A Maelstrom in Westeros
Disclaimer: Naruto and Game of Thrones does not belong to me, I am just borrowing the characters for this story.
Naruto had found Daenerys when he had gone in search of the previous royal family that had ruled Westeros all those years ago. Before Robert Baratheon had taken the throne, it was inhabited by the Mad King. It was a line descended from the dragons of old, or so the old journals had said. When he had happened upon the two last remaining members of the royal family, he was surprised by the beauty of Daenerys and the idiocy of Viserys. Lying in wait for days at a time, Naruto had waited for just the right moment to introduce himself to the wide eyed future queen. It just so happened that Viserys had been feeling particularly vicious one day preparing to beat his own sister to satiate his frustration with the continued humiliation he had endured. What he hadn't seen coming was the kick to the back of his useless head. Viserys never did find out who had knocked him unconscious, though he had his suspicions that it was Daenerys, but had no proof. Not really the entrance that Naruto had wanted but it served as an ice breaker for him to meet with Daenerys. While overcoming the shock of seeing her cruel brother being knocked on his butt, Daenerys discovered that Naruto had been following them for a very long time.
He had told her of the conflict that was building in the far off kingdom and how it could lead to a war that would split the realm. If she would come home than maybe they could unite the realm under one banner and truly bring peace to the common people. She had been suspicious at first, there was no one in the realms who would actually want to proclaim her queen. They all wanted to lop off her head and use her body for themselves. Or at least that's what Viserys had always said. Naruto did not force the issue but he continued to visit Daenerys throughout the week and explain to her the situation across the Narrow Sea.
Eventually Naruto knew that there would be no reason for Daenerys to go back unless something really drastic happened. And it just so happened that one event that would shape the very lives beyond the Narrow Sea would be decided by an oversized brute who had been promised Daenerys for an army. Viserys had grown tired of the waiting and the cheese monger had sped up the time table of the pact that would link Daenerys with the Dothraki.
Across the Narrow Sea laid the wasteland that the Dothraki had taken as their own, they would enslave and pillage the sands all for the sake of their false gods. There would be a few khalasar that would roam the desert all in search of new women to rape and men to kill. One such khalasar was led by the mighty Khal Drogo. He was a fearsome man who fought everyone that had challenged him and won to become the leader of the largest khalasar seen in recent memory. He was currently headed to a merchant's home to make a deal with some pompous foreigner for a flimsy young thing.
He was not impressed by the doe eyed stare and fear in the young woman's eyes. She would not be strong enough to breed for his heir and the next Khal of his horde. He needed a true Dothraki who would bear him sons that could fight and maim as well as he could. Shaking his head at the putrid offering by the cheese monger, he galloped off in search of new prizes. That is until he saw a brief flash of recognition in the flimsy thing's eye. Looking back over his shoulder, Khal Drogo spotted a small, puny little man who seemed to walk with a practiced ease.
The Khal was not amused that his offering was showing affection for such a miniscule pest. Deciding that it was in his right to slay the weird foreigner, Khal Drogo rode hard at the man and prepared to separate his head from between his shoulders. What he didn't count on was the agility and finesse the teen possessed. The boy had walked around him like he wasn't even there. He could see the movements but could not follow through with his motion to kill the teen.
Turning his stallion around, Khal Drogo dug his heels into the horse and ran at a full gallop at the teen. This time he would crush him under foot and show the doe eyed girl that she was his and his alone.
Shaking his head at the brute in front of him, Naruto calmly produced a small kunai that he casually flung toward the moron. The knife struck true and the horse keeled over after it had been struck directly in the head. Khal Drogo was driven to the ground and slid until he was face down in front of Naruto. Spitting out rocks and leaves, Drogo was furious he was being made to look a fool by a peasant with a beaming smile on his face.
He would show this upstart there was no one more fearsome and bloodthirsty in the world. His horde had gathered to stand with their leader, but Drogo signaled for them to stand clear. He would be the one that would relish in the blood of this baby that had dared kill his horse.
With a sigh from his lips, Naruto assumed a lackadaisical stance and gave the universal come toward me gesture. He was bored so maybe this little dance would amuse him a bit. He could see that the man in front of him was a beast with brute strength, but he had always been more of a sneaky opponent. He would always find the weak link in his opponent's armor and exploit it for his benefit; the man in front of him was no different.
He had guessed correctly and Drogo charged in with a head full of steam intent on ripping the teen apart. Side stepping the telegraphed motion, Naruto delivered a staggering elbow in passing. Drogo could feel the contents of his lunch bubbling up his esophagus. Staring wide eyed at the teen, Drogo could not believe that this puny boy had caused so much damage to him.
