Naruto reappeared in the middle of an ash covered wasteland, marching towards him were several hundred Samurai bearing the mark of the fire lord, the army came to a halt several meters away from him and a large muscled man wearing the head gear of an officer stepped up.

"You there what is your business here, we have received word that Konoha is under attack, this is no place for civilians leave the area." he ordered

Smirking Naruto shook his head "You and your men are far too late, Konoha has already fallen." he replied

The men behind the officer began to whisper amongst themselves but were immediately silenced by a glare and spike of Killer Intent from their leader, turning back to Naruto he frowned "Did you get any look at the attackers? What village were they from?" he asked

"There wasn't any village involved, Konoha was destroyed by one man." this caused further unease in the army "And you're speaking to him right now." several backs stiffened as various weapons were drawn. The leader sneering at him unrolled a scroll and began to read

"Your actions against the village of Konohagakure are as grievous as attacking the fire lord himself, surrender now and you shall be granted a quick death." he read

Tapping a finger on his chin Naruto looked like he was thinking about it, turning back to the leader he answered "Tell your lord that I plan to build a village on top of Konoha's ashes, he can either hire me as his Kage or bow to me as his lord."

"You would dare threaten the fire lord, that is be a declaration of war, the fire lords army out numbers Konoha's forces by a factor of ten, would you still challenge his might knowing this?" the officer asked with a smirk

Naruto returned the smirk with one of his own "Without a second's hesitation." he replied

The leader seethed but backed down, they had been ordered to assess the situation with Konoha, and if this boy spoke the truth then his strength would be a great addition to the country, writing a quick message he sent a hawk back to the capital city while some scouts circled around Naruto to go check if he was telling the truth.

Turning back towards Naruto he shouted "I have sent your words to the fire lord, a reply should arrive in a few hours." getting a nod from the boy he put his forces at ease and gave them a break, hearing the sound of skin meeting skin he turned to see the boy with his hands together as if he were praying, as the boy slammed his hands into the ground several men stiffened expecting an attack, but they watched in amazement as the ashes below him seemed to rise up hardening as they went until a throne had been created, as the boy sat he noticed that the throne included cushions as well.

'What was that? I've never seen a ninja do that before' he thought as he turned back to his men

A couple hours later the scouts returned to inform him that there was nothing left of the village, only an ash filled trench that extended for a few hundred meters. Half an hour later the red hawk of the royal family arrived with a scroll in tow, taking the scroll the commander began to read, after a few seconds he waved his arm and several arrows were fired at Naruto from the back of the army, without even batting an eyelash he sat there as the arrows all seemed to flow around him and into the ground.

Yawning he looked up at his bewildered audience "I take it that's a no then." he said

The commander frowned before answering, he had hoped this would have been ended quickly "You attacked one of our villages, burned down the forest created by the Shodaime Hokage and threatened the fire lord, that classifies as an act of war, you have been classified as an enemy of the state and will be treated as such, the hawk that just left has a picture of you drawn by one of my men, by this time tomorrow you will be marked in every bounty hunters book, that is if you survive past today." he finished
