春天的早上仍很寒冷，媽媽幫鼬圍上圍巾，鼬從圍巾的掩蓋下吐出帶著白霧的熱氣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVknZCcdlEI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI99brbHzte
爸爸站在家門口跟其他上忍談話，媽媽趁機再問了鼬一次：「真的不用叫佐助起床嗎？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL8V7emv4D
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQjJGWsT7K
「不用了，」鼬微笑道：「讓他睡吧。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuRFsiVrHb
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDdf4elfbT
鼬瞥了一眼玄關內側，想起昨晚佐助明明很睏卻不願闔眼的倦容，以及今日清晨他睡得好熟好滿足的模樣，讓人不忍心吵醒他啊，於是鼬便輕手輕腳的起床了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HuDlka89R
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu1NPLhckk
而且早上是這麼冷哪……30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eKQo25uBu
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMEED426L
「噠噠噠……」屋子裡忽然傳來急切的腳步聲，眾人不約而同的看向玄關。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqg0nHZNU
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADIfSl9QUT
「哥哥！」佐助一臉驚惶的出現在門口，他好怕哥哥已經出門了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfnFE91FrK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE75vBAXCB
一陣冷風把木門上的紙風車吹得用力轉動，佐助迅速打了個哆嗦，一名上忍見狀忍不住噗哧一笑，但他一看到佐助的爸爸投來一個眼神，馬上嚇得把笑聲吞了回去。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEvaAyb6H
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTnm2Yfm0H
「佐助，你怎麼不加衣服？」鼬手上也沒有多餘的衣裳，只好先伸手把佐助拉進懷裡。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfLDRUF1w
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlXedQbAsT
「哥哥，這個！」佐助顧不得冷，急忙拿出藏了一整夜的東西在哥哥面前展示。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnznGKQR3I7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7omUHQLEKX
一個扇葉摺得歪七扭八，竹籤也插得斜斜的紅色紙風車。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNLBUs8LU
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJTaalY9uK
「給你！」佐助表情認真的大聲說道。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeS2IQiJzq
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPeKiecuku
吶，原來這就是佐助拚命掩飾手傷，連媽媽都出來幫忙說謊的理由哪。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjLSRjCrTa
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbXp9jvJrS
一定很困難又很辛苦，卻非常用心吧！這是佐助花了一整天時間躲在飯廳裡自己做出來的紙風車呀。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2bS54yZKL
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZAw2DQLOv
鼬愣了一會兒，才小心的握住了佐助送的紙風車。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemdMZiXnk
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B0NwoLp6o
「嗯，我收到了。」鼬笑得很柔和。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd7DiTkiLM
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBCPfGePmN
佐助確定哥哥把風車接下後，接著抬頭望著爸爸，爸爸給小兒子這樣一瞧，也沉默的看著他。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPWdIDieR
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2JKukwEu
「爸爸……路上小心。」佐助怯怯的笑著，不好意思的說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1udNJ1MvF
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnwp8DWd0R
爸爸過了好一會兒才回答：「唔……我沒有禮物嗎？」在場的人聞言都笑開了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXhq1uJ6q7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1uYV9FT1H
佐助離開哥哥的懷抱，慢慢走到爸爸身邊去，爸爸順勢將他抱了起來，佐助驚呼了一聲。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyTdWCst5P
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb5MnQCaBu
佐助雙手圈住爸爸的脖子，爸爸和媽媽都在跟上忍們聊天，他覺得自己好像被大家看著，便感到更加害羞了，他從爸爸的頸子與肩膀間的縫隙，和站在爸爸身後的哥哥四目相接。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmqTtOZwN
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfmROkdadh
哥哥微微彎著雙眼，一直、一直都很溫和的笑著。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1L9feEpvc
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBVDetFi5u
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSL1rPL98b
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX9k3pQVZs
天空逐漸由紙白色轉為陽光照耀的水藍色，粉紅的櫻花跟著從稍嫌暗淡的色彩變得鮮豔起來。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK7Yn5Js0g
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzunwCQ8I0U
「佐助，出去玩吧。」媽媽不管小兒子正躺在榻榻米上發呆，一邊洗碗一邊說道。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBDy8A9XnI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenbahg08JN
碗洗好了，身後卻仍沒有動靜，媽媽索性轉頭一看，見佐助還賴在地上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwONOJ5zNw2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcAxyd3Fz0
「你這樣好無聊喔，」媽媽到矮桌邊坐下，好笑的看著小兒子：「我知道了，沒有哥哥陪你，你不知道在外面要怎麼玩才好，對不對？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EIpMlJTD5
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRhI7vYhZ6
佐助一聽到「哥哥」，就很自然的嘟起嘴巴。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRHRTlpxjM
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6vJgBpOhD
