This chapter took a lot out of me but so far I think it's one of the better ones, if there are any questions, join the discord /Qu4ZBQpe there are some brilliant authors there and i know you guys would enjoy it.

Now onto the story.

"My lord, I do believe we're surrounded."

Beginning

Naruto's legion had been bogged down. He and his men had freed multiple camps and had gathered whatever slaves had wished to join them while those who wished to leave were given small boats and sent towards the Numenorian shield islands. Amongst the slave he'd found many Numenorians, some were a lost cause. Their minds broken by the horrors they'd seen within the camps they had to be put down. Their minds too addled to be of any aid for the push to House Sunderlys Castle.

The Sunderlys had been a thorn in Naruto's side, the house had been cut off from any support Naruto's forces practically forcing them into a siege, Naruto had sent a message to Houses saltcliffe and Blacktyde, these houses had deemed themselves neutral within the engagement. And as such Naruto had left them alone with any of their house members, he caught snooping around his camps he sent back ensuring they wouldn't have extended knowledge of his forces.

And this where Naruto had been for the past week, stuck in an ongoing skirmish with the forces of Sunderly, he hadn't heard from his father or Malekith in the time that he'd been on the island, so he had been running his smaller campaign with the aid of his lieutenants. He sat in his tent, it being the largest among the 50 or so tents meaning that it was also used as the war tent for large scale meetings.

He was reading one of the reports from his latest skirmish, his men had forced back Sunderlys completely taking no losses while inflicting a huge amount of damage on the enemy, they'd been confined to their keep indefinitely now He looked up as a messenger sprinted into the tent pushing past the red cloaked guards that stood outside.

"My lord, I bring to you three messages one from Highgarden, one from kings landing and one from your father." He was breathing heavily, showing the sheer distance he'd travelled to give Naruto this information.

Naruto waved him to continue, and the messenger dropped to a knee as he lifted the messages toward his commander. Naruto took the Letter from his father first knowing whatever it held could be the key he needed to push the siege. He unfurled the letter, cutting it open with a dagger at his belt.

My son

We've forced the enemy back for now, but defence is stiffer than we expected. We've scoured the Old Wyk of all enemies and the lord of Old wyk has been strung by his beard. We've united with the Goodbrothers and are prepared to launch an assault upon Orkmont alongside the House Goodbrothers cadet branch.

You must overthrow the Sunderlys soon so we may attack Pyke as soon as possible. I hear that there has been an uproar in King's landing. We must return to Highgarden Soon. We have House Tyrell reinforcements to expect, and they should be able to mop up any stragglers, I've sent a couple hundred soldiers with the messenger they have a skilled mercenary with them. Who knows you may be able to keep them as a knight under your command?

Your father. Eric.

Naruto placed the letter down; it was concerning seeing as he'd gotten a letter from both Highgarden and Kings landing, letters he was sure his father were sure to have received as well. Naruto leaned across and grabbed the letter from king's landing; however it fell from his hands soon after as he read the contents , the sheer shock factor shaking his hands.

To all lords and subjects of the Seven kingdoms.

To all our Dismay King Robert Baratheon first of his name has passed away within his sleep.

Long Live King Baratheon

Enemies of the Kingdom: House Stark, they and the north have threatened peace within the Land. Former Lord Eddard Stark has been proven Guilty of spready falsities and Rumours about the Royal family and a bounty has been placed upon his head.

Naruto dropped the letter; this couldn't be correct. The king had died and had been replaced by his son, the crazy bastard prince. Naruto shook his head; they'd need to escalate their plans as soon as possible. With that despot in control of the kingdom anything could be Done, he'd already put one Major house into the shit for claiming them to be outlaws and traitors. The house of one of his beloveds.

He would not let that stand.

Naruto stood quickly, his face a mask of anger and annoyance as he began to belt on his armour and weaponry, as he did so he called over the messenger. The man stumbled toward him, almost, tripping over his own two feet.

Kneeling before Naruto he awaited his lord's orders.

