Chapter IV: Blood of Moon

Targaryen Army Encampment

Yunkai

Slaver's Bay, Essos

Year 300 AC

Tyene strolled around the Dothraki section of the camp where her eyes glanced at the many men who either cursed, fought or laughed with each other over wine and mead. She heard the unmistakable sound of pleasure and saw a Dothraki man fucking his woman in public.

It was Dothraki culture to do everything under the open sky which is why they don't have houses and such. This applies to marriage where the groom and his bride consummate their wedding underneath the night sky.

She stopped in her pace when a lone Dothraki stared at her with lustful eyes and looked like he wanted to claim her and fuck her in the place she stood. Suddenly, the same Dothraki turned away when someone walked behind Tyene. It was not whom either of them expected.

"You shouldn't stare at a Dothraki man lest you want to be his mate."

"I'll keep that in mind." Tyene said as she looked at Jorah while they walked down a path. "If the Dothraki ever step foot in Westeros, no doubt they and my people would get along just fine… in the pleasure sense of sorts. I could see a Dothraki sibling if my father set his eyes on that one."

Jorah looked at Tyene's finger in the trajectory it pointed and saw a very busty Dothraki woman with large breasts and thin waist as she was being thrust from behind her man. That same man was challenged by his brethren to claim the busty woman.

They looked as the duo walked away from the scene after the Dothraki man won and continued his rough sex session with his woman. "The Dothraki really do live up to their name."

"You must really want something." Jorah mused.

"Not something actually."

"Someone I take it."

Tyene hesitated a moment. "Sure, let's go with that." She looked at Jorah. "Where is Naruto by the way?"

"I thought he was with you," asked a confused Jorah.

Naruto walked to the hilltop where the sight of the Yellow City greeted him in spite of the great distance between them. He had his arms crossed as his eyes stared at the slaver city before they took pain seconds later. His clones' memories always gave him small headaches when he used them for reconnaissance.

'Okay then. Ignoring the pain, the guard patrol is nothing to be taken serious of. Three to five men…every hour-and-a-half between guard changes…and their main base is a brothel. Not surprising since they train bed-slaves after all. Looks Tyene and I can do this without a hitch.'

Earlier in the day, Naruto with his fellow Queensguard including Tyene were present with Daenerys when Daario, the new leader of the Second Sons, informed them of his plan to take Yunkai in the night. The Yunkish do not know of Daario's new allegiance to Daenerys so that will work in their favor. The original plan was to take a small group under the dead of night and that involved Jorah, Daario, Grey Worm with a small band of the latter's Unsullied brethren.

Naruto on the other hand proposed a different plan. It was only to be him and Tyene as they would sneak inside the gates and kill the guards before neither of them would know what hit them. Of course, Barristan and Jorah protested this while Daario was amused but neither of them knew his purpose for such plan.

Except Daenerys. She realized that he wanted to send a message to the Yunkish and make them think twice about promoting slavery ever again via magical means. She approved the plan but she made it clear that both Naruto and Tyene had better make it back alive as she would hate to lose her newest Queensguard members after one day of servitude.

His peaceful time alone was disturbed when Fuka's chirps alerted him of someone approaching from behind. He didn't need to look back as he knew who it was. After all, she had a particular smell.

"What are you thinking about, Naruto?"

"Ways to have us return without losing a limb or organs." Naruto joked. "Although I am confident we'll succeed, Tyene." He turned around and saw a clearly upset Tyene with her hands on the hips. "You're upset. Why?"

"Besides the fact you are in Daenerys Targaryen's Queensguard and you inducting me into it without my knowledge or consent, I'm fine."

Naruto bristled with a sharp breath intake. "Okay, I was going to tell you."

"What were you thinking?!" She asked. "Do you not know about the laws of the Kingsguard? No marriage, no kids, no owning lands?! That applies to the Queensguard as well!"

Naruto weakly raised a finger. "If I could just get-"

"I thought you were bigger than this! Not physically but intellectually! Now you just-"

"Enough!" Naruto finally shouted, silencing Tyene in her place. "Geez, woman. How is anyone supposed to get a word in with you yapping all the way?!" Tyene snorted through her nose before she gestured him to explain. "Thank you. Now I know the laws of the Kingsguard and all that. I was hesitant to join the Queensguard but Daenerys assured me that it will be different than Westerosi Kingsguard."

"Like how?" Tyene asked.

"The laws are revoked. Each one of us can marry, have children, and own land during our tenure in the Queensguard. Also, the servitude is no longer eternal. We can leave whenever we want after a respectable amount of time."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Besides that, you should be thanking me for being the first female in the Queensguard." Naruto smirked victoriously at her.

Tyene felt a little silly but decided to remedy the situation between them with one notion. She grabbed her knives while her arms swung in circles to prepare them. "Thank you. But there is something else you can help me with. I have this tension in my shoulders and hips that just won't go away no matter what I do." She pointed her knives at Naruto.

The Uzumaki chuckled as he drew his kunai to clash with Tyene's knives. "I'll see what I can do about that."

Tyene pushed off as she let loose several swift strikes but neither of them connected due to either Naruto's several parries or simple footwork. Still she has the speed advantage due to her smaller frame which is something Naruto was impressed by.

Naruto parried a strike which left Tyene open and pivoted on his heel for a round-house kick. Tyene saw it coming and jumped high enough to dodge the limb as she laughed to herself until her eyes caught sight of Naruto's smirk.

'Uh oh.'

The Uzumaki kept the momentum for a second but stronger kick as it connected right to the Sand's stomach and sent her to a small distance on the ground. Tyene groaned after her hard impact as she slowly rose to the ground while her breathing grew normal slowly.

Instead of wallowing in pain or fearing for her life, she was excited as her eyes glued onto Naruto's frame. This is what a man should be for a Dornish woman. Since girlhood, her mother told her that a man should be strong, passionate, willing to push a woman to her limits and unwavering to public opinion just like her father and their people. And she's found him staring right into her eyes.

To think she wasn't interested in him at first.

Tyene held her knives in reverse-grip before she charged at Naruto who was ready for her. Naruto have his dual kunai readied for her but he felt something was different with Tyene's approach. Her moves are more discreet, subtle than before.

His eyes round in surprise when all the intent of her knives disappeared as they flew out of her hands at his face. 'What the?' Naruto was caught off-guard.

Tyene smirked victoriously as she went to work with her arms about to wrap around his neck. Her current mood quickly vanished just as it appeared when her arms didn't touch their target. Instead she felt the pain in her stomach as the air escaped from her lungs.

"W-what?" Tyene muttered at last. She looked down where Naruto had crouched below her eyeline with his fist slammed into her stomach. "Damn it…"

Naruto on the other hand was impressed by her last action. 'Not bad. There's potential in her.' After pulling back his fist, he saw Tyene staggered in place before she fell but Naruto stopped her as he held her by the shoulders. "You were trying the Flying Triangle chokehold, weren't you?"

"…Yeah." Tyene wheezed as she regained air. "Thought I might try it too. Looks like I failed."

"That actually was pretty good for your first attempt." Naruto answered honestly, much to Tyene's surprise. "You need to be more discreet and subtle in your attempts. The chokehold is good for grappling but extremely effective when used unexpectedly and at the perfect moment."

"Thanks. I'll do better next time." Tyene had a teasing smile that confused Naruto. She pressed her body against his body and grinded slightly against him. "Now how do you feel about that?"

Naruto coughed nervously. "Um, you shouldn't be doing that." He tried to back away from her but felt something sharp against his back. "Damn, you got me." He realized Tyene have grabbed one of his spare kunai from his belt. "Then again so did I."

Tyene had a confused look until she too felt something sharp close to her throat. She glanced at the object and saw Naruto's Valyrian steel Hidden Blade extended. "Damn it. Looks like it's a tie."

"So, it looks like it." Naruto smirked as they disengaged from each other. "Although I won." He took back the kunai from Tyene as he sheathed his main dual kunai to the belt.

"What do you mean by that? It's a tie."

