爸爸找哥哥做什麼呢？佐助躺在飯廳地板上好奇的想著。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nRdJv9aY
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8nkuFoqgg
是不是要偷偷給哥哥糖果呢？雖然爸爸平時看起來有點兇，但是有時候他下班回來，會在桌上放好幾顆糖。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBOE9nUomj
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniDiC9ZbON
「是同事給的啊。」爸爸總是這麼說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfhg2mllqf
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGDRIsVzaS
好不公平喔，爸爸這次帶糖回來卻只給哥哥。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5prgFBJ1Ri
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAmgUKieVT
沒關係，等哥哥回來時再跟他要糖好了，哥哥一定會把糖果分給佐助的。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDnTAnHTYF
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gRpnHer0e
佐助想著想著嘴巴都嘟起來了，媽媽見狀便戳他像包子一般又熱又軟的臉頰笑問：「愛生氣，你又為了什麼不高興呀？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHH4DEX8ir
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9T1Q2bsUI
佐助正揉著臉頰時，哥哥推開紙門，回到飯廳來了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLTHTbmY7v
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAg0Hmvaaw
「哥哥！」佐助像是十年沒見到人家似的撲上去。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwL1wkDWo
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIvjFREBnx
「鼬，爸爸跟你說了什麼呢？」媽媽關心。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirVPrUbRBM
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiDVoTwTzC
「關於任務的事。」鼬回答。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbkFnIJD1r
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEnoNIfamY
一聽到「任務」，佐助頭上立刻豎起隱形的「緊張」雷達。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgdgNqS50d
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8clcBCeHR
此時，紙門再度被開啟，爸爸進到飯廳裡來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPSzJhUGmH
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2tDEpgsH
「你們要一起出任務嗎？」媽媽問爸爸。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffBEt3HOWl
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDGxZvsMqz
「只會一起出發，我會走得更遠一點。」爸爸說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡligUR97wrN
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxwUhIMR9
「要去多久呢？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmD7jG65Yq
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zMonrOhf3
「一個月吧。」爸爸啜了口茶。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWw10IBTjH
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JEjwHXuHG
「鼬也是？」媽媽有點驚訝。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQtiSn1iOy
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1RUeGueTt
「不，鼬不會那麼久，詳細的內容也要明天開會才知道。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbDQezCrqh
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgl9JVQy7k
聽著父母的對話，佐助愈來愈不安。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyxwT8GKuu
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAAFrb389R
「什麼時候出發？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlJE5CajG
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6FL4nKNWE
「後天。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5V35Zduwy
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MDBKumq9
後天？這麼快？佐助抬頭望著鼬：「哥哥，你後天出發，晚上就會回來了，對不對？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXui1OhDwG
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGpmT7EBNd
鼬輕輕摸著佐助的頭苦笑：「對不起哪，我晚上不會回來喔。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItfzecUWn
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYd1nFEPuX
「那、你大後天會回來嗎？」佐助更著急了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVH7OuWp0
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1KkQ1e2Wl
「大後天也沒辦法。」鼬說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr0rT0oSpl
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKoiUnPlM9
至少兩天不能回家？那對佐助來說是好久好久了！佐助嚇得抱緊哥哥。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0BGEdSBrN
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmNEUnrpbn
「佐助？」鼬察覺到佐助的異樣。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXEcBWflsH
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYoetjRLT6
「哥哥不要出任務！」佐助的臉漲得紅通通的，眼角有淚水在累積了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36iKkfWp29
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FcPNmsXfm
「佐助……」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KK35Wvm0N
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd8oSQt5an
「不行！」淚水任性的掉下來了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08RtoXZWnm
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtUF4jBChU
鼬感覺到他上衣的下半部被佐助的淚水浸濕了，他小心的把佐助推離開他一點距離，蹲下身平視佐助說：「佐助，你好愛哭哪。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex19evR3zd
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYJ1b9QUWz
雖然鼬並沒有責備佐助的意思，可是佐助一聽到哥哥這麼說，卻恨不得馬上把淚水止住，而噘起了嘴巴。佐助嘴角翹得老高，淚珠掛在眼角要流下又不流下的模樣，在鼬眼中有一點點滑稽，使他嘴角忍不住上揚。 37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6O1CjD5ur
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uv3HYMI75
佐助發現哥哥臉上有笑意，更是難為情。到了要睡覺的時候，佐助故意把哥哥的衣角握得好用力。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaR7ZxVsnW
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1teXpgdt
鼬用一隻手撐著頭，看著佐助的睡顏，覺得弟弟好像太依賴自己了，但又想到弟弟還這麼小，會這麼黏他是理所當然的。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvHBeMvANI
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7iSnPkIB0
然而佐助其實知道自己留不住哥哥；他也知道哥哥要接的任務無法在短時間內完成，表示任務很困難，而有能力處理這次任務的哥哥真的很厲害，這讓佐助很驕傲。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ac9gqKblC
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0XbFDr050
可是他就是不想跟哥哥分開哪。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Y9AvKNhQ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKqhSTr5Y9
哥哥一直都是和他一起，在木葉村裡玩耍、捉蟲子、看火車，在家裡做紙風車，又一齊在院子裡把番茄種子播下，並看著種子發芽。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx76pK09Nd
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt2rlYJ5ET
葉子都還沒有冒幾片呢，兩天後，哥哥卻要跟他分開了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUaMDwmoe1
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgk5ywjj62
