Chapter 6-Growing Concerns

Naruto looked completely uncomfortable as his once old friends asked him questions about his time in Westeroes and the girls were all gathering around Dany and little Aerys as they all tried to convince the Targaryen queen if they could hold him, but were shot down kindly and only allowed her in-laws to hold him.

"OHhhh! He's such a cutie!" Kushina gushed on her grandson as said baby looked up with confused as Minato just smiled at the scene but asked the question that a few were thinking.

"Why name him Aerys?" Dany smiled and explained her reasons and Minato nodded with a smile of approval as the silver haired woman took her child back in her arms ignoring the protest of her mother-in-law.

"Please, please, please teach me!" Tenten begged to her blonde friend as he sighed in annoyance.

"Fine. If we have the time i'll teach you the Water Dance." Tenten whooped and bounced in excitement as Neji sweat dropped at his teammate.

"Oh can you show me some of your swords." Tenten gained stars in her eyes as Naruto reluctantly showing some of his arsenal and ended with wielding the legendary Valyrian sword Blackfyre. "Wait I thought that was a Targaryen sword how do you have it?" Sasuke asked his friend.

"I'm keeping it in my possession until Aerys comes of age to wield it. I gave Dany Dark Sister during her crowning ceremony as a gift." he summoned said blade and tossed it to his wife who gave a few strikes to her love who parried while holding her babe with great skill.

"Now who is reading?" the sage had asked as Karin tossed a book to him.

"It be interesting to hear it from the one who experienced it all." Naruto just sighed and flipped the pages.

"Before we start I want to bring in a few more people," Naruto raised his brow at the tall silver haired man "Who?" the tall man smiled "Them." he pointed to a large flash of light and the dimming light revealed...

The Starks! And their now horse sized dire wolves including two pregnant women a wildling and Robb's wife Talisa who hid behind him covering her bulging belly.

Ned Stark walked up to his friend. "Naruto what hell is going on!?" Naruto sighed and explained making the graying Stark sigh in irritation before looking up at the tall host. "If we read along with these people can we go back to Winterfell?" the being nodded and tossed extra books to the Starks while the pregnant wilding who the group found out was named Ygritte chose to listen since she wasn't given much education because of her status and previous living conditions.

Akamaru who Kiba requested after Naruto came in to join them walked up to Lady and Nymeria and tried to act cool but was scared off by a growling Grey Wind, Shaggy Dog, Ghost, and Summer and hid behind Kiba as his master's Mother and sister Hana who was brought in by Tsume were laughing even Robb and Jon were laughing at how the three dire wolves guarded their sisters.

Silver went to Naruto's side and whispered in his ear not soon after his three eyes widen and narrow on his perv for a sensei as he made hand seals and whispered "Nightmare no Jutsu."

Jiraiya was writing before his eyes glazed over before he fell on the floor and screamed as he was dreaming of a female version of himself pleasing a certain old Frey. Naruto walked up to his sensei and grabbed the notes and burned them. "Never did like your pervy books." He kicked his sensei in the balls and sat next his wife and child refusing to say anything on what had just transpired.

(The Wall-Castle Black)

Jon was not expecting such a cold reception when he got here. While he didn't expect any kind of party or celebration, Jon didn't expect a lot of scornful looks aimed at his person. Ned had warned him the previous day before they all left Winterfell, but even with all the warnings, the former Bastard of Winterfell was not welcome by many of the members of the Night's Watch, and those who were going to become members of the Night's Watch. The only two people to actually welcome his presence the best was the Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and the older blind man, Maester Aemon.

Naruto smiled at the thought of his old friend. Jon smiled too as Aemon was one of the few people who didn't act hostile to him when he went to The Wall for the first time.

"Friend of yours?" Hiruzen asked his surrogate grandson.

"Yes Aemon Targaryen, was once a good friend of mine when he was a boy, gods I miss him." Dany put a hand on her husbands shoulder. She too had mourned the loss of her family member and had his body brought to the Red Keep to be cremated as old family traditions had always done.

Hiruzen and other Konoha members smiled at seeing the blonde still held friendship in high regards.

As he walked around Jon noticed many of the Night's Watch members and their future members were those of the dishonorable persuasion. From what Tyrion had been able to learn from being his usual self, many of the people here were given the choice to take the Black, or have their heads taken off a the neck. Many of the men here had murdered their neighbors or random people, had raped women as young as 15 years old, and even stolen things they didn't need simply because they thought no one would catch them. For these men to see a former bastard rise to the ranks of being recognized as son of a High Lord made their blood boil.

Jon almost wished Tyrion was still here, but the imp of House Lannister had done what he set out to do, and left a two days ago back for Winterfell.

Currently, the angriest of all the Night's Watch members on the Wall was First Ranger Alliser Thorne. The man looked like he had never known a happy moment in his life and probably didn't if he had been up here on the Wall for most of it. The very moment Jon had arrived, Alliser instantly targeted him with an intense degree of distain, and he made it perfectly clear to Jon that he was not welcome on the Wall. Bastard or not.

Jon frowned remembering the pain in his ass that would do everything in his power to bring him down he didn't hate Alliser but he didn't like him.

"The fool made his mistake when he tried to find ways to get rid of the Wildlings." Jon thought as he himself watched as the lord commander chopped his head off as the man was spouting curses about how the Wildlings will one day stab them in the back and kill them all.

"Alliser had always been a cunt." Naruto said as he never did like Thorne, he was gonna say another insult before he was his hit across the head by his mother.

"language young man!" Naruto looked defiant "I'm 12,344 years old!" he yelled but was bonked by his mother again. "No matter how old you are, your still my son." Naruto huffed as his wife giggled at her husband. Ned looked gobsmacked as his friend who is possibly the most powerful being he has ever by his mother the other Starks were laughing in amusement of the interaction of the mother scolding her son who was couple thousand times older then her.

Until finally, Jon had enough of the glaring, jabbing words, and decided to get straight to the heart of the matter.

"Why? Why do you dislike me Alliser? What have I done to warrant your hatred of me?" asked Jon after having enough of the man's angry attitude.

"Why? Why not? You are a bastard of a High Lord. You have had a cushy lifestyle where others here have had to claw and fight for what they have now. To make things worse, you were legitimized by your Father to further secure your fancy title of Lord when you deserve to be in the dirt with the rest of the bastards here. You walk around like nothing can hurt you. Nothing can touch you. Simply because you are now named the son of a High Lord of Winterfell. As far as I'm concerned, you Jon Stark are a Snow, and I will never consider you anything more then a bastard. I don't care if you take the Black or not, but if you do try to become one of us, I will make sure your time here is not one where my fellow brothers and I wait on you hand and foot," said Alliser with Jon glaring back and got in the man's face.

"I did not ask to be a bastard of Ned Stark. I was one for the first few years of my life and it was not all pleasant. It took me years for the woman I would eventually call Mother to accept me as her son. It took a near death experience before I was granted the honor of being made an official member of House Stark. But I never took what they gave me for granted. Never! If I became a member of the Night's Watch, it would be to help defend the Wall against whatever threat resided there, and I could care less what you or anyone else thought of me. My duty is to the defense the realm. Not winning a popularity contest with the rest of the members here. If you have a problem with my existence First Ranger, then perhaps you would like to settle this with our swords and fists?" challenged Jon with Alliser narrowing his eyes at him.

"As if I want to stain my sword with your bastard blood," remarked Alliser angrily.

"And I assure you First Ranger, I would rather not stain my blade with your blood either if possible. I would have to melt the sword down into nothing after I ran it through your tiny bitter heart," countered Jon coldly with Alliser looking enraged by this.

"Enough! Alliser, leave the Stark boy alone. He's not a member of the Watch yet so don't act like you are his superior," commanded Jeor Mormont while walking down the steps that led to his office.