"Tell the Army to prepare to move upon the Sunderlys we take their keep today. Tell the mercenary that my father sent to meet me outside. I need to know the ally who is to fight by my side" Naruto ordered his voice cold and hard.

The messenger was prepared to remind his lord of the final letter but refrained from doing so as he saw the cold steel within his master's eye. He simply nodded before rising quickly and leaving the tent, his strides quick and long.

Before long the entire army had prepared itself for war, many men some former slaves of the Sunderlys while others were the original Tudor soldiers Naruto had brought with him. Within the centre of the army stood a different group. These men were heavily armed and armoured and covered in green and gold regalia, at their head stood a standard bearer whose standard fluttered in the wind. Their standard consisted of a golden harp which sat on a long blue field.

As Naruto exited his tent, he recognised that banner. His father had told him many stories of the famed Gallóglaigh also known more commonly as the Gallowglass within western tongue,

Naruto approached their leader, a tall man. He easily stood at least a full head above Naruto himself, a shock of red hair sat at the top of the man's head, Naruto thought at first the man must've been a Tully, but the man's sheer size and banner claimed differently that and the deep red colour of his eyes.

Naruto looked him up and down, before looking the man directly in his eyes. "What's your name, friend?" He asked.

The man grinned, showing off his sharpened teeth. "Names Cú Chulainn or better known as Cuhullin Hound of Ulster." the man paused and then reached behind his back taking a long spear that was situated there.

The weapon was a long, barbed weapon with a terribly sharp tip. Naruto admired the beautiful weapon, almost touching it, however something screamed in the back of his mind to leave the weapon alone.

"This is Gae Bulga, a weapon carved from the skull of the largest sea dragon ever seen. Lathered every day for nine years in the worst, most painful poisons found across the narrow sea and then barbed so that it may never let go of its prey." He grinned as he finished. A savage bloodthirsty grin which Naruto reciprocated.

"It's good to have you Cuhullin, you've come at the right time as today were going to siege and remove the Sunderlys permanently. You'll be by my side when we take the fortress" Naruto told the man as the large force began to move out at some unseen signal, the hound of ulster following behind his new employer, and his men baying for the blood of their enemies as they marched.

2 days earlier

"My lord I do believe we are surrounded" came the low voice of one of the axe wielding guards, the man pulled his cloak from his head revealing a thick banded helmet with a long plume coming from its top, the men around him did the same revealing entirely similar uniforms however the difference between them is that where the men with the axes wore darkened cloaks lined with the fur and heads of large lions the men with the shields wore shorter lighter cloaks.

"The Roseguard of House Tudor" Lord Florent whispered under his breath as the men formed a protective circle around the lord and his two charges.

Their caution was evident as men poured out from nearly every crevice and shadow, both gold cloaks and Lannister foot men flooded the paths they were to take, they're armoured bodies clanking with every step, while each man was not as heavily armed as her protectors Sansa could see that there were simply just too many of them. For each member of her party there were at least 6 footmen on the Lannister's side, they were simply outnumbered.

Panic set through Sansa's heart as she realised that both her and her sister might not make it out alive, then rage as Jaime Lannister smugly made his way to the front of the crowd, his golden Kings guard armour shining in the moonlight. She felt Lord Florent push both her and Arya deeper into his cloak almost as if he were to hide them from the disgusting gaze of the Lannister.

"Well, well, well. I wonder how Highgarden and that Tudor bastard will react when I send them the head of their most loyal lap dog, and maybe my men can have a bit of fun with the girls eh men?" He finished as the men around him either grunted or cheered in response.

Florent said nothing yet he discreetly gave each girl a small dagger, not enough to kill but enough to wound and enough for them to get away when necessary. He hoped they wouldn't need it.

"If it isn't the butt boy of the queen, are you feeling a bit tired after leaving her quarters. Is your rear hurting slightly? Do you want to call off the fight so that you can rest a bit?" Lord Florent quipped his voice, having a mirthful tone to it.