"Sure, sure."

Naruto and Tyene stared at each other pensively before they shared a laugh. They saw the sun was mostly gone and signaled the assault to be near.

"You ready?" Naruto asked his Sand companion.

Tyene nodded confidently. "Of course, I am. I am a Sand Snake and one of the beautiful women in House Martell." She said with her pronounced chest to show her confidence.

"…There's no doubt about that." Naruto admitted honestly.

Tyene was caught off-guard by the blonde's honest answer. She expected him to deflect the conversation or change the topic and even straight-up lie to her but he didn't. Ned Stark would've been proud of Naruto for his honesty if they have met with each other before the former's execution.

"Well, well. Someone's modest~" Tyene mused as she smiled at him.

Naruto chuckled in response as he approached her. "Are you ready?" He asked her.

"…Absolutely."

"Let's go."

(Nighttime)

Yunkai

Slaver's Bay, Essos

Year 300 AC

The slave guards who were dressed in similar garb as the Unsullied except the chest plates are adorned with the Wise Masters' Harpy sigil. They wielded spears and simple circular shields with their swords in their belts. The guards were in the formation scouted by Fuka and Naruto's clones earlier in the day.

Along the outer walls near the back gate, two guards walked next to each other as they speak in Valyrian about the Second Sons, Daenerys Targaryen and the Unsullied army. Their conversation ended when a whistle tune reached their Ghiscari ears. They walked to the spot they heard as their spears poised in position for thrusts and lurched when they reached it.

There was no one there.

Shrugging it off as the wind breeze, they turned around and saw a hooded intruder before their throats were pierced by his blades. Naruto whistled lowly and Tyene climbed up the wall next to the spot where the guards looked at. She wore her turban while her mouth and nose were covered by a face-mask that Naruto provided for her to hide her identity.

Once the bodies were hidden, they nodded as Naruto took the lead and ran across the rooftops with Tyene behind him. She struggled to climb in the same way Naruto did but climbed nevertheless. They stopped at one rooftop where a group of guards were heading to the south gate.

"Okay then. Not too far out." Naruto commented as he took out his bow and nocked an arrow aimed at the platoon.

Tyene watched him breathed in deeply before the arrow was loose. Her intrigue was raised when Naruto said words of his native tongue.

"Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

Tyene was caught off-guard when the lone arrow in the air was covered in smoke just as more arrows appeared around it. The number of arrows matched the exact number of men in the platoon as they hit their marks in the vulnerable spots like the neck.

'Was that also magic?' Tyene thought as she looked at Naruto who nocked another arrow and released to fire a lone guard who appeared a second later, only to shot down by the projectile. 'What else can you do?'

"Come on. Let's go."

The duo continued their rooftop trek before the transition to the ground as they took out more guards on their way the main headquarters that is the brothel. They stuck to the shadows when another platoon, this time consisting of twenty men instead of five, approached them as they hid behind an alleyway.

Almost all of them left until something happened to Tyene as she tried to hold it in. Naruto noticed it as he covered both her nose and mouth. The two sighed in relief when the tension went away before Naruto retracted his hand from Tyene's face.

"Th-Achoo!"

"Shit." Naruto muttered under breath.

The platoon returned to their location with their flaming torches lighting the alleyway they were in. One of them charged but he was stopped by a shuriken to the face. The guards stared at their downed comrade before their gazes shifted on Naruto with his arm still outstretched from the throwing action.

"Eh~I need a good fight now."

Naruto leapt at one of the guards who thrust his spear at him. He dodged the attack and hit the man twice before he snatched the spear, twirled it a couple times as he stabbed the guard through the chest. The Assassin chuckled as he drew half the platoon to him while the other half went to Tyene.

"All of you for little ol' me? I'm touched." Tyene teased as two men charged at her with their shortswords.

The Sand Snake dodged their strikes before she pulled out her knives and slashed their both arms and legs. She rolled out of the way as three more guards charged after her while the first two fell to their knees moments later. Tyene smirked when she saw this and knew the reason why.

Like her father, she became an expert in poison and dipped her knives with a powerful toxin that kills her victims within seconds.

Tyene front-flipped followed by a back-flip to dodge consecutive spear swipes as she slashed their legs before her knives transitioned to thrust through their throats. She quickly sheathed her knives and grabbed one of the shortswords to parry the fifth guard's strike.

Swords nor spears was her fortitude like her older sister Obara but she was taught to adapt and learn as best she can from her father.

Meanwhile Naruto had already finished most of his enemy platoon as the last two guards stood in fear with their eyes glued at him. Surrounded around in a circle were their fallen brethren who was victim to his Valyrian steel Hidden Blades. He felt his wrist blades were neglected from combat and needed to refresh himself of their use.

Naruto dashed at them who swung their sword and spear at him in desperation as he dodged them both and ended in between them. He quickly stabbed their faces several times with his Hidden Blades and released them to let their bodies fall on the ground.

He looked ahead and saw Tyene on her last three men but they were bigger than the Sand as she was kicked to the ground. "Oh no, you don't." He took out a shuriken and threw it at the towering men. "Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

The shuriken turned to three that hit their marks as the men fell to the ground in front of Tyene. She didn't look pleased as Naruto approached her. "I had them." She accepted his hand as he pulled her up to her feet.

"Sure, you did." Naruto answered before he looked at the men Tyene defeated and noticed the odd number. "Tyene?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are there nine men here instead of ten?"

Tyene looked at the slain men and counted them as she grew slightly pale. "Oops." She said as the sounds of marching footsteps reached their ears.

Both Uzumaki and Sand watched a massive horde of Yunkish guards flanked them everywhere. One of the men Tyene fought must've escaped while she was busy with the guards and warned the Yunkish of their arrival in the city.

"Seems there's too much for all of us."

"So, it seems." Naruto flicked the blood off before his Hidden Blades retracted back into his sleeves. His fingers formed into a cross-sign. "Come for backup then. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu."

The Yunkish guards and Tyene were stunned when clones of fifteen emerged next to Naruto as he drew Blackfyre with his clones having drawn their clone Blackfyres in unison.

"Let's go wild." Naruto stated as he formed a Rasengan with his free hand.

His clones roared in a charge at the stunned guards with the original Naruto and Tyene leading the charge to take Yunkai. Naruto slammed his Rasengan on a Yunkish guard as the latter's chest exploded from contact. He grabbed Blackfyre's hilt and swung its blade to cut off several heads at the same time while Tyene stabbed another Yunkish in his neck with her knives.

The clones were beginning to push back the now scared Yunkish guards before reinforcements appeared behind them as Naruto and Tyene caught sight of them before they nodded at each other and charged at the reinforcements with some clones as well.

The night was filled with the orchestra of bloody screams and pain as the siege was only at its beginning.

Targaryen Army Encampment

Outside of Yunkai

Slaver's Bay, Essos

Year 300 AC

Daenerys paced around her tent as she was clearly impatient with the sack undertaken by two of her Queensguard. And she was not alone in that matter as Jorah and even Daario showed impatience though not in the same extent as their queen.

"How long does it take to sack a city?" Daenerys asked her most experienced warrior.

Barristan answered honestly, "With a small group, not much. But with only two people relying on the shadows…time will tell, Your Grace."

"They had better not die or else they'll feel the wrath of the dragon." Daenerys said, quoting her dead brother's words.

"I pity them if they do."

Their small area was disrupted when Grey Worm entered the room with a grim face. Jorah, Barristan and Daenerys felt their hearts sank until a smile etched on the Unsullied commander's smile. He stepped aside to show a bloodied Naruto and dusty Tyene as they carried a large cloth between them.

"Your Grace…" Tyene nodded at the relieved Daenerys as she and Naruto presented the cloth fully. It was the Yunkai's Wise Masters banner.

Naruto looked at the Targaryen queen. "Daenerys, Yunkai is now yours."

