經過盛夏烈火般的悶燒，秋天的太陽就著夏日殘留的餘溫，將青綠的草木烘烤成溫暖的橘黃色。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0X2FcGi25

林子裡，群樹下厚實的土壤開始鬆動。秋蟬的幼蟲在地底下沉睡多年，終於擁有足夠的力氣，撥開眼前的碎土，攀上枯木的枝幹，征服昔日賴以維生的大樹。費盡千辛萬苦達成目標的成蟲，得意的在樹上高聲鳴唱，尾隨在後的幾隻同伴，亦大展歌喉加入行列。從激昂的獨唱到和諧的齊唱，爾後重唱的跟進再加上輪唱的鋪疊，層層交替，句句悠揚，為日漸蕭索的森林再添生氣。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLrZoGi84B

「咻－－砰！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4skNGdSDf
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84v96Ik5cD
倏地一聲驚動了樹上的每一隻蟬，喧鬧的蟬鳴驟然停止，只剩下綿細微弱的低吟。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDv7yGBy3l
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrXehyv6P
一支苦無毫不留情的在樹上劃下刻痕，並惡狠很的刺入樹心。一陣腳步聲由遠而近，顯然苦無的主人就要來取回自己的私物。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystdL36DVs
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pbLHNS63X
「沙沙！」遍地的枯葉脆弱易折，每踩即碎。現身的是一位貌約不過六歲的小男孩，黑髮上汗水淋漓，臉頰微微漲紅，嘴理不規律的喘氣。白嫩的手臂上滲著一絲鮮紅欲滴的血痕，前幾天的舊傷被新傷覆蓋，看來小傢伙投擲苦無的技巧還不到家呢！37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3COKX9ACnU
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0o8Nzzn1Y
「不夠！還不夠！」男孩走到大樹前，望著樹上的苦無不甘心的想著。回頭四顧，林蔭下的陰影又比剛才灰黯了一點，地上的落葉在光線照射下看來也暗紅許多。太陽快下山了，要加緊練習才行！心中催促著，男孩揮手抹去汗水，便向前要拔下苦無。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSj2XkW5NX
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bFnoKgp6E
「索索……」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2l3AToEVe
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1eCLW3oa4
腳邊窸窸窣窣的聲音引起男孩的注意，他低頭一看，發現一隻急欲爬上樹幹，卻不斷滑落在樹根旁的成蟬。成蟬努力的揮舞六肢，掙扎著又挑戰幾次，反而栽了個跟斗，跌在草地上臥也不是、翻也不是。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqOUNn5J9
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalS1S8bnL1
看著遍體鱗傷仍勤奮不懈的成蟬，男孩停頓了一會，彎下身，想拾起成蟬把牠放到樹上，以助牠一臂之力。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4rdw2tRod
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5sm1Yg5dU
「佐助，不要動牠。」手指還未碰著成蟬，身後即傳來制止的聲音。男孩回過頭尋找聲音的來源，視線落在距離自己不到五米的少年身上。臉上兩條深陷而沉穩的法令紋，背後梳著一束黑髮的少年，無疑是勤練苦無的男孩－－宇智波佐助最熟悉不過的兄弟－－宇智波鼬。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJruPpJdUi
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsbtKx1QLv
「哥哥？」佐助問道。見弟弟認出自己，身為兄長的鼬溫柔的笑了。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkpA1NU8Xp
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvbY8e1e7V
「今天怎麼這麼早就回來了？」佐助問道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh7rhYlxlO
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibjypFpN9f
「任務比預期的時間還要早完成，所以就回來了。」鼬走到佐助身旁問道：「你苦無練到一半偷懶了，竟然在這裡玩蟬？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DjT38OiUO
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaN4QhQnO
佐助見自己被誤會，頗不高興的回道：「才沒有！我是看到牠一直掉下來，才想要幫牠！是牠自己太笨了！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvfL882mx
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwfCMHpqb
鼬當然知道佐助不會只顧玩樂而忘記修練，佐助為了追上他的背影有多麼努力，他比誰都清楚。他不過是看到弟弟認真的模樣，忍不住想逗弄一番罷了。誰知道佐助就是這麼可愛，隨便一鬧就上了當？37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlAmlxHdgL
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbhgygPqt
「佐助，」鼬說道：「不可以幫牠喔！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRgsZuEscS
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKirUKE8TKA
「為、為什麼？」佐助不解的問道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8NTRwjWf
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CIaDPbKPW
「這棵樹很高，對吧？」鼬抬起頭望著樹頂道。佐助見哥哥如此做，跟著仰起了稚氣的小臉。晶瑩的陽光穿透枝葉灑下，好在時間已經黃昏，不會覺得太過刺眼。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOOUq1Dou
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lqNPSGkva
「不管是誰，在達到目標之前，一定有很長的路要走。過程中遇到的種種阻礙，必須要靠自己解決，才能有所成長。」鼬低頭看佐助道：「你不可以幫牠走喔！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzioM9HK00