Jaime's face dropped immediately before purpling in rage slightly as some of the lesser trained footmen sniggered, he snapped around and stared at his men. Those who were laughing went immediately quiet as the man regained his former pomp and arrogance yet slightly cracked all the same.

"You'd better watch your tongue old man, or actually I'll let them take it" he said as he signalled his men to attack.

The large group of armoured men surged forward, their heavy bodies pushing toward as they thrusted toward the small group, the men with the largest Axes stood to their front while the men with the shields surrounded them covering them from all sides, as the first men of the Lannister ilk approached their lines he swung.

The large woodsman's axe was honed to a fine edge, and it showed as it cut through the men as if they were chaff, each swing took the lives of two or three men. Both men swung their axes with precision and a honed effort. No man passed them as they did their deadly work. Sansa cowered further behind Lord Florent as the rest of the bodyguard moved in lockstep forming a small anvil for the enemy to fall upon. And crash upon they did, not one man took a step back as they buffeted the pressing bodies with their large shields; their smaller axes removed limbs and heads, men fell to the floor as screams sounded from the fallen men.

Jaime grew tired of the lack of movement, he drew his blade and began to walk forward, the blade flashing and glinting with the moonlight, his men parted for him as he finally reached the frontlines. The Roseguard had broken up the charge of the enemy each man taking three enemy soldiers each and pushing back the lesser trained men, however Jaime managed to slip through the duels occurring and came face to face with a slightly worried Lord Kevan Florent.

The man knew he wasn't the best swordsman, not on the level of either Eric nor his son but he could hold his own when necessary, so as Jaime approached him that infuriating smile still plastered across his face with his sword drawn; Kevan drew his own weapon that being an edgeless Estoc, the weapon held no edge yet still could be used to parry while the tip was the true weapon however, being easily able to punch through armour like a nail through wood.

Kevan pointed his weapon to the ground, Jaime tried to goad the older man into attacking first, simply standing there smiling at the man.

"Ladies first my good fellow"

"Age before beauty" Kevan responded.

Jaime never lost his smile, even as the carnage continued to explode around them, the man's face was calm and confident but inside he was seething in rage, how dare these fools challenge him.

Jaime dashed toward Kevan; the man's speed was nothing to scoff at but everyone knew he could move faster. Kevan parried the first blow and then blocked the second before weaving below the third. The man moved with a grace that belied his age, Jaime continued to push him however back however the old fox was not completely powerless to stop his enemy. Kevan Florent pushed back as they locked blades, Jaime's grinning face continued to crack as he couldn't accurately pierce through the older man's defence. Lord Florent's sword glinted in the light of the moon as he sent a heavy jab into Jaime's defences. The younger man ducked under the blow as it screeched against his armour, he took a swipe and the older man grimaced as the cut left a slight red line across his abdomen, he lightly held his wound and reformed his defence stance.

Kevan Florent flourished his blade once again returning to his original stance, around them the fight began to grow tighter as the bodies of the Lannister men began to pile up around the small group, two of the Roseguard had fallen already but they had brought down at least 25 men each giving their lives to ensure that the princesses were safe.

Jaime stopped his advance and began to smugly smile.

"You're surrounded, you're wounded, and you've got nowhere to go. Give up and give us the princesses and you might have some favour with the new king and who knows he might even be generous enough to give you the reach when he claims it" the blonde-haired man said, his voice annoyingly sure of himself.

Sansa pushed her sister behind her and drew the dagger she'd been given; her hands began to shake a little as she saw the lecherous stare of the older man. She began to pray, hoping that any of the seven or the old Gods would heed her prayers

The sun began to rise behind them, and all thoughts of their escape left her spirit as tears began to escape her eyes.

The ground began to rumble.

Horns began to blare early in the morning.

Everyone stopped their movements as a grand procession of 200 cavalrymen entered the square behind the Lannister forces, Banners fluttered in the newly risen sun, on the fluttering banners sat the banners of House Tyrell and House Stark, many of the Stark cavalrymen were slightly bruised and hurt but were grim and resolute . The cavalrymen easily outnumbered the ragtag force that Jaime had brought with him, the men themselves were quite nervous as they began to look around at the superior soldiers that surrounded them.