Crossroads Inn

The Riverlands, Westeros

Year 300 AC

Inside of the private room they booked under the table, Minato and Kushina stared intently at the numerous documents as they tried to find any clue about the exiled clan's plans for Westeros. The normally calm Minato was extremely worried since the clan and its members were extremely prodigious Assassins, especially in the way of Ninshu.

He looked up to his wife whose scrunched face stared at one specific document that caught her attention. Unbeknownst to him, Kushina used her gift to scan for hidden writings in the front before she turned the page to the back. There was nothing as well… except for the lower left corner.

"Minato, I got something."

"What is it?"

Kushina, with her gift still active, drew the image on a separate blank paper as best she could. She was never a good drawer and unfortunately her son also inherited that trait of hers as well. Luckily the Uzumaki matriarch was married to a man who knew her best.

Minato looked at the image. It was a bridge over a river while two identical towers stood on opposite sides of the same river. "Where have I seen that?" He pulled out a map of the Riverlands and placed it next to the drawing as he tried to match the landscape of the river. After making sure they matched, Minato pointed at the specific landscape. "Got it! Here."

Kushina looked at the Riverland map and saw the name of the castle. "The Twins. Seat and castle of House Frey." She sneered. The Freys' infamous reputation reached the shores of Essos, including their isolated home island and they never would associate with people like them. "What could they possibly want with them?"

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good especially with the Freys and the clan in play." Minato gave the documents to his wife who rolled up the documents before she put them atop a scroll.

"Fuin!" Kushina commanded with a single sign.

The documents disappeared in a puff of smoke and, when said smoke blew out, they were no longer there. Kushina had used her clan's specialty: Sealing Magic. Every clan in the Brotherhood holds a specialty and the Uzumaki Clan has the Sealing Magic as their prowess with the art attracted both fear and respect from almost all clans.

"We better go now." Minato said as Kushina agreed. They pulled their hoods over their heads before they walked down the stairs and through the sea of guests amidst their conversation about the War of the Five Kings, House Lannister in King's Landing and the various noble houses involved with them.

Their strides ended outside as they approached their horses when words reached their ears about the Northern army.

"Robb Stark is an idiot!"

"Shoo! Keep your voice down. You want to get hanged or something?"

Minato and Kushina turned around and approached the drunk men near a bonfire. "Who cares? The King in the North is a joke now! He lost half his forces after decapitating the Karstark lord and his army is now demoralized. And to make himself an even bigger fool, he and his army are heading to the Twins right now."

'What?' The Uzumakis asked with surprise.

With no time to spare, the duo ran to their horses and rode them north towards the Twins. As their steeds galloped through the road within the thick forests, both Minato and Kushina couldn't help but feel dread in both their spines.

Neither of them didn't notice the slight rustles of the trees behind them nor the shadows that caused them on the way.

(Hours Later)

Alongside the River Trident

The Riverlands, Westeros

Year 300 AC

Minato and Kushina urged their horses as the sun has set over the Westeros horizon and allowed the night to take over. Their ride was nonstop from their departure at the Crossroad Inn. They didn't eat nor rest with the sense of urgency rid them of those feelings.

"Minato? How long?"

Minato looked at Kushina and gauged the distance between their location to the very vague outline of the Twins that was far away from them. "We still have three miles to go!"

"I hope we get there in time."

"So do I."

And why was it getting hot all of the sudden?

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

Both Assassins snapped their heads to their rear as a massive orb of flames flew at them at an alarming speed. Minato was quick to react with a counter attack.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!"

A massive stream of water burst out of Minato's mouth before it hit the ground as the water rise up like a wall against the fireball. Both elements collided with each other before their opposing sides canceled each other. Both Minato and Kushina dismounted their horses while the smoke covered the area around them.

It wasn't long until the smoke cloud was blown away by a strong breeze, revealing the attacker. Two of them.

They wore black robes with streaks of red around their arm sleeves while the zippers were colored white along with the hemlines on the bottom. Like them, their attackers wore hoods sans the beak portion. The other difference between them was the lack of their left ring fingers.

"Traitors." Kushina muttered lowly.

One of the traitors scoffed loudly and spoke in turn. "Traitors? Says the one obeying those who betrayed us." She sounded like a female as she was shorter than her companion next to her.

Minato paused as he saw the symbol of the supposed dead clan that was present on both the traitors' chests. It was a fan with the top portion as white and the lower is white. These two are not just ordinary Assassins. They belong to one of the prominent clans in the history of their native homeland.

The Uchiha Clan. Their natural prowess in combat and incredible control of chakra was higher than most clans in the Brotherhood. At one time, the Uchiha had members as Mentors for consecutive generations due to their prowess and adherence to the Creed.

Over time, other clans began to produce members who can fight equal with an Uchiha such as the Senju Clan. There were three prominent clans that can fight equally with the Uchiha but only two remains active. The Hyuga Clan in the Faraway Lands and his clan, the Uzumaki Clan with his wife and son.

One of the intimidating characteristics of the Uchiha Clan was their gift which excelled beyond those of any Assassin who achieved it. Their eyes would turn red with black dots around their pupils and the battle turns on their enemy.

Eventually the Uchiha Clan members began to break the Creed by subduing the civilians of the Faraway Lands and fellow Assassins with their exceptionally enhanced visions. The three Mentors rallied the clans and fought against the Uchiha Clan. The streets of their land's capital, Akatsuki, flooded with the blood of many clan members both Uchiha and non-Uchiha like the Senju and Uzumaki.

The battle ended with the near extinction of the Senju and Uzumaki Clan who happened to be distantly related through a common ancestor over the centuries. The end results were the extinction of the oppressive Uchiha Clan who revolted against the Brotherhood and committed atrocities against their people.

"We will persevere. The Uchiha Clan will arise again." The male spoke for the first time. He pulled out a regular kunai and brandished the blade in front of his enemies. "And neither of you will stop us."

Minato sighed solemnly as he never wanted to fight one of their own. "We will with all our might." He said before he drew his own kunai while Kushina drew her sword like her female enemy who drew a katana, a weapon from their homeland.

The quartet charged at each other before they clashed their blades for a moment before they separated to the nearby areas where they could keep eyes on one another. Minato clashed with the male Uchiha several times as amidst the small burning grass that lighted their small battlefield.

"You cannot win, Assassin!" The Uchiha declared as he pushed Minato to the ground after he tripped on a root. "Here it comes!" He raised his kunai but Minato swept his legs under him to fell his body to the ground.

Both men flipped off the ground at the same time as they disengaged their weapons and entered a round of fisticuffs. The Uchiha landed good blows to the Mentor but to his surprise he too was hit by several counter punches in response despite his enhanced vision.

The enhanced vision, which others called it and the Hyuga Clan's own exceptional enhanced visions as mutations, was called the Sharingan in their native tongue. It means 'Copy Wheel Eye', lettering to the pinwheel-like pupils in their changed eyes and the fact they could predict their enemies' movements before one could make it.

To the Uchiha male, he was surprised by the Assassin's capability to counter his attacks along with his quick reflexes evidenced by their reaction to his Katonjutsu.

Minato back-flipped several times while he threw shuriken at the Uchiha. The former Assassin drew his tanto and deflected them all as Minato prepared an attack of his own. "Septendecim spiritus fulguralist, countes. Sagitta Magica, Series Fulguralis!"

"Sagitta Magica, Series Ignis!"

Volleys of fire and lightning chakra arrows shot of the two male Assassins' hands as they clashed against each other. A brief flash of yellow and red lights illuminated the battlefield and caught the female's attention briefly before they continued their own fight.

Kushina clashed against the female Uchiha with their blades several times before she pushed with her surprising strength. From the sound of her surprised gasp, the Uchiha female was caught off-guard as Kushina continued to push her towards a tree. The katana-wielding Uchiha saw the tree and disengaged briefly as she ran up the tree and flipped over Kushina after her sword missed her.

Landing behind her, the Uchiha swing her katana at Kushina's back but it was in vain as the Uzumaki blocked it with her sword without looking back. Kushina shoved the blade off as she turned around and continued the offensive with her sword.

