Chapter 7: Truth to Reality

Naruto drank his tea in silence. No one was in his room save for the servant that was placed to serve his every need. The boy took a deep breath, trying to get the images from his mind; lava and those three people. Who are they? Naruto asked. It felt like I knew them and they me. Well, they knew my name but everyone knows my name. They didn't dress like they're from Westeros though, probably one of those weird Essosi dressing styles I've heard about. But I know no one from Essos or anyone of Essosi descent.

Naruto kept thinking on the girl of the group. She had emerald eyes, a color that seemed a lot like his Lannister family's own eyes, but hers were fiercer. But what he really couldn't get out of his head was the ridiculous color of her hair. Pink?! Naruto frowned and pressed his the back of his head against the headboard and frowned. Maybe that was just a strange bit of imagination running amok. Dreams always did end up being strange in the end with barely any logic to them. He frowned and kept his glare to the head of the room.

He couldn't believe that what he saw was merely a dream. It felt too real. He felt the heat and he felt the lava melt his skin from his body and then move on to the flesh from his bones. He could feel every second of it, but for some reason, that felt more like a nightmare than the truth. The truth must have been different. Naruto smirked softly.

Of course it was different. Naruto smirked. There's no way in seven hells that I'd die like that. I guess I have to thank the gods for giving me this strange, though annoying, power. I managed to strengthen my body enough to take the damage and still be alright but only knocked out. If only I could get something like that without these stupid dreams.

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal none other than his mother. Cersei looked like she'd been crying and harshly told the servant to leave the room. The servant hobbled from the room, clearly embarrassed or completely terrified; probably both. Naruto's eyes followed his mother as she pulled a seat over and sat next to her son, her hand resting on his, trying her best to show nothing on her face. She was tearing herself up inside at what she had Jaime do; she wasn't thinking at the time and only thought of her and Jaime. She was gripping the bed furs and gripping Naruto's hand a little too tightly.

She eyed Naruto nervously, looking over his scarred arms and to his otherwise, unscathed body with curiosity. Tears formed in her eyes though, glimmering her green orbs. She looked to Naruto and grabbed his head and held him close, hugging him tightly and cried into his unruly blond hair. The boy's body was cold and he began to sweat from the sudden interaction between himself and his mother. She didn't let him go though and continued to cry onto his head and rubbed her thumb against the stitches on his scarred temple. He was confused, what brought this out.

"Mother…" Naruto gave her a weird look. "Why are you doing all of this all of a sudden…"

"I know that I haven't shown it much…" Cersei wiped her nose. "I just want you to know that I love you and your brothers and sister more than life itself…I just want you to know that I regret not showing you that love ahead of time."

"M-Mother…?" Naruto gave her an incredulous look. "I…don't know what to say? Is this because I almost died falling from a wall?"

"It was a tower, you fool!" Cersei shouted. "You fell so far…"

"I don't know what any of you are talking about." Naruto's frown deepened. "All I remember was messing up my balance on the wall before waking up here in this bed…Mother is there something that you're not telling me?"

"No, of course not, my love." Cersei bent forward and kissed Naruto's sweaty forehead. "But, I want to know everything that you remember from yesterday."

"Everything?" Naruto looked at her and frowned. "I can't do that."

Cersei watched him downcast. Her hand still clasping on to his, she began to rub her thumb on his rough scarred skin. Her green eyes locking with his from, trying to figure him out. She wanted to know the truth; she had to know the truth. What he knew could tear their family apart and in turn the entirety of House Lannister. She couldn't let her family fall apart. She held him tight, trying her best not to show any slights in her facial expression.

"What do you mean?" Cersei tried her best not to ask between clenched teeth.

"Every time I try to think between the wall and waking up, it's all dark and there's no memories of anything." Naruto sighed. "But, for some reason, I am seeing images of falling into lava. These images are terrifying and feel so real as the dream passes. It's started to scare me mother, and this isn't the first time that these dreams have plagued me."