"Yes Lord Commander," said Alliser angrily before walking away with a bitterness in his voice and eyes.

"My apologies Lord Commander. I was just sick and tired of his constant harassment of my person," said Jon with Jeor nodding with a small smile despite his cold visage.

"You have your Father's honorable personality Jon Stark. A very rare thing to have these dark days ahead. Besides, Alliser is a cunt with a personality as cold as the winters here. He hates everyone and everything here and everywhere. Including himself," commented Jeor before the two walked into his office to talk more.

Ned nodded with a grim smile and Jon chuckled lightly. "Ser Alliser had been a cunt to the very end." Jon spoke but was jabbed softly by his uncle.

"Show some respect Jon he may have been a cunt but he was also a brother of the Night's Watch." Jon nodded but didn't mean he had to like respecting the already dead old bastard who constantly targeted him.

"My Father wanted me here to help make an assessment about the Night's Watch and the Wall itself. He's grown concerned regarding the number of members here being too few and the equipment being out of date," replied Jon with Jeor nodding.

"Aye, he is right to want one right now. The members of the Night's Watch are a fraction of what they once were at the height of its power. The numbers we possess are so low we can barely cover what we consider the minimum number for each castle along the Wall. The siege equipment is outdated and some of them don't even work anymore with the various parts needed to replace them being nonexistent here. The swords and shield we have are getting to become poor in quality due to the cold weather making it difficult to keep them properly maintained," replied Jeor with Jon grimacing.

"My Father found a deserter of the Night's Watch a few months ago. The man claimed he saw the White Walkers before he lost his head to my Father's sword," said Jon with Jeor frowning.

Ned frowned he remembered the deserter when he told him his warning which had led him too telling Naruto. "That was possibly one of the most greatest decisions I ever made." he knew that if it wasn't for Naruto he'd would be a head shorter and he didn't want to think what would happen to his family if he died.

"That was the fourth deserter we had in just this one month alone. We caught three more attempting to flee two weeks ago and killed them. They all said the same damn thing in regards to the White Walkers. I assumed it was the Wildlings using some kind of scare tactic to make members of the Night's Watch abandon their post," said Jeor with Jon now frowning.

"That would have been a good tactic if it WAS us who thought of it," Ygritte commented but looked at her husband who deadpanned "What?"

"You do know I was at The Wall during that time." Jon looked at his wife who just scoffed. "If we had been successful on getting pass The Wall I would had made you my slave," Jon sweat dropped as she smiled "Hey you are quite handsome, though I would like it if you cut your hair." she combed her husbands hair with her fingers before he removed her hand from his hair as he shook it "I like my hair." the other Starks chuckled at the interaction of the two.

"Pardon me for saying this Lord Commander, but...what if what these men saw were in fact NOT Wildings like you first assumed? What if what those men saw were in fact the White Walkers?" questioned Jon with Jeor's face getting deadly serious.

Jon shivered as he remembered the White Walkers and their army of the undead "Those things were possibly one of the most terrifying things I ever faced, and I face Catelyn when she's mad." Ned just chuckled at his nephew before the Lord of the North was smacked upside the head by his wife "And you should be unless you wish to be sleeping in the stables when we get home?" Jon and Ned zipped their mouths shut when they got a stern glare, the two Starks shivered in fright as they sat a bit farther from the Tully/Stark woman.

"That's a very serious accusation Lord Stark. One I am not inclined to think about much less consider to be true," stated Jeor coldly, but saw Jon held his gaze.

"I know you don't want to consider it to be true Lord Commander. Even I don't want to consider it to be true either and I am the one who just suggested it as a possibility. But what if the White Walkers do exist and they are lurking beyond the Wall? What if what those men who abandoned their post actually saw the White Walkers? Not Wildlings, but the actual White Walkers?" questioned Jon with Jeor looking angrily at him for a second before thinking the Stark's words over in his head and calmed down somewhat.

"That old bear was as stubborn as... well an old bear." Jon commented as Naruto and Ned laughed slightly at Jon's failed joke.

"Ignorance is bliss. That is what some say when it comes to living a life unaware of the dangers lurking the shadows. I never thought myself ignorant regarding matters of the Night's Watch. Simply because I found no form of 'bliss' in being the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. However, if what you said is indeed true, and these were in fact White Walkers...then we have far bigger problems beyond that of Wildlings," said Jeor with a heavy sigh leaving him.

"The Night's Watch needs more men. And better equipment. I can send a raven to my Father in King's Landing. He was recently made Hand of the King and can get more men to the Wall while ensuring new equipment is sent here to upgrade the defenses. If the White Walkers are heading our way, if albeit slowly, they are no doubt putting pressure on the Wildings to get over the Wall, and make them be more aggressive in the process," said Jon with Jeor nodding since he would be the same way if White Walkers were on their side of the Wall.

"Send him a raven immediately, but don't mention the White Walkers. I don't want to cause unnecessary panic through the rest of the realm. Just tell him we need more men and better supplies along with some people capable of using them," replied Jeor with Jon nodding at the idea.

"I'll do that immediately and then I'll head back to Winterfell. No offense to the Night's Watch Lord Commander, but I don't think I will be joining your ranks. At one point, I might have considered it, but now...I feel my life could be put to better use elsewhere," said Jon with Jeor nodding in agreement.

"I agree. You have great potential Jon Stark. A good strong head on your shoulders and have that look of someone who could be a great leader with the right teacher to guide you on the path. If you joined the Night's Watch, I could make it happen as Lord Commander, but like you said, your path in life is not here. Not anymore," said Jeor with Jon nodding.

"Thank you Lord Commander. I have no doubt you would have made a great teacher. My Father Ned Stark and Uncle Benjen always speak highly of you. Should you ever need an extra sword, even if I am not one of the Night's Watch, I will answer the call, and will try to help out in anyway I can," said Jon with Jeor smiling at him.

"I pray I never have to call upon you Jon Stark. All the same, I will keep your words in mind should I need that sword of yours in a battle I hope never takes place," said Jeor before the two shook hands and Jon left the man's office.

All the while both men wondering what could have been had one man stayed to take the Black and the other to train him to be his successor.

(Red Keep-The Courtyard)

"I hear you are reading an old book," commented Petyr Baelish to Ned and Naruto while the two were talking to each other about the coming tournament.

"Pycelle talks too much," said Ned while Petyr smirked.

Ned growled angrily he hated that smirk on Petyr's face, that stupid cocky smile he had as he felt the rage of Peytr trying to take his wife. "Calm yourself Ned no use in getting mad about a dead man." Ned looked towards his blonde friend as he nodded.

"I know... I just can't stand looking at that cocky smirk that bastard dare give me." the old wolf growled again before Cat kissed his cheek with a smile.

"Even if Petyr had taken me away from you Ned, he would never have the love I have for you, and only for you." Ned smiled as he kissed his wife as Arya, Bran, and Rickon groaned in disgust.

"Oh, he never stops talking once you get him going. A poor habit to be sure. Speaking of habits, do you know Ser Hugh of the Vale? Not surprising really. He was actually until recently a squire. Lord Arryn's squire to be exact. You should find it interesting to know he was recently knighted almost immediately following his Master's untimely death," said Petyr with his usual smile on his face.

"Knighted? For what? And why are you even telling us this?" asked Ned with both him and Naruto looking at the man with suspicion.

"I did promise Cat I would help you. Isn't this helping?" asked Petyr with Ned unsure he wanted to answer that last part so chose to say something else.

"Where is Ser Hugh now?" asked Ned with Petyr's smirk increasing.

"As tempting as it would be to answer, I would advise against knowing the answer. You see that little bird there? One of Varys little spies. It seems the Spider has taken quite an interest in you since coming to King's Landing. Now look over there, the hand, that one belongs to the Queen. Like Varys, she too is interested in your little investigation into Jon Arryn's death. And do you see that Scepter over there, pretending to be reading a book? That one is mine," offered Petyr after pointing out each agent around them.