「鼬在你這個年紀的時候，每天都是背著一袋手裏劍就自己出門囉！」媽媽一副落入回想情境的表情。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eWnjnbDne
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8KAuVLkUt
「因為那時候還沒有我，哥哥才只好自己出門。」佐助很快的接口。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeu9Lk84Bu
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDzTSphsSE
媽媽忍住笑繼續說：「你要是每天都待在家裡的話，等到哥哥回來他一定會說『佐助都沒有出門啊？真是懶惰，我好失望』……」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtBdxXmIC
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKIuMRaV4t
「哥哥才不會那樣說！」佐助跳了起來。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcMRETv0QE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIOmhRIdit
媽媽打從心裡覺得逗自家小兒子很有趣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxFk1pdOW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10piKtRHwN
「如果只是出去一下的話……」佐助小小聲的吐出一句。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrA2i7k6D2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQLTyNAD1d
「便當已經幫你準備好囉！」媽媽開心的說道。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjdJ01ZiAH
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6vTFxTr42
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiI7nU5QST
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdPosXnzmd
佐助終於還是出門了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JmmQr7hWx
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuaZYdPXrZ
媽媽將便當放在背袋裡，讓佐助斜背在肩頭。佐助穿著小一號的忍鞋，踩在土黃色的路上，藍色的天空看起來跟平常一樣，發了綠色新芽的樹也跟平時一樣，不一樣的是哥哥不在身旁。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUZdhXz3zv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7JD9tcBxi
要往哪裡走呢？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXi1VYPwO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVFkx0D3f5
佐助不知不覺就沿著哥哥平日牽著他走的路線走了下去。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LkaeaZrqV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1BDa8Fitp
巷子裡很寧靜，佐助慢慢走，並聰明的避開了住了隻很兇的狗的民宅。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qdJRdxhKJ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpkBhMHXji
以前哥哥曾經把抓著他衣服的佐助擋在身後，頭也不回的對佐助說：「要小心呀！」佐助那時只感覺到自己的淚水很有節奏的隨著狗的吠叫聲落下。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7qKFiII7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1gTLGDjbi
「啊？」不遠處的木牆上頭高高的浮出一串櫻花，比上回看到時又更盛開了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2nu5oo0kO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XDcfSR8DB
已經到南賀神社了嗎？今天沒看到住持和會噴水的黃色塑膠管呢，那就沒有彩虹可以看了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjyaD8Mtfu
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAAC87x0GY
佐助小跑步到神社門口，踩了石階梯進去。神社內院很寬廣，靜悄悄的。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhBq9wtiam
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6DVvHEckd
參道兩側是平坦的草地，青綠色把生在地上的櫻花樹襯托得更鮮明；地上還矗立著數座石燈籠，爬著一點點青苔，紋白蝶在旁邊飛舞。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNyhUzmeUy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKC2YOo9dC
佐助在水手舍洗手時調皮的玩了水，要進去拜殿時，不忘對門口的兩隻高麗犬吐舌擺鬼臉，哥哥若在他身邊，一定會拍他的頭說「不行喔」。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqVNXWadom
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvlqh4OI31
佐助故意先繞到拜殿後的水池看魚，水池邊有一排石階可以一逕往下走，他拾級而下，看到水的光影和魚游動的黑影很活潑的映在石階旁的竹子牆上。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDMwyZPOIq
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrNziyqGdD
佐助回到拜殿前時，瞥見了門邊一座巨大的木架，掛滿了寫了密密麻麻的字的牌子。風吹過來時，牌子互相碰撞發出「啪啦」聲，有點像七夕時他看哥哥寫的許願籤，又像紙風車在轉。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8WyT1qqo1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxf7YGFns
「這是大家為了祈願而寫的牌子喔。」佐助身後響起人聲，他嚇得回頭一看，是笑咪咪的住持。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP2wPp8cr1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQhXt8XIoT
「您……您好。」佐助趕緊禮貌的行禮，剛剛對高麗犬吐舌頭的樣子一定也被看到了吧？真是不好意思啊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo7WJqTksQ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XXdwWchtK
「你是富嶽先生的孩子吧？今天沒有跟哥哥一起來嗎？」住持用著想跟小孩子聊天的語氣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFwmTfXhF1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq9LJY9Ki1
「哥哥要出任務！」佐助驕傲的說，好像接了任務的人是他自己一樣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ99V3KdKf
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesfHo6PA56
「原來如此，」住持笑問：「那麼你要寫祈願牌嗎？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjsm5chqAa
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqsrwBgchF
唔，像木架上那些牌子一樣嗎？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3v9nIdhgh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEutA0SkC7v
「可是我不會寫字。」佐助搖搖頭。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkskbVe7wye