Twirling her blade to the ground before a moment between them paused, the Uchiha tackled Kushina down a small slope as they rolled until their bodies reached the bank of the river while they dropped their bladed weapons.

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

Unlike the massive fireball earlir, Kushina saw a continuous stream of flames heading towards her. She clapped her hands together and channeled chakra around her as wind began to rush around her body before her mouth shouted the incantation.

"Flans Paries Aerialis!"

The flamethrower forked around the Uzumaki Assassin as her wind element spell had formed a defensive shield around her. It held strong against the flames despite of its strengthening-factor towards the burning element. The female Uchiha have run behind the flamethrower for a chance of a sneak attack in the back and hopefully end the battle.

Imagine her surprise when her tanto stopped in its place from reaching Kushina's back.

"Nice try. Sagitta Magica, Aer Capturae!" Kushina shorthanded the incantation as arrows of wind quickly bind the Uchiha's limbs to prevent escape. "Now let's see who you are, traitor." She dispelled the shield to approach her enemy and reached out for the hood.

Suddenly her gift activated as the color of her enemy was different. It had no color at all. With widened eyes, Kushina ducked just as a blade swung above before she countered with a back kick to the stomach and send the real Uchiha a few feet away from her.

The Uzumaki matriarch looked back at the close Uchiha to find its existence was no more. "An illusion. Trademark of the Sharingan." She changed her glance at her downed enemy who gasped for air and winced with each intake while her gift remained active.

"With just a single kick, she broke my ribs! How strong is she?!" The Uchiha female coughed harshly as she looked up to see Kushina extend her main Hidden Blade.

As each footstep brought her closer, Kushina brandished her Hidden Blade but she flipped backwards to avoid a fireball from roasting her. From the smoke came the opponent her husband was fighting earlier as he swung his tanto at her and she blocked the small with her Hidden Blade.

Their clash didn't last long as Minato had jumped from a tree and channeled pure chakra into his right palm. He stretched out his right hand aimed at the Uchiha who was fighting his wife. "Rasengan!"

The bank exploded with a small quake as a sandy cloud covered the land and the four Assassins. Both Uchihas readied themselves but their alarmed bodies relaxed when their enemies were no longer to be seen in front of them. Most likely they used the sandy cloud as cover to escape and assist the Northern army.

"They've escaped." The female Uchiha wheezed out before she fell to her knees.

Her male counterpart carried her in his arms as he channeled chakra in his hands for a healing spell. He heard a moan from his close companion and that told him of the spell's immediate effects. "That is the difference between us and them. They are weak for protecting the weak, those who are not us. This is the reason why we will win."

"Yes…"

The two Uchiha then left the area that marked the first hidden battleground of the Assassins.

The Twins

The Riverlands, Westeros

Year 300 AC

The dreadful feeling both Assassins felt during their ride north was justified as they watched an unbelievable sight that neither of them had ever seen before.

The Northern army were being slaughtered by men clad in black crude armor and tunics. They bored the sigils of a flayed red man held upside on a white X-shaped cross on a black background and two stone grey towers with the bridge of the Twins.

House Frey and House Bolton have betrayed the Starks and their army.

"Such slaughter…" Kushina muttered in disbelief. She was really glad her son wasn't here with them to see such display of carnage and treachery. He may be an adult but to her Naruto will always be her baby boy she gave birth on the ship that night.

"…"

"Minato?"

"The Starks are probably dead." Minato had eyes of steel as they focused on one of the towers. "But not the betrayers."

Kushina cracked her knuckles as she dismounted her horse along with her husband before they ran into the chaos. The Freys and Boltons were so much in glee for killing every Northmen they could find, they didn't notice their presence.

The Uzumaki Assassins however wouldn't let them do that anymore.

Minato saw a Northman being dragged by a Bolton and Frey who laughed the entire time and changed his direction. When the men looked back, their eyes caught sight of him before they were taken by his Hidden Blades. With a grunt, he pulled back his hands to drop the bodies as the Northman stared at him with fear.

Retracting his Hidden Blades, Minato offered him a hand. "Do you want to live?"

"Yes." The Northman answered without hesitation. He accepted the hand as Minato pulled him up while holding a sword in his other hand.

"Your name?"

"Gared. Gared of House Tuttle." The young boy of fifteen nameday answered. He was strong but not overly big as his body looked to be the perfect balance between speed and strength. His attire was that of a squire with House Forrester's sigil on his chest.

"Gared. Let's save your brethren."

Gared nodded as he swung his sword at incoming Boltons but his strikes were blocked. The Boltons smirked at him until their heads were blown off by a glowing sphere of power around the hooded man's hands. Gared stood back as he stared at the hooded Minato.

A Frey ran towards them behind Gared but he was crudely intercepted by Kushina when she tackled him to the ground. A scream echoed as he charged at the hooded woman but his attacks were sloppy compared to Kushina's honed reflexes.

"Go to sleep." Was what Kushina said before she lashed out with a dart thrown into the Frey's face. She pulled taunt of the connected rope as the Frey's face was ripped off afterwards while the body fell to the ground.

Their actions did not go unnoticed as surviving Northmen flocked to their area to join ranks but that also meant the Freys and Boltons were on their way as well.

After a good fifty men flocked to their spot, Minato clapped his hands with Kushina next to him. "Sweetie, put up a barrier." He charged chakra to his feet as his body began to lose visibility much to the Northmen's surprise.

"What's happening to him?" Gregor asked while his son Rodrick and recently knighted Gared.

Gregor was of his late forties in namedays as he bore his House's armor and wielded a greatsword in his hands. On the crossguard of the weapon was his House's sigil, indicating its ancestral and valuable status. His son Rodrick had similar light brown hair sans white strands and wore armor as well as he wielded a longsword.

"What he does best." Kushina replied while she put up an invisible barrier around them as her husband winked at her. "Be careful."

"You too." Minato's eyes glared at the approaching horde of Boltons and Freys alike as he wielded his tri-bladed kunai in both hands. "Raisoku Shundo!"

All the fighting men saw was a flash of lightning coursed around the man's body before he vanished from their eyes. They saw streaks of lightning coursed around the battlefield and the men belonging to House Bolton and House Frey fall to the ground with their heads slit or cut off by the lightning.

The tides were turning on the Freys and Boltons on what would have been known as the Red Wedding in Westeros.

FSTFxFSTFxFSTF

"Robb! Robb!" Catelyn Stark cried out for her eldest son. She was an elderly woman with long brown hair as she adorned ceremonial dress appropriate for her brother's wedding. She never expected this to happen. She knew the consequences would be dire but nothing like this.

The Boltons and Freys not only betrayed them but also broke the guest rules of Westeros. No doubt this deed would deem them the lowest of lowest scum throughout the lands.

Her son and King in the North, Robb held his dying wife as she gasped for air. Her life was fading every second despite him managing to stop the bleeding from her swollen stomach. Their unborn child on the other hand was lost forever.

"You Starks and your honor." Catelyn looked at Walder Frey with disgust. He was a very old man with black messy clothes, white hair around the back of his head and a smug smile. "You shouldn't have broken our agreement, King in the North." He sneered as the words were poisoned.

"R-Robb…" Talisa muttered before her last breath escaped her lips.

"Talisa."

Disgusted by the display, a shaved man of thirty summers in black clothes with the House Bolton sigil on his chest approached the downed couple with a dagger. "The Lannisters send their regards." Roose Bolton declared as he brought down his dagger at the King in the North's head.

Catelyn wailed in anguish before she killed Walder's wife and stood catatonic as her own throat was slit and fell to the ground.

Roose and Walder shared sinister smiles at their accomplishment. It didn't last long as one of the Bolton soldiers ran through the door as he screamed, "Lighting Demon! Lighting Demon!"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Roose asked, clearly irritated.

His answer arrived in the form of a lightning streak circling around the grand hall. He saw both his and Frey's men fall to the ground including the archers above Walder. A crackle popped behind him and Roose turned around to see a hooded man covered with yellow lightning around his entire body.