Naruto made a mental note to remember who these individuals were so he would know who served who in this little web of spying.

"I see. I think we are done here Lord Baelish. Thank you," replied Ned while watching the man bow and leave their presence.

"Interesting that he would wish us to stay away from Ser Hugh despite his warnings. You would think he's at least answer the question of what the man was knighted for. A man like that, who doesn't know or refuses to answer clearly has something to hide. All the while playing it off as being cautious and smart," remarked Naruto with Ned nodding.

"Aye, it does. We will have to be mindful of him if his agents are just as unsuspecting as the Spider's and the Queen's agents," replied Ned with Naruto nodding and was the Sage was pleased the Hand of the King was learning.

"I was able to retrace Jon's last steps prior to him inquiring about the book and his death. Apparently, he visited a blacksmith in town, but to what end still alludes me. Jon wasn't in need of any weapons repaired or purchased so my only conclusion drawn from this was there was something or someone else there that caught his attention. We should go there next," said Naruto with Ned nodding since Jon didn't go anywhere without reason.

Ned and Naruto smirked as that was the day they met the now current Gendry Baratheon Lord of the Stormlands.

"Gendry has been doing great in Storm's End." Ned commented as Naruto nodded.

"Yes Gendry and his brothers and sisters are doing well in their home." Naruto smiled as the young Baratheon had brought his House to it's previous glory that would make it's founder Orys proud.

"Aye, I will once the tournament is underway. With the sheer number of people currently in King's Landing and many of the knights seeking to improve or buy what they need for it, getting a moment with the blacksmith in question will be next to impossible," said Ned with Naruto nodding since the city was getting crowded and business would cause a wall onto itself with the line of customers wanting things just before the tournament started.

"And speak to Ser Hugh following it. I want to know what he was knighted for after Jon Arryn died," said Naruto though he had an idea on what that was or an idea on what that was.

The man was clearly involved in the death of Jon Arryn and either put poison into the man's food or drink when Jon wasn't looking, OR he was a distraction so someone else could do it.

(A Few Days Later)

The tournament made by the King to honor his new Hand couldn't come soon enough for Ned, as he wanted it out of the way. At the moment, the Hand of the King was with one of his loyal men Jory from Winterfell to investigate the blacksmith knowing business for the man had slowed down now that the tournament had started. Naruto himself sat down with Ned's two daughters to watch the jousting part of the competition. Arya was looking forward to the fighting because of the violence it represented and what she wanted to be apart of in life. Sansa saw it as a way to get closer to Joffrey, but the Prince's interest in her was random at best, and he seemed angry when glancing past her toward the Sage. The young girl wanted to tell Naruto to move elsewhere, but she knew her Father would not approve of it due to the man being the ultimate protection for his daughters when watching this display of violence.

Sansa looked towards her father's blonde friend. "Lord Naruto I wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted during that time, I was love sick and blind to the truth of what Joffrey really was." Naruto just smiled and gave the Stark girl a quick hug "All is forgiven Sansa, besides wouldn't be the first time something like that happened to me." Sakura looked a bit down at that but she knew her friend didn't mean anything seriously hurtful by it.

She had spent some time with Lady Mordane in the throne room where the elderly, yet sharp woman explained how once marrying Prince Joffrey, and becoming Queen, she would have to stand in the room to present the future King's Heir. How Sansa should hope to give Joffrey both boys and girls and even if only girls that Joffrey would love her regardless. While Sansa knew she would one day produce boys and girls (if the fact she had three brothers), a small part of the girl wondered if marrying Joffrey wasn't perhaps a mistake? He was charming. Of that there was no doubt. But there were those moments in time where he had been cruel as well and he clearly didn't care for the opinion of others unless their interests intertwined with his own. Sansa knew if she was going to get Joffrey to love her, then she would have to forsake everything that made her a Stark, and do the things her future husband liked to do.

But would such an action be worth it? Could she forsake the love her own family and the principles or honor they held for the future King, who may have questionable interests? Interests that went against everything she knew and believed in?

Sasna gritted her teeth as she heard the words of her naive self every word her old self spoke was like a crossbow bolt in her heart to hear.

"If you keep making that scowling face at me, its going to stay like that for the rest of your life," commented Naruto while ignoring the occasional scowling glance Sansa aimed at him.

"You had no right to beat up Prince Joffrey," whispered Sansa so no one could hear them talking.

"Yes he did." Sansa thought.

"And he had no right to make an attempt on your little sister's life, yet we both did things some would say are not appropriate for our station in life," countered Naruto with Sansa looking away from him since she knew it was true.

"It was an accident," whispered Sansa with Naruto scoffing.

"No it wasn't." She thought again.

"Highly unlikely my dear and we all know it. Don't live a life of denial. Ignorance is bliss until someone slaps the cold taste of reality into your mouth. You may like the idea of one day being married to Prince Joffrey simply because he is a Prince and that alone is what every girl your age has dreamt of happening to them since they were told stories as a child. But hearing stories of Princes and King is totally different to actually meeting either one in person. Case in point, the King himself drinking wine and filling himself to the point its amazing he's not slurring his words too much where no one can understand him," remarked Naruto before pointing over at Robert on his throne with Cersei sitting beside him.

"We've been sitting here all day! Start the damn joust before I piss myself!" stated Robert drunkenly while Cersei looked disgusted and humiliated by her husband's words before she left to get away from him.

A few people laughed while the other half mostly women looked just as disgusted as the bitch queen.

"See?" asked Naruto while Sansa had to admit that the current King was not the graceful well groomed King one would expect of royalty.

"You think." Karin pushed up her glasses as her distant cousin Kushina was trying her best not to laugh.

"Ugh, no wonder why she's always bitchy this reminds me of something." Tsunade rubbed her temples as Robert's personality reminded her of a certain toad sage.

"Oooohh. You know your life would be boring without me." Jiraiya grinned before said blonde hokage punched him right where the sun don't shine as the pains from when his student kicked him came back as he swore he heard a crack from his prized jewels.

"Who is that?!" asked Sansa in order to take her mind off Naruto's words.

"That would be Ser Gregor Clegane. They call him the Mountain. He is the Hound's older brother. House Clegane is known for siring giant men, but Gregor is the largest on family record with the Hound being a close second," answered Petyr from behind the group and pointed to the Hound currently eyeing his brother with loathing.

A few people widen their eyes at the man Oonoki the most as the giant man was possibly even bigger then Han was.

"Holly crap he's huge!" Kiba shouted as his mother and sister nodded their heads as they stared in slight fear of the Mountain.

"Don't worry Kiba," Naruto said as he stared at his feral looking friend "He's burning in hell as of now." Naruto chuckled darkly as Minato looked at his son worryingly.

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto looked at his father and smirked "let's just say even a mountain can fall."

"I see. And his opponent?" asked Sansa seeing another knight now standing next to the Mountain and looking like a dwarf by comparison.

"Ser Hugh of the Vale. Before now, he was actually the late Jon Arryn's personal squire. Doesn't he look well groomed for his new position?" answered Petyr with amusement while Naruto simply watching the two bowed respectfully to their King.

"Yes, yes. Enough of the bloody pomp. Have at it!" exclaimed Robert impatiently while spilling some of his wine in the process.

With both men heading toward their horses, it was clear to all that this fight was going to be very much one sides, and only a fool would bet against the Mountain in this contest. Ser Hugh was just recently appointed as a knight and had no combat experience to his name and only had a few practice runs jousting. The man only entered to gain gold and glory in proving himself worthy of his new title so a respected House would take him into it. To enter a House where he could serve and maybe one day marry into it in order to live a life of semi-luxury.