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntkeYuM9to
「這樣啊，」住持忽然提起：「其實你哥哥在你這麼大的時候，也曾經來這裡寫過祈願牌喔，我看看啊，雖然過了幾年，但說不定還掛著呢……」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZgwLOtgUU
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3NWS7ascH
「哥哥這麼早就會寫字了！」佐助很佩服的想著，卻又有一點不服氣呢。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIeS6bF0y
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAavkIhZ57
「啊，找到了。」住持欣喜的取出一個有點舊了的牌子，佐助發現那個牌子上繫著紅色緞帶，一見了就很喜歡。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSG63MMxdy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEuwN1fXdG
佐助往牌子上的字看去，嚇了一跳哪！幾個字寫得又粗又大，跟他之前看哥哥練毛筆字時，那工整又內斂的筆跡不同。這真的是哥哥寫的嗎？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkvs8YZvE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Fg7JBCYM
「他寫什麼？」佐助好奇。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q92E02Yt9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQRH5yG8RT
「我看看……是『木葉和平』，」住持笑了起來：「我看過很多像你們這樣的小孩子來寫祈願牌，大家的願望都很巨大呢。你哥哥啊，那時候也是個很有活力的孩子。」有點陷入回憶的感覺？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp8K1KMdob
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnAD0IgLsN
──住持先生，我也想寫那個牌子。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu4Ajq8Nzi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03upipUKko
那時候，年幼的鼬把手拍在牆上，眼睛睜得大大的，眼神卻很專注。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp5RGGByzF
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTfAuIUm31
──好、好，需要我幫忙嗎？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQgyBikHRq
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG5SQA1nr0
──不用，我已經會寫字了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoyMlzrIg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM6ytrHT4N
──你寫什麼呢？住持我可以問嗎？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjAUKflLoW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV4rqDlE74
──『木葉和平』。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFEhIAKTfJ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6OUTPCNla
──很大的願望啊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsdSoihPmz
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ba2iojE7N
──嗯，因為最近好像發生了戰爭……我弟弟，我希望他平安長大。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Ax9sN7mA
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwltF8GwIoy
「那個弟弟就是這個孩子了哪。」住持看著正對祈願牌看得入迷的佐助，在心裡默默想道。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnyUHKbzyS
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhGmgqgMat
不過對佐助來說，要想像跟自己年紀差不多時的哥哥的情景，實在有點困難。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQciNH0MY2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8RfkoqHX
「你要寫嗎？我可以幫忙喔。」住持說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1aAlV3eYo
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb8Ex6DktU
「嗯……」佐助歪著頭想了一下，最後說：「不用了，我等哥哥回來以後再幫我寫。」他露出很燦爛的笑容。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFd5hffWKc
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zwmFDwDRf
雖然也稍微想了個願望，但是比起外人，希望是哥哥來寫。如果能看到以現在娟秀的字跡寫的祈願牌跟舊祈願牌掛在一起，一定很棒。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2v0ze7wOV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO0Y8bH1XY
「我知道了。」住持點頭。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8zkeC2OY8
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6H3S5phvr
佐助離開拜殿後，跑到草地上的櫻花樹下，直接站在樹下往上看，櫻花又滿又多，白白軟軟的像雪一樣。佐助忍不住想伸手去摸，卻搆不到。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q108pBKLR
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvjZ0DOxt7
趴在哥哥背上時覺得離他們很近的櫻花，只有一個人在的時候卻碰不到。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0mK5tjduw
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusSpwERtC
正在這樣子想時，櫻花串突然朝向自己低了下來。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmOExdGcl9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKMIwM82tP
「只摸一下的話沒有關係喔。」住持微微的把樹枝壓低了一些。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlZdtLNlY0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid0wH1pPjt
「謝謝您。」佐助把手伸出去。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprdYYF8fwm
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i2lmcWmBd
輕輕在花瓣上點了一下，很平滑的觸感哪；花瓣粉粉白白的色澤跟手指的顏色有點相近，感覺摸了一下花瓣，手指好像會沾上櫻花的顏色呢。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMONkLQIJ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKo8YIdX9v
「再過幾年你也會長高啦。」住持說。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRxzFqwrpi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdwWdd6rG
「嗯。」佐助回答。只見蜜蜂在花朵與花朵之間穿梭。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LQzKrD6r