在佐助無法跟哥哥見面的時候，哥哥會碰到什麼事情？遇到什麼樣的人？佐助都沒辦法知道。這樣子感覺兩個人變得好遙遠啊，雖然佐助年紀還小，不會想到要用「遙遠」形容這種失落感。他只覺得，自己一定會很想很想哥哥。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8tqUJyc78
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqdZCUNE6D
怎麼辦呢？37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX486ROGluW
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8c93epQST
隔天早上，佐助醒來時，發現自己手中已經空無一物了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm0LsZGlmq
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbad30KjcJ
哥哥不在家的這一天，佐助也沒有出門，他幾乎整天都待在飯廳。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8IWG3wd5j
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJRO3Qu47
媽媽很放心的在廚房做事，直到聽見佐助用不尋常的聲音喊著「媽媽」。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOYFTfrDT
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5DQGVnHtx
她回頭一看，見佐助站在她身後，皺著眉頭，手指上有一道紅紅的傷口，他的眼眶又浮起一顆接一顆的泡泡了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTrq4Z0qa6
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYxE17b7lt
「你怎麼了？怎麼會受傷呢？」媽媽趕緊幫佐助擦藥，隨後回到飯廳一探究竟。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HLA3FQjwJ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEnImi4asQ
她看到矮桌上扔滿文具，以及一些破碎的紙片，她再想了想，才了解佐助剛才在弄什麼東西，而會心一笑。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN40kQSFBG
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl05U4dEvD6
「佐助，要不要媽媽幫你忙呢？」她回頭對佐助眨了眨眼睛。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmZFeQs9Rr
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJen9ePvj1s
可是佐助卻一點也不領情，氣勢十足的說：「不用，我要自己來！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQeos7qDlg
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPluOKJeXCA
「這樣啊，好吧，但是呢，」媽媽叮嚀佐助：「你要更小心一點，不能再受傷了，好嗎？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqiNZcZyK
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP7wXyYDZD
「嗯！」佐助使勁點頭。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gdFW0a35n
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kPZVge5H
說是這樣說，但是直到晚餐時間之前，媽媽至少有三次又聽到佐助在她背後帶著哭腔喊「媽媽」。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZpKhDHOEZ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNhAlsFfql
吃晚餐時，鼬發現佐助手指上都是ＯＫ繃。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi4328Ppb4
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79pPLzHtvY
「為什麼你手上有ＯＫ繃？」鼬疑問。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj0mbYzBNk
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthpIneeUGB
佐助無法顧及哥哥的擔心，他的眼神因為不懂得說謊而只好往別的地方飄過去。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf36vMUF2b
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGU3UuZXPv
「他打破了盤子哪。」媽媽幫著撒謊。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PmXRkq9V
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4g08NGfcj
「真的嗎？佐助，拿盤子的時候要小心一點。」鼬無可奈何的說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkXiQdAbD
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERbQmBIY9I
佐助點頭，心裡偷偷鬆一口氣。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9txIX81rcx
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62BxaFRJzk
「不過你手上的ＯＫ繃……也貼得太多條了。」睡前，兄弟倆趴在床上，鼬又提起佐助的手傷。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5dFo1iRt
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPFgKYwkPA
「沒、沒關係，」佐助把手藏進被子裡說：「我下次會小心。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOhXeJEHja
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0GdD0mM7
「嗯。」鼬沒有再繼續追問的意思。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0KLots0xN
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT41ozZ6KS
出任務的前一晚，兩個人都捨不得睡覺。床頭燈鵝黃的光線給人溫暖的感覺，窗外吹進一陣微風，佐助綁在床四周的紙風車一起隨風轉動，在床墊上留下飛動的黑影。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeDwVHWwuw
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoin0pp7bJZ
「佐助，我偷偷跟你說，」鼬主動提起隔天的任務：「明天我要去的地方，對你來說很遠。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGQoQAO2gs
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNMXT5z8ja
佐助睜大眼睛看著哥哥，忍住不抽動鼻子。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnidlKZIO
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJOSZfMcF
「聽說那是個到處都有紙風車的村莊，大家都很會做紙風車，以賣紙風車維生，」鼬接著講：「那裡本來沒有忍者，非常祥和寧靜，但是現在有別村的忍者躲在那裡，所以我們要去把他抓起來。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMgApiJstQ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGhnuL3Ibj
佐助一聽到「紙風車」，眼神都亮了起來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaGUWnsL4r
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mjzNAruD6
「哥哥加凹屋──」佐助想大聲說話，但是哥哥即時按住了他的嘴巴。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs193CaK8No
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbXqIx4BEo
這可是秘密啊，所以不能大聲講哪。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ko38XQzV
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUItwRTNpiR
「哥哥加油！」隔著鼬的手，佐助的聲音小小的傳了出來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSD50Cg0qy
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9rtZGe0fe
「嗯，我會的，」鼬露出很溫柔的笑容說：「雖然我可能要待在外面好幾天，但一定沒有問題的，所以佐助也不要擔心。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMqu3zclHH
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZcgSlBydL
佐助點點頭，被鼬按住的嘴巴還發出「嗯、嗯」的聲音。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OvvZbQ8v
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLON1Aw3OxD
「睡覺吧。」鼬鬆手時說道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcbOj8BBmb
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEEuCOIoKD
「哥哥，你明天出門時要叫我喔。」佐助整個陷進被窩裡，又探出頭來說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDZEjIvTfI
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrovuMxJdz
「我會的。」鼬笑答。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOK1vpNZm7
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIgDQZMZGu
佐助迷迷糊糊的睡著了，鼬提到的那個紙風車村莊，莫名的讓佐助感到安心。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjskmCeXHoq
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeSFfJrfac
佐助做了一個夢。夢裡，天上出了個大太陽，身旁都是正在轉著扇葉的紙風車，地上是扇葉的影子，他夢到哥哥陪著他把番茄種下，番茄發了芽，長了很多葉子，愈來愈高，最後結了好多顆好多顆番茄。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc9nWmdv3D
