopping away.
The black slime just sat there silently. Out of everyone he's met, everyone he's had some form of a bond, all the people wanting to help him. The black slime literally felt like he was hit with a hard dose of reality. With everything he's done so far, every goal, every attempt to gain power, it all failed.
Seek vengeance on Itachi? He saved a village from collapsing from civil war.
Revenge on Konoha? An alliance formed and while he refused to admit it, he couldn't take on five villages at once as no village would standby and let destruction occur.
Get more power? Naruto literally fought several bijuu at once, spread all his chakra into clones to help fight the White Zetsu Army and even shared his chakra with the alliance members! All while the black slime himself needed his brother's help just to fight Kabuto!
Until Kaguya Otsutsuki arrived, the black slime had done nothing to compare to the idiot he called a friend at one point. This was some ironic divine punishment as even now, the black slime couldn't use his new dojutsu. Even then, what would his slime form let him do? Stain the ground?
'I'm an idiot.' the black slime admitted. He sighed as he looked for the blue slime, "If there's nothing I can do maybe I can… hey wait!" he yelled as he saw the blue slime running around eating plants.
"Predator!" the blue slime yelled as she kept eating more plants.
"Predator? What the hell is… ugh!" The black slime. "Could we start over maybe? My name is Sasuke Uchiha!" He announced.
"Fine we can start over, my name is Sayoko Mikami!" the blue slime replied.
"Skill: Predator obtained." Said a disimbodied voice.
"What the hell was that?" Sasuke asked.
"What was what?" Sayoko asked.
"Some voice that said skills and predator." Sasuke answered confusing the blue slime.
"Maybe it's Great Sage." Sayoko said.
"Maybe it's what?" Sasuke asked.
"I woke up with this computer like voice. It called itself a skill. So it's mainly been working as a sidekick with lots of advice." Sayoko said before continuing to eat more herbs.
"So why are you eating plants?" Sasuke asked.
"They're full of stuff that makes healing potions!" Sayoko exclaimed.
Sasuke sighed, "Okay, so how do I use Predator?" he asked himself before hearing Great Sage's voice.
A few hours later
Sasuke groaned at the pointless eating. For some reason he felt fearful about a comment he was going to make about eating a lot. The Uchiha, or former Uchiha, felt like a Nara for a moment. As if he predicted his fellow slime would attack him if he would indirectly call her fat. Likely because this isn't a fangirl like Sakura or Karin who would just cry and promise that they would lose weight.
'I doubt she would forgive me if I tried to kill her.' Sasuke thought as he remembered Sakura conveniently forgetting that he almost killed her.
"Uh, Sasuke I found something." Sayoko said.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know, I can't see like you." Sayoko answered, reminding Sasuke that she doesn't have a dojutsu let alone eyes.
Sasuke sighed, "I guess I'll look for myself." he said before paling at what Sayoko found.
What Sasuke came across was a gigantic black dragon locked away behind some sort of barrier. It could be because Sasuke can't identify facial expressions on a dragon, but that thing looked very hostile. And Sasuke himself is the master of glaring at every little thing. So he himself wasn't excited to see something gigantic looking down at him and he stared down the Kyuubi! Then again, that thing was heavily restrained and at half power.
So similar to the dragon, Sasuke was staring down at an inmate covered in straps and drugged enough to stay weak. Although this prisoner was far more intimidating.
"Who are you and why do you dare come into the presence of the Great Storm Dragon, Veldora?" the dragon asked.
"Sasuke what is that? I can here something but I can't see it." Sayoko said.
"It's a big ass dragon." Sasuke said bluntly.
"Dragon? Wait are you serious? I wanna see!" Sayoko exclaimed.
Sasuke sighed, "I can only describe it remember?" he asked as Sayoko remembered that she's technically blind.
However Veldora had something to say, "I can bestow the power of sight. For a small deal in return." He offered.
"What kind of deal?" Sasuke asked.
