Sarutobi POV

The sound of stomping feet rang out through the tower as his guest climbed the stairs. A boy of nine walked proudly into his office. His glowing blue eyes glanced at the hidden ambu. Dog pulled out his sharingan.

He had read the reports of Natsu's abilities. Small cords of energy always spiraled around the child. These fibers covered the whole village now. Waves of the boy's mysterious energy continuously reverberated around the village. The Byakugan couldn't detect the tiny cables only the sharingan could view them. Now, he was without the only counter to the boy's powers.

This boy continued policing the villagers. It was absurd, when laws were broken the guilty were captured and a sphinx lead them to receive their punishment. In the case of spies, they took them to T&I. This frightening child was one of the three last Uchiha. In some ways, he was glad the Uchiha were gone. They may have succeeded with this child in the military queue.

The boy stood a healthy six feet. Still he kept his boyish appearance. The child was perhaps, the biggest enigma the village has seen in a long time. Where did he come from, who were his parents?

Jiraiya took a step forward. His former student put on a smile and took up his normal energy.

"My, aren't you are a tall one. I'm Jiraiya the toad sage. You probably read about me in your history book. I would like to ask you a few questions, if sensei will allow it?" Jiraiya said.

Hiruzen nodded his head.

"Do you know this man?" Jiraiya held up a picture of a former bandit. He was now the prophet of the god emperor. The emperor in question was often depicted as a large paper white skinned man with supernatural powers. A crown sat atop the statue's heads bathed in flames.

The religion of god emperor was spreading quickly among bandits. Rogues that once harassed merchants went to villages and preached about the tenants of their new god. Insane cults weren't an issue, it was the fact that the bandits displayed supernatural abilities. These abilities were not chakra based. Dog saw the same energy wrapped around them, as he did Natsu.

Temples towards the new deity were being built. New towns were popping up. Some roads were becoming safe to walk. Less shinobi were hired to guard merchants. It was bad for business. There were talks of these former bandits having the power to grow crops from seeds instantly. Massive buildings were built, armor, weapons, and machines were forged. These small villages appeared all around Konoha's border. The lands were bought with Uchiha funds.

"I've never met him before." The boy said. It wasn't a lie. Hiruzen had more than enough experience to know that much. That didn't mean it was the truth.

Jiraiya smiled in good nature.

"Did you know of this man before I told you?" The boy smiled and nodded. Sarutobi let out a breath. The boy wouldn't lie but he would give anything voluntarily.

"How did you find out about him." The boy smiled.

"I sent my sphinxes to his camp and turned him to my purpose." Natsu said. The boy spoke, with confidence. This was a planned act.

"What is your plan for your new religion?" Jiraiya cut to the chase. He was no longer smiling. Sarutobi thought his former student was having a flashback to Orochimaru.

"To win the next great shinobi war." That threw him for a loop. His mind went through a scenario. He was a child with overwhelming power and near limitless potential. There have been multiple shinobi war in the last fifty years. The odds were the next one could explode like an explosive tag at any time. With sentient creatures that could be mass produced what would he do? It wasn't obvious, but religion bent toward the manufacture of weapons and armor. Allies spread around the border of Konoha like a buffer the answer was obvious. The boy was preparing a defensive parameter to keep the fighting farther from konoha. Troops armed in barricades with abilities like shinobi. If they thought their god was just behind them and they were protecting him. Well they may be willing to do just about anything.

Then his mind moved to three years in the future. The boy would be twelve and a genin. He couldn't see the boy failing the exam. That would put a genin in charge of one of the largest forces in the land of fire. Who's to say the religion wouldn't expand to mist, sand, cloud, and stone. That would put his soldier in the position to lay siege to the villages. The only problem was, he couldn't trust a child with such a force, loyal to konoha or no. It was bad for diplomacy. Sand was their ally after all.

"I want you to disband your religion." If they boy complied they could move from there.

"Very well Hokage sir. They will break up and scatter to the four winds." The boy closed his eyes and opened them.

"It is done Hokage sir, the message has been set. Is there anything else?" Natsu asked.

"You may go. Good work this week. The Uchiha police are as efficient as ever." Sarutobi said. The boy didn't flinch. It was like taunting a robot. The boy bowed and left.

"That was a bit sick sensei. He lost his foster family down to his sister and cousin. Why would you say something like that?" Jiraiya said.

Sarutobi took his pipe out.

"I wanted to get a peek under the mask Jiraiya. We just ordered him to get rid of his favorite toys. Do you expect a child to just behave and give up his private army?" Hiruzen said.

"About that, we could have turned them into a useful fighting force. Why give that up to make the kid prove his loyalty?" Jiraiya said. Sarutobi shook his head at his student's naiveite.

"He hasn't given a thing up. That child does nothing but play with Naruto and his sister. At night he trains fuinjutsu. The boy hasn't slept since his mother's death. There is no crime in konoha. His powers allow him to monitor the whole village. A single misstep and the citizen is given a punishment. Simple fines mostly, but the rapes, and murders are tried rather barbarically. That boy has functionally replaced the Uchiha police force and somehow he found the time to start his own religion." Sarutobi said. His student let out a low whistle.

"That is impressive sensei. Does that mean he sees every woman in the bath at all times?" Jiraiya said.

"All the men as well Jiraiya." Sarutobi chuckled when Jiraiya went white faced.

"You know, he is going to find some way to take advantage of your orders. Someone like that isn't going to be controlled easily." Jiraiya said.

"We will see Jiraiya." Sarutobi said.

John POV

My mana fibers stretched far wider than the hokage knew. My mind stretched for miles always monitoring the formation of my order. If he wanted them to spread to the four winds, then so be it. The orders were given.

Supplies could be stored, and caravans created. It was time his religious order began project missionary. They had more than enough supplies to sell and increase their fortune. The main temple was to be built in the land of spring. That gave them time to dig in and make the country mine.

That's a wrap.