Namely House Lannister with their vast wealth paying more men then any other House of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Mountain that Rides however...Ser Gregor Clegane's name had been infamous for years since he was a child. The boy, who would become this man had killed long before most children could understand the concept of life and death. The man had killed, raped, and pillaged (and not in that particular order either) more times then could be counted by the most skilled mathematicians. He had jousted plenty of times, killed quite a few people doing so too. Not as many as you would think, but the kill count at the tournaments he went to when held was still the highest of any other appointed knight.

Alot of people scowled and glared the Mountain with death in their eyes.

"The Wall would be to merciful for this bastards crimes." Hashirama commented with a scowl as his brother nodded his head in agreement still galring at the giant of a man.

"Don't worry Hashirama-Dono I made sure the mountain never hurts another living thing again." Hashirama rose his brow at the blonde sage but nodded wondering what he did to Gregor.

Though calling him a knight was a very big stretch and the only reason Gregor was able to keep his title was due to Tywin Lannister having his influence deep within the Crown.

As expected, when the horn blew to signify the start of the match, the two men charged the other, jousting spears raised, intent on hitting the other, and knocking the other man off his horse. That was the name of the game and while the rules didn't exactly allow the death of one of the competitors, it was frowned upon since it made spectators queasy at the sight of death.

Which is exactly what happened here with the death of Ser Hugh of the Vale at the hands of the Mountain due to a long shard of wood from Gregor's lance piercing his throat at the neck. Sansa screamed like most of the people watching since she never expected such a thing to happen and thought of the jousts as friendly competition between men in a duel of honor. Arya was shocked and somewhat entranced by the sight, as she expected to see some form of violence when the two men clashed, but death was unexpected all the same. Still, like Sansa, the sight of it for Arya was not only a wakeup call to how serious things were, but that things could get possibly worse during the rest of the jousting, and with even more death later on.

'Well that was to be expected. Ned and I were snooping around anything related to Jon Arryn and said squire turned knight of the man gets killed against the one opponent he had no chance of winning against. Add to the fact the Mountain is a well known agent of the Lannisters when called upon to serve is no real surprise there. Still, something tells me that Petyr was involved in this mess since he mentioned Ser Hugh in the first place to Ned and myself. The man is playing both sides. He wants the Wolf and the Lion to do battle. Make it seem like the Lannisters are covering things up by destroying or killing of anyone who knows anything surrounding Jon Arryn. Shame he doesn't realize I paid a visit to Ser Hugh earlier and got a confession out of him with my Sharingan. Kurama may have hated the damn thing for obvious reasons, but damn does it have its uses when required to get the truth out of people,' thought Naruto smirking behind his mask over how these conspirators believed themselves ahead of the curve when they couldn't be further behind it.

"It still amazes me how smart you had become dobe." Naruto narrowed his eyes on Sasuke as said blackette smirked at him.

Naruto started to get a grin on his face a grin that meant he was planning a prank. "Just you wait Sasuke-teme i'm not as different as I was when we were kids as much as you think." The blonde sage summoned a few tools and had a dark smirk as he kissed his wife's cheek and left to start his plan.

Naruto also sensed Petyr was happy too, but for different reasons.

"Not what you were expecting I take it? Has anyone ever told you of the Mountain and the Hound," offered Petyr while leaning forward to talk to Naruto, Sansa, and Arya.

Ned frowned as he glared at Petyr for telling his daughter of that story.

"I have heard about it. These two have not. I would prefer you not scar their minds with the story," replied Naruto coldly while Petyr was silent for a moment before deciding to continue when Arya looked at him curiously.

"What's the story?" asked Arya while Naruto sighed and Petyr smirked.

Arya grit her teeth not wanting to hear this story again as Sansa shuddered and Ned scowled when he read.

"A lovely little tale of brotherly love. It was when the Hound was just pup. 6 years old I do believe, and Gregor was a few years older. Both were big for their age. Gregor more so then his younger brother and already a reputation at such an early age. I suppose some boys are just born with a talent to produce such violence. One evening according to what my sources say, young Gregor found his little brother Sandor playing with a toy by a fire. And not just any toy, but Gregor's toy. A wooden knight as it were. Gregor, never saying a word when seeing this, just grabbed his unsuspecting little brother by the scruff of his neck, and shoved his face into the burning coals. Gregor held his little brother there while the poor boy screamed out in pain, all the while his face melting," explained Petyr with both girls going green and clearly wanted to go somewhere to throw up.

Many ninja turned green as well while this ensign siblings looked absolutely horrified at hearing this.

"I know sometimes siblings can't get along, but by Kami this man is no man at all he's a monster in human skin." Hashirama said as Tobirama looked just as sickened by the Mountain's actions to his own blood.

"Why did you tell us this? I already told you I knew the story and the girls didn't need to know such things," questioned Naruto with Petyr smiling further.

"My apologizes. I just believed you three would need to know such interesting history if you decided to act next time in defense of the Mountain's next opponent. Also, I would advise you not tell anyone this story just now. If the Hound knew it had gotten out, well I fear there would not be enough knights in King's Landing to protect you," answered Petyr with his smile being as fake as Sai's had been when interacting with Naruto back in the days of old.

Sakura laughed slightly while Sai just smiled at his friend "It is good to still know you remember me dickless." many laughed at Naruto who growled while his wife patted his shoulder, Ned noticed he was crying and smiled "You really missed them don't you Naruto." Naruto put the mask back on as he had the largest smile he ever had as tears spilled down sage's cheeks.

"Trust me when I say this Lord Baelish, I fear neither the Mountain nor the Hound. I have faced things that make them look like children by comparison. So do us both a favor and shut you mouth before get out of my seat and show you why that is the case," said Naruto in a cold tone while glancing back at Petyr, who decided to listen to his instincts, and just lean back away from the group.

Which was probably for the best since Naruto was currently about three seconds away from stabbing the man in the face with a kunai hidden underneath his right sleeve.

The Stark family looked Naruto in thanks but waved them off as he went back to reading unknown by team 7 three shadow clones had three buckets of tar above them as they all had sinister mischievous smiles as they got in position.

(Essos-Khal Drogo's Horde)

While things were progressing Westeros, other events were transpiring in Essos in Khal Drogo's Horde, and it surrounded his new bride Daenerys Targaryen. Or rather, the feud between his wife, and her brother Viserys Targaryen. After Daenerys was married to the Dothraki Horse Lord, she wanted to prove herself worthy of being her husband's wife, and thus asked the servants what she could do to prove it. After doing so, the Targaryen woman had succeeded in getting Drogo to not only love her, but give him a child that she along with the various women folk using their own knowledge in the matter were certain would be a son. Something Khal Drogo was pleased to hear and knew from his time with his new wife that their son would grow up strong and fierce like his ancestors before him.

Dany grit her teeth and held her womb as her husband held their son while said blonde looked neutral while the ninja looked at Dany in shock that she was pregnant before she met Naruto which caused Kushina to look at her daughter-in-law with stern eyes.

"Where is your son?" she demanded as Dany bit her lip and Naruto pulled his mother back to give his wife some room.

"Kaa-san, I'll explain some other time let Dany keep this to herself for now." Kushina looked at her son then at Danaerys who was near tears before frowning sadly and walked up to the sliver haired girl and pulled her into a hug as the purple eyed woman hugged back.

However, like all good things in life came certain problems that threatened such dreams from truly becoming a reality.

In this case, the problem was with Viserys, and his growing impatience with Khal Drogo since the Targaryen Prince wanted to take the Dothraki Horde over the Narrow Sea right away and straight to Westeros. Once that happened, Viserys was expecting all his secret supporters to rise up to ensure a proper foothold would be secured for his army, and take the throne from the Usurper that was King Robert.

The kage scoffed, if the Targaryen boy were to ever become their king they would slaughter him the second he sat on that throne, like hell they would obey this little brat.