"Who are you?" Roose Bolton asked with little fear.

"…" Minato lashed out with his Hidden Blade as Roose's throat was slit, his blood gushing out like a waterfall. He turned around to look at the clearly stunned Walder Frey and appeared right next to him before the latter could react as Minato grabbed his head and slammed it on the table.

"Ah!"

"Who told you to kill the Starks?!"

"Fuck you! I'm telling you nothing!"

Minato didn't like that answer so he stabbed his Hidden Blade into Walder's arm as he screamed in pain. "You have five seconds before you lose your other arm."

"Never!" Walder defied despite the food in his nose.

Nodding, Minato pulled back and stabbed the Frey's right arm with his Blade. "Feel like talking yet?"

"No!"

"Very well." Minato retracted his wrist blade as he formed a Rasengan in his left palm. He brought his signature attack close to Walder's face. "Your face is going to look like this if you do not tell me."

His eyes switching between the hole in the table and the glowing sphere of power, Walder finally relented. "All right, all right!" The surviving Forrester soldiers accompanied by Kushina had arrived at this point. "It was Lannister! Tywin Lannister!"

The survivors bannermen stood there in utter shock while Kushina cursed under her mouth.

"Thank you…" Walder smirked at being left alive at the fool's apparent mercy. "Now good bye." Minato extended his right Hidden Blade through the Frey's neck, ending his reign. He dissipated his Rasengan as he stared at the dead bodies of the Starks that is Robb, Catelyn and Talisa.

"We need to take them with us." Gregor stated firmly as Minato looked at him. "They were our lords for centuries."

Lord Gregor of House Forrester and their bannermen along with the Uzumakis rode on the surviving horses they could find as they head to safety for now and then to the city stronghold and ancestral seat of Ironwrath.

"Absolutely not!"

"Brother, please-"

"I will hear nothing of it! Do you hear me?!"

"No, you are not going to silence me!"

Outside the small throne room, Rhaenys along with her uncle Oberyn and remaining cousins including Trystane stood as they continue to hear the screaming match between Elia and Doran about the former's latest decision revolving around Westeros politics.

"Elia, I forbid it!"

"That's it. I'm going in." Oberyn decided to intervene in case things would get out of hand.

Rhaenys and her cousins reluctantly followed their uncle and father in case of Obara and Nymeria in the room where Oberyn stood next to his older sister.

"Brother please calm down. There's no need for such volume."

"Yes, there is. Or have you not listened to the news at the Twins?!"

Rhaenys grimaced along with Trystane. The entire House Martell were shocked to hear the massacre at the Twins and the dead bodies of Roose Bolton and Walder Frey along with their armies. There were some reports of a lightning demon incinerating the Boltons and Freys for their act to kill the Starks and their bannermen during Edmure Tully's wedding.

"I have. And I just got word that Tywin Lannister was behind the attempt."

"How?"

"…Kushina was there. She and her husband intervened to save the Starks." Oberyn held up the parchment that had Kushina's writing as he gave it to his brother who read the contents. "Right now they are with the remaining remnants of House Forrester, heading north."

"North? Why?" Elia asked with clear worry.

"They're going to take back Winterfell from Theon Greyjoy."

"Preposterous!" Doran said in disbelief. "The Ironborn occupy Winterfell and they number in the hundreds. What is their number?"

"500."

"Oh…I see. Well, I commend Kushina and her husband for their acts to save House Forrester." Doran looked at the parchment once again. "However, this means House Stark is powerless. Sansa Stark is captive in King's Landing with the dwarf as her husband. No doubt Tywin will use her to produce an heir to inherit the North."

Elia stepped forward. "Which is why I should engage in politics, brother. I want to help save our realm, the same realm my husband died for."

"The same husband who left you for another woman and started Robert's Rebellion." Oberyn sneered at the mention of Rhaegar.

Doran glared at his younger brother. "Oberyn, tread lightly. Despite his actions, he was and still is family to our dear Elia and Rhaenys." Oberyn's expression softened before he sent an apologetic look at his beloved sister and niece. "Elia…I worry for you every day. I won't send you to the lion's den alone."

Elia shook her head. "I won't be alone. Not if I have someone protecting me."

"You mean one of the Uzumakis? They are far north and their son is with Daenerys Targaryen in Essos."

"As much as I want to want either of them by my side, I was actually talking about Oberyn." Elia said as her younger brother looked at her slightly surprised. "Besides Kushina, there's no one better to be my side than you brother."

Both sister and brother shared a hug before they separated to look upon their eldest brother who have a look of serious contemplation.

"I will think about this but for now, let's celebrate the end of this year and enjoy the coming of the new."

The Martells nodded as they left their lord for the outside where their people were decorating for the upcoming festival to Year's End, an ancient festival set by the Rhyonar when they set foot in Westeros during the Age of Heroes. They celebrate the end of one year and give offerings to the Seven along with their gods of their own culture.

House Lannister may be in control of Westeros with the backing of House Tyrell of Highgarden, but the spear and the sun of House Martell will eviscerate the lion and burn the rose for vengeance of one of their own and the infamous Red Wedding.

Yunkai

Slaver's Bay, Essos

Year 300 AC

Daenerys walked around the liberated city with her Queensguard at her back. The word Mysha was repeated as mantra from the former slaves. It meant 'mother' in the language of Ghiscari. They had their arms out as their heads bowed to her whenever she passed through a route and she in turn smiled at them.

Her Queensguard although weary were proud of their queen's accomplishment. Barristan on the other hand was not amused by something or someone.

"Where is he?"

Jorah looked at the legendary knight. "Who do you speak of?"

"Whose absence is noticeable right now?"

"Ah. I see."

"He should be by his queen's side to protect her, not gallivant in a hostile city." Barristan chastised. His queen glanced at him after his words.

"Former hostile city, Ser Barristan." Daenerys corrected her knight before she assumed an irritated expression. "But you are correct about him. Naruto's a Queensguard member and his place is by my side along with all of you."

Tyene spoke after a few moments. "I know where he is, Your Grace." All eyes were glued onto her suddenly. "He's enjoying the sky."

"What do you mean?" Daenerys asked. "Lead us."

With a small nod, Tyene led her queen and fellow Queensguard to one of the prominent structures of Yunkai. It was stationed in the center of a plaza where majority of the slaves flocked around to pass to other parts of the city. The structure was a massive statue of a naked woman with bare large breasts as her head was arched upwards with her tongue out.

And crouching on the tip of the tongue was none than Naruto.

"Well he's bold. Bolder than you, Ser Barristan." Jorah joked while Barristan rolled his eyes.

Daenerys stared at her Queensguard member before she called him by name. She saw what was a nod of sorts as Naruto stood straight and had his arms out to the side.

"Oh, there's something you should know about Naruto and high places." Tyene said as she remembered a defining quality about the Uzumaki.

Daenerys looked at Tyene. "What's that?" The Sand pointed at the structure as Jorah and Barristan shouted in alarm. She looked back in time to see her hooded friend free-falling to the ground and thought he was going to die.

Until she saw him landed in a big bundle of haystack.

"Hey there!" Naruto called out cheerily after he got out of the haystack. What he got was an infuriated Daenerys who stomped over to him. "Uh oh, what did I do wrong?" He asked genuinely confused.

"ARE YOU INSANE?!"

Naruto thought about it a moment. "I've been called that here and there in my life but no."

"Why did you leap off that statue?!" Barristan asked, clearly angry at his action.

"Why are you upset?" Naruto asked as he was still confused. Their eyes gestured to the tower and himself until he realized it. "Oh right. You've never seen me do a Leap of Faith before."

Jorah blinked as he dug into his ear to clear out. "Leap of what?"

"Leap of Faith. It's an acrobatic move my people and I use to escape pursuers or…" Naruto pointed at the tower. "To get down from tall structures like that. Now that you all know except Tyene since she knew about it before, expect me to do that time to time."

"No." Daenerys flatly refused.

