A Naruto/Game of Thrones Fan Work

Naruto: Hail to the King


Author Notes: I have decided to rework a cliché trend in this genre, a Naruto in Westeros story. I will use two or three different stories as a framework, some more easily recognizable than others. Anyways, please enjoy the effort.

Pairings: I will not have a set pairing right away, but I will immediately rule out Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark and her daughters, and Hinata for various reasons that shall be kept to myself.


It was Naruto's seventeenth name day. Waking from his chambers in King's Landing, he knew that the day will eventually come when he needed to take a bride to carry on his house and his kingdom. The day that Robert Baratheon allowed him to sit on the Iron Throne by the will of the seven gods of Westeros was the day the whole of Westeros knew that they finally enjoyed a just king on the throne.

The door opened to give way to his Hand, Tyrion Lannister the Imp, who fully enjoyed his position of being Naruto's annoyance. "Your Grace," the imp began, "Your seventeen name day has finally arrived." Naruto knows the implication behind the meaning of what he said. Time's up.

"Fine, send the ravens," Naruto said, catching the smile of Tyrion the whole time as he left to carry out his command. As Naruto laid back down, two resounding thoughts echoed through his mind, fan girls and the need to go on a vacation. 'Wonder how Eddard is doing,' he thought to himself as he finally rose and got dressed for the day.

Far to the north in a city called Konoha, the city's council was having a meeting on the fate of one Naruto Uzumaki. As punishment for beating Sasuke during the retrieval mission, they banished him without a trial, as was his right. The Fire Lord caught wind of what they did, and through a very public display, exiled the civilian council and forfeit their holdings to the Uzumaki clan. An audit on Konoha later proved the elders were draining that clan's funds and lands for their own ends, and the Fire Lord not only cut off access to that account, but he ordered that 55% of all mission fees for the next 7 years were to go back to that clan's account. So bankrupted, unable to pay their ninja, Tsunade played the only card she had in pacifying the unpaid nin...

...She resigned alongside the rest of the council and left Konoha.

The new council's first order of business was to appoint a new Hokage, and since most of the new council was seeded with Naruto's classmates, they appointed Naruto to formally accept the position of the Sixth, fully rescinding the banishment order.

The only question was can they find him?

In Winterfell, Eddard Stark can be seen watching his children practice archery, even his youngest was trying hard, almost too hard, to hit a target ten yards out. His latest letter to Robert Baratheon, King Naruto's Master of Law, spoke of The Wall weeping greater than usual. 'The response would hopefully come sooner rather than later,' Eddard thought with great concern, "but with the King being unmarried and unwilling to look," he mumbled.

Catelyn heard him. "At least his Majesty is unwilling to look because of the political landscape in his homeland," she asked her husband with some concern, "he is considered a commoner in his homeland, is he not?"

"No, he is highborn, but his birth is kept from him, as well as his lands."

"What happened?"

"That is his Majesty's story to tell." It was at this moment that a messenger approached the Lord of Winterfell, "My Lord," the messenger began, "His Grace King Naruto has sent word that he is seeking a bride. All girls 17 summers to 20 summers that reside in the cities are to be sent to King's Landing for the King to select his bride. There is also a message from Ser Robert about The Wall."

"Speak man," Eddard replied sharply.

"His Grace is to come to Winterfell to see The Wall in person soon. I wouldn't be surprised if he is on his way to the North as we speak with his Kingsguard."

He motioned a house guard and spoke, "how is our guests holding up?"

"They have adapted to our culture well enough to release them from our custody. The paled eyed one and his daughter have written to Ser Tywin Lannister about security to King's Landing. They are to meet at Moat Cailin on the way to King's Landing." Eddard sensed a but somewhere. "But with the news that His Grace is heading to Winterfell, it may be entirely possible for the Kingsguard to provide that protection, no?"

Eddard and Catelyn thought it over for a few minutes as the children, now under the watchful eyes of Jon Snow, still practice their combat skills. "Gather our guests in the council room," Catelyn spoke for Eddard, "at least they should have some input as to their futures here in Westeros."

"My Lady," the house guard spoke before turning to leave.

"Hold that thought," Eddard stopped him, "gather the lads as well," he spoke looking down at the interaction between his youngest son and Hanabi.

Soon night fell on Winterfell and the guests were assembled in the council chambers. At the head of the table sat Eddard Stark, as was his place as Warden of the North. To his right sat his wife Catelyn Stark, nee Tully. Rounding out the right side of the table was his two sons, Robb Stark and Bran Stark, and Jon Snow. The last two positions were filled by Eddard's chief advisor Maester Luwin and his bannerman Rickard Karstark. At the foot of the table sat Tsunade Senju, the former 5th Hokage, on her right was Hiashi Hyuga, Tsume Inuzuka, Tsunade's apprentice Shizune, Former ANBU Anko Mitarashi and Yugao Uzuki.

"I would like to thank you for coming on short notice," Eddard began. "As you may well know, our king Naruto, your friend, rules over our land with justice. That being said, I received a letter from his Master of Law, Ser Robert, that stated that His Grace is interested in the problems that the wall that separates our land from yours is weeping more than usual, and is on his way up here to Winterfell to inspect the Wall. Hiashi, I know that you have written to Ser Tywin about protection for your group as you make your way to King's Landing. Have you received a reply?"

"Yes, My Lord," Hiashi replied in a modest tone, "He demands 300 Gold Dragons for each of us for safe travels. Since we have Gold Ryo," he trailed off to Eddard's nodding.

"I can see where that can become an issue."

Tsunade decided to speak, "My medical practice is slowly picking up steam. Winterfell is currently making 100 Gold Dragons a month for the last season. As a result, trained doctors are being sent all over the seven kingdoms to practice and train more doctors to spread their practice."

Shizune then spoke, "I have decided to remain here in Winterfell to run the medical school here."

Yugao finally spoke, "I have decided to go to King's Landing to become a sell sword while Anko will press to get a position in the dungeons."

Tsume brought up the rear by saying, "I have found a charming young man here in Winterfell that I wish to mate."

Eddard finally spoke up, "So that is decided, Yugao, Anko, Hiashi and Tsunade will traverse to King's Landing. What of your daughter, Hiashi?"

"She will stay here. She apparently enjoys it with your son, Bran."

"Do you wish to join houses?"

"Not right away, My Lord. She has to grow up first." That got a laugh from the table.

"Very well then." The group parted without another word for the night, waiting for the day that Naruto would appear in the city.

Author Notes:

Big clue here: I am not following the books nor the TV show. To be honest, I am relatively new to the series, but I feel that the Westeros setting is too good to pass up for fan fiction of this caliber.

Also, there is a perfectly good explanation as to why the Elemental Nations are North of The Wall. It has to do with the fact that one of several stories that I frame worked this story off of is Naruto's Emperor's Dawn and other related fics. In most of those stories, there is always a wall that separates the Elemental Countries from Naruto's Empire. I just made that connection more believable. For the record, the Wall formally connects Westeros to the Elemental Countries by way of Snow country. The story will make mention of this fact again when appropriate.