As time went by, Viserys began to show his impatience and temper more and more, and the restraint on the issue was showing a noticeable crack now within the tent of Daenerys Targaryen. He had come into the tent with his sister's hand maiden, one of his hands was gripped tightly on her hair, as he was roughly dragging the woman into it, and ignoring the screaming pleas and protests.

"You send this whore to give me commands?! No one commands the dragon. I should have sent you back her head!" exclaimed Viserys angrily before shoving the girl onto the floor and glaring at his sister.

Dany clenched her fists in rage as they turned white but the odd look her child gave her calmed her down as she held him before her husband came to her side.

"He's gone Dany, he can't hurt you anymore." Dany nodded as she nuzzled her face into her husband's neck as he kept reading.

"Forgive me Khaleesi," begged the handmaiden while Daenerys comforted her.

"Hush now. Its all right. Take her outside and leave us," commanded Daenerys to the other handmaiden in the room and waited for the two women to leave before addressing her brother over his actions.

"How many times do I have to tell you? You do not command me! No one commands a dragon!" said Viserys with a madness in his eyes.

"I wasn't commanding you to do anything. I was only inviting you to join me for supper," replied Daenerys while Viserys sneered at her before walking over to a nearby table.

"And what's this?" asked Viserys while holding up some recently made clothes.

"It's a gift. I made them for you," replied Daenerys while her answer only made Viserys even angrier and the conversation spiraled out of control with his madness spreading until he struck her in the face.

Twice!

The ninja who had siblings and held family in high regards were glaring at Viserys with pure rage as they wanted to kill the brat themselves, none noticed the dark smirk Daenerys had on her face as she remembered the fear she saw in her brother's eyes as he died.

"You do not talk back to me! Especially not you. Some Horse Lord's personal slut! And now you've awoken the dragon!" said Viserys, as he moved to slap her again, and hard enough to leave a bruise.

Only for Daenerys to act before he could and struck Viserys in the face with the necklace, which was ironic since he first threw it at her to begin with, and he fell to the side in pain. It was clear to see that Viserys didn't expect his own sister to raise her hand against him since he had tried to make Daenerys submissive to his whims, and commands for when the time came to use the Dothraki to take back Westeros. He didn't see his sister as his sister, but as a tool, a resource, and the hilt of his sword meant to be wielded himself. In his mind, if having his sister being used as a whore for half of the world to fuck would give him the Iron Throne, then Viserys would turn her into said whore to claim the world as his own.

But Viserys had underestimated Daenerys in regards to her always being his meek little sister and doing whatever he wanted no matter what she thought about the issue. Now his sister had grown a spine. Her time with Khal Drogo and the Dothraki had given his sister a new found spirit, inner strength, and now she was using this against him!

"I am Khaleesi of the Dothraki! I am the wife of the great Khal and I carry his son inside of me! The next time you raise your hand to me, it will be the last time you have hands!" stated Daenerys with wide eyes and almost possessed look on her face that shined with power.

Fearful of this new and seemingly more powerful person that was his sister, Viserys left in a run before anything else could happen. While this happened, a certain masked Sage was watching from the shadows with a smile on his face, and amusement flashing within his three eyes.

Many of the kuinochi held up signs that said "GIRL POWER!" with a chibi Dany with beaten up Viserys under her foot as she held the peace sign, said silver haired queen blushed at the attention.

'So, one of the Targaryens here is just a spineless lizard when push comes to shove, and the other...shows potential. Interesting. Perhaps I should intervene sooner then expected,' thought the Shadow Clone of Naruto watching these events and thinking things over in his head.

Dany looked at her husband in shock he saw that whole thing and did nothing.

"I knew you'd fight back, it was just a manner of time before you had enough of his whining." Naruto said as finality while Dany didn't look to sure but sighed, she should know by now that her husband always worked in odd ways.

(Hours later)

Daenerys was in her lady tent with Jorah Mormont, and she told him what happened here mere hours earlier with Viserys. She still couldn't believe it even happened. She had hit her own brother! The eldest of the two of them. The Heir to the Iron Throne! The future King of Westeros! The dragon all men should and would fear in time!

So why didn't she truly fear Viserys right now? Why did she fear herself over him?

"I hit him! I can't believe I hit the last dragon of my House!" exclaimed Daenerys with worry while Jorah kept himself calm in front of her.

Dany only scoffed at how naive she was to think her brother was a dragon more like a frail snake.

"Your brother Rheagar Targaryen was the last dragon of your House. Viserys isn't even a shadow of him or your bloodline. If it weren't for the fact you know for certain he is your brother, I would question his legitimacy as a Targaryen," said Jorah with Daenerys not exactly sure how to respond to that at first.

"Even if the strength of his blood is in question, he IS a Targaryen, and is still the King," said Daenerys with Jorah shaking his head.

"Let us speak the truth now. Between us. Only us. Do you want to see your brother sitting on the Iron Throne?" asked Jorah with Daenerys shaking her head.

Naruto laughed as many looked at him strangely while Dany and the Stark family shook their heads. "I would have killed the brat before he could shit himself on that throne." he chuckled as a few of his friends scooted a bit farther away from him.

"No. My brother cannot even command me anymore. How can he expect to run Seven Kingdoms from a single seat in King's Landing? Still, the common people are waiting for him to return. Illyrio said they are sewing Dragon banners for the day he comes back to claim the Iron Throne," replied Daenerys with Jorah shaking his head once more.

"The common people pray for rain, health, and a warm Summer that will never end. They don't care what games the High Lords play. So long as they aren't made pawns in them," said Jorah with Daenerys looking at him now.

"And what exactly do you pray for Ser Jorah?" asked Daenerys curiously while the man gave her a weak smile.

"Home. One that will welcome me back once I prove myself worthy of it," replied Jorah with Daenerys nodding since she had heard of his past crimes and understood why he was hoping for his actions in following her would prove fortuitous to him in the long run.

"I pray for home too. Sadly, my brother will never take back the Seven Kingdoms or the Iron Throne. He couldn't even lead an army even if my husband gave him one. For all of the strength of the Dothraki, they will never take us home," replied Daenerys sadly, yet deep down she didn't mind if the Dothraki Horde of her husband didn't cross the Narrow Sea.

"Which is why you Daenerys Targaryen need something else. Something more!" declared Naruto's Shadow Clone from the tent entrance to the surprise of the two already in it.

"Who are you?" asked Daenerys and was going to call for the guards in Dothraki when she saw Jorah's face go pale even when reaching for his sword.

"The Demon Sage himself," whispered Jorah with a great deal of fear.

"Its been a long time Jorah. You have done well for yourself since leaving Westeros. Or as well as one can here in Essos. After you fled, I suspected you would join a mercenary group like the Second Sons or some other sell sword group. Imagine my surprise to see you here being the bodyguard of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen. Though judging from the way things are going and what I saw earlier, you will no doubt be serving only one of the two in the near future. Though which Targaryen that will be is still up in air," said Naruto with Jorah glancing back at Daenerys before focusing back on the masked man.

"I won't...I won't let you hurt her," replied Jorah though it was clear he was nervous and scared of Naruto.

"Hurt her? Who said I was here to hurt her?" asked Naruto with a tilt of his head.

"You weren't sent by the Usurper?" asked Daenerys while hoping she could convince him to back her side.

"The Usurper, as you call him Lady Targaryen, doesn't even know I'm here, and I would prefer it to stay that way," said Naruto while hinting to Jorah that he knew the knight was a spy for the Spider, and this secret conversation was not to be on record for Varys to know about.

Dany widen her eyes and felt hurt that Jorah was really a spy, Naruto noticed and held his wife.

"Jorah had his reasons not telling you Dany, but just so you know he stayed loyal to you even after he was given pardon to come back." she widen her eyes in surprise but smiled, Jorah could have left her to die anytime he wanted to, but he stayed by her side to protect her even from her own husband before their marriage.

Jorah gave him a discreet nod in understanding.

