Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; it is owned by Masashi Kishimoto. House of the Dragon is owned by HBO, Warner Bros Discovery and George R.R Martin, which is loosely based on his book Fire and Blood. I own nothing and I am just a humble fan.

Author's Note: Hello everyone, here we are with a new chapter. Please read and review generously. I hope you all enjoy it. I am humbled by the reception for this story, I truly am humbled. I must confess, life is not going well right now. I am in the process of looking for a second job and life is stressful with health issues and many other things going on.

Writing fan fiction, religion, family, exercise, is my way to coping with tough situations. I do hope things get better soon, but like I said, things are tough. I will do my best to never abandon these stories I have started, but updates might get slower. I do apologize in advance.

That being said, let's get started. Without further ado, let us begin.

Chapter Three- Uzumaki Naruto is Unbeatable

"So, this child is a warrior. He is unrefined, brash, cocky; a younger version of me. I have to say, with my tutelage, his raw power and might can be tempered and transformed into refined elegance. Indeed, I haven't seen such prowess in a long, long time. " Prince Daemon Targaryen

"If only… if only I could be like him… I could ride into battle and glory. If only… if only society was better towards women…Why does my heart ache when I see him..." Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Future Heir of the Seven Kingdoms

"He truly is the most handsome man I have ever seen. It is as if the sun shines upon him wherever he goes. My heart yearns and aches for this man… I… I desire him…" Lady Allicent Targaryen

"This child has suffered… he has suffered truly. To acquire such power; it must have been a long and difficult road" Queen Aemma Arryn

Chapter Three- The Strongest Man in Westeros

In the sparring yard, the royal family was seated up top along with a few guests. Daemon was busy stretching and warming himself up with Dark Sister, as he and the royal family awaited their guest. The rest of the Kingsguard, apart from the Lord Commander, were in the background, eager to see this interesting clash. Many whispers floated throughout the Red Keep about their mysterious guest, and the Kingsguard and everyone were interested in seeing if these rumors were true.

While Daemon was interested in seeing the mettle of Westeros' new guest, some had interesting thoughts. Aemma was worried the boy would get hurt, while Viserys was apprehensive about his dreams again. The Lord Commander was interested how much fighting potential the boy had if any. Rhaenyra was interested in seeing the combat potential of this individual, while Allicent schooled her expressions into steel. Yet, Allicent had excitement flowing through her and wondered what was to happen.

She had to keep her expressions steel-like as her father was there and watching her from the corner of his eye. Her father had heard about this new mysterious guest and wondered who he was. Knowing her father, she wondered what he was thinking and what sort of plans he was making in his head. There was no one who could say that the Hightowers were not an ambitious bunch of planners tied to the Faith of the Seven.

She did wonder how Oldtown would take this. The Maesters were an eccentric, and dare she say, queer sort of people in their own way. She had no idea how they would view Naruto's abilities and his "magic". They were always deniers of magic. Deep in Allicent's heart, she knew the Maesters were not fond of Targaryens, and seeing Naruto's abilities would not make them happy. Alas, there was nothing that could be done now.

She was shaken out of her musings when she saw Naruto appear. He was wearing no armor like Daemon, rather the clothes he was wearing when he came to partake in conversation and food. He was holding what looked like a modified knife; circular and triangular, sharp and shiny. The Kingsguard as well as Daemon were curious about such a weapon and if it could hold up to Valyrian Steel.

Naruto walked in with a swagger. He stood away from Daemon and nodded gently at him and at the royal family and everyone else there.

The rest of the royal family smiled as Daemon walked up close to him and whispered low in his ear, as Otto Hightower and everyone else were curious as to what he was telling him. Viserys shook his head as Aemma hoped that Daemon was not going to say anything foolish.

"Child, I know you are gifted and you have abilities. I understand that you wish to keep them to yourself and you are intent on holding back. I suggest you do not. I will not take it easy on you, and you will not take it easy on a Dragon. I wish to see your potential. As a fighter and a warrior, I think you can understand what I am saying. Are those terms agreeable?"

Daemon then stood in front of him as Naruto brought out his hand to shake it, and nodded at Daemon. Daemon nodded back and they shook each other's hands. Daemon looked to the stands and watched his family look at him in shock. Daemon smirked. He still had a way of surprising the hell out of everyone.

Naruto took his stance as Daemon took his. He looked to his brother, the King, to signal the start of the fight. All of them waited with baited breath as the King gave the signal to begin. Now, the fight was on.

Daemon planted his feet and kept his figure rigid and strong as he waited for Naruto to make the first move. It was sheer silence that filled the area as they were all patiently waiting as to who would make the first move.

