[ voice ]
[Forge clicks on. Naruto's voice is intensely emotional, if quiet. There is anger here, but only if you know where to look. ]
Don't ever be anyone but yourself. Don't hide it. If you offend people by bein' that, then maybe it's a good thing. If you wanna stick on a corset and walk around in heels, then do it. You're not hurtin' anyone. If that makes you happy, do it. 'Cause this world has too much shit that's only gonna make you sad.
Don't be ashamed of what makes you, you. You're probably standing here now, for a reason, even if you're too stupid or too loud, even if being you offends people- you're standing here, so chances are, it's being who you are that got you this far. Everyone in this place has crap that makes them who they are and maybe- maybe you once had to wipe most of your family out, maybe you once had a collar around your neck for six months and maybe you had to do some shit you're not proud of and maybe it changed you a little but it makes you who you are, just as much as anything else so don't-
Don't be ashamed of who you are. Even if others don't approve of it. Don't. Hell, if you can, enjoy yourself. Let 'em be offended.
[A hollow chuckle.]
Put on those heels if you wanna.
You have a choice and choice is a pretty damn amazing thing to have.
[Screened to Itachi.]
I'm sorry.