"Then why are you here?" asked Daenerys curiously while Naruto walked around the tent to give it a once over before turning to face her.

"To help you. Well...to a certain degree anyway. I was originally going to intervene the day of your wedding to Khal Drogo, but...I got the feeling the man wouldn't appreciate me there. I may have...called his Father and Father's Father a few...choice names in the past in the Dothraki language," replied Naruto with gesture of his hand to say it was a minor thing that two hot tempered men took way out of proportion.

"How do you intend to help me exactly?" asked Daenerys with Naruto tilting his head further and she could have sworn he was smiling underneath the mask.

"By giving you a means to rise and take back the Iron Throne," replied Naruto before he reached into his robes within his sleeve and took out a chest.

Everyone but the Starks, Naruto, and Dany widen their eyes as they saw the three different colored eggs.

Sakura stuttered as she pointed at them. "N-N-N-Naruto... Are those..." she looked at her teammate as he nodded shocking them more.

"Yes those their, are the last three dragon eggs." they looked in amazement as they stared at the near one of a kind eggs.

"How did you...?" asked Daenerys while Naruto looked like he was smirking behind his mask.

And he was smirking.

"Magic or the slight of hand. Take your pick," answered Naruto before he put the chest down and opened it to reveal what was inside.

"Is that...? Are those...?" asked Daenerys before she walked toward them and even Jorah was surprised.

"Dragon eggs? Yes. I took them from your brother's tent. The man is many things, but smart is not one of them. He leaves the chest unguarded. Its not even hidden from prying eyes in his tent. His mind must really be lost if he thinks no one will go into his room to take something like these eggs," replied Naruto while Daenerys gently picked one up and held it lovingly in her hands.

"My brother wouldn't let me hold them. He said they were his by right and no one, not even me, could take care of these eggs," said Daenerys while Naruto shook his head.

"Your brother is an idiot. You know it. I know it. Jorah here knows it. Khal Drogo knows it. And even the horses of this Dothraki Horde know it and would say as much if they could speak," replied Naruto before he reached down and picked up another egg to give it a closer inspection.

"Are they really dragon eggs? Part of me has always feared that they weren't and at worse well painted stones meant to trick us," asked Daenerys with Naruto inspecting the one in his hand before nodding.

"I know dragon eggs. I've seen dragons and their eggs. These are definitely the eggs from a dragon. No doubt the female dragon in question gave her life to make these three before perishing," replied Naruto sadly since he had at one point helped and nurtured dragons until he was sure they could take care of themselves.

Everyone stared at Naruto in shock even the Starks and Dany, NARUTO was the true 'Father of Dragons'.

Kushina and Minato couldn't help but feel pride at the thought of their son breeding such mighty and majestic creatures.

And for a time they had...until various events came around to destroy them.

Naruto frowned as he clenched his fist the Doom of Valyria he could only remember the screams of her people as all life was lost, he remembered the eyes of one of his past lovers who had given him a handsome son, what was his son's name again, it was on the tip of his tongue.

Oh yes Aenar, he wondered what ever happened to him. After the Doom that event had caused him to become closed off and hid away deep in the North and never really interacted any more.

"Are you going to bring these dragons back to life?" asked Daenerys with Naruto giving her a mischievous look with his three eyes.

"Not exactly. You are or rather you will one day cause these eggs to hatch my dear. Of course, they will need a bit of a push in the right direction. So my plan is in two parts. First, I use my power to give them a good foundation to comeback into the world when the time is right," said Naruto before using his chakra on the dragon eggs and made the glow with life in them.

"What's the second part?" asked Daenerys after he finished hers and put all three in the chest before giving her a sad look.

"It involves you. In order to bond with you and obey your commands, it requires a means of hatching them befitting your Targaryen bloodline. Sadly, I cannot tell you, nor will I so long as your brother is still alive. If Viserys knew what I just did and were to learn the truth behind how a human can hatch these dragons with the right situation...he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice you. He already did that with your arranged marriage to Khal Drogo for the man's army," answered Naruto with Daenerys frowning.

"I don't understand. In order to bring back the dragons, I must...be offered as a sacrifice?" asked Daenerys with a hint of concern in her voice.

"No. Nothing like that. But to awaken these eggs, a sacrifice of sorts will be required and it will hurt...a lot! I have seen your future Daenerys Targaryen. Or at least part of it in a moment of time. In this said future, you will experience a great deal of emotional pain following something horrible befalling you. Pain beyond measure. I won't say what, for you will try to prevent it, and thus make things worse. What I need to do is plant the knowledge in your mind, where it will remain locked away until the said moment in time does in fact happen," said Naruto before raising his index finger in his left hand that was now glowing with a blue flame at the tip and moved toward the now slightly frightened woman.

"My baby?" asked Daenerys with Naruto pausing in front of her and saw Jorah reaching for his sword slowly and gauging how to strike such a man without being caught.

Dany flinched as Naruto had the perfect pokerface, Shikamaru stared at his friend and thought for a few seconds before widening his eyes as he looked at Naruto in great disapproval while said blonde sage shrugged it off, it had to be done, the dragons were the perfect weapons against the White Walkers/Zetsu Army.

"I honestly don't know. While I do have the power to see the future, only fragments of time and blurry images at best. The moment in time that I witnessed did not allow me to see you personally, whether still pregnant or following the birth of your child. What I do know and saw from the brief moment in time was that you will be without question...a Mother," answered Naruto in a cryptic sense.

"And the knowledge you wish to give me...it won't hurt my baby?" asked Daenerys while she eyed the index finger of his hand currently covered in a blue fire.

"Aside from a minor headache that will go away within a few minutes, it won't even hurt you. I'm sorry for the secrecy regarding this part of the process, but Viserys can't know about the knowledge I am giving you in anyway possible. You are the key to bringing these dragons back my dear and you will soon enough. But if done ahead of schedule and with Viserys seeking to control them...it will only spell disaster for you, if not everyone in this Dothraki Horde before I could come back to restrain them," replied Naruto with the young Targaryen woman reluctantly nodding.

"So long as my baby isn't harmed, I will accept this knowledge," replied Daenerys with Naruto nodding.

'Sadly my dear, when the information on what to do is unlocked and how it was unlocked by what will one day befall you soon enough, you will very well wish neither of us had ever met. But you must suffer Daenerys Targaryen. Nothing is truly earned without some measure of sacrifice. You want to take, then you must give as well. You will learn that soon enough in this game not of thrones...but of life!" thought Naruto before touching her forehead with his index finger and implanted the knowledge of how to hatch the dragon eggs inside her head.

Dany had a small tear trail her face as she held her little Aerys close to her bossom as he looked up with his innocent pure purple eyes in confusion and curiosity.

Naruto pulled his wife into an embrace as he kept reading.

When it was over, Naruto backed away to see Daenerys frown a bit at the headache she was told would hit her. Sure enough, minutes later, the throbbing in her temples went away, and she saw Jorah looking at her to see if she was okay. Smiling, she nodded that she was okay, and turned to thank Naruto for action.

Only to find he was gone with a single note on the table next to where he had just been standing.

Daenerys, I have been watching you, and your idiot brother for sometime now. I actually helped in your escape from Dragonstone when Robert's armies, and Stannis's fleet moved to take your ship. Both weren't very happy with me when I denied them what they wanted in terms of your immediate death. But like Ned Stark, I do not believe in the killing of an innocent child. I wanted to see what you and your brother would do once grown up to face the world and you didn't disappoint me. Your brother however, did. The madness in him has clearly taken control of his mind so be wary of him for your baby's sake. All I can do now is provide advice to you in this message, which will destroy itself once you've finished reading so don't be surprised when it falls to pieces like brittle parchment.