One long negotiation and explanation later
Sasuke nodded, "So you were trapped by some hero for three hundred years and only one of four true dragons. Meanwhile the two of us are otherworlders, people sent he from another world. I guess that sort of makes sense." he said summarizing the conversation.
"And I can see again if we promise to visit." Sayoko said.
"Yes, however I've never heard of an otherworlder arriving through reincarnation." Veldora said as a human returning to life as a monster was unheard of.
After a couple of minutes, Sayoko regained her eyesight and was surprised by the view of the world. Including Sasuke who she snickered at for being a black slime. Because she thought he looked like a pile of goop filled with black dye. However her face (if you can call it that) turned into one of sheer horror as she was terrified by Veldora's appearance.
"How are you not scared of him!?" Sayoko asked.
"I've seen nine bijuu, the juubi and still lost when I had most of them under my control." Sasuke said as another mystical animal was not new to him.
"Bijuu? I've never heard of them before." Veldora said.
"They're probably the equivalent of the dragons of this world." Sasuke said.
Veldora scoffed, "The dragons are much mightier!" he argued.
"They've all been sealed before and controlled I admit. Except the same can be said about you." Sasuke said as a rainy cloud appeared over Vedlora's head.
"So mean." Veldora said.
"Is he seriously sad!?" Sayoko asked.
"You just said you were scared of him." Sasuke said.
Sayoko sighed, "Well I never expected a dragon to be so rebunctious." She replied.
"And I never expected to be trapped inside a black blob of slime. We can't have what we want. If I have to accept something, it's that." Sasuke said.
"Aw, you're learning Sasu-chan." Sayoko said patting him on the head.
"Don't call me that." Sasuke said making her giggle.
"Someone hates talking about feelings." Veldora commented.
Sasuke felt annoyed, "I swear, you're probably Naruto's reincarnation and you're too stupid to remember." he said.
Sayoko laughed, "So cute, you miss your friends. Too bad we can't take Veldora with us. He seems nice." she said.
"Good, I wouldn't want to spend time with him anyways. That barrier has to be impenetrable if he's that powerful." Sasuke said.
Veldora nodded, "The black slime is correct, the hero sealed my skills when they trapped me. Even I cannot break it and I would say I have a 100 years left until I run out of energy." he said.
"What happens if you run out?" Sayoko asked.
"Death." Sasuke said.
"Eh? Why are you all gloomy?" Sayoko asked with wide eyes.
"I believe he is correct. I'm assuming that fate awaits me once my mana runs out." Veldora says as he agreed with Sasuke's theory.
Sayoko looked saddened, "Too bad we can't take you out unless.. Predator!" she calls out.
Sayoko immediately started to reach out for the barrier thinking she could devour it and break it open. Only for the barrier to reject her. Followed by an error message on the behalf of Great Sage.
"That failed." Sayoko said.
"Well it's not like we can drag him around or store him somewhere." Sasuke said as Sayoko started thinking of various possibilities with Great Sage.
Only to realize what Sasuke said, "That's it!" she yelled.
"What?" Veldora asked.
"Veldora, get in my stomach." Sayoko said.
"Excuse me?" Veldora asked.
"Are you hungry or something? You can't be that desperate." Sasuke said offending the blue slime.
"No, I mean I could try to store the Unlimited Prison and hold Veldora inside of me. At least until we find a way to release him." Sayoko said.
Sasuke gave her an angry stare, "You better not tell anyone that I knocked you up." he said.
Rimuru turned red before shoving him, "Pervert! I don't care if you're the last slime in the world! I bet you didn't have a girlfriend in your past life." she said before turning away from him.
"Just because that's true, it doesn't mean anything." Sasuke retorted.
Veldora snorted, "I think you just insulted yourself. Too bad too, you two would make a fine couple." he said.
"Like I would be with someone like her." Sasuke said.
"You're the one implying that you would have gotten her pregnant." Veldora said with a snide look on his face.
"Shut up!" Sasuke yelled indignantly.
