Chapter Nine

Naruto sighed as he led Daenerys and her Khalasar through the Red Waste. It had over a week since their departure from Vaes Dothrak and they had yet to run into any trouble.

The assassin, who had long ago removed his robes and rode his horse shirtless, looked over at Daenerys and couldn't help but smile. While she still had a lot of room to grow as both a leader and warrior he was proud of how far she had come from when he first met her, especially after Jorah's account on her final meeting with Viserys. His smile grew even wider when he looked down at her now showing bump, then it quickly dawned on him he had yet to include in any of his messages that Daenerys was pregnant.

'Tsunade's gonna kill me.'

The assassin was broken out of musing when he heard one of the horses give out. He quickly dismounted his and watched as the animal took its last breath. Daenerys looked at him with worried eyes as the small Khalasar gathered around them.

"We only have two horses remaining."

Naruto sighed. "I know."

She looked out at the group of Dothraki that agreed to follow her into the desert.

"I promised to protect them. I promised them their enemies would die screaming. How am I supposed to make starvation scream?"

"One of the few tricks I have yet to master."

While the assassin appeared to be calm he two was beginning to feel the affects of the harsh dessert sun. And his wounds from hiss fight with Drogo had yet to fully heal."

"Does it ever end?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes."

"And your sure this is the right direction?"

He nodded as he pointed in one direction.

"Head south and you'll hit Lhazareen, where they'll kill us and take your Dragon eggs."

He pointed in another. "West is back to the Dothraki Sea where they'll kill us."

"No one is gonna kill us."

"Your in no condition to fight. Neither are your people and as much as I hate to say it, neither am I. I underestimated Drogo and now I'm paying the price for it. But if we keep heading in our current direction we should reach Qarth in two days tops. Now stand and be the strength for your people."

The last Targaryen smiled. "As you are mine."

Naruto smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Kings Landing

Sasuke lurked in the shadows of a tower in the Red Keep and watched the King celebrate his name day. In the weeks since his coronation the boy King had shown that he was cruel and deserving of a blade through the heart but Orochimaru forbid it.

"You always scowl Sasuke. If you keep doing that your face will probably be stuck that forever."

The raven haired assassin didn't spare a glance at the hooded figure behind him.

"Why haven't we killed the idiot yet?"

"A suitable leader hasn't been chosen yet. Lord Orochimaru says your old teammate Naruto is returning from a mission with Daenerys Targaryen, that sounds promising."

Sasuke ignored the figure and watched as Tyrion Lannister approached the King.

"Kabuto, when did the runt return?"

The man now known as Kabuto smirked as he walked towards the window.

"Not too long ago actually, but there are pressing matters. Lord Orochimaru request your presence."

The Uchiha watched as Tyrion walked towards the castle.

"Tell him I'll be there after I take care of some things."

Kabuto watched Sasuke leave the tower.

"So impatient."

Sasuke left the tower and silently made his way through the Red Keep. He stuck to the shadows and easily avoided the guards. He walked across the beams and entered a small secret compartment above the small council chamber. He stayed silent as he listened to the harsh words of Queen Cersei. When Tyrion walked in and Cersei dismissed the rest of the council Sasuke waited hoping for information and couldn't help but smirk when he heard the Arya Stark escaped.

With that news Sasuke snuck out of the castle and returned to Orochimaru's hideout.

"Hmmmm. Without Arya Stark the Lannisters put themselves in quite the situation."

"Could she be dead?"

Orochimaru shook his head. "No. If she were dead we would know. Kabuto what do you know?"

"The girl was learning the art of water dancing before the attack. Her brother Jon Snow gifted her a small thin sword. A boy was found dead with a small thin wound in his gut. The likely explanation is that the girl killed him in her escape."

The Sannin nodded as he thought over his options.

"The girl must be found and not by the Lannisters. I will talk to my spies in the city, Kabuto you reach out to our men in the surrounding villages. If she made it that far she'd have to have found away to conceal her identity so keep your eyes sharp. Sasuke since you have mastered the art of sneaking in and out of the Red Keep you shall watch the Lannisters, the moment they know something I want to know as well."

Sasuke nodded and turned to leave but stopped.

"Before I came here Kabuto told me you wanted to see me."

"Ah yes. Just a bit of news. Stannis Baratheon has aligned himself with an old enemy of mine, a Red Priestess named Melisandre."