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMWizbYkrS
佐助皺了皺眉，年幼的他還不是很懂。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEpt9ZpCIT
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqEAuzu3Dq
「你自己也是一樣，要增強實力只能靠你自己！」鼬邊笑道，邊慣性的伸出手指往佐助的額頭彈下去。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t8L0uct0w
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgkY0KHVE
「好痛喔！」佐助撫著發紅的額頭抱怨道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyKdtCmiHZ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFSGbLTFuP
「回去吧！」鼬說。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMK7SVO6Zt
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaM90y9E6i
「等、等一下啦！」佐助賴皮道：「你好不容易那麼早回來，教我新的手裏劍術嘛！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3A69m2lkM
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH6DGZwqwF
「天要黑了，太晚回去會被罵喔！」鼬遞出手道：「走吧！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnoB6F6n67
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39jm6zyHw
佐助噘著嘴，瞪著鼬的手掌好一陣子，才不情願的把手伸過去。鼬無奈的笑了笑，牽起佐助的手，回家。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPNCXmS9s
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z6L9uWl6I
天候在稍晚時轉涼，隔天便下起了清冷的雨。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafupaq9ykB
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB8qTMHcxe
雨水打在窗玻璃上，淅瀝嘩啦的雨聲掩蓋了窗外的蟬聲。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyePmDAg8Qm
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyxer3xcFq
「那隻蟬會不會被雨水淹死啊？」佐助手扶著窗檯直往外瞧，一臉焦躁不安的表情。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24YPjBSV5y
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKuoKaVIT
「牠不會有事的。」鼬邊閱讀手中的卷軸邊隨口敷衍道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7WCBfnRjQ
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsVJZLIhSm
「你怎麼知道？」佐助轉過頭問。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFiXfKtGeu
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRXDyXtbyx
「昆蟲的生命力沒有你想像中那麼藐小……」鼬放下卷軸對佐助說：「你這麼擔心牠啊？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguUmoWIFot
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6wIoc6D4
「才、才不是……」佐助回過頭看向窗戶賭氣道：「我不知道啦！」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuVFH3t2zx
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a21dVCpiU
佐助是真的不知道。說他完全不擔心那隻蟬，這樣講好像不完全對；就算他是真的很擔心，原因好像也不是出自於憐憫……他也不了解自己為什麼會這麼在意。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjzAFFi6Q
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusgGZZtuEx
看佐助懊惱到兩腮發紅的模樣，鼬繼續埋首書堆，嘴角勾著一抹笑。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDmM0gV8xW
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d5S2puxNr
翌日清晨，雨停了。院內的植物帶著朝露，在太陽的照耀下格外清新閃亮。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB3gB13yv9
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CSTbGx7Ji
「嘩啦！」佐助穿著媽媽強迫他套上的黃色雨鞋，三兩步就踩過一個個小水漥，毫不在乎路面有多濕滑。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE76UfcyCV
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzwTQ3RCCX
「佐助，不要跑那麼快。」鼬徐徐跟在後頭，嘴巴上叮嚀道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1j4ooysh9
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBia5zWIWE1
鼬的話並沒有產生效果，佐助因為心中莫名的期待反而越跑越快。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZgum1SnLA
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp8clB7TVe
「刷！」衝進樹林裡，飛奔過的地方揚起小小一陣風，把腳邊的落葉掃了起來。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69FH91wwVd
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLDT7JMqDH
蟬聲在佐助耳邊迴繞著，佐助小小的心噗噗的越跳越急。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlU1SOy5j