And then Daemon could sense danger as he readied Dark Sister. Naruto rushed at him with a speed unlike anything he had seen before. The sounds of steel filled the area as Naruto's kunai was covered in blue energy that they could all clearly see. Their eyes bulged as his Kunai struck Dark Sister as Daemon grit his teeth hard as the ground under him cracked.

It was taking everything inside Daemon's blood to not fall. Sweat was already forming on his brow and his muscles were getting tense as Naruto was unleashing lightning fast strikes with tremendous impact. Daemon swore he saw little whips and slivers of strange energy radiating off Naruto's weapon. And for some reason, he could see Dark Sister glow a little.

It was clear to Daemon that Naruto's style of fighting was aggressive, bold, wild; yet it had some degree of direction. And it was becoming increasingly clear to him that he would not win this fight. Daemon noticed that besides possessing such sheer raw speed, Naruto possessed immense raw power and strength.

Daemon was losing strength in his arms and legs as the sweat was now being flicked from his head. Naruto's style of fighting was unrefined and wild, but with temperament and good instruction, he would become something that people could not comprehend. Right now… it looked like Naruto used his superior gifts to enjoy this dance of blades.

Even now, Daemon was confident that there was no one in history that could match Naruto in battle or war; dead or alive. Not even his hero, Aegon the Conqueror could compare to him.

As Daemon was struggling to hold his defense, the royal family had very interesting reactions. Rhaenyra looked like she had stars in her eyes, while Allicent bore the expression that the sun shined outside of his ass.

Viserys was pondering his own dreams and realized that he had struck gold. They had come true after all… and perhaps this child was the key to ensuring the House of The Dragon would live on for further generations. And Aemma, all Aemma could feel was sorrow for the child. Naruto was indeed powerful and mighty, and Aemma felt in her heart that he paid a deep price for such gifts. She wondered what happen to this child's parents. In her heart, she felt this boy needed a mother.

Otto Hightower narrowed his eyes at what he was seeing. The Hightowers always maintained deep ties to the Faith of the Seven, and the power of the Faith. And there was a boy who could do things that could be described as magic. He did wonder who this unknown entity was and what the maesters would do once they learned about him.

The Kingsguard had schooled their expressions, but inwardly, they were shocked out of their minds. Daemon Targaryen was one of the finest swordsman of his era and this child was outdoing him in ways that they could not fathom. They agreed inwardly with the fact that the boy was not a swordsman and was relying on his queer gifts to win. They did agree with the fact that with proper weapons training, this boy could be far deadlier than what he was.

If Ryam Redwyne had to guess, young Naruto was more like a child capable of dealing widespread type of damage. With proper training, his power could be refined into something deadly, precise and much nastier. If only they discovered this child far earlier, Ryam was sure this child would have been known as the Greatest Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Alas, his destiny was for sure to be greater than that.

And as the fighting continued, Daemon's eyes widened as Naruto grinned as he brought his kunai to clash with Dark Sister. A shockwave ripped through the area as Daemon was pushed back, and yet, Dark Sister bore hardly a scratch. Daemon did ponder this in the thick of battle. Of course, Dark Sister had magic flowing through it and had immense durability. Perhaps his blade was a match for this strange blue energy… yet he was not confident in testing that theory out.

And all the people in the yard witnessed as Naruto leapt high into the air as his kunai glowed brightly. Something in Daemon screamed that he needed to dodge this attack. He moved backward as fast as he could, as Naruto roared and brought his kunai down on the ground.

The ground quaked and split as shockwaves of energy began filling the yard. Smoke filled the area as a deathly silence accompanied the smoke. And when the smoke cleared, Naruto holstered his kunai as everyone stared at him with shock while Daemon had a wide grin on his face. It had been years since someone was capable of surprising him… and now, he had found a worthy student to pass on his craft.

Otto Hightower was convinced this boy was monumental trouble… trouble for him, and his own ambitions and desires. If he wasn't so focused on Naruto and who he was, he would have noticed Daemon staring at him angrily, wondering what Otto Wellington was cooking up inside of his head.

Viserys was truly convinced now. He was sure that Naruto held the key to his family's future. It was ironclad now. He needed to approach the boy later and explain a proposition to him. And Aemma, she hoped that the boy could find a new home here.

As for the Kingsguard… they were glad this boy ended up in King's Landing. The royal family had many assassins and enemies baying for their blood, and this body seemed to possess abilities that could make the heroes of old blush crimson in envy and jealousy. If only the Kingsguard truly knew that Uzumaki Naruto was a self-contained Maelstrom, an object of power and unbreakable spirit and will.

The King got up and decided to put an end to the festivities. It has been quite some time since he had seen some real entertainment… and Uzumaki Naruto delivered in spades. He was glad he found this boy on time. If he was an enemy… the House of the Dragon would not survive. He was sure there was no dragon that could match his prowess.

Speaking of dragons, Daemon did wonder if this boy was a Valyrian. There were many secrets that were lost to the Doom. He did wonder if there were ancient texts and books that could describe such vaunted abilities. Perhaps, there was more to Naruto that meets the eye.

"Well… this has been an interesting day. I sincerely hope young Naruto was able to satisfy everyone's curiosities. Now, we should let young Naruto rest as well all have our own business to attend to."

Everyone in the yard bowed to the King as Naruto nodded his chin at Daemon and he returned the gesture. As Naruto walked away, he could see Rhaenyra looking at him something fierce. Her gaze was full of fire, questions, and a desire to be something greater as she looked at him from head to toe with a calculating gaze. As for Allicent, Naruto was shocked to see something akin to warmth, happiness, and dare he say, love in her eyes. Allicent looked at Naruto as if he was the sun, the moon, and the stars themselves.

It honestly freaked him the fuck out. He never had anyone pay him this much attention before and not in a good way or bad way. He had no idea what it meant. He shook his head as there was only possible only one woman who looked at them the way they were looking at him.

As Naruto rested in his lavish quarters, he heard a knock on his door and the door opened as Viserys and the Lord Commander entered his quarters. Naruto smiled gently as he meant to stand, but Viserys asked him to sit.

"That was quite the display of power, young Naruto. You fight and battle as fiercely as a dragon, nay, I say you fight much fiercer than a dragon."

"Well… I aim to please. Yet, I am sure you have something on your mind? What do you want to speak about?"

"You are perceptive as you are humble. Yes, indeed I have something to ask of you. I will not bore you with history and frivolities and conversation that will take up too much time. My house, the Targaryens, had spent a great effort to conquer Westeros and establish a legacy and future for their house. They wished to create something that would last millennia."

"Yet, to create and achieve destiny, one requires power and strength. And that came to us in the form of dragons. Dragons gave us the strength to once again conquer. And yet, I notice the dragons getting smaller and our house able to hold onto power by a mere thread. My house is extinguishable and can be destroyed just as easily."

"The reality, young Naruto is this. I wish for my house to survive and prosper for future generations to come. I have dreams, young Naruto. Many of these dreams, I can never truly understand. It is a blessing and a curse. Yet, I see you in many of my dreams. And it becomes quite clear to me, you are here for a reason. I do not know the reason, I wish I did. Yet, something in my heart tells me, it is a good one."

"Young Naruto, I have a proposition to make. I wish for you to live in the Red Keep as my Honored Guest. You do not have a home, and my wife and I will give you a home and you can count on us. I understand it was a great risk to share your secrets and we are grateful. I would never ask you to do anything I would not do, and I assure you, that you will always have a place at my table and in this kingdom for as long as House Targaryen lives."

"My only wish is that you watch over my daughter. She is growing older and soon, she will need protection. I cannot think of a worthy protector for my daughter than you. And I have to admit, you have made quite the impression on her and on my brother, Daemon."

"Of course… you can say no. I will not take it personally. You will still be welcome to stay here. I don't think I could ask you to leave the Red Keep. My wife has grown quite attached to you… and it would hurt her if you had to leave. What do you say, young Naruto?"

Naruto stood up and brought out his hand as the King clasped his hand as they nodded to one another. Truth be told, Naruto was always going to stay here. Hagoromo's warning was still blaring in his mind, and he was not destiny or fate's puppet. He would make his own destiny and he would come out on top.

Besides, there was no way to go home… and he kind of liked it here somewhat. Of course, there was no electricity, or plumbing, or Ramen. Yet, he was a Shinobi. And he would endure.

Chapter End

That's the chapter everyone. Please read and review generously. I hope you all enjoy it.

I apologize if chapters are short. I got lots of work so I am doing my best to stick to a decent schedule and pump out quality work in this hobby of mine. I wish I could write more, but that's a 50/50.

I will be starting a new story on ao3, a Naruto/Supergirl story that's much darker than anything I have written and it is inspired by Game of Thrones and the Andor Series. Its my take on a Kryptonian Empire with dark elements like torture, harsh decisions, moral choices, loss, and many other things with an eventual bitter sweet ending. Its honestly an experiment to see if I can write a dark story that's well written and more than its dark elements. Please keep an eye out and keep an open mind. And that will be the last story for a long, long while.

Stay safe everyone and well wishes to you all. See you all in the next update.
