Well wow the one chapter I posted doubled the reviews and the follower count. So time to answer more questions from the recent reviews.

First to the many guests/followers that are up to this point glad your liking it this far. Yes we all hate Joffery but surprised not many commented on the ending parts of Chapter 3. Regardless glad people are enjoying the new world I have created within GoT.

Now someone mentioned Ned Stark. You think I wouldn't include Ned fricken Stark in this? The majority of the characters will appear using Varys as the link to those said characters. While at the same tim Rokugai is expanding in power already potentially getting a 10th clan(Making the total 11).

So I wanted to ask for the next chapter since this will have the Uzui deliberating mostly so those politics will be put off to the side for next chapter. Rokugai is balancing fully uniting Ulthos while playing around the game created by the Lannisters while increasing a presence in Westeros.

In one of the questions I ask: What should the Uzui's colours and symbol be? They are a nomadic tribal group beyond the Mountain wall.

Now Enuji1799 asked about Oichi. Now the priestess is simply a term of a traditional shrine dancer. There will be rituals but until the dragons are born nothing will really come from the rituals that are mostly that of good blessings onto sick or men about to go into battle.

Also NO there will not be guns. They haven't even gotten to the invention of the crossbow barely yet. Samurais were strong in that era with the simple use of tactics, swords, spears, and bows.

We will be introducing Ruei Fukaze who I am unsure if you are going to love(Who loves bows?) So in my next question tell me if who your favorite Great Lord/Lady is by description alone(There might be a high favorite already I can tell.) If you can't tell me just tell me your favorite Clan Banner then.

Also the ship thing I will say they are based Japanese ships.

Ruei Fukaze

Forest Wall – Western Fukaze Clan

Ruei stared in her light armor that was coated Green with wings on a shoulder piece on her drawing shoulder is. It granted her complete protection from any arrows aimming to disable her ability to fire a volley. She really means a volley as she drew back 3 arrows at once then fire them into the air along with her bowmen along the wall.

The arrows flow along with the wind before slowly and masterfully landing straight into enemies charging at the wall with hooks and ropes getting sniped down before they were even close. The trees were making it hard to aim but it gave Ruei and her bowmen the perfect practice.

Yes she just called fighting off the Forest Raiders simple dummies for target practice with the trees the simple obstacle blocking their view. Sure they could just target and draw straight into them at a straight angle through the branches however what they were doing was allowing long range artificial siege warfare using wind conditions to land their marks on targets from afar.

It has what kept the Forest Raiders at a somewhat safe distance from the Forest Wall a wall made half from brick half from the tree trunks are rather overly sized trees providing a strudy defense to the wall. The roots of the tree wrapping over to the stone enticing enemies to use the ledges for rest when climbing only to get them in a trap of a volley or soldiers narrow windows along the front of the wall that lets spearmen the use to stab through if needed however the spearmen are mostly just left to sit around and watch as all of the bowmen practice.

The bowmen fire volley after volley arrows simply landing into the top of shoulders or heads of the Forest Raiders. After less than an hour of these volleys the Forest Raiders run away to their camps to recover which is why Ruei called for the Kishu to come in and simple run down the rest of the Forest Raiders who should already be tired and have low morale.

Ruei looked around then checked on the trainers seeing how well her bowmen regiment did. "Good job Gryphis." She said her black steel bow being latched to her back her quiver hanging sideways laying on her lower back. She only used about 5 arrows. So 5 rounds of volleys was all that was needed. Cost effecient so she used 3 more for the last two volleys ending with 3 Forest Raiders seperately killed due to her expert judging in the winds.

Some say she is a mystic or a real like talker of the wind. One who can communicate with the wind or even seeing the gusts of flowing wind in a green color similar to the color of her banner. The Gryphon was a creature she supposedly saw one time at a high cliff near Bashin's lands only for it to disappear with a flap of its wings.

Ruei was awe struck and fell in love with flying animals using their techniques to improve the creation of bows and arrows along with the creation of this new style of using a bow. On an open field the enemies numbers would drop in half before the battle began limiting losses and winning a battle.

It is why she has all of the bowmen from around Rokugai gather here so they can learn her ways and be taught how to use this style so it is consistent all across the board in the case of a war. Rokugai is always prepared for war much to the dismay of the Oda's however the 9 clans understand they need to always be prepared so they can be called to arms and gather as a unified unite against whatever the foe may be.