"Okay that's enough! What do you say about it Veldora? I can use Predator again but in a different way and it beats staying by yourself." Saoyo suggested.
Veldora stayed silent for a moment as if to contemplate the suggestion. Before he let out a loud and very hearty laugh of amusement. One that made Saoyo feel a bit nervous as to how he responded.
"I like it! I approve of this plan!" Veldora answered.
"Cool!" Sayoko said. "Now let's…"
"Now wait one moment. Before we get to that, I would like to bestow a name upon you. As you are reborn, you have no name." Veldora said.
"Really? I mean, I am Sayoko Mikami but… well I guess I was Sayoko Mikami before." the blue slime said realizing what the dragon meant.
"Whatever, my name is Sasuke Uchiha and I will always be Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said defiantly.
"Even if you're the last one left?" Sayoko asked making Sasuke stay silent for a moment. "Anyways, why name me? Besides the fact that I'm a new person I mean." she asked.
"Because, it is a sign that you and I are equals. Only I will give you the opportunity to give me a surname. A family name of sorts." Veldora said.
"Really!? I mean, what's a good name for a dragon?" Sayoko asked.
"He's the Storm Dragon, maybe you can make something from that." Sasuke suggested.
Sayoko nodded, "I know! Tempest! You can be, Veldora Tempest!" she exclaimed before Veldora stayed silent for a moment.
"TEMPEST!?" Veldora asked.
"Uh, you don't like it?" Sayoko asked nervously.
"I LOVE IT! VELDORA TEMPEST IS A FINE NAME INDEED!" Veldora cried out in happiness. "Now I name you young slime. You will be known as… Rimuru Tempest!" he saidas Sayoko, now Rimuru, started to transform.
"What is going on now?" Sasuke asked as he saw the metamorphoses.
"And you, I name you Sasuke Tempest!" Velodra added as Sasuke also went through a metamorphoses.
"Me too?" Sasuke asked as he and Rimuru saw their names embedded into their minds.
Rimuru Tempest
Sasuke Tempest
Veldora let out another laugh, "I suppose this is like marriage in a way." he said.
Rimuru let out a whine, "I guess if I'm stuck with him. I might as well be close with my own kind." she said as Sasuke groaned.
"Just eat him or whatever. I'm already sick of this place." Sasuke said.
"Fine, are you ready Veldora?" Rimuru asked.
"I've been ready! Let us go!" Veldora yelled as Rimuru started devouring the whole prison and storing it within herself.
After a few minutes, Sasuke caught Rimuru with body. Before hearing a strange sound which must have been the equivalent of a burp for a slime.
"Thank you." Rimuru said as she hopped off.
"Okay we have the annoying dragon. Now let's leave." Sasuke said as he lead the way.
"Haha, this is like some RPG game!" Rimuru exclaimed.
"A what?" Sasuke asked, having never heard of video games.
More time later
Rimuru was silently contemplating while Sasuke was glaring, "We are never using Rot ever again." he said.
"Definitely, Rot is a bad idea." Rimuru said never wanting to experience burning a giant centipede again.
After many hours of exploring the dungeon. Followed by lots of monster slaying, Rimuru calls it farming for some reason, as well as devouring more unique plants and crystals. The pair of slimes found two large steel doors.
"An exit?" Sasuke asked as he tried opening the door. Only to curse his luck, "Stupid stubby goo hands." he said.
"Maybe we can break it down with a skill." Rimuru suggested.
Before Sasuke could agree or argue. They both noticed the doors slowly opening. Prompting the two to run for cover and see what would happen. Where they would find three ordinary looking humans coming inside. As Rimuru stuck her head out and considered interacting with the trio. Sasuke pulled her back and shook his head. As he had no faith that humans of this world had any trust in other monsters. Even if they are seemingly helpless slimes.
"When they're out of range. We run straight out the door." Sasuke said making Rimuru nod.