He was the elite of his Khalasar, there were none that could injure him with a mere elbow. Unfortunately for Drogo, Naruto wasn't a patient man; he followed up his attack with a sweeping kick that took out the legs from Drogo. Once on the floor, Naruto tackled him onto the ground and started pummeling him repeatedly with his fists. From the way that Naruto was built the punches should have done nothing to Drogo, but he felt each and every one. The power behind them was palpable; it was like being hit by a ton of bricks.
Bloody and concussed on the floor, Drogo still would not forfeit. Standing up to his knees, Drogo again charged at the teen and again Naruto delivered a devastating attack that knocked Drogo to the ground.
To say the Khalasar was stunned would be an understatement; there was no one alive that could outfight Khal Drogo. But this mysterious stranger had not only beaten the Khal, but done it in such a way that he would be humiliated for the rest of his life. It had been such a bright day for Drogo, but it had all ended in misery at the feet of Naruto.
It wasn't such a surprise for anyone that knew the power that Naruto wielded, the people of this world were mere ants compared to the likes of Madara or Hashirama Senju.
Turning back to what he had truly come here for, Naruto greeted Daenerys and laughed at her stunned look of disbelief. "How did you do that Naruto?"
"Oh a little misdirection and some applied pressure and anyone can beat morons. He wasn't so special was he?" Naruto had known who Drogo was all along, but wanted to play down the massacre plus cause Drogo to perform one last ditch feat of stupidity. Drogo had the gall to attack Daenerys to try to lure Naruto out of his comfort zone, but Naruto had sensed the pathetic tactic and delivered the final nail in the coffin.
Infusing wind chakra into kunai, Naruto lopped off the surprised head of Khal Drogo in full view of his khalasar. All this was done without turning his head; Naruto had continued his conversation with Daenerys like he was talking about the weather. When in actuality he had assassinated one of the most dangerous men on this side of the Narrow Sea.
Shocked by the events taking place around her, Daenerys paled at the body of the horse lord at her feet. Finally turning his head at the man who wouldn't take no for an answer, Naruto draped his overcoat on top of the decaying body and head.
Deciding to take their conversation indoors, Naruto gestured Daenerys toward the open door and foyer. Looking back at the khalasar, Naruto stared down the few brave enough to dare challenge him. He promised pain on those that had even the inkling to harm Daenerys; she was now under his protection. After her no good brother had tried to sell her off to Khal Drogo, Naruto decided to intervene on the matter.
He was rather fond of the young woman; she was just as beautiful as the women he had ensnared in Westeros. And she was pure and good in this world of corruption and filth, he couldn't believe there were still those among the living here in Westeros. With a final glance to the retreating horde, Naruto signaled his clones to follow the pack and report on their movements.
Entering the home of the cheese monger, Naruto noticed the extravagant wealth that this man held. There was enough food and wine to feed everyone in Flea Bottom for at least a week. The indulgence was nauseating, he had lived off ramen noodles for most of his younger days, and how one man could hope to eat all this was ludicrous.
Sitting at the head of the table was the cheese monger, happily munching away at a whole side of lamb. He was licking off the excess fat on his pudgy little fingers, but he stopped everything when he discovered Naruto standing in his dining room with Daenerys in tow. "What is the meaning of this? Who are you? And what are you doing in my home?"
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I am here to retrieve Daenerys. "
"Over my dead body you are! Who the heck do you think you are trying to take my meal…I mean my sister away!" Disgusted by the display of arrogance and selfishness from Daenerys's brother, Viserys was a sniveling little rat. "I don't think I asked your opinion about it, but I will ask Daenerys. What do you think? Do you want to go home?"
Shocked by the utter disregard that Naruto had for him, Viserys launched himself at Naruto in a mad fury with a serving knife in hand. Naruto easily parried the attack and launched Viserys clear across the room into the cocktail table. "As I was saying before being rudely interrupted, how about it Daenerys?"
"What…I don't know about that. I can't go back, they would kill me over in the Seven Kingdoms. I'm a wanted fugitive because of my lineage."
"Oh you don't have to worry about that, I'll protect you. Plus I'm sure we could figure out a disguise or something. I always thought your hair could use a little color." Beside himself with frustration, the cheese monger knew all this well laid plans were going up in smoke. He needed to head this off before it got too carried away. "Sir Naruto is it? I was wondering if you would possibly entertain a little proposition for the girl? I mean you can't be serious about taking her back to King's Landing? They would kill her on sight."
"I am very serious, and I don't believe it is any of your business Illyrio. Unless you believe you have the means to stop me?" Showcasing that he wasn't without some brains, Illyrio Mopatis didn't attack the teen like Viserys did. Though he was sorely tempted to put the boy on the smoker and roast him alive. How did he even get in here?
