Before I get started on this chapter, I would like to announce that I would now be put on a twice weekly update schedule. This means that every Saturday, either one of the following will be updated, Naruto Riker or Naruto: Hail to the King as my two main projects. This week, it will be Hail to the King as I have a bone to pick with a reviewer who shall remain nameless.

For starters, sir, I very seriously doubt that you have read all of my commentary. If you had, you would have known that I am relatively new to the Game of Thrones universe. If you wanted to read a story about a Naruto character in the Game of Thrones story, I know of three stories off hand that you would find more enjoyable than this, in your opinion, snorefest, but considering that I have received positive feedback so far, I think that I am in pretty decent shape so far.

Second, I hate flashbacks as a matter of personal taste. Do not presume that I will fill in the story with them just to tell one half of the story when I can easily save that content for a prequel, something that is likely going to happen with this story.

Finally, The ships issue. I have already stated last chapter in the author's notes that the purpose of the wall was to keep the White Walkers (White Zetsu) out, not ordinary humans who lived north in the Elemental countries. Any human can bypass the wall with a boat.

Now that this is over with, on with the chapter please:

Father,

I am writing this letter to notify you that His Grace, King Naruto of the House Uzumaki, has taken a bride that is not high born. What makes the matter even worse is that he had sired a child with the woman before his expulsion from his former homeland, the village known as Konoha, though his knowledge of the child was severely limited.

Though that child would not be able to take the Iron Throne by our laws, there is nothing that would stop the boy from seeking the throne of his mother's homeland, the island nation now known as the Land of Waves, as is his birthright as the heir of the Uzumaki ninja clan.

However, I feel that we need the boy tied to our bloodline, whether it is for good or for ill, I do not know, but in the current political atmosphere, it should be good for us Lannisters.

Your son,

Tyrion Lannister

Tywin Lannister looked up from the letter. Though the king is making good for her, the fact that he had a child out of wedlock did not look good for him. Any well respected lord knew that. However, his son's suggestion may prove profitable for the entire seven kingdoms. Yes, however he doesn't have any girls of age yet to make it a reality, but the Starks do.

Calling for a scribe, he commanded a raven to be sent to Winterfell, "with all due haste," the master scribe would later recount.

Winterfell

The raven from Casterly Rock did arrive the next day. The letter inside did little to better Eddard's mood. That mood was reflected to Hiashi Hyuuga who caught his gaze while he was training his daughter. Asking for a small break, Hiashi walked to Eddard and glided to his left. "My lord," he stated, "what has soured your mood this fine day?"

"Lannisters," Eddard stated.

"I don't see how they have anything to do with Winterfell, my lord."

"The Imp has found out that His Grace has had a son out of wedlock."

"And the mother?"

"Set to become Queen of the Seven Kingdoms."

A preverbal lightbulb went off in Hiashi's head as there was only one woman in Konoha besides his daughter who would want to be with Naruto on a intimate level. "Ayame Ichiraku," he muttered to himself.

Eddard heard him. "How does the King know her?"

The pair stopped walking. "When the King was a boy, no one in our village cared for him. All but her and her father. When the lynchpin of Team 7 defected to another village, a mission was issued to capture and retrieve him alive. He had to kill him. This sent the civilians into a riot, calling for his blood, and he was immediately arrested. There was no trial. The village wanted him dead. The night before he was to escape, he was granted one night with a willing woman. Neither knew that night that there was a son born from that union. I obviously was there to confirm for the village that there wasn't any pregnancy. I lied."

"Thank the gods you did. You told them to leave the village?"

"Yes, but I didn't know where Naruto would run to so that I can tell her to follow him."

"Maybe I shouldn't be mad at the Lannisters for their crazy idea then."

"Why?"

"They want the King's son to be wed with someone from one of the houses of Westeros."

"A sound idea. Who do they have in mind?"

"Ayra."

King's Landing

"How dare you all," King Naruto yelled at his Small Council, "I am to be wed in a month, and all you people are thinking about is who is going to marry into my line through my son, who is five summers old."

"Your Grace," Robert tried to be the voice of reason, "try to think about the social aspects of a non-highborn heir."

"I know the laws, Ser Robert. Minato shall not inherit the Iron Throne as should be his birth right, so please try again."

Tyrion Lannister then spoke up, "It wasn't the Iron Throne that we are all concerned about. It is the Lordship of the Uzumaki Ninja Clan." Naruto froze at that. He didn't consider that at all.

Sitting down on the Iron Throne, Naruto gazed at the door. "My apologies, Ser Robert," he said in a calm manner before he turned to his small council, "however, who my son will wed will be a matter for my wife and I, and no one else."

An acknowledgement from the small council later and the subject was dropped. "Master of the Coin, what is the status of the wedding tournament," Naruto asked.

Petyr Baelish, the Master of the Coin, spoke up, "Your Grace, by your command we have successfully funded the tournament with 20,000 Gold Dragons to the winner of the joust, 10,000 each to the winners of the Archery contest and the Melee."

"Good. I want a special 10,000 Gold Dragon purse set aside to cover any betting that I am sure that I will make at the tournament. I'm sure that I have that much lying around since my last name day tournament, right?"

A groan echoed through the chamber at the remembrance of that tournament. It was a very painful experience for those who bet against him, and with the Royal wedding a month away, it was sure to repeat itself, though the new queen would put a limit on his betting, that they would be sure of.

Author's Notes and Statistics

Yes, I know that I should have addressed the retribution that the Fire Lord would give to the insult that he suffered, but to be honest, I lost the file that I had the chapter on. This produced a better result anyways.

Next on my update schedule is Naruto Riker, but when I next update this story, it should cover the Royal Wedding and Tournament. That is the plan at least.