Naruto blinked owlishly. "Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"I am your queen and I demand you cease it."

Naruto glowered at her. "It's not like I'm going to leap off every tall building I see. I'm not suicidal." He walked with Daenerys and the Queensguard on the way to the encampment. "Sometimes I feel as if you don't trust me."

"You're accusing your queen?" Jorah sneered at him.

Naruto glanced at Jorah. "I'm questioning a friend who happens to be a queen." He looked at Daenerys. "There will be times I may have to use that. It's part of my training. My mother and father learned it in their training as well. It's part of me."

"…" Daenerys stayed silent for several moments. "I don't want to use one of my people who can help me claim the Iron Throne."

"One of your people? I'm touched." Naruto joked as he and Daenerys chuckled along with the rest of the Queensguard. "It's almost that time as well." He said off-handedly.

"What?" Tyene asked as she walked behind him.

"The Year's Solstice. A holiday in the Faraway Lands to celebrate the old year and welcome the new one. In five days, it'll happen over there." Naruto said solemnly. "Every year, my parents and I celebrate it together. This is the first time we'll spend it alone."

Tyene stayed silent as did Daenerys until a loud screech caught their attention to the sky. Naruto looked up to see his father's eagle, Ken, flying towards him and raised his arm to allow landing. "Ken? How are you?"

Ken chirped softly as he nuzzled against Naruto's finger. Daenerys and her Queensguard stared at the avian creature with wonder as Ken's fur color was as mesmerizing as Fuka's and he looked powerful. Naruto grabbed the rolled-up parchment while Ken took off for the sky to play with Fuka as he read the contents within.

His eyes scanned the words and dread filled the Uzumaki after he finished reading it. "My god."

"What is it?" Barristan asked with concern.

Naruto turned around to face the Targaryen entourage. "I'll tell you when we're back at the camp. This must stay between us."

Daenerys nodded as they left for the encampment in a faster. "Then let us hurry."

Once they reached Daenerys's tent and closed the flaps to ensure privacy, Naruto looked at the people in front of them before he spoke of the contents of his father's message.

"…There was a wedding in Westeros. It was between Edmure of House Tully and Roslin of House Frey to secure an alliance between Walder Frey and Robb Stark."

"What about it?" Daenerys asked.

"Roose Bolton and Walder Frey betrayed the Starks and killed almost of their bannerman outside the Twins. Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark and Talisa Stark are dead. The North is lost along with Winterfell. It's known as the Red Wedding."

Jorah and Barristan looked at each other with stunned expressions. Then it was replaced with anger. It was not for House Stark but for the traitorous Houses who violated guest rules which was considered most sacred in all of Westeros.

Daenerys was shocked as well. The Starks may have a hand in the ousting of her family, but she would never stoop so low like the Freys and Boltons. Even her ancestor Aegon would have never done such thing to anyone he knew unless they did not bend the knee or defy him.

"The Freys are many things but I never thought they'd do this." Barristan sneered. "When we step foot in Westeros, I'll take all their heads."

Naruto chuckled in agreement. "I'd agree with you Ser Barristan if it wasn't for my father." Puzzled eyes met his own. "He killed them personally. Both Roose and Walder including most of the men in their Houses along with my mother."

"Your mother?" Tyene asked with surprise. She was starting to like Naruto's family the more she learns about them including the heir.

"Yep."

That was when Daenerys remembered something about the Northern army. "Naruto…" She called as he looked at her. "You said most of the Northern army are dead. Did your parents…"

"Yes." Naruto answered honestly. "My parents managed to save a Northern House whose loyalty laid with the Starks. They produce and hoard large amounts of ironwood for the North and the Crown. I believe they're the Forrester. House Forrester."

"House Forrester?" Jorah asked incredulously. "Are you sure?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why would my father lie, Jorah?" He looked at the parchment with a solemn expression. "I can't imagine what my parents saw that night. I'll bet my mother was glad that I did not go there with them."

"No parent wants their child to see the horrors of chaos and carnage." Barristan said softly.

"Aye." Both Naruto and Jorah agreed.

Tyene noticed the pensive look on Naruto and knew that he wasn't done. "There's something isn't there?" A nod came from the Uzumaki. "What is it?"

"The Freys would have never done something like this." Naruto said fact of matter. "Not if someone backed them up. Someone powerful."

Barristan nodded in agreement. "Aye, but who would warrant such acts of treachery and betrayal?"

"Luckily my father found that out in his 'talk' with Walder Frey before he died." Naruto stated before he gave the parchment to Barristan.

He read it and his calm face took another bout of controlled fury. "Tywin Lannister."

"I knew the Lannister were ruthless but I never thought Tywin would condone something like this." Jorah mused.

Tyene scoffed. "He's a Lannister all right. They don't care who they trample on if it's going to give them victory at any cost."

"Which brings up a hidden opportunity here." Naruto said as he looked at Daenerys once more. "House Martell is on your side, Daenerys. That is the South. House Forrester is in the North and my parents managed to save most of their warriors from the massacre."

"How many?" Daenerys asked, hoping for a big number to add to her ranks.

"500 men including some stragglers from other Northern Houses who managed to escape with my parents."

Jorah rubbed his chin in contemplation. "Not a large number."

"But that would be 500 more men Daenerys will have than yesterday." Naruto countered. "It's your call." He told Daenerys.

"… Leave me. I need time to think about this. Ser Barristan and Jorah, stay here."

Naruto and Tyene gave respectful nods before they left the tent to leave the matter to the trio. The Uzumaki and Sand walked to the former's sleeping space which happened to be under the stars. It was marked by several sticks accompanied by a firestone and clear view of the setting sun.

A series of chirps signaled Fuka and Ken's arrival as they landed on a broken stump with thick roots.

"Make yourselves home, you two." Naruto told his aviary companions as Tyene sat across from him on the ground. "You as well, Tyene."

Tyene nodded. "Thank you." She saw Naruto pull his water sack and held it out for her. "A gentleman. I'm touched." She teased.

"Manners that my mother made sure to instill in me regarding people…especially ladies." Naruto muttered as he opened another water pouch and drank a sip. "Lessons I'm grateful for even if they hurt at the time."

"You mean?"

Naruto nodded. "Yep, she beat me until I got the lessons through my thick, stubborn head. Not my fault I inherited it from her." He muttered as Tyene giggled behind her hand. "What about you?"

"Me?"

"What was your childhood like?"

Tyene have a somber but gentle expression as she set the pouch down next to her. "It was fun. In Dorne, we're an expressive kind of people and bastards are not looked down upon unlike most of Westeros." She smiled a little. "Growing up with my sisters, cousins, Aunt Elia, Uncle Doran and my parents…it was the best time of my life."

"Then life's challenges hit you and all of the sudden you're drawn into an endless struggle." Naruto said afterwards as Tyene was surprised by his words.

"Yes, and your innocence is stripped away from you. Makes you hardened and find joy in battles and fights."

Naruto shook his head. "Not necessarily, Tyene." The Sand looked at him initiatively. "There are many obstacles in one's lives which can take us to different paths depending on our choices. Like me following in my parents and you being a fighter like your father. We made choices that connected us together."

"Really now?"

"If my mother hadn't save your aunt and cousin as did I years later, I never would've met you and your sisters, Princess Rhaenys, Prince Trystane, Daenerys, Ser Barristan, Jorah, even that Daario guy…" He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm blessed."

Tyene smiled at him before she switched her seat for one next to him. "Me too. I met you which was best for me."

"Now I'm the one who's touched." Naruto chuckled with Tyene. He looked up at the sky and sighed contently as he leaned against the log that acted as their support. "I've always loved watching the stars since boyhood. They're like diamonds which always seemed out of reach from your grasp. They are the one thing no man or woman can ever have in their possession."

Tyene smiled. "I thought I was the only person who thought like that." Naruto looked at her with surprise. "Do you like a woman?"

"I like my mother."