Once the trio was out of the way and the doors began to close. Sasuke hopped away as quickly as possible with Rimuru tagging behind him. Once they escaped the cave and the doors closed behind them. Sasuke and Rimuru took in the sun's bright rays.
"Freedom! Oh sun! How I missed you!" Rimuru exclaimed.
"It's too bright." Sasuke complained.
"Too bright? What are you? An old man? You really need to stop whining." Rimuru said as Sasuke glared. "Also stop glaring, it ruins your visual appeal." she said before hopping away.
"Like I care about my visual appeal." Sasuke retorted.
Then suddenly they were surrounded, "Stop right there scary slime with the scary glare!" one of them said.
Sasuke felt irked when he heard that, "What was that? I don't think I heard you!" he said angrily.
"We won't don't wish to fight but rather talk things out if possible!" One of them said.
Sasuke looked at Rimuru for a second, "I can take them." he said.
"No! We're not fighting a bunch of goblins!" Rimuru yelled. She then gave the goblins a closed eye smile, "Please pardon my friend. He has no manners or sense of patience." she said.
Sasuke glared at the blue slime. However the goblins stood there in confusion.
"It would really help if you could talk." the lead goblin said.
"Are they deaf?" Sasuke asked.
"It could be the fact we have no mouths." Rimuru suggested.
"How would that matter!? We can talk to each other and Veldora." Sasuke replied.
"I don't know, but let me try something." Rimuru said as she tried creating a mouth. Then she got loud, "HELLO! MY NAME IS RIMURU TEMPEST! NICE TO MEET YOU!" She yells due to the lack of control in her voice's volume.
Suddenly the goblins fell and bowed their heads, "Please stop! We surrender and admit your power!" the lead goblin wearing a bandana pleaded.
"What?" Rimuru asked.
"You need to adjust your voice apparently." Sasuke said.
"Really? You must have some kind of sound resistance if my shockwave didn't effect you." Rimuru said sounding impressed.
"My ex-teammate Sakura has a voice that makes your scream sound like a pin drop." Sasuke said making Rimuru go wide eyed.
Rimuru shook herself before adjusting her voiume to a whisper, "Sorry, I lost control of my voice. My name Rimuru Tempest, the black slime over there is Sasuke Tempest." she said.
The lead goblin nodded, "We're the goblin tribe. We live nearby and sensed your immense power." he said.
"Immense power?" Sasuke asked.
Some time later, at the goblin village
Once the slimes were invited into the chief goblin's hut and Sasuke learned to adjust his own voice. The two were met by the chief elder himself who explained the situation with the monsters running around. All due to the fact that no one could sense Veldora anymore as his presence in the cave still unleashed a powerful miasma that kept the monsters from running wild. Especially the Dire wolves who are terrorizing the village and killed the chief's first son, Rigur.
"And why would you ask two slimes? We're literally just piles of goo with sentience." Sasuke asked.
Rimiru wanted to say something but stayed silent as for once, Sasuke has a valid point. It's not that Rimuru didn't trust the goblins but wondered if they were very desperate for a savior. As from all her years of playing video games, Rimuru understood that slimes are possibly the weakest monsters to fight. Although they are good for practice and tutorial stages.
"Don't say that might one black slime! We can sense your respective powers. With all due respect, your presence alone makes it hard to breathe." The village elder said.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Rimuru who shrugged or tried to at least.
After a minute of pondering, Rimuru looked around before looking scared, "Uh Sasuke, you might want to use your Detect Magic skill." she said.
"Okay? Detect Magic." Sasuke casted only to mentally face palm. "Are you serious?" he asked.
What Sasuke was Rimuru looking sheepish as a lot of heavy and dark magic surrounded her. Sasuke had one theory and it was Veldora who was trapped inside of Rimuru. Kind of funny really, Sasuke wondered if this is how a Hyuga feels when they use their Byakugan on Naruto or any other jinchuriki.
