"Freedom, you're damn fine."
Similar to every other night the performance went off without a hitch. Naruto never lingered to listen to the applause or even do the cast the honor of bowing out as the curtains drew to a close. Admittedly he enjoyed listening to the noise just outside the safety of the backstage dressing room, smiling to himself with a sense of accomplishment once the audience had cleared the building. He'd get out of costume and onto the busy streets back home while everyone stayed scattered just beyond the solitude of the tiny area assigned to him, all loud and crazy and high off the job well done.
He had slipped away the moment his act was finished, instantly loosening the tie he'd been burdened with and making he way towards his vanity and chair to grab his things. The letter had gone unnoticed until he was just about ready to change, the light catching the white of the envelope and gaining Naruto's attention. Of course he glanced around, all sorts of curious when there was no one in sight. No writing on the front and a bit heavy. There was a odd noise as he shook it and be damned if he knew what it could be for. None too careful in fear of tearing he ripped the right edge clear off and peered inside. Papers- No, photos.
Carelessly he had reached inside to retrieve them, only to jerk his hand back with a hiss, the photos won! But finger harmed with a nasty cut. Again he glanced around, "What prick leaves that sort of thing lying around?!" He sucked the digit clean, discontent further once he'd scanned the pictures. All that momentary joy from the earlier performance was slimming quickly and he did his best to stuff the mystery back where it came from, his finger still in his mouth as he swung his bag over his shoulder and clutched the envelope in the unharmed hand.
"When I find the jackass responsible..." There was a damaged appendage that needed tending to. Surely the bastard responsible would want to kiss it better.
The mutt just outside the door would go unnoticed as Naruto sped past, urged on by his need to confront the entirety of the plays cast.