Both young adults laughed at the unexpected joke as Tyene couldn't control herself and fell to her side on the ground while Naruto struggled to keep his mouth. It lasted a couple minutes before the laughter ceased and the two sat next to each other with their eyes on the starry night.

Neither of them seemed to notice each other's close presence with each other…such as Tyene's head on Naruto's left shoulder. And neither one seemed to mind it at all.

Red Keep, King's Landing

The Crownlands, Westeros

Year 300 AC

Tywin Lannister sat in his comfortable seat within his comfortable office inside the Tower of the Hand. A small goblet of silver filled with wine sat graciously by his fingers before they guided it to his lips as he sipped a good portion.

He was filled with satisfaction as not only the Starks are dead but also the Freys and Boltons. Originally, he was going to promote the two Houses as Noble and Great House in the case for the Boltons, but whoever killed them gave him less players to handle with later. He never intended to give the Boltons complete control of the North and once his imp of a son impregnates the Stark girl to birth an heir, the Lannisters will have complete dominion of Westeros.

Still even as he sat in his seat, the lion was troubled by the complete decimation of the armies of the Boltons and Freys including their lords. This marks the first time he's ever been worried about the unknown party who intervened and saved House Forrester along with most of its men.

No doubt they'll try to rally with the rest of the Northern Houses to defend themselves from the southern army.

"Fret not, my old friend. I thought the lion doesn't worry himself over loose ends."

Tywin glanced from his cup to the stranger who made himself present before him…right in front of his table. He had short brown hair that reached his shoulders and onyx-colored eyes with visible creases below them to show his stern expression as he wore a white tunic with loose pants, weird sandals while a logo of a paper fan with the upper part being red and the bottom as white was sewed onto his left shoulder sleeve.

Despite his hardened training and experience in war, the lion of House Lannister was still impressed and somewhat wary by his friend's unparalleled ability in stealth and infiltration.

He found him and his pregnant wife not too long after the beginning of Robert's Rebellion's on the shores of Casterly Rock. He gave them shelter and food but in return he wanted their loyalty as recompense for his gesture. He remembered the moment his friend displayed his color-changing eyes on a man who refused an order and drove him insane to death.

"That is true but I feel you have something to tell me." Tywin asked. "What is it?"

"We ran into…complications."

"Such as?"

"Two of my people were there." The man noticed the slight visible upset brow from the Lannister as he continued. "My wife and I intercepted them to let the massacre reached its peak but they managed to escape from us. That's why House Forrester managed to escape."

"It doesn't matter now. House Forrester is a minor House at best so they can't threaten our combined armies." Tywin stated sternly. "Although the mention of your people has intrigued me. Are they like you?"

"*Scoff* No one is like us. We are superior to them."

"You better be."

"I am."

Both men stared at each other until Tywin had a very small smirk at the edge of his mouth as he poured wine in a separate cup and slid it across the table. His guest and friend picked it up before he drank a big sip after they both gave appreciation nods to each other.

"Your efforts in the Red Wedding are commendable. I intend to reward you and your family unlike those who massacred your kin for your beliefs."

"Such as?"

"How does the title 'Lord Paramount' sound to you, Fugaku?"

Fugaku smiled deviously which was shared by his Westerosi counterpart as they shared simultaneous sips at their accomplishments.

Dragonstone Castle

Isle of Dragonestone, Blackwater Bay

The Crownlands, Westeros

Year 300 AC

The ancestral seat of House Targaryen stood as an impressive fortress with weird motifs such as dragon-shaped gargoyles. It served as home to Aegon the Conqueror, his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, and their small army before the Conquest. After the conquest, it became a hereditary seat for the heir of House Targaryen and its title for said heir is 'Prince of Dragonstone'.

After Robert's Rebellion and the ousting of House Targaryen, it became the land and seat of Stannis Baratheon, Robert's younger brother. It was also the base of operations for House Baratheon of Dragonstone's army, their lord and the Red Priestess known as Melisandre.

There was one rumor about the Dragonstone Castle relating to the dragons. After the last dragon's birthing nest, it was said the eggs were hoarded and guarded by Targaryen soldiers in a vault. However, none of the eggs hatched before and during the Mad King's reign and they became fossilized over time.

Stannis however did not want any remnants of the former royal House due to his failure to kill Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen and said failure strained his relationship with Robert after the war. He ordered the vault to be breached and all eggs to be destroyed.

It was better ordered than the act committed as the vault breaching took four years just before the War of the Five Kings commenced. It was the Valyrian advanced stonemasonry that gave the Baratheon men exceedingly difficult time.

Tonight, however, marked the fruit of their labor. They had finally breached the vault and commenced the second part of their orders.

The eggs were shattered on the vault ground and the hidden tapestry of House Targaryen inside shredded by Baratheon swords and spears.

All objects except one.

A lone Baratheon soldier ran outside the gates towards the rendezvous point he planned with a sellsail merchant to leave Dragonstone and Westeros all together. Both men have heard about the immense value of fossilized dragon eggs being more worth than priceless jewels except for exceptionally cut jewels.

"I got it! And this one's a beauty!" The Baratheon called out to his merchant friend.

The merchant didn't look pleased when he heard the number. "Only one? The plan was for three at most. We'd be set for life and out of this forsaken country."

"The soldiers got there before I could so one was all I could manage. But we can raise the price when we sell it." He set the cloth-covered egg in the center of the boat before he set his leg inside. "Boy, I can't wait to-"

The Baratheon gasped before he gagged as blood splattered from his slit throat. The smirking sellsail watched his partner fall back on the sandy beach before he pushed his small boat until it floated on the ocean. "Sorry but I never intended to share from the beginning." He opened the cloth slightly and smirked ominously as the color was mesmerizing. "I'm going to be a very rich man in Essos."

He rowed his small boat back to the hidden anchored ship, boarded it and set sail east to Essos with his men.

"Captain, where should we go?" One of his men asked as the apparent captain mused loudly before he answered him.

"Meeren sounds good."

Raucous laughter thundered the ship as their destination was made clear while their captain was going to be a rich man. The crew worked their positions with hearty laughs, jokes and the occasional rumbles over who is best in either warfare or sleeping with a married woman.

None of them including the captain noticed the cloth-covered egg moved in the slightest hint nor the knowledge of whose destiny will change for someone in Essos.

Naruto hummed loudly as he was relaxed after busy preparation for the Year's End festival. He always intended to celebrate the holiday but this time it will be with the people he met this year. At first, Daenerys was reluctant but Barristan convinced her to celebrate the holiday with Naruto and to let him cook his native land's meals.

Thank goodness, his mother taught him their clan's Fuuinjutsu before his training's completion or he wouldn't have been able to feed the entire Targaryen army. Also, he was thankful for her teaching him how to cook their native land's meals.

It took him and his clones all of five days to prepare the festival and the food. All the hard work paid off as a plate bull, goat and fish cut up in weird shapes were displayed around Daenerys's tent. Naruto explained the different foods and their unique nutritional intake.

Naruto stepped forward. "In my homeland, the Faraway Lands as you all know it such as, the Year's Solstice is a time to enjoy the lasting year with family." The dragons and eagles chirped and screeched in unison. "Comrades whom we made through conflict." Daario raised a cup in appreciation. "And new friends made along the way."

Daenerys nodded with her Queensguard as they held drinks full of sake in their hands. Naruto raised his own cup and everyone followed his motion.

"We say goodbye to this year and welcome the new." Naruto spoke, "May we enter the new year and accomplish great things with our friends, comrades and family as we journey through the unknown to support Daenerys Targaryen."

A soft collective of proud shouts came from the Targaryen entourage.

"May the feast begin!" Daenerys and her Queensguard plus Daario and Grey Worm soon were enjoying the unusual food and drink of the Faraway Lands. "Good fortune to you all." Naruto said to his friends.

"Likewise." Barristan replied.

Tyene nodded as she raised her cup. "Same here. I still can't believe you can cook. All men I know don't cook at all."

"You have my mother to thank for that." Naruto answered as he took a couple pieces of bull and goat. "She once told me that to capture a woman, you must learn how to cook."