Cersei kept her gaze on the boy, watching him with an uncertain eye. There was no fault in his shimmering sapphire Baratheon eyes. He was serious and the look of hurt that he displayed broke Cersei's heart the longer she stared into his eyes. She looked away not being able to take the pain her second son put on display. The boy slid underneath his bed furs and laid his head against the pillows and stared aimlessly at the ceiling, examining the ceiling posts and the different stones used for the ceiling and the walls. He wasn't going to be saying anything, so Cersei rose from her seat and placed a small kiss on her son's forehead and bid him farewell.

"Naruto."

The boy opened his eyes only to be met by bright white. He was floating and there seemed to be no end to the plane. He trailed his eyes left and right, wondering what happened. This isn't Winterfell anymore, but something else entirely. He felt at ease and at peace. There was no hatred or anger within him. He was no longer in pain and he was no longer feeling lost. He stayed silent though, waiting for the voice to make an appearance.

"Naruto."

He shot around, trying to find this person. He could be anywhere in this vast expanse of empty white light. Naruto took deep breaths and took a step forward only to hear the soft clack of his black sandals and not the soft clack of his heavy boots. His Baratheon eyes nearly shot from his sockets at the sight of his clothes. Orange pants with an orange coat of sorts with black sleeves. Naruto froze and immediately dropped his jaw in disgust. Whatever kind of joke this was, he wasn't liking it. This garb of sorts was strange to him, but for some reason, comfortable. He shook his head as a shiver ran up and down his body; comfortable or not, this was an eyesore.

"Damn it, Naruto, look at me!" The voice said, clearly getting irritated.

"Where are you?"

"Look behind you, dobe." The voice sighed in defeat. "Kami, you're still an idiot."

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Just know, that I knew you in a past life." The man responded. "We were close…"

Naruto tilted his head in confusion but let the man continue.

"That's beside the point." He shook his head. "You have to know something though. There is a darkness coming to the world, a powerful darkness, one that has been sleeping for thousands of years, Naruto. You will need a weapon that can defeat them, a weapon that can defeat any and all in its path."

"What weapon is that?" Naruto asked with wide eyes, clearly believing this to be some strange and informative dream.

"The Kusanagi no Tsurigi." The man responded. "You'll find it in Asshai near the Shadowlands."

"A-Asshai?!" Naruto's eyes had never been so wide. "Don't jest!"

"I'm not, Naruto." The man shook his head. "You will need to go to Asshai one day soon. It might not be tomorrow or even within the next month, but just know that it'll be one day soon. Asshai will be the gateway for you to realize your destiny."

Naruto shot from his bed once again, sweat pouring down his forehead. Something though was trickling from his temple and running against his ear. He traced his hand against the thicker liquid. He sighed in defeat when he realized it to be blood. It seems that even when he has the dreams, the scar likes to open and bleed. He rested his head against the headboard after wiping the blood away, thinking on what he was told. Asshai. Kusanagi no Tsurigi. Destiny. He shook his head, pressing his skull against the hard oak headboard, trying to figure all of this out.

The dreams were getting worse and now, someone came to him claiming to know him in a past life?! Naruto rested his face in his palms, trying not to stress too hard. His body was stiff and rigid; his forehead was on fire. Maester Luwin said he was fine to walk, but also said that he was to rest for an entire day to make sure that there was no lasting damage done to his body. The Maester never did say anything about a burning forehead or how to deal with these strange dreams of his.

Naruto frowned. His mother was completely surprised by his revelation about his dreams. He could have sworn though that his mother looked in disbelief of what he said. He felt that he was missing something that his mother wasn't saying. She was hiding something and he knew it. Naruto breathed softly trying to calm down. After everything he's been taught, he learned that the calm and patient receive the best rewards. He needed to think this through, he needed to stay conserved.

His blue eyes trailed left and right, examining the room, looking for faults and even for a sign of life. No one had come to see him or watch over him. The boy took a deep breath and pushed the bed furs away, despite his orders of a full day of rest. He hobbled over with weak legs towards his chamber pot and loosened his breeches. After a few minutes, he'd relieved himself and walked back towards the bed, feeling satisfied and at ease. But, something caught the corner of his eye.