Ruei descends the wall letting her bowmen continue their practicing firing as well as keeping on the look out for the Forest Raider's movements. This is mainly done through scouts who use the trees to traverse the area beyond the wall. It is a competitive edge Ruei made her men learn as rookies especially the bowmen who can use this tactic to take out the unsuspecting raiders below when the Kishu arrive for their oppressing offensive.

Ruei yawned softly tired from the partial waste of time having servants take off her light armor and put her bow and quiver to the display in her hall before asking for a cup of tea and lunch. It was already hotly prepared for herjust being fish, rice, and a bit of a rabbit which she makes sure not to eat around Hana Shinrin. Rabbit was her favorite meal out here.

From the messages she was getting the feast had went well along with the meeting with Westeros except a few incidents it seems. Sokudo was transperent with his information and dealings with his Great Lords or Ladys meaning they knew he had ninjas in Westeros and his plans.

Sokudo wasn't planning dominanting Westeros simply a plan to get rid of the corruption currently unnder King Robert who Sokudo met personally. Seems Sokudo took a liking to Robert before the meeting and is already trying to find loopholes and ideas to help Robert. Ruei sipped her tea as she read the message.

"The Shogun really plans ahead. Poor Mirai if only she was older the Shogun might have a bride at this point." Ruei joked.

"Isn't that true." Said a voice unfazing Ruei.

"Neimi your late." Ruei stated simply to Kishu's daughter.

"S-Sorry Great Lady Ruei." Neimi said softly showing way more respect than normal due to her respect to the Great Ladies dreaming to become one herself.

"It is fine come you must be hungry." Ruei stated as Neimi walks in then sits down.

"So how is the Shogun anyways?" Neimi asked as her food came.

"Doing fine it seems... The meeting seems to be going good. He thinks of them would be beneficial to work with however there is a fmaily filled with problems." Ruei said simply.

"The Shogun is already being careful making sure no mistakes are made." Neimi stated eating her fish.

"True. We plan to trade art in exchange for a lower price of gold to help pay off the debt the crown has apparently." Ruei stated then closed the messsage.

"Art? Thats all?" Neimi asked.

"Plus free trade but that isn't major compared to what we are offering. Question is how to make sure it gets poured straight into getting rid of the debt." Ruei simply stated.

Neimi thought for a bit. "Right the nearest port with be through the Lannisters. They might simply take the money themselves to increase their banks."

"So we would have to find a different route of making sure the funds are given straight to the crown." Stated Ruei in thought.

"Why not have someone manage it all" Neimi asked.

"True we won't need to do such here but having someone over there would be a good idea." Ruei said simply rubbing her chin.

"A private trade port maybe?" Neimi added.

"Something we could entirely have control over... I wonder what could give us that kind of ground." Ruei stated.

Neimi was silent then whispered. "I think the King has a honorable friend from what I heard. They live in the northern parts of Westeros and over see the region. I think we will have good luck going through them."

Ruei stared at Neimi. "Did Sokudo ask you to eavesdrop while you were there?"

"That and a couple more things." Neimi grinned.

"I swear... Your a Kishu not a White Ninja." Ruei simply said in disbelief.

"Yes but I have my duty to follow orders... Do you think we will be force to be at war with Westeros in the future?" Neimi asked.

"If we are then we are. Sure we have a overseas trip however if we can establish a footing on the land... But we have the technology, tactics, and warriors capable of just a feat." Ruei stated then looked out of the window at the garden just outside of the room they were relaxing in.

"Furthermore the unification of Ulthos is nearly complete. The Uzui joining us will quicken the pace. I think they will be more used for scouting Ulthos, if the rest if just wild areas the Uzui in theory could control the rest of Ulthos except for the Forest Raiders territory that is." Ruei continued.

"So you think the Forest Raiders will join us?" Neimi asked.

"In due time but for now we just need to keep hitting them with out superior strength." Ruei simply stated.

"Yikes getting pretty confident there Ruei." Neimi pointed at Ruei.

"Quiet young one. Westeros doesn't control the winds as much as we do." Ruei stated with a glare.

"True plus we have our wonderful Oda Priestess as well." Neimi unfazed by the glare said.

Ruei sighed then took another sip of tea. "That will be quite the feat to convince here to do anymore than dance for us." Ruei then just went silent same with Neimi before the two went straight back to work.

Sokudo Satori

White Dragon Palace – Oshu

Sokudo yawned for a start as he woke up and started the day cleansing himself of the events of yesterday both in body and mind. He meditated to start then cleaned himself up with new robes and a clean body as per usual. Mirai was fully recovered from what a servant told him but he ordered for Mirai to take the day off and stay in bed just incase.