'Or me when I got the Sage of Six Path's chakra.' Sasuke thought as Rimuru learned to suck in the miasma caused by Veldora's magical presence.
"So you saw that. You are very impressive goblins indeed." Rimuru said pridefully.
'What is she doing now?' Sasuke thought, feeling annoyed.
"A test? Oh I see! You were testing us!" the elder said making Sasuke groan.
"Is something wrong Lord Black Slime?" the bandana wearing goblin asked.
Sasuke sighed, "My name is Sasuke, Sasuke Tempest apparently." he said.
Rimuru giggled, "Sasuke is making that noise because he's stressed." she said.
"I see, we would offer you two food but we currently lack the supplies and lack the manpower to seek out food." the elder said.
"Are your numbers that low?" Rimuru asked.
"Not exactly." the elder said.
At the makeshift infirmary
Rimuru's eyes softened as she witnessed the many injured goblins. Sasuke shook his head (body?) as he could tell the goblins have no chance of surviving. Normally he would just wander off on his own but he knew Rimuru would drag him back. The last thing he needed was another Naruto chasing him around and giving him stupid friendship and morality speeches.
"I can heal them." Rimuru said as she devoured one goblin.
"Wait just a moment!" one goblin tried to say before Rimuru spat the goblin out.
"Hey, I'm all better!" the formerly injured goblin exclaimed.
"Lady Blue Slime! You're a miracle worker!" the bandana goblin cheered.
"Her name is Rimuru, Rimuru Tempest." Sasuke said.
All the goblins blushed, "I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to call your mate such an offensive name." the bandana goblin apologizes with a bow.
Sasuke nodded, "Good, it's about time you learn some respect… she is not my mate!" he yelled angrily.
Rimuru giggled, "We just got named by the same person. Sasuke here has anger issues." she said as Sasuke growled. "Hey lose the attitude and maybe I'll let you invite me to dinner." she said teasing him further.
Sasuke hopped outside, "I'm going to set up traps or something." he said.
"Ah young love, it's been so long I've forgotten what it's like." the elder said.
"What was your love life like father?" the bandana goblin asked.
"I don't know, I can't remember son." the elder answered.
A while later, with Sasuke
Sasuke fumed as he threw down a stick, "How does a dobe like Naruto do this!? How hard is it to set up a snare!?" he asked angrily.
A while later, Rimuru arrived, "Need some help?" she asked.
Sasuke took a deep breath and let it out, "Yes." he said accepting his failure.
"Okay let me show you what you're doing wrong and what you got right. The key issue is how you're doing it." Rimuru explained as she picked up some discarded pieces of his snares.
Many hours of trial, error and teasing on Sasuke's end
After a lot of grueling hours of Rimuru having to teach Sasuke much to his impatience. Rimuru managed to help prepare and train the goblins for the oncoming onslaught of dire wolves just as the sun set. With the tiny goblin village being defended by various stakes set up as walls with the goblins all armed with bows and arrows. If that wasn't enough, the two slimes managed to dig several holes and created punji stick traps.
With all that said and done, the two slimes saw the pack leader let out a loud snarl as his pack arrived behind him. All of them looking aggressive and looking ready for a fight. Sasuke might as well been born a wolf as he was ready to stand his ground and protect the land he declared to be his territory.
"Listen up you mangy mongrels! I may be a slime to you but I am Sasuke Tempest! I'm going to give you one chance to back the hell off and go back gnawing on bones or whatever you do in your dens!" Sasuke yelled.
"You tell them buddy!" Rimuru said encouragingly.
"Otherwise face the might of the Temptest Clan!" Sasuke yelled as he revealed his Sharingan Skill.
Rimuru groaned, "And now you lost me." she said.
If the dire wolves did understand all that, they clearly didn't care for the words of a slime. As they all howled and ran down to attack the goblins once again.
"Their funerals." Sasuke said as the various traps went off.