In short, my advice to you is this, from one wise man to a young woman seeking to grab her destiny by the throat, and put it in a steel jawed trap. Keep your eyes sharp and your mind sharper. Be mindful of who you trust and those you can trust without question are to be kept close to the chest. But not TOO close should they decide to turn things against you. Remember, you may one day become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, or damn well get close to the goal in some form. The people around you will want to get in on the ground floor and if they see signs of your campaign about to fail, they might jump ship to what they believe is the winning side by offering up you in return for something like gold or something more material they can actually hold with their hands.

Should you ever find a place to rule and become Queen, whether in King's Landing, or somewhere here is Essos, be kind to your subjects. Be fair to them, but be firm as well when it comes to dealing out punishments for crimes they have committed. Show you have strength and not afraid to use it, but at the same time use just the right amount each time. Rule with precision when it comes to deciding matters over quick clumsy ones that you would only find when looking at a drunken butcher.

I honestly do not know if you are in fact worthy of the Iron Throne or even ruling over a kingdom in general. You DO have the potential, which is more then I can say, or see regarding your idiot brother. He will not be King of the Seven Kingdoms. Of THAT I am certain. Even you can see it. Keep those dragon eggs close. Make sure nothing happens to them until the time comes to see them hatch. You will know what to do when it is time to perform the ritual for it.

All I can say now is, good luck Daenerys Targaryen, and may you grow up to be the Queen I know in my heart you can be in this life.

Best regards,

Naruto of House Uzumaki: The Demon Sage

P.S. Don't tell anyone about this letter after its destroyed. I still do have a reputation to maintain.

And soon after reading the last part, Daenerys saw a symbol on the paper glow and the parchment dissolved into tiny pieces before being blown away in the wind entering the tent.

"The Sage's powers are indeed every bit the legend I bards always sing in the taverns," said Jorah with Daenerys nodding before she looked at the dragon eggs in the chest and touched each one gently.

"Of that, there is no doubt Ser Jorah. We must protect these three eggs. Not just from my brother, but from everyone else when they hatch," replied Daenerys with Jorah staring at the eggs.

"IF they hatch Khaleesi," countered Jorah and was met with a firm glare.

"Look at these eggs and tell me they do not have the potential to hatch?" asked Daenerys with Jorah seeing each egg looked more...alive then they had been earlier.

"Perhaps they will. Remember, the Sage left the means to awaken them locked within your mind. Only to be free to use when something of extreme emotional pain happens," countered Jorah and remind the woman of what she feared in regards to what that pain might be to hatch the eggs.

"Which is why you are going to ensure such pain never happens. While I do not mind the idea of hatching these eggs and raising three dragons...I will not pay such a price if it is what I suspect or close to what I suspect," replied Daenerys while Jorah nodded.

"If that is your wish Khaleesi," said Jorah while deep down he knew telling Robert about Daenerys being pregnant was going to cause a severe backlash later for the woman.

In the deep reaches of his mind, the loyalty to Crown, and aiding them in this way to one day kill this woman along with her unborn child was considered wrong in Jorah's mind. She was a Targaryen, but Daenerys held none of the madness her brother did and could still see growing in him. Perhaps his madness cancelled hers out simply because he got it first and made the man's sister want to become the opposite of him. Madness destroying madness. An interesting concept worthy of discussion among Maesters. Or perhaps the Gods of Old and the New had flipped a coin like they did with Viserys with the opposite outcome with Daenerys being sane.

Dany chuckled lightly as she sniffed wiping a tear from her eye as she looked down on her son and kissed his head causing him to coo.

Whatever the case, Jorah knew that even with all the information he sent out earlier that would be reaching the Spider, he would defend this woman from harm, any harm for that matter. He knew his information was worthy of a royal pardon, but deep down Jorah also knew such a pardon signed by the King was also the death warrant for Daenerys, and the baby she carried. He might as well have it signed his signature for the pardon to come back to Westeros with the blood and lives of two innocent Targaryens.

At the very least, he could keep an extra eye out for future assassins, and stop them when they try to make the attempt. Jorah also knew the one advantage here was he knew the assassins would be coming straight for Daenerys. He wasn't sure how or when or where they would strike.

Only that they were going to come soon and they would be relentless.

(King's Landing-Hand of the King)

Ned was in his office during the jousting. He had gone with Jory to look into Jon's last known location before he was killed and saw the blacksmith there. The man was of an elderly persuasion, nothing special about him in Ned's eyes. Good with his tools and hands in making armor and weapons. Nothing else.

But the much younger man and apprentice of the blacksmith was another matter. Ned had known Robert since they were kids growing up under the guidance of Jon Arryn and one day become full grown men. So when Ned practically saw the spitting image of Robert during his younger years in them young man named Gendry, it made sense what Jon was looking for. Gendry was one of Robert's many bastards. No doubt it was with one of the first prostitutes Robert had ever had relations with following his marriage to Cersei if the age of the young man was anything to go by. Gendry had all of Robert's features from the hair to the eyes and the muscular build, which was enhanced by his time working for the blacksmith. With a proper education and right guidance, if Gendry was a legitimate child of Robert's, he would be the Heir to the throne.

But that didn't explain why Jon was looking into one, if not more of Robert's bastards all throughout King's Landing. And how was it connected to the book containing the lineage of all the great Houses of Westeros? Was there some kind of secret hidden in the book he wasn't seeing that others did and thus got Jon Arryn killed?

His thoughts on the matter were interrupted when Jory came in a bowed.

"My Lord, her Grace the Queen in here to see you," said Jory before he moved aside and Cersei entered the room before leaving.

"Your Grace," said Ned with a nod of his head respectfully.

"You're missing out on the tournament my husband is honoring you with," commented Cersei while glancing at the book Ned was reading.

"Putting my name on it doesn't make it mine. I was against the tournament from the start since it was an unnecessary expense. The Crown is already deep in debt well over 6 million as it is with half of that owed to your Father and it does not need anymore added to the amount," replied Ned while Cersei's eyes widened in surprise since she didn't know that piece of information.

She would have to send a raven to her Father about striking his half of the debt once she made Joffrey the new King.

Naruto scoffed, he enjoyed stabbing that little brat and wiped that dirty shit smirk he gave, and he would do it an eternity over if he wanted or could.

"I am here because I believe we should put what happened on the King's Road and at the Inn. behind us. The ugliness of it all with the fighting and dragging everyone out of their beds like that to face Robert like common criminals. It was a little extreme, I will admit as much. Still, Mothers tend to go to the extreme when it comes to their children they love. Especially after one of them has been hurt by a certain three eyed Sage," said Cersei with Ned not saying anything at first.

"He was protecting one of my daughters just as you were protecting your son," countered Ned at last with Cersei narrowed her eyes since she knew it was true, but didn't like it all the same.

"How is Sansa?" asked Cersei curiously.

"Surprisingly enough, she likes it here," replied Ned with Cersei smiling now.

"She's the only Stark who does," remarked Cersei while Ned looked at her with piercing eyes.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ned while finding it strange the woman would come to see him about this of all times.

"I might ask the same of you. What is it you hope to achieve in King's Landing? Besides helping my husband not make a bigger fool of himself then he already has for nearly the past two decades," said Cersei with Ned seeing her gaze move to the book now on the desk for a second.

"Jon Arryn was murdered. I intend to find out who did the deed and bring him forward to face King's Justice. The man raised Robert and myself when we were mere boys. To not find out who killed him would be an insult to his memory. Besides, Robert called on me to serve, and protect the realm to the best of my abilities. I will do so until he tells me to do otherwise," answered Ned with Cersei shaking her head.

"I know what you are doing when it comes to Robert. You can't change him. No one can change him. Once he sets his mind on something, it stays there until the deed is done. He will do what he wants, which is all he's ever done. The best you can ever do is pick up the pieces left in the wake of his actions," explained Cersei while she saw Ned shrugging.

Ned grit his teeth as he tried not to shed a tear infront of his family it hurt, it hurt to remember the loss of his close friend, but Robert made many mistakes it just so happened that this one mistake finally showed it's consequence.

"If that is my job, then so be it," replied Ned calmly since he knew his duty to Robert and did not mind it one bit.

Considering who else could have sat on the throne instead of Robert and he would have to serve, it was a fair trade off.

(King's Road-At the Moment)

Catelyn and Rodrik had been riding on horseback for sometime now before stopped at a nearby Inn. to rest until making it back to Winterfell. The sooner the better for Catelyn, as she still worried for her son, who should have woken up by now, and hopefully told Robb what he knew regarding his first near death experience. Now more then ever, the Tully born woman was sure the Lannisters were involved with what happened to Bran and even the death of Jon Arryn with what has happened recently in King's Landing.

Cat blushed slightly in slight shame as she was reminded of the travel on the King's Road.

At the same time, Catelyn knew they had to keep themselves from being recognized by the different bannermen staying here while representing their Lords. Cat knew she would be recognized by well over half the men at the Inn. if they really looked at her and didn't want them to make a fuss.

Sadly, her desire to stay anonymous while on the road was ruined by an outside source, and from a House she was greatly despising at the moment.

I'm sorry my Lord, we are filled up," said the Innkeeper while Cat frowned from her spit where she could see who it was.

Cat sighed as she remembered that red smile, Masha Heddle's bloody horrible smile, the rest seemed a bit disgusted by the smile as she chuckled seemed she wasn't the only one who thought so.

"My men can sleep in the stables. As for myself, I don't require a large room given my own small size," said one Tyrion Lannister while walking in with skip in his step.

"Surely, my Lord. We have nothing," said the Innkeeper while Tyrion smiled a knowing smile.

"Is there nothing I can do to remedy this?" questioned Tyrion while holding up a small amount of gold dragons in his hands and the giving the various men in the room a "who wishes to give up their room?" based look.

"You can have mine!" offered a bearded man who was clearly a sell sword among the group.

"Now there is a clever man," replied Tyrion before handing the man the gold before telling his man Joryen to dine with him.

"Lord Lannister! May I entertain you while you eat? In honor of your Father's victory at King's Landing?" asked the Bard in the corner in the hopes of gaining some of that ever valuable Lannister gold.

"Nothing will more ruin my supper. Oh, Lady Stark! What an unexpected pleasure. I was sorry to miss you in Winterfell. I met with your son Robb and young Bran. I was happy to see your second youngest had recovered from his injury," said Tyrion and his words turned many heads in the room with wide eyes.

To the short man's surprise, Catelyn did not look happy to see him. Quite the opposite.

"I was still Catelyn Tully, the last time I stayed here. You ser, is that the black bat of Harrenhal I see embedded on your coat?" questioned Catelyn to one knight of a House who served her family loyalty.

Ned and Naruto sighed as Cat looked away in embarrassment she didn't want to relive this mistake of her's.

"Aye, it is milady," said the man from Harrenhal proudly.

"And is the Lady Went a true and honest friend to my Father, Lord Holster of Riverrun?" asked Catelyn with the man nodding.

"Aye, she is," said the knight.

"The Red Stallion was always a welcome sight at Riverrun. My Father counts Jonos Bracken amongst his oldest and most trusted Bannermen," said Catelyn while the knight from House Bracken nodded.

"My Lord is honored by his trust," said the Knight from House Bracken.

"I envy your Father and all his fine friends, Lady Stark. But I don't quite see the purpose in this," said Tyrion with his mind confused on what was going on here.

"I know your sigil as well. The twin towers of House Frey. How fairs your lord, Ser?" asked Catelyn to the knight from House Frey.

The Stark's growled at the remembrance of the Late Lord Frey, the snake they were glad Naruto had killed that man.

"That disgusting old fool deserved his death, Lord Uzumaki only gave Walder his overdue funeral." Catelyn spat with venom.

"Lord Walder is well, my Lady. He has asked your Father the honor of his presence on his 90th name day. When he plans to take another wife," said the knight from House Frey with Catelyn nodding.

The shinobi looked disgusted that a man so old was still marrying.

"Huh," said Tyrion, who thought that tidbit of information was interesting before he was refocusing himself on Catelyn Stark.

And by the Old Gods and the New did she look angry with him. What in the Seven Hells did he do to make her so upset? He had been a fine gentlemen to her when in Winterfell during the time King Robert was there. Granted, Tyrion didn't really see her as much as his other siblings, but it didn't mean he had done anything to provoke the wrath of this woman standing in front of him. Before or after he left Winterfell for the Wall and then back again to the home of House Stark. In fact, he had given young Bran Stark a gift in the form of schematics made for a climbing harness mechanism he had come up with during his time in Winterfell, and reading within their library. It was actually from an old design made ironically by Bran the Builder in his older years, but Tyrion had enhanced it with his own modifications, and given it to the young Lord as a gift so the poor Stark boy didn't fall again.

He really did have a soft spot for bastards, cripples and broken things. Considering how messed up his own life was back in Casterly Rock and with his family, it wasn't all that surprising.

"This man...came into MY house as a guest and there, he conspired to murder my son! A boy of ten! In the name of King Robert and those good Lords you serve, I call upon you to seize him and help me return him to Winterfell to await King's Justice!" exclaimed Catelyn angrily with a fire in her eyes you would think the person on the harsh end of said gaze would turn to ash.

And just like that, every single knight in the room had drawn their swords, and pointed them all right at Tyrion.

'What Seven fresh Hell did I do again to deserve this?' thought Tyrion while seeing so many swords pointing at him.

And to think, all he had come in here for was food, wine, and a room sleep in!

Naruto shut the book as he gave an evil grin as his clones hidden under the roof dumped their buckets of tar all over the three members team seven making them stand up in shock before feathers were dropped on them and red gloved capped to their heads as everyone laughed, Naruto laughed as well and the hardest.

"Still got it!" he chuckled while Dany giggled in amusement but the two stopped as they heard giggling and looked down to see little Aerys clapping his hand together while sporting the biggest smile a baby could muster as he laughed.

"Aerys is laughing, his first laugh." Dany cried as she nuzzled her babies cheek as he kept giggling and Naruto hugged his wife.

The moment was stopped when they felt three more people hugging them, Naruto looked and saw his mother, father, and God father hugging them.

He chuckled as she felt tears sting his eyes, is this what having family coddling you felt like, he had forgotten this feeling.

It felt... Amazing.

(Westeros)

Three dragons roared in the sky being led by the largest of the three a black and red one, these dragon's were Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal.

They were searching for their mother, and brother as they flew through the skied until they came face-to-face with a massive swirling wall as they flew through not knowing where it would take them.

(Back at the Inn)

"I have two people I want Jon to meet, Naruto." Silver spoke with his friend as the blonde looked up.

"Who?" he whispered into the sage's ear as he widened his eyes before backing up and closing his eyes letting out a deep sigh.

"Ok, but just once, they can't stay here long." Silver nodded as he walked up to the Stark family but mostly to Jon.

"Jon, Jon Stark!" Jon looked up to his host as he had a kind smile on his face.

"Yes my Lord." he bowed slightly.

"I want you to meet two people, two people i'm sure you wanted to meet for a long time." he stepped back as he raised his hand and two orbs rise from the earth one red and one grey, they both began to take shape as Ned looked completely shocked as a tear rolled down his face.

"Ned, Ned is that you?" the female spirit asked as Ned smiled one of the happiest smiles he's ever had.

"Yes, yes it's me..." he said as he stepped closer while Jon looked confused

"Lyana."

(BOOM! Their I finally took the time to do this i'm sorry I took so long I was having some creative trouble with other stories and couldn't think for a while and school is a bitch.

I will also be taking down Divine Shinobi I can't seem to think up a story for it and marking it as a fail, sorry.)
