This goes out as an announcement to my many loyal and interested readers, though at the moment I'm sure some of you may be un-certain and impatient, that's entirely my fault and I'm sorry for that.

The reason for my lack up updating is due to a massive increase of work at Uni, I've had to deal with a multitude of Assignments as well as four upcoming exams, three of which are in the next 5 days. I'm making the promise now that the moment I return home from my final exam before my midyear break, I will be devoting myself entirely to the completion of the next chapter which will hopefully conclude business at Winterfell for a long while.

Those that have followed me as an author will have noticed a rather large update to one of my older stories, Silence of The Void, a purely Warhammer 40k story. This is only due to me happening upon a cache of old chapter thought lost on an old USB, I certainly do not plan to continue it over my current project. Despite this I do encourage you to give it a read if you are so inclined. If anyone takes a liking to it, you are more than welcome to adopt it and take it off of my hands.

Now, onto business. I have received many reviews and PM's after my last round of questions, almost entirely to do with the possible healing of Bran Stark. These reviews mostly claim that it would be impossible for Naruto to do, that he has no training in Medical ninjutsu despite the supplies and instructional materials left to him by Tsunade. These people clearly haven't been keeping up to date with the Manga and I urge them to do so.

SPOILER: If they had, they would have seen that Naruto was able to fully regrow and completely functional eye in Kakashi's left socket with only a touch to the face, not even the green glowy hands shit. That's some Jesus power right there. END SPOILER

Before I get too much further into the story itself I would like to open a small poll. I have received many, many suggestions for a pairing in the case of Naruto. I would like this concluded before I start getting into the thick of the story. I will give two Names only:

Arianne – Margaery

What I would like from you, my readers, is you suggestions and any reasoning's behind your choice or suggestions. Both Sansa Stark and Daenerys are both to be excluded, sorry for any who wished to see them with Naruto but for the story I plan to write the latter will not fit and the former is far too young.

A poll has also been put up on my profile (Hopefully, I've never attempted an official poll on this site before) so please let me know if it doesn't appear to be working.

One last small thing, with the amount of time I've been putting into simply planning the story as well as my Uni work, I've yet to find a 'look' for Naruto, the armour he will wear. If anyone can find an image for me to use as a reference for his armoured appearance that would be most helpful, Preferably slim, sleek and light armour. Whoever sends me the image I choose will get the boon of designing their own "Plot Point" so to speak that I will adapt into my story, nothing enormous but still something that could affect the story.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this. Once again I promise that the next chapter will be out as soon as is possible.
