Naruto - Martyr Series: Naruto Characters: Lee Type: Angst, futurefic Pairings: Vaguely Gaara+Lee Warnings: In case you couldn't tell by the oh-so-creative title, character death Spoilers: ch338 or so, the whole Hidan-Kakuzu arc Status: complete, drabble Word Count: 100 Etc: The "so-and-so as Hokage" thing is turning into a series. I also think Lee/Gaara is well on its way to being my first Naruto OTP. What happens in the 3rd paragraph is what I see happening in the series in some fashion or another.
Rock Lee was the most bizarre, enthusiastic, and shortest-lived Hokage. He was polite and respected by other villages, though they weren’t sure what to make of his quirks.
He’d only reigned 4 years when Hidan reformed and sought revenge. Nobody knew how to kill an immortal. Yoshino and Chouji died before Lee could intervene.
That day, he did something nobody had ever seen—he opened the 8th and final chakra gate, Death. At the cost of his own life, he dragged the last Akatsuki member down.
Everybody was surprised when Gaara attended the funeral. Everybody was bewildered when Gaara wept.