Every few seconds, the dire wolves stumbled onto a trap. Finding themselves either stuck, impaled and a few even being decapitate. It was a massacre for them and a bigger mess when the lucky ones crashed into the spiked walls. As the goblins all fired their arrows and put them out of their miseries. Everyone except the elder chief goblin as he was very frail and lacked much strength to launch an arrow from that far away
All in all, the defense of the village was successful. That is until the lead dire wolf ran at them at full spring until he was also trapped.
"Steel Threads." Rimuru said as she heard the wolf snarl at her. "Water Slicer!" she yells as she attempts to cut him.
Unfortunately Rimuru missed due to the poor sight she had from the darkness of the night. Causing her to break the threads instead, allowing the dire wolf leader to fall down and free himself despite some difficulty. When he regained composure, he sprinted towards Rimuru for almost killing him.
"Yikes! Ah ah…"
"Chidori!" Sasuke yelled as he managed to spark a lot of lightning onto the side of his body.
Despite the awkward feeling of the electricity he built up around his body. He managed to recreate Kakashi's jutsu into a skill. Luckily it was good enough to kill the pack leader before it got to Rimuru.
"Thanks, did you make that?" Rimuru asked with wide eyes.
"Of course, I'm an elite." Sasuke said.
"So arrogant." Rimuru muttered.
However with the pack leader dead, the remaining wolves were slowly approaching them. Seeing this as a bad sight with all the traps having already been triggered. Rimuru devoured the body of the dead pack leader and gained a transformation skill.
"Skill: Transform!" Rimuru said as she turned into a dire wolf. Before letting out a loud shriek, "Menace!" she howls out causing a giant wave of wind to blow against the wolves.
Despite this intense howling going on for over a minute. The wolves refused to back off and give up. Surprisingly, they weren't here to continue fighting. Instead, they stopped in place and bowed their heads as if they were surrendering.
Sasuke found that funny for some reason, 'Talk no jutsu doesn't work here. You need howling skills.' he thought as he imagined Naruto actually sitting down and trying to talk to wolves as if they had the same level of cognition as humans.
The next morning
The goblins congratulated the two slimes for saving them. However now they had the issue of the wolves now wishing to declare the village their new home as they now wanted to follow Rimuru and Sasuke as their new masters. However Rimuru had another issue to deal with that's been bugging her lately.
"So you guys don't have names? How do you stay organized?" Rimuru asked.
"We just do, there hasn't been an issue of communicating among us." the chief elder answered.
"Well this is not going to work." Rimuru said as Sasuke shook his head. "I'll name you myself!" she said.
"Lady Rimuru! You don't have to do that! We're already blessed by your presence!" the elder said as if he was being offered salvation.
"I can, now everyone line up! You're all getting names!" Rimuru exclaimed.
"All of us!? Can you really handle it?" the elder asked.
"She's just naming you to keep you all organized. Don't worry about her." Sasuke said, forgetting what happened when a non-human is named.
A few minutes later
The elder and his son, the bandana goblin, came first, "I will name you after your brother. You will be Rigur and your dad will be Rigurd." Rimuru said.
The elder was brought to tears, "To be named after my son. I am so happy!" he exclaimed.
Sasuke sighed, "You have about as much imagination as dry paint." he said.
"You shut up! You don't have any imagination!" Rimuru argued as Sasuke went off on his own.
"Fine, I'm going to go over here or whatever." Sasuke said as he hopped away.
A couple of hours later
Sasuke sighed as he hopped back, "Hey Rimuru, are you still… oh kami. What happened to her!?" he asked as he ran by her melting body.
"Answer: Rimuru has run out of magical energy and will now hibernate." Great Sage answered.
"For how long?" Sasuke asked as he tried to pick up his fellow slime.
"Answer: Possibly three days." Great Sage answered.
"Really? I better pick her up then." Sasuke said as Rimuru kept slipping away.
"Here allow me to help." the elder, Rigurd, said.
"I don't think you should. Someone your age…"
*RIP*
Sasuke's eyes widened, "Did you just take steroids?" he asked the elder goblin who started to flex his new muscles.