"A Red Priestess? I didn't think you'd be scared of the 'powers' of the Lord of the light."

Orochimaru smirked. "I'm not afraid but it would be wise not to mock the powers of the Lord of Light. But for now don't worry about her. We have alot on our plate already and as of now Stannis is not a problem. Now if you'll excuse me your both dismissed."

North of The Wall- Crasters Lodge

Jon grumbled as he walked throughout the property after his altercation with the Lord Commander.

"So I here your a steward. Shame I would have loved to teach you a few tricks with the rangers."

Jon turned to see Minato Namikaze standing behind him.

"You didn't ride out with us, how did you get here?"

Minato smirked as he twirled a tri pronged kunai in his hand.

"I'm a little special. The Lord Commander allows me to come and go as I please but he did request that I stick around for this little trip North."

"Why would he want you around? What makes you so special?"

Minato's smirk widened as he snatched the blade out of the air.

"You'll find out soon enough. Until then keep a hold of this for me, it may come in handy."

Jon looked at the blade and saw strange writing on the handle.

"What does this mean?"

He looked up and found Minato gone.

Not too far away Minato appeared before the Lord Commander who jumped at his sudden appearence.

"I keep telling you not to do that."

Minato laughed and rubbed the back of his head before he looked at Lord Mormont and spoke with a serious tone.

"So I here you wanna know what the wildlings are up to?"

Mormont snorted. "I want to know what's going on behind this bloody wall."

"You sure? There's no unknowing these things."

"Tell me!"

Minato sighed. "The wildlings are gathering for survival, survival from an enemy I here you've already met."

"The dead?"

"Yes."

"I don't know their exact plan but they plan on make it to the other side of the Wall."

"Over my dead body."

"I think we should let them in."

The Lord Commander looked at him as if he just said the worst thing in the world.

"Hear me out. I've traveled beyond the Wall more times than any ranger before me in search for one fairy tale, but instead I found another but it's just as sinister...The Night King. And your friend Craster has been helping him."

Mormont shook his head. "Even if all this is true I would still need proof before I could allow a single wildling through the Wall."

Minato nodded. "I know and trust me if you keep heading North you'll find your proof."

Kings Landing

Sasuke sat on his perch in a shadow of the Red Keep. The last few days had been almost uneventful as he watched the Queen and the small council hoping for news on the Stark girl but they seemed just as lost as he was. His interest was perked when he saw the boy king meet with the Lord Commander of the city watch. There weren't many things that terrified Sasuke but the order that Joffrey gave did and he rushed immediately to Orochimaru.

"Ahh Sasuke do you have any news on the girl for me?"

The raven haired assassin shook his head.

"No but I bring terrible news. The idiot king fears any claim to the throne that could possibly overthrow him so he's ordered the execution of every single bastard child that Robert Baratheon sired."

The Sanin looked up from his papers and saw red and black eyes with three tomoes staring back at him.

"I understand how this hits home for you Sasuke but what would you have me do?"

"Help me get them out of the city and provide them passage to the Hidden City."

Orochimaru saw the legendary Sharingan staring at him and knew his apprentice would not let this go.

"It won't be an easy task especially since there's only three of us, do you have any idea how many bastards the last King has?"

Sasuke smirked. "No but I'm sure you do."

Orochimaru frowned. "Approximately nineteen in Kings Landing alone. Sadly I must admit we may require some assistance."

He quickly began scribbling on a piece of paper and handed it to Sasuke. Take care of these and I'll take care of the rest."

The assassin looked at his list that consisted of only five names.

"How are you gonna get all the others?"

Orochimaru grinned as he stood up. "Time to get reinforcements."

Not long after Sasuke walked into the brothel owned by Petyr Baelish dressed in his full Assassin gear, including his sword. He ignored the indecent sex that was going on around him and watched as a red haired woman walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"How can I help you today."

She batted her eyes and smiled seductively but Sasuke ignored her advances.

"A friend requested I spend time Mhaegen...privately."

The Uchiha produced several gold coins and dropped them in her hand. The woman's smile widened.

"Follow me my Lord."

Sasuke was taken to a room where he waited until another red haired woman walked in.

"Are you Mhaegen?"

"Yes M'Lord. How can I be of service today?"

Sasuke ignored her and studied the door taking note that there was no lock.

"Where is your daughter?"

Mhaegen looked at him in surprise.