He had important business today to take care of. For the most part it was to create a divide between Robert and the Lannisters to get the king out of harm's way of their dark dealings. First order of business was to find a way to get the money added straight to the Iron Banks for the crown.

Sokudo was thinking of ways to get such to happen, luckily Neimi told him off Robert's friend in the North region of Westeros. He figured it was something to look into and what does he know the man is named Ned Stark he was apart of Robert's rebellion and a long standing friend of Robert's it seems. He is a honorable man who has a 'bastard' which to Sokudo simply means a son. To them in Rokugai children born not by the mother wed to the man is frown upon.

In time bastards are accepted due to their actions. Anyone could rise up or shed away unwlecoming pasts to become greater people. From what Sokudo heard Robert was planning a trip to the North from here in Rokugai. Maybe this was a opportunity he would need he thought.

First was to discuss with Robert he thought as he asked a couple of servants to have King Robert come to the great hall at noon. At this time he had his Ninjas be on high alert of the Lannister's movements making sure they do not get near the Great Hall as well as make sure they do nothing heinous or questionable.

They wouldn't reveal themselves but would call upon a guard to stop them. Sokudo knew the Lannisters are not stupid but his Ninjas were better than the spies the Lannisters have moving around the city disappearing one by one due to the work of his White Ninjas that he had Tosa trained.

However from what the reports he noticed. Tywin was less of a decietful man, the man was smart and didn't seem to have such bloating ideals. Most likely this is mostly due to the actions of the younger generations of Tywin's kin. Still the man was known as being a great commander on the battlefield in Westeros, if he were to beat this man on the battlefield at all Sokudo wonders what kind of message that would bring.

Regardless Tywin was not his enemy but more of a secret observing ally perhaps? He didn't have enough infomation to know but he knows who to avoid: Cersei Lannister. He noticed the glares he got from the woman after the show he put on for them.

Its a good thing we didn't do it to embarassed Joffery however it seems his spoiled ways will not end with a simply trick he thought. The mother would not allow that even hiring an assassin to kill Mirai to teach Sokudo a lesson only for it to fail with the assassin now behind bars being asked questions as he thought this.

Sokudo sighed he was facing a cunning foe but one with only a bark not much of a solid ground to work within Rokugai with. Cersei or any of the Lannisters didn't scare him, mostly due to them being in a land they don't understand how it works. Its a battle they could not even attempt to win from what he can see however he can't underestimate them just yet.

For now Sokudo had to focus on Robert. He sat down at a chair at a table at the center of the hall then sees King Robert walk in. "Ah King Robert thank you for coming. Please sit." He motioned to the chair across from the table.

King Robert did such. "Your servant said you summoned me to talk about something? Is it about that debt thing you talked about?" Robert asked a bit angry.

Sokudo nodding. "Partially yes but please King Robert calm your anger. I only simply want to help you not make matters worse if it is within my abilities of doing so."

Robert staed at Sokudo before calming himself. "It is not easy. Being the King of Westeros and all."

"It is not easy being Shogun either." Sokudo joked only getting a laugh from Robert.

"I suppose your right... So then shall we get down to it?" Robert asked getting a nod as Sokudo snapped his fingers.

A servant walked in with a cart carrying the multicolored dragon piece from yesterday. Along with them from the ceiling three White Ninja appear next to the cart after it stopped to the side of Sokudo kneeling on the floor with a bow.

"W-Who in blazes are those three?" Robert asked.

"My White Ninjas.. They are akin to your spies but on a entirely different level on how they work and do things." Sokudo simply said nodding to the three. The leader of the three nodded then presented a scroll handing it to King Robert who took it slowly looking at it.

"Whats this?" King Robert asked a bit skeptical.

"Its a report from my Ninjas. I am sorry to say that I had them plant themselves within King's Landing and Lannisport. I have come in contact with your spykeeper Varys, we have been collaberating for a short time but we have found some things you need to see King Robert." Sokudo stated in a stern voice his demeanour turning serious.

"You... Are spying on my lands and capital?!" Robert asked outraged.

"I can say the same about you." Sokudo waved a hand as from a screen door to their right came two guards. One had a captive westerosi spy while the other had the assassin.

"W-Who are those two I never seen them in m-"

"Life? Yes your right cause you didn't employ them." Sokudo stated.

"Yes never in my... Wait you know I didn't?" Robert asked.

"As I said I am a friend not an enemy Robert unless you wish for me to be." Sokudo joked.

"N-No..." Robert sated then opened the scroll reading it. "W-Wait... This is.."

