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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYQvEXJEqX

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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfL3cb4lWh

「咻－－砰！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qB7ueE3jH
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrOumYKR65
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzFzOs5Jd1
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQxpqj9f3
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSVk0hJzMV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MqND3uNl7
「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！42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvCrMxtj26
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXELTMOGk
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUbJjEX556
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP0dIvjG03
「索索……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdve4wn9XaL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1m9F9M7Ng
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwoVWjnEID
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApmtcwY8LV
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV019zrlozs
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsW7PWc47Z
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleyneGbeTh
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2lZYAPiF
「哥哥？」佐助問道。見弟弟認出自己，身為兄長的鼬溫柔的笑了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkkwbyGgDx
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wckNPDUOt
「今天怎麼這麼早就回來了？」佐助問道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4UE1zOjc
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0X4zy0VxV
「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？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE9TJDUtcS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16nEDEF3u
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！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvqYdebKV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOKbb1doNe
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？42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EUgRPHMlr
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMrO3AP4i
「佐助，」鼬說道：「不可以幫牠喔！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4peEmYc1f
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVww3Sg28x3
「為、為什麼？」佐助不解的問道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ncHQFGjvj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVrLcLyZdd
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKiYotc7Ac
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0FE2AK0EB
「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！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4cIt7xMk8
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNArMnmgBJ
佐助皺了皺眉，年幼的他還不是很懂。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAsR15BfU8
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LjMRGYWXC
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJgNEpgCGb
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPuiDMr3Us
「好痛喔！」佐助撫著發紅的額頭抱怨道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCt5tAcfnY
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSI4OYRk3
「回去吧！」鼬說。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCRFe6nN5
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbmQgzRqYX
「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！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF89yE9Wkab
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWiy9fgbBq
「天要黑了，太晚回去會被罵喔！」鼬遞出手道：「走吧！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ilpk13Sk
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG6QZo8tzg
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzLQ8RQPhR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOf6PnN0p
天候在稍晚時轉涼，隔天便下起了清冷的雨。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMbvBGierM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcJi34e62w
雨水打在窗玻璃上，淅瀝嘩啦的雨聲掩蓋了窗外的蟬聲。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DzpGs6fsQ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6zBXKfjo2
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQTpj0LgE
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QtqrboNyu
「牠不會有事的。」鼬邊閱讀手中的卷軸邊隨口敷衍道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNUy8QOpY5
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ511XmhgiCm
「你怎麼知道？」佐助轉過頭問。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWcN7r29eT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOSTEgwFf
「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？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhheXUwoLT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNCOkyYHmJ
「才、才不是……」佐助回過頭看向窗戶賭氣道：「我不知道啦！」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRYDDSpOw
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV8dyVSgY2
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF63AOCmdnr
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGS2giWowZ
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5B2fyZFNU
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgHAb9QBv6
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf3IMI20J2
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91zY0KZheg
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSwc45205w
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z77TU7qN7
「佐助，不要跑那麼快。」鼬徐徐跟在後頭，嘴巴上叮嚀道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDukEyXF6vQ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeFJg4NiW7
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvGvxkliKJ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHfdHz8jOE
「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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OjuHdcLW3
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPewJlSg4u
蟬聲在佐助耳邊迴繞著，佐助小小的心噗噗的越跳越急。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ynEVAs1Ew
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhnXC4KccO
「知了！知了！」突然間，一陣蟬鳴迫使佐助停下了腳步。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nXVrfS2hc
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEuUWxJwwx
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……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxa0fXIQmd
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDG5bhDqjg
「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……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYpRkqh88S
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerAdXgYLhe
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……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu7TCJOZJg
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ7mqL5ZTy
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……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ka4axQGkL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneX5pfMfCo
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEaq2UySUP
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoI7zs6Rcn
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。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidd8YAeW6j
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqOgSaV32T
鼬不知何時來到佐助身旁。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ruNcelN3K
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBpBwLDFYw
「哥哥……」佐助小聲喚道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGJbfQEiEy
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooeTqt2Wtv
「什麼事？」鼬默不作聲一會，回道。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1UlZ3oKZT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9CpfF36pC
「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。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OQ2F20N4T
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRKOAkKT3
自己一點都不堅強，自己的實力真的好弱……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9eOXpEEX
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZdkQTLcsq
金風襲過，落英繽紛。大樹下，鼬輕嘆了口氣。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMM55Zpprj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUPcXGUKt
「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？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBG3CMR5LT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09m83Qkgih
佐助抬起頭望著哥哥。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcLEk1RPUO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6QzJVCB21
每一次，只有他的話能帶給自己勇氣……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx87xfYKPLq
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9v3sfp8I
每一次，他都是這樣溫柔的原諒無知的自己……42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoucaMY5wDL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1aHoqfQ7w
伸出手，佐助輕扯鼬的衣袖。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTgsvFOzjo
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Mr28tig1
「哥哥……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2YVdAJ9Ae
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGPgKlfNY
「嗯？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGGyoDwDX6
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWAFxvh3Lj
「……謝謝你。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza90lHDj73
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYltLZaOz9T
佐助粉嫩的臉上，出現了久違的笑容。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3m8qN2Kj2