"Really?" Tyene asked as she liked the sound of that. She smiled at Naruto who returned with his own. Daenerys looked between them with a raised curious brow.

Jorah also noticed her slight glance and approached his queen. "Is there something the matter?"

"No." Daenerys answered quickly. "Nothing at all, Ser Jorah." She grabbed a piece of bull and eat it before a wave of deliciousness washed over her. "Oh wow. This is incredible."

Daario nodded in agreement after he took a big chunk out of his meal. "No kidding, Your Grace." He looked at Naruto who drank a cup of sake. "Hey!" Naruto exchanged glances with him. "Tomorrow, you and I fight."

Naruto gave a thumbs-up before he continued with his meals while Barristan regaled him with his war stories in Westeros. Tyene steered her way next to Naruto's side as she too listened to the legendary knight's battles in his youth.

Neither of them seem to notice the sneaky glances that Daenerys gave at their close proximities of each other, but her dragons did. They seemed worried about the subtle weird vibe the dragons felt from their mother but their attention was drawn away by the delicious aroma of Naruto's food as their separate portions were placed in front of them by Naruto himself.

The Assassin chuckled at the dragons before he gave a special portion to the eagles who thanked him with a chirp. He walked back to Barristan and Tyene as they soon engaged in conversation with each other.

Today they would celebrate the year and all their accomplishments. Tomorrow the new year will begin and Daenerys's liberation of Slaver's Bay will continue with the city of Meeren as the final target and hopefully Westeros shortly afterwards.

END OF CHAPTER

And done! This chapter took quite a while to write. For some reason, my laptop wouldn't save the progress every time. So, I have had to write it a couple times until I fixed the problem. Luckily it worked and all my work is saved and finished. So, the exiled clan is none other than the Uchiha Clan. I have many things planned for the Uzumaki Clan and Uchiha Clan.

Westeros will start get in the story as House Forrester stars in the story as well. This will include the Tell-Tale series and locations like Ironwrath and characters like Mira Forrester and Asher in Essos. Another character from the Naruto series will appear in the story next chapter.

And the poll on my profile is now closed. I thank the people for their votes.

I hope you all enjoyed the new chapter and please review after you are done. Have a great week and month.

Chapter III's Q&A:

Robdor Peltan (Aug 27): He will be slightly more than the average knight. His skills will only continue to increase as the story progresses.

Dipsyy (Aug 27): Yeah, but we will have to wait and see if it reaches that point. You know what I mean?

Perseus12 (Aug 27): I hope you liked the new chapter. I was conflicted to either let the Red Wedding happen or intervene entirely. The Liberation of Slaver's Bay will continue in the next chapter. There will be more sellswords companies appearing in the story like Windblown to fight Daenerys's Unsullied along the way towards Meeren.

Jebest4781 (Aug 27): Thank you. I appreciate your luck. I hope you enjoyed it and your next chapter will be posted.

Vizard890 (Aug 27): So, it looks like it. Although it doesn't seem that Tyene will let him go easily as evidenced in the new chapter.

Blaze1991 (Aug 27): What are you confused about? Is it about their exile or escape to Essos? The identity?

TheBlackEntity (Aug 28): We will have to wait and see as the story progresses. Sorry to tease you though.

Vampwalker709 (Aug 28): No problem. Did you enjoy the newest chapter?

R-king 93 (Aug 28): I am happy that you are pleased with the progress of each relationship. I want to make them gradual instead of rushing…like season seven did with Jon and Daenerys.

Apedreitor (Aug 28): Do you mean like 'Previously on For Storm that Follows…' and the last scene rewritten as flashbacks like NCIS and such? Is that what you are talking about? I will think about it. Thank you for the suggestion.

LordXeenTheGreat (Aug 28): Thank you. Did you enjoy the latest chapter? Also, it looks like another dragon will appear in the story.

Seraph (Aug 28): That seems to be the notion lately. I'm…tempted to do so…but I want to try to keep it single. Who knows if I change my mind?

Frog (Aug 27): I listened to your review and I see your point. I hoped I changed things up here in the latest chapter regarding Naruto and his parents. If not and you don't want to read my story anymore, that is your decision. I can only hope you stay on as a reader.

12345 (Aug 28): Yeah, I get annoyed by that too. Not just in the NarutoxGOT category but all other category as well except for Kenchi618's stories, The Engulfing Silence, and other authors I know who take their time with their characters. There's more to come in the next chapter with both Essos and Westeros.

Guest (Aug 28): The answer for that was the Uchiha Clan. Hopefully it wasn't anticlimactic for you when you read that part. I just hope you like the newest chapter.

BioHazard82 (Aug 28): Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. How was the newest chapter?

Kaiokenkaizer (Aug 28): Well I am using the canon as a guideline to help my story. There will be original content with elements of the canon.

Justbrowsingthestories (Aug 28): Well I hope to change that with Tyene starting in the latest chapter. There will be more come for the Targaryen entourage.

ExDaGod (Aug 28): Thank you. We will have to wait and see from here with the relationships.

Edward kizaru (Aug 28): Oh yeah. He'll have a rival. There's no doubt about that.

Alec-potter (Aug 28): I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. How is the newest chapter? There will be more encounters and challenges for the Assassins including the people around them. Minato and Kushina will start appearing more in future chapters but the story will remain focused on Naruto and company.

Kakakure (Aug 28): The Sand Snakes are good and all, but Tyene really caught my interest. I hope the balance with Minato, Kushina and Naruto remained well and stable. Elia and her daughter will start to get involve with politics to aid their friends albeit incognito for Rhaenys. There'll be more to come for Rhaenys.

Toile grant (Aug 28): You're welcome. How was the latest chapter?

Jgs237 (Aug 28): Glad to know I'm doing a good job so far. We will see about that.

Elchabon (Aug 28): Tyene will not be going without a fight, that's for sure. Thanks for the praise about the relationship between Naruto and Daenerys. She does not have chakra so she can't use Ninshu. The Inheritance Cycle is a good series though I haven't read the last one. I'll use that element with the bond. Thank you for the idea. He'll aid her in how to use magic.

The Uchiha Clan…I hope it wasn't anticlimactic and didn't make you get your hopes up. I was really hoping Cersei dies in season seven but now we have to wait a year and a half for the final season. Littlefinger thought when the tables were turned on and Arya slit his throat like a pro…epic.

Ex-StarBurn (Aug 28): Thank you very much for reading and supporting this story. I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter. We'll see about that.

Arthur Azevedo (Aug 28): You are welcome! I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter. Do you have any suggestions for the story?

Keyblade master cole (Aug 28): Are you talking about Viserion? He died in episode six of season seven by a thrown ice blade to the neck courtesy of the Night King. Did you enjoy the new chapter?

Antishyguy (Aug 29): Yeah and that's it. Who do you think will make it to the series' end?

Fox of Art (Aug 29): Who knows? An author's mind can change decisions so we'll have to wait and see. Hope you enjoyed the newest chapter?

AnimeIsLife0407 (Aug 29): Thank you for your praise and support for my story. I will work on the little grammar mistakes so thank you for pointing that out. There will be conflict between Tyene and Daenerys. Whenever time will let me, I will work on the story.

GoT Lover (Aug 29): Great to know you enjoy the story. Daenerys is pretty much a given in the category with Margaery as second. We will have to see the pairing as the story progresses but I'm sure you'll start to see hints here and there.

Calderoneric78 (Aug 30): That's very tempting but I was thinking something along the line of normal or perhaps something of the dual department. I'll consider it nonetheless. Thank you for the idea.

Guest (Aug 31): You are probably the first to suggest that. Did you enjoy the latest chapter?

JJP123 (Aug 31): Another hoping for NarutoxDaenerys pairing. I'm starting to get tempted here but again we will have to wait and see if it happens. If red, and since Daenerys's dragons had two sets of colors, what should be the secondary color? Do you have any other dual color schemes in mind? Did you enjoy the latest chapter?