Then. Someone pushed themselves to the front, and after a short time the front of the squadron parted, revealing an annoying sight to Jaime, yet a beautiful sight to Sansa and Lord Kevan.

Before them stood Lord Randyll Tarly, and alongside him stood Ser Rodrick Cassel, Master at arms for the Stark Household. And between the two great men stood someone of a smaller stature yet still had the somewhat respect of his peers.

Tyrion Lannister.

Present

Naruto's newly combined army had marched 6 hours nonstop across the broken landscape of the island, the force had maintained a steady march rarely resting unless necessary. The mercenaries had embedded themselves comfortably within the army, becoming an important component within. Naruto himself had struck up a friendship with the Giant leading the mercenary army, the man had told him where he'd come from and how the land that he had inhabited had been destroyed.

The Man's story struck a chord with Naruto's own, the similar ends to their families had been what had linked the two in brotherhood. And while he hadn't sworn fealty to Naruto yet, the Hound of Ulster trusted the younger boy and would follow him to the end.

Now they prepared to siege Castle Sunderly. It was the dead of night when Naruto's medium sized army finally arrived outside, they'd cut all light and had marched the last kilometre in complete darkness and silence ensuring that the enemy would not be alerted to their presence. It seemed that despite Naruto's small-scale raids on the Sunderly territory they had not prepared themselves for battle.

"It seems their sentries aren't prepared in the slightest." Cú Chulainn whispered to Naruto as the two lied side by side on a ridge near to the castle's main gate.

"Indeed, we'll start as soon as the guard change begins." Naruto responded, the man nodded and slowly began to slide back behind the ridge line.

Around them the full might of the army lay behind the ridgeline, some were kneeling while others were belly down within the high grass, Naruto continued to watch the sentries slowly nod off as they stood stock still on the walls, with a quick hand signal a single man ran forward, on his back was a weapon the Tudor alchemists had been working on. The man began to unfurl a long sheet and began to clip it to the gate.

"HEY, INTRUDER" the man looked up and turned and sprinted back toward the line.

But the shout came too late as a flaming arrow flew past the running man and slammed home into the large pack.

BAKRAMMMMMM

Both the large wooden gate and the gate house itself was bathed in an almost liquidised green fire, the wildfire practically melted the gate and gate house, the army watched as men rushed to try put out the fire, many of them using the sea water from the nearby shore. And the fire slowly began to dim as it was slowly smothered by its natural enemy, however the men were still burned or singed by the sheer heat of the dying fire, the original blast having turned at least 30 of both the sentries and the civilians just behind the walls to complete ash.

A single lit arrow flew into the sky, the people within the fortress looked on in bewilderment as what seemed to be a flaming arrow into the sky, almost as if it were a signal?

"What's that supposed to b…." the man was cut off as an arrow entered his throat. With a sharp splash of blood, which spattered across those standing next to him.

A woman screamed.

More arrows fell. Almost as if they were a rain of sharp steel and death. Women, men and anyone still awake fell to the deathly rain.

"CHAAARRGGEE!"

The entire army practically rose from the depths of the darkness, roars and cheers sounded from Naruto's army as they rushed forward. The Gallowglass leading the charge were the first to meet the broken gate of the castle. They broke apart any leftover wood or stone which stood in the way of the army, then they began to pour into the castle's bailey, and clashed with the hastily assembled force of guards which rushed to meet them midway.

Cu Chulainn Himself led the charge, his large body moving quicker than it really should have, the man's crimson spear held high as he gave a mighty thrust easily piercing through the defender's chest then piercing through a second, yanking it back and swinging for another man's head shattering the man's shield. A quick push with his shield knocked the man head over heels, behind him his fellow mercenaries followed suit, their heavy weapons slicing through the chaff that was the defenders of the Sunderly fortress.

Naruto's forces began to cut through the House Sunderly defenders, both men and women tried to hold them off, yet the sheer rage and determination of the invading forces forced them back. Naruto and Cu Chulainn fought back-to-back, Naruto wielding a heavy Warhammer while the Hound of Ulster wielded his notorious red spear.