He walked back, tracing his steps and watched the courtyard with a fearful eye. A stable was lit ablaze. Men ran back and forth with buckets of water, trying their best to stop the flame from growing any larger. Baratheon, Lannister and Stark, all together, tried their best to calm the raging flames. Naruto looked in awe at how fast the fire was spreading and felt an urge to rush out there and help with dousing the flames. Making up his mind, the boy backed away and started to walk back to his bed to get his boots, until the door swung open.

"You're not supposed to be out of bed yet."

"Who are you?" Naruto asked with wide eyes.

"I'm just a man, trying to finish what he started." He reached over to his belt and drew a dagger, stylized and beautiful.

"Y-You pushed me from the tower?!" Naruto asked with wide eyes.

"Figured it out that fast?" The man asked with a disgusting smirk on his face.

He rushed forward, kicking Naruto to the stone floor, ready to take his life. The man stomped on Naruto's gut and kicked his back, forcing him over onto his chest. Blood was starting to course from his head scar, filling his body with power. Naruto glared when his legs started to strengthen and his arms began to feel loose and free. Before the man could bring his blade down onto Naruto, the man was suddenly tackled by a grey blob of grey.

Naruto rolled over as the man yelped and screamed, crying out for help. He begged for mercy, but none came from the newcomer. Naruto watched Grey Wind maul into the man, digging his maw into the man's back and spine, chewing him to death. He screamed as Grey Wind peeled his sunk his teeth into his muscles and peeled skin from his bones. The man wasn't dead yet and it seemed that Grey Wind was taking his sweet time killing the man. Before long, in a puddle of blood, the man lay with no throat or neck to see, save for the bloodied spine that was left in its wake.

Grey Wind's maw was covered in blood, his teeth pained crimson with flesh dangling in between. For a moment, Naruto actually forgot that direwolves were hunters and powerful creatures to behold. Grey Wind watched Naruto, keeping hazelnut eyes locked with Naruto's Baratheon sapphire. Robb rushed into the room, his sword drawn and a glare marring his face. He was panting but immediately sighed in relief. Naruto was alive and well and Grey Wind saved him.

Ice. There was so much ice. Everywhere, ice and snow build in all directions. He was here, struggling against the heavy winds. Snow pelted his body and pressed against his face. Naruto looked down to his hands and found he was glowing with a golden fire, and strange black markings all over his body. At least he was no longer wearing that ridiculous orange garb that he had on before. He stared throughout the strange snowy land, wondering what had happened to the previous world he was in.

Next to him, standing on a black platform of sorts was the same black haired man from before. One eye was a blood red eye with three strange markings surrounding his pupil and the other eye was completely red with even more strange markings surrounding the pupil. The two of them were glaring at something. They were in a fight, but Naruto just couldn't figure out who they were supposed to be battling. In the far distance, over strange rocky outcroppings with icicles and snow fall, a castle of shimmering ice was seen.

"Naruto, behind us!" The man cried out.

The boy opened his eyes.

He pulled the bed furs off of his body and sat up, revealing his booted feet. Everywhere, friends and family were watching him with worry. He was restless in his sleep and Maester Luwin didn't know what to make of it. He didn't say a word though and slid his legs over, resting his feet on the bed frame. His hands rested on his knees and his mind was empty. His eyes seemed dulled over. His skin was pale compared to what it normally was. His back was hunched and his body trembled.

Sasuke. Naruto thought. I remember your name…it's Sasuke.

So, I'm pretty sure some of you will begin to guess what this means right?

Oh, by the way, the challenger said that Naruto couldn't know how to use chakra and at the most only be able to heal, strengthen his body and increase his agility; nothing more.

Naruto won't be godlike in this fanficion so, don't expect that.

I also MIGHT make this a harem with Sansa and Daenerys. MIGHT