"Yes... Jon Arryn was killed before you made this trip yes? That wasn't an accident and they plan to do the same to you Robert. The Lannisters maybe not all but the majority what you dead and out of power." Sokudo stated letting Robert read the rest of the report before looking Sokudo.

"You.. Looked into this all in just a short amount of time?" Robert asked getting a nod from Sokudo.

"For the most part yes. Mainly for a personal gain until my Ninjas uncovered this plot by them. My own representatives reported their actions being... Dishonest." Sokudo said then points at the spies and assassins.

"You are my friend however the Lannisters not only are spying on my lands... Doing a poor job of that mind you. While also threating the lives of my own people even a person who I treat as a adopted daughter." Sokudo stated bit angry.

"Whose life? Wait is it that servant?" Robert asked.

"Yes her name is Mirai. She is a servant but also one of my Ninjas so you know. She is in training still and was overworked from her training it seems. Still her life was put in danger Robert if that is not evidence enough of their dark dealings then I don't know what else to tell you." Sokudo stated.

Robert as silent then looked at the art. "So you think they plan to disrupt our trade?"

"Yes they will since the only port we have access to..." Sokudo began.

"Lannisport... That makes sense.. But what could we do to bypass it?" Robert asked.

"You have a friend in the North yes?" Sokudo asked asking a servant to pour tea for them both.

"Ned?" Robert asked knowing Sokudo already did his research. "He is a honorable fellow."

"Well why not make the North the center of trade between us and the crown? We plan to establish someone to manage the route from our own nation to do the job. However if we use the North to help solidify that route.."

Robert nodded. "We can for sure the money helping pay off the debt of the Crown... I was just about to ask Ned to be my Hand of the King as well"

"A wise choice King Robert. He is your.. At this point aside from Varys your only ally. Your commander of the Kingsguard is a ally as well but he is still on man" Sokudo told Robert simply shocking the King.

"Thats it?!" King Robert stated.

"That is it sadly. However you have something the Lannisters." Sokudo stated with a small grin.

Robert thought for a minute then stared at Sokudo. "You?" Sokudo nods.

"You have me and a unified nation of lords against a defying family and group of people wishing nothing but your death. Along with your Northern friends we vary much outnumber whatever they could send our way." Sokudo said.

Robert stared at Sokudo. "Why do you trust me so much? We are strangers split by a ocean?"

"I trust you, cause you are a man with a history that can not be questioned. Aside from your overly excessive desires." Sokudo blushed with coughed catching Robert off guard.

"T-Thats just my natural instinct of a man!" Robert said in defense.

"Y-Yes I hear you. Regardless you can be trusted entirely, you have poor management but as a friend and ally you are someone I wish to work with not those Lannisters who use dirty tricks." Sokudo stated.

"Well your behind me but what about..." Robert began.

"Us?" A voice rang as Robert turned to the voices seeing all of the Great Lords/Ladys at the entryway.

"W-What are they doing here?" Robert asked shocked.

"What do you mean?" Terra asked with a chuckle walking up patting Robert's back. "We got your back big guy just relax."

"Whatever the Shogun decides we follow, even then we all think the same as him to begin with." Baku stated walking to the side of Sokudo pulling out a document then handing it to Robert as the other Lords/Ladys gather.

"Whats this?" Robert asked.

"An official declaration of an alliance between the Crown and Rokugai. We will become official allies and friends so long as King Robert is King of the Seven Kingdoms. Meaning we as a unified nation back you King Robert." Hana Shinrin stated bowing to the man.

"Welcome to the group big guy!" Terra laughed confusing Robert.

"Group? What group?" Robert asked.

"You will be an artificial Great Lord of Rokugai you won't gain power from here however it grants you a way to go to for help. Like say if you have to flee you can come here. This same document will be signed by Ned Stark to have him join this group comprised of the 9... No I mean 10 great clans, The North, and The Crown." Kami stated crossing his arms.

"You all thought this up?" Robert asked as Sokudo presents a pen.

"No Sokudo thought this plan up on a short notice." Stated Yatturo Kishu.

Robert coughed staring at Sokudo. "You all by yourself and you convince them all?!"

"Not hard as Shogun. However in order to make this work I have a request King Robert." Sokudo stated.

"A request? What might that be?" Robert asked.

"Take me along to your trip to The North" Sokudo simply stated.

"...Alright I'll make the arrangements." Robert stated simply.

Sokudo raised an eyebrow. "That was fast... Why the quick reply?"