Three days later
Rimuru slowly opened her eyes to find a dark haired young man with dark eyes staring at her. Rimuru gasped as she looked closely at the man sitting in front of her. She would have smiled if she had lips.
"Good, you're finally awake." the man said.
"Oh my gosh! You're Noctis Lucis Caelum!" Rimuru squealed.
"What?" the man asked.
"Wait? Does this mean I'm in the world of Final Fantasy now!?" Rimuru asked excitedly.
"You need to calm down." the man Rimuru thought was Noctis had said.
"To be honest, I'd rather be in either the FFX or even FFIX worlds, but this is okay. I mean some would pick Midgard from FFVII but I preferably like…"
"My name is Sasuke! Not Noctis!" Sasuke yelled before a giant wolf named Ranga broke through the wall.
"Lady Rimuru!" Ranga exclaimed.
"What the heck happened!?" Rimuru asked.
Later
Rimuru realized what was going on. Apparently like with what Veldora did to her by naming her. All the goblins had evolved into hobgoblins, a stronger and superior race. Even the dire wolves had evolved into the Tempest Wolves despite Rimuru only naming Ranga, the pack leader's son.
However, with everyone having grown stronger with names. Sasuke went on to explain that he tried recreating his old jutsu arsenal and managed to create a body similar to his old one. Ironically Rimuru did point out that Noctis would never have hair in the shape of a duck's ass. Sasuke retorted by threatening to not give her a real body. Which she didn't care as Rimuru didn't trust Sasuke with the concept but at least now, it would be easier to get into Dwargon that way.
As it was part of their next plan to help strengthen the goblin village.
"I guess that makes sense." Sasuke said as he saddled up onto Ranga's back with Rimuru on his shoulder.
"I'm glad you agree buddy! Now let's go!" Rimuru said as Ranga lead the way with Rigur and a few others following close behind.
"Farewell everyone!" the goblins said as the group left.
As they left from the village, Rimuru whispered into Sasuke's ear, "Hey Sasuke, I've been meaning to say I'm sorry about being a bitch when we met. With the whole thing about you letting thigns go." she said.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "It's fine, honestly the idiot (Naruto) tried doing the same. I guess it takes me dying to learn anything. So thanks or whatever." he said.
"Aw, I knew we could be friends. The two slimes will take this world by storm!" Rimuru said excitedly.
Sasuke sighed, "Why did I have to be stuck in a weird Isekai adventure?" he asked wondering what the future has in store for him.
OMAKE: How Sasuke Really Died
"NARUTO!"
"SASUKE!"
As the two did their patented scream. Naruto just stopped in mid run.
"Nope, I'm done." Naruto said.
Sasuke also suddenly stopped, "What do you mean you're done?" he asked.
"I'm done, I'm tired and this is pointless." Naruto said as he started to walk away.
"But… you're my rival! You're the thing that gets in my way! You have to fight me! You get no say in the matter Naruto!" Sasuke yelled.
"Nope, I'm done like I said. I'm moving on, I'm finding a new home. This place is too tedious." Naruto said.
"But… what will I do?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto shrugged, "I don't know, I don't care anymore." he said as he left.
Suddenly Sakura arrived and hugged Sasuke, "Naruto is gone now! That means we get to be together forever Sasuke-kun! Isn't that great!?" She asked expecting Sasuke to just suddenly like her enough to marry her and have a kid he may or may not neglect.
Sasuke smiled at her as he suddenly had an amazing idea. All thanks to what Sakura just said.
(Insert Screaming Goat Sound Effect)
*CRACK*
Sasuke jumped into the river stream. Thus ending his life and horrid nightmare that Sakura created. Maybe Naruto was right, it was best just to quit and move on.
Sometime later
Sasuke stirred awake and looked around to see Rimuru sleeping beside him, "Thank kami this is not a dream." he said feeling glad for once about being a slime.