"Excuse me?"

"Your daughter. I'm told her name is Barra. Where is she?"

Mhaegen took a few steps away from Sasuke.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the person trying to save your daughters life now where is she."

Mhaegen looked at Sasuke frantically.

"What's going on."

Sasuke growled quickly becoming angry.

"Look Lady I don't have time for this. I'll explain everything soon but right now I need to know where your daughter is."

"She's upstairs in my sleeping chambers."

The Uchiha nodded. "Stay here."

He peeked his head out of the room and stopped the first person who walked by.

"Excuse me miss."

The women turned and stopped when she looked into the assassins eyes which had transformed into the sharingan.

"Go to Mhaegen's room and bring me Barra. Stay quiet and don't be seen."

It didn't take long for her to return with the sleeping baby and Sasuke produced a cloak which he handed to Mhaegen who quickly put it on. The Uchiha activated his eagle vision and saw a group of Gold Cloaks enter the brothel.

"Time to get out of here."

He helped her out of the window just as the door swung open and five Gold Cloaks entered.

The Uchiha wasted no time charging while drawing his sword. He blocked an attack by the first one and quickly slashed at his mid section spilling his guts on the floor.

He then parried the next attack and stabbed at the mans stomach and brought his sword up so it exited at the top of the mans skull.

He felt an attack coming and quickly spun around with his blade cleaving the third mans head clean off. He quickly spun again and dropped low while swinging his sword and nearly sliced the last two Gold Cloaks in half.

The assassin quickly sheathed his sword and turned to Mhaegen who stared at him in awe.

"Sorry you had to see that."

The Red Waste

Naruto sighed as he walked next to Daenerys, the two leading the Khalasar on the last few hours of their journey to Qarth.

"So tell me more about this Lord Jiraiya."

Naruto have a weak laugh.

"Hah, Pervy Sage is nothing but on old geezer who spies on women for research on his books. But he's also one of the strongest people I know. I'm proud to have studied under for all these years."

Naruto smiled as he thought about the first time he met Jiraiya. He went to speak but his eyes quickly rolled into the back of his head as he passed out.

"Naruto!"

Daenerys was quickly at his side as was Jorah and Irri.

"What's wrong with him."

The knight quickly checked on Naruto's wounds but saw that they were almost healed. He then checked his water skin which he found bone dry.

"He's dehydrated. We have to get him out of this desert and fast."

Daenerys nodded and looked down at Naruto with a worried look on her face.

Jorah placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry princess, he'll be just fine."

The Khaleesi nodded and turned towards one of her bloodroders.

"Rakharo you will ride ahead to Qarth, tell them we are not far behind."

The rider nodded and quickly mounted a horse before taking off.

Kings Landing

Sasuke was escorting his group of children along with a few parents when he felt a presence. He looked around and saw no Gold Cloaks.

"This presence I've felt it before."

The assassin closed his eyes and when he opened them Naruto stood in front of him.

"Naruto what are you doing here?"

Naruto looked around and shrugged his shoulders.

"I honestly don't know. What's going on here?"

Sasuke motioned his head to the women and children huddled up against the wall.

"Joffrey is an insane little brat who would rather burn the Seven Kingdoms rather than lead. We're providing refuge to Robert Baratheon's bastard children in one of Orochimaru's hideouts outside the city."

"That's insane."

The Uchiha smirked before motioning everyone to lean against the wall as two Gold Cloaks walked past.

"Yeah and trekking through the worlds most dangerous desert isn't."

Naruto smirked as well as the two friends shared a laugh. Sasuke sent the group into a tunnel and noticed a Gold Cloak spotted him.

"As much as I would like to catch up I'm kinda busy."

He unsheathed his sword as the Gold Cloak charged.

"It was good seeing you again Sasuke."

"You ass well Naruto."

The Uchiha slashed at Naruto who's image distorted and the blade struck the Gold Cloak killing him.

And Done!

As you can see I decided to introduce abilities in this chapter. Now everyone won't have chakra but a few will. And before people complain Bran can see the future and Daenerys is fire proof. And don't get me started on the Red Witch. As for the final scene I wanted to write it better and I drew my inspiration from Thor and Heimdall scene in Ragnarok. But it's purpose was to establish a connection between Naruto and Sasuke which will be explained in chapters to come.

As always read, follow, favorite and review!

Duces!