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoj5iFIfNJ
「知了！知了！」突然間，一陣蟬鳴迫使佐助停下了腳步。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KBFgApU1c
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZanRVWmAcS
為什麼會這樣呢？明明就都是蟬的叫聲啊！可是，總覺得這隻蟬的叫聲特別清澈嘹亮……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXIkSH9dwE
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS4Pm1RUU2
「知了！知了！」蟬的每一聲唱鳴都徹底激盪佐助幼小的心靈。佐助站在原地，抬起頭往上一看……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdgYL65gT
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiPyuKTSwu
一隻成蟬牢抓著樹皮，穩穩的攀附在樹幹的高處自豪的鳴唱著。成蟬棲留的樹上，還留著苦無的劃痕。這一定就是前天那隻落魄的蟬啊……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokHW5NDlg
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GrJTlohu0
當自己還在底下默默努力時，望著同伴高去的背影，心中是感到多麼無力呢？多麼想追上他們的背影，多麼想跟上他們的腳步？在悽楚的暗處含下無盡的辛酸，即使如此，不出頭的話還是會被漠視……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVISGoh4ID
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8XXoycJM
從一開始就不曾憐惜牠，從一開始就不曾悲憫牠。因為那不是上對下的一種感情，而是平等的、相知相惜的感受。昨天的那股情感原來並不是擔心，而是託付了一切給對方……強烈的體悟在佐助的心中留下深刻的痕跡，佐助終於知道這樣的心情是什麼，卻因為年紀太小而不懂得明說，只覺心中有股難以言喻的酸潮。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRF6UfOm9C
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHOSpO6JUq
當另一棵樹上的同伴傳來一聲吟唱，成蟬就快活的高鳴一句作為回覆。看到牠如此自由自在，佐助心中深深的感動著。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WJfj9YUzM
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvzaH9XqU
鼬不知何時來到佐助身旁。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89APv0CXw9
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHY65tNOBV
「哥哥……」佐助小聲喚道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Y0sFQhAu
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSmba2nCmf
「什麼事？」鼬默不作聲一會，回道。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQchP78Egh
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY4HUWTXcR
「蟬真的好厲害，他只靠自己就達成了夢想。可是……」佐助低頭喪氣道：「我卻只會依賴你。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTZBCkFme
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YrQbcLNq0
自己一點都不堅強，自己的實力真的好弱……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0acC95jBE
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGtCA4Lard
金風襲過，落英繽紛。大樹下，鼬輕嘆了口氣。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzopGSLWwo
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrIqUvb0Zs
「你在說什麼啊？」鼬輕撫佐助的頭，溫柔的笑道：「你是我弟弟，不依賴我還能依賴誰？而且……」他笑道：「你一直都很努力，不是嗎？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdDb6RAJAM
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qbNM5N8YZ
佐助抬起頭望著哥哥。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVUEFdnxt
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO1jl7DVyF
每一次，只有他的話能帶給自己勇氣……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbMkLzhHE0
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTubV4DDNC
每一次，他都是這樣溫柔的原諒無知的自己……37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8yil1BYlB
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVxbh5loMu
伸出手，佐助輕扯鼬的衣袖。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYT8ITqUKc
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliVaINYmKP
「哥哥……」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIfLchSuB
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKDJpVkvX6
「嗯？」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tbXva6Dru
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCZy6lt1rL
「……謝謝你。」37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycwsXPdFZi
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN0NlCTMOT
佐助粉嫩的臉上，出現了久違的笑容。37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVQcVKhSUs
