Tywin was on his horse when he felt a sudden jab at his abdomen. It was fast, and his old weary eyes weren't even able to see what hit him as he was thrown off his horse like a rag doll.
He landed hard on the ground with a thud, fortunate enough not to have broken ribs or bones in the process. He almost coughed out blood and screamed in pain, but then he felt the cold steel at his Adam's apple.
Appalled, he saw a man bending towards him, placing a pointed knife at his throat. He knew he was done for and didn't bother to mention that he was the Lord of the Lannisters. He had played this game long enough to understand that this was the end of the line; he would be dead if he made any move.
He needed to keep his life intact to navigate the impending threat to his family. The man pulled him while holding his breastplate from the side and dragged him towards the Bronzegate castle. Tywin wanted to protest that he could move on his own, but the way the man ran after hoisting him over his shoulder made him shut his mouth.
"What the fuck are these people?" Tywin thought. From the corner of his eye, he saw his proud army shatter and lay down on the battlefield. The grass's color had turned red from the flowing blood, and one could easily smell it in the air. He even felt as if the world had turned red, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
Soon he was placed in front of Fugaku, who looked at him with sharp eyes. Although Fugaku didn't use his Sharingan abilities on him, the tomoe markings were on his eyes, enough for Tywin to cower. He was already traumatized seeing how his army was being massacred, and he even saw a 10-year-old kid bringing down three soldiers like playthings.
But those eyes gave him a scare as he was sure that these people weren't even humans. No human could have those eyes. This was supernatural, and they didn't have a solution to that.
"Take him away," Fugaku said, his eyes devoid of emotion, and Tywin was taken to the dungeon under the castle to be held captive. The war, which was supposed to be prolonged, didn't last long; it was over. The Uchihas and the Lannisters weren't the only ones involved in this small skirmish. All the other lords had sent spies to follow the Lannisters, and when they saw how swiftly and easily the mighty Lannisters fell, they fled with their tails between their legs to their respective lords.
This was way above their paygrade. The Uchihas knew of these spies but didn't stop them. They could have brought chaos, but that wasn't their intention. They were only here temporarily, so bringing the realm under control was not necessary.

----------------------------------------
Two days had gone by since the battle near Bronzegate and none of the Lords came forward. When they heard what the spies had told them they refused to believe and thus most of them sent more people to figure out what had happened.
They didn't get close to Bronzegate but they could see the red ground around and the absence of the Lannisters while the flag of the Uchihas was flowing quite steadily. This was all they needed to know and thus returned.
After two days, there was a sudden small band of men on horses coming towards Bronzegate. The gates opened and the few men barged in. These men were the Lannisters but they came from King's Landing and they were escorting Tyrion.
Tyrion didn't have a good face when he landed in Bronzegate. He had heard about what had gone down and he knew that he would have to take his steps wisely here or his House would go down into ashes like many others.
Tyrion was led inside and was taken to a hall. The hall was based on Japanese and he and his 'fooking' guard were allowed in and told to sit as Fugaku would soon come.
"They are disrespecting you." Bronn said as he looked around.
"When one has all cards in their hands, they can play as they like it." Tyrion said. He was anxious and also a bit elated of what was happening to his father. He dreamt of his father being punished all his life as he suffered a lot because of him but he also knew that his father was the safety net here. Someone came and provided him tea which he was surprised as he was thinking they had served him wine or alcohol.
Fugaku didn't make him wait for much time and entered the hall, but he wasn't alone. Aoto and whole gang of Konoha was here along with Arya and Jon. Tyrion didn't know them but once he saw Arya and Jon he couldn't take his eyes off from them.
They looked much older than the last time he met them but he couldn't understand the reason.
"Welcome, Tyrion Lannister to Bronzegate." Fugaku said.
"Well you opened the gates for me. Better than I expected." Tyrion said with sarcasm in his voice. This made Fugaku laugh.
"Hahahaha.. Jon told me that your witty and sarcastic. He was right." Fugaku said. Seeing the smiling face of Fugaku and was confused of how good mannered he was. Did this guy come for negotiating? Or just meeting with old friends.
He looked at everyone and none of them seem to be someone who were serious.
"I am sorry for my words. But I would like to know how is my father?" Tyrion asked asking forgiveness.
"He is in the dungeons. He is just traumatized a bit." Fugaku said.
"What do the Lannisters need to do to free him." Tyrion asked as he wanted to know what they wanted.
"You can take him away. He doesn't bother us and in fact all of the realms armies doesn't bother us. We have decimated them and we can do the same for others. That's not confidence speaking but the truth. But we also don't want annoyance under our nose. So you can take him away to Casterly Rock and be under house arrest while you will be the new Lord of the Lannisters."