After almost half an hour of fighting, Naruto himself pushed into the main square, he hefted a massive golden Warhammer; the weapon glinted in the moonlight as he swung it from left to right, the first swing crushed the skull of the man to his left while the return swing shattered the leg of another defender as one of his men finished off the screaming man.

A man screamed as he rushed Naruto, the teen choked the ornate Warhammer and thrusted it into the man's chest, shattering his rib cage and forcing him down to a single knee. Naruto lifted the hammer and caved the man's skull in. walking past the now dead man's body Naruto watched as the last of the defenders entered the keep.

Naruto approached where the draw bridge had been, the wooden gate having been pulled up after the last of the defenders had arrived.

"Surrender and you will not be harmed, continue to fight and I shall massacre every last man woman!" Naruto shouted up to the keep.

There were some small sounds of speech before the lord of the Sunderlys peaked his head above the parapets. "Why are you here, we've done nothing to the Tudor house nor the Tyrells, we do not deserve such treatment" the man shouted down.

Naruto scoffed as a small stool was brought up for him to sit upon, Cu Chulainn moved to stand next to him as his troop surrounded both their lord and the fortress.

"I have made my point clear, either you surrender and give yourself to us. Or your entire house and any who are hidden within that fortress will be killed and their bodies burned so your drowned god will never receive them."

The man's head returned to the fortress and a quiet whispering was heard once again, this went on for a couple minutes as the sun began to rise slowly from the east as Naruto's men began to pillage the surrounding town, they put to the torch any buildings which could not be used while those where they found gold and food were moved to the coast where Naruto's transport fleet would be arriving soon.

The draw bridge began to lower slowly as the man began to walk out, he was an older man, one that Naruto knew had committed many atrocities and had done many terrible things over his lifetime. Naruto began to clean the blood stains from his large hammer, cleaning the golden weapon as the sun began to gleam off it. The man was about to speak but was cut off as Naruto spoke first.

"This" he lifted the hammer and showed it to the man. "Is Ghal Maraz, forged in the depths of the largest of the Valyrian volcanoes, created to strike down even the strongest of the dragons."

"Why are you telling me this? I've come here to barter our freedoms and you tell me a story."

Naruto grinned at the man, a true bloodthirsty grin which the man didn't seem to notice. "As I've said Valyn. You will be let free and be given a ship to go to Pyke with."

Valyn nodded and then gave a signal to the keep. After a minute roughly a hundred poorly armoured men came out; they were then followed by almost 200 civilians, mostly children and women as well as a couple elderly families.

Naruto turned to Cu Chulainn; the man nodded as Naruto grinned at him. Something his father had told him he may have had to do to the worst of the worst.

He raised a single palm. "I know all of your crimes, Slaver." Naruto said suddenly causing Valyn to freeze in his footsteps, the rest of the men and even some of the elderly also stopped.

"You and the crimes of your house are too great to allow a stain like you to live upon Westeros."

"But you promised!" Valyn roared back, his voice cracking slightly as he tried to approach Naruto, only for the man to be grabbed from behind by two Gallowglass.

"One, we didn't shake on it. Two the children can be taken back to the Reach or can be given to the Numenorians." Naruto said, as his soldiers began to take the children from the women and men.

"Force them into one of the buildings and put it to the torch, let them feel how our allies felt when they raped and massacred their people. Malekith sends his regards." Naruto told His men as they began to force the adults into the barn, after they had all been stuffed in, and a couple of them had been beaten in after trying to escape.

Cu Chulainn himself brought the torch as he approached the barn, the man then threw it onto the thatched roof of the barn and began to walk away as the fire caught. Naruto turned away and began to walk toward the shore as the screams began.

As much as he hated doing this, none would escape his wrath.

This was hell to write, but the next one is definitely going to be a doozy, a couple war crimes committed but those will be sorted out in the next chapter. Praise Neptune and the next update will be coming soon for Azula's monster.