Still overwhelmed by the events that had transpired, Daenerys still wanted to go home. She had not seen Kings Landing for so long and she had all but accepted she would die in this horrible wasteland. Not feeling the strength to truly articulate her desire to go home, Daenerys just nodded her head at Naruto. Smiling at the gesture, Naruto tipped an invisible hat to Illyrio and guided Daenerys to her room to pack for the trip back home.
Having sent his clones to roam the surrounding area, Naruto knew that the cities on this side of the Narrow Sea practiced slavery. It was a common practice here to have the khalasar capture the slaves and sell it to the cities like Astapor and Yunkai where they would be trained into whatever would be needed. It was a barbaric practice that Naruto knew he would have to rid this land of, but that would be for another time. His first priority was the safety of Daenerys and her safe return to the Kings Landing.
Beyond livid, Illyrio paced his halls racking his brain for a way to salvage this horrendous situation. All thoughts came back empty as he had seen firsthand how powerful the teen was, tossing Viserys like a ragdoll. The idiot was still out cold on his well-kept floors.
Naruto could flow through his clones at will but Daenerys could not, that was why they needed to catch the first ship back to Westeros. With all of her clothing packed and supplies provided by Illyrio though not of his own volition, Naruto and Daenerys set off for the nearest port.
Watching as his great plans flittered away, Illyrio looked down to his feet and saw Khal Drogo's head staring back at him. With a shriek of fright, the rotund cheese monger waddled back in sheer terror at the mutilated head.
Laughing at the cry of terror that he heard in the wind, Naruto guessed that the cheese monger had found his going away present. 'Serves him right trying to sell Dany off to that offish brute.'
'That fat tub of lard is going to have some company soon. The Dothraki didn't take too kindly to the death of their Khal. Good work there Kit.'
'I wondered when you would show your head Kurama. Where the heck have you been?'
'I've been keeping your stupid butt alive, while you have been rutting around with the country folk.'
'Hey now, I don't think Cersei and Catelyn classify as country folk. And I haven't been rutting around.'
'Oh I'm sorry your majesty, how about pounding them to kingdom come than?'
'Whatever. Any thoughts on how we got here?'
'Your guess is as good as mine. Last thing I remember was fighting that witch.'
'You mean Kaguya?'
'Yeah she was insane. I wonder what happened after that?' Now that Kurama had mentioned it Naruto had no recollection of the events after their battle with Kaguya. It was all just a blank after the battle had started. The last memory he had was when he had awoken in this cruel world with all the hatred and pain that permeated the air. It was that sense of dread and gloom that had kick started Naruto's plan to fix this world. Though how it came to coincide with the amount of pleasure that he had caused for both the noble ladies of the world and himself, he hadn't the foggiest.
'Kit? You there?'
'Yeah, just reminiscing on the stuff that happened since you were gone.'
'Oh I have a general idea about that. Nice work though Kit. I couldn't have done it better myself.' Inwardly laughing at the praise from the infamous Kyuubi, Naruto was broken from his reverie when he spotted the wharf.
Signaling toward the captain of one of the vessels, Naruto showed him the necessary coin for passage back to Westeros. Pocketing the money, the captain motioned for the two to board and roared at his men to begin preparations to cast off. With their return underway, Naruto led Daenerys down to their cabin.
"I would keep your cloak tight, your highness. I don't think it would bode well to be recognized by the crew."
"Thank you Naruto, but how did you secure passage so quickly?"
"I had anticipated that Khal Drogo would come to claim you. Your brother had made the arrangements with that fat cheese monger weeks in advance. Securing passage on this ship wasn't that difficult when the captain had seen how much it would be worth to me." Nodding her head, Daenerys still didn't see why Naruto would do all this for her. Maybe he wanted to claim the kingdom for himself? But if that had been the case he could have just used Viserys, her brother was easy to anger but very naïve otherwise. It would be a piece of cake to lure him with women, gold or an army. Why go through all the trouble to rescue her? Naruto had killed Drogo with such ease, Daenerys held no illusions that she could just as easily be dispatched.
Sensing the distress in Daenerys, Naruto took her hands in his and had her look him in the eyes. "I promise I won't let anything happen to you Dany. It's a promise of a lifetime!" Shocked by the sincerity in the blond youths eyes, Daenerys knew that whether he meant harm or death for her, that she could not leave his side. Either he was the best liar in the world, or he really meant to sit her on the Iron Throne once more. Smiling at the teen, Daenerys nodded her head and held Naruto in a close embrace.
Surprised by the hug, Naruto shrugged his shoulders and embraced Daenerys with the same joy. It would be an interesting journey now that all the players were coming to the board. Naruto wondered how well the others would take this turn of events?