"Because as you said I can only trust you and Ned right now. I believe that after all you already done for me to perserve my kingdom and the crown." Robert stated.

Sokudo was a bit surprised to hear this before smiling. "That is what allies are for. We can make a plan before we make the trip then."

"A plan?" Robert asked.

Sokudo got up then looked out the window silently after walking over to it staring at Oshu below. "Yes... A plan."

"What plan?" Robert asked as the Great Lords/Ladys smiled at Robert then looked to Sokudo who turned to everyone at that time.

"A plan... To beat the Lannisters and their game." Sokudo said simply with a smirk.

"How do you plan to do that?" Robert asked.

"It isn't hard. We have Varys on our side. Along with that we have another ally that Tywin overlooked if he is apart of all of this." Sokudo stated walking back over to the table.

"You think Tywin isn't?" Robert asked.

"Its possible it is Cersei's complete doing but if not then we have someone who is instantly an ally." Stated Sokudo pointing at a name from the scroll.

Robert looked down then his eyes widen. "Him?!"

"Yes him" Sokudo turned and paused. "Tyrion Lannister."

Tyrion Lannister

Castlery Rock – Westerlands

Tyrion simply stared at the note that was in his hands that he was reading. The study he was using to work on paperwork was accompanied by a white outfited man kneeling to him from the otherside of the desk with his guards were not in the room but he didn't call for them.

For some reason Tyrion didn't feel threatened, but he did feel an opportunity regardless as he accepted the note from the unknown white donned figure that was in his current study. From what he can tell it was a note made by the Shogun of Rokugai the nation his father had just went to.

It was not what Tyrion was expecting though in terms of contents, it was talking about a secret plan created by his family. He was wondering why the Shogun was sharing this info with him when he could simply reveal this to his family to begin with to mess up the Shogun's plans however there was a bit of a thought of it being a bad idea for the King to die.

If the King died Joffery, his horrible nephew, would become the next King that is something he simply cannot allow to happen. The spoiled kid would only lead the Seven Kingdoms to ruin and anger he thought. That is not how one keeps a series of kingdoms united.

It seemed the Rokugai have corrected this idea and become a complete unified nation under the banner of The Shogun. Instantly making them a solid ally if they were on Robert's side, a side that with the Rokugai by his side was the winning side most likely. The North seems to be on Robert's side in this case as well making them have a foothold of influence in the kingdoms.

The question is cant Rokugai keep its unification if it came to Westeros. Judging from what he was told about the nation they will probably won't be fazed by anything. The Shogun does not seem to be the type that will easily die or back down without a fight. A cunning man Tyrion thought.

A honest yet cunning man who is transperant in what he does. A man Tyrion believes he can get along with. The note is telling Tyrion to stay in Castlery Rock as his father will soon return. But during this time dig up info they can use against the Lannisters. He can use what the Shogun calls his White Ninjas to send back a message to buy more time if needed.

Tyrion throws the note into a fire then turned to the White Ninja. "So your a White Ninja. Is it a sin in your country to get a stain on the.. White set pieces?"

"No sir it is not. But we do have to hand wash them many times in order to get them out. So we are just naturally trying to avoid getting them dirtied." The White Ninja stated.

"I see... Tell your Shogun I accept being apart of his alliance. I will see what I can do about the infomation he is asking for. Will you be watching over me?" Tyrion asked.

"Yes I will. Mostly as protection but also your way of transfering messages between yourself and The Shogun." The ninja explained.

"I see.. Do you drink wine?" Tyrion asked.

"No since it clouds the mine like Sake." The ninja took out a small bag filled with little seed looking herbs. "But I do like tea."

"Tea? I never tried it. What do we need?" Tyrion asked.

"Simply hot water and patience really." The ninja stated going to the water heating it over the flame putting the tea herbs into the water then walking over to the desk pouring the tea into wine glasses.

"Well... Something that doesn't look red like blood for once." Tyrion stated.

"As it should be." The ninja stated before drinking his tea despite the cup being hot.

"Well I am not one to stop myself from trying something new." Tyrion drank the tea then gasped. "H-Hot! What in blazes!"

"Well of course it is hot I just got it out of the fire." The ninja stated.

"True..." Tyrion tries again. "Numbs my tongue though.. But it tastes good and calms you." Tyrion commented.

"Thats the effect of tea. Now then enjoy your say." The ninja finished his tea before going to the Balcony then falling off the railing shocking Tyrion making him run to the balcony to only see the ninja already safely on the ground.

"...What did I get myself into." Tyrion said in disbelief.
