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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdUDNW4cyp

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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDslKofYZJy

「咻－－砰！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrxq86fp5W
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJZdYqynS
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nL90hj4v3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyfGMugDoM
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLJlPkh78I
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlpqGIifRe
「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！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEptRCdTCbB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfUHJzkqP3
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxWKUp3wPK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRS66egTys
「索索……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5wWxqoX6i
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnoZGhqsw6
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc9NiOqttH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgUyj8PPVI
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp03h8wqZr
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf8aPNPaMd
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ea8cuIa0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ148b20g8iJ
「哥哥？」佐助問道。見弟弟認出自己，身為兄長的鼬溫柔的笑了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhU5mJqAJK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeAc76WO4S
「今天怎麼這麼早就回來了？」佐助問道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfzKa75qb
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0KT5vWV94
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctqbkD7uYp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEv9m6JmxK
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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq21eLMhf7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeV0bsT8hi
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08hCpyNFCB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmienlHDoIB
「佐助，」鼬說道：「不可以幫牠喔！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3amqJMO2ui
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnD1h39on
「為、為什麼？」佐助不解的問道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKcudf603p
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGMJcFi9e
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnjrUNbzQR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNZqi8f1cx
「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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVxcuDYLqu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfBPO5881n
佐助皺了皺眉，年幼的他還不是很懂。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Z8oJz9pI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGdaxtEp7o
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeHG5JJCD7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRHfKTElNR
「好痛喔！」佐助撫著發紅的額頭抱怨道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iBLUSTgh5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJrNRHFHF
「回去吧！」鼬說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVMHKkpnW0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IR22twUZX
「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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2onkjQvPz
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZvClW51hi
「天要黑了，太晚回去會被罵喔！」鼬遞出手道：「走吧！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo4169LC4N
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7LybllCKB
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp2YWHC6uO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2nlMs2sg
天候在稍晚時轉涼，隔天便下起了清冷的雨。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cFRtCk0PQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7zJKwtxDk
雨水打在窗玻璃上，淅瀝嘩啦的雨聲掩蓋了窗外的蟬聲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEq7bF7BjP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatxzVcupw
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgHPz4u5hg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG1pcELveK
「牠不會有事的。」鼬邊閱讀手中的卷軸邊隨口敷衍道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsJ35bVPZJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmI95x3pB1
「你怎麼知道？」佐助轉過頭問。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUqxkgGwUh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKJJyWlTw
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUcV22IkSE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXbBGGnj9
「才、才不是……」佐助回過頭看向窗戶賭氣道：「我不知道啦！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme06o7IfE8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFXUvmabHL
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KS3NHoSVh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK7WroHxnC
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FC5BUTU54
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FdsFi1yvv
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytQI2a2Tu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ02uhda6H
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMOm3GGiEg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQkUD0sONj
「佐助，不要跑那麼快。」鼬徐徐跟在後頭，嘴巴上叮嚀道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ng2AAqWxL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcWokCcIew
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXkkolJpNn
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjckxmth4X
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJylZaxww
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEX68uDr3
蟬聲在佐助耳邊迴繞著，佐助小小的心噗噗的越跳越急。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AIkPcavph
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVc5x64hhI
「知了！知了！」突然間，一陣蟬鳴迫使佐助停下了腳步。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN8bDPrntt
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzeEhyT3q0
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……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNOxm9uZy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyU88c0zZk
「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……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0kwNdOAzs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZcgpBN9s
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……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXyfxXXkRx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna6AZlfaOO
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……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNh0HJoOn6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3THBF62xt
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAHzKIgVE9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WWnVNVNX
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWAKwE6gkc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSHXbh4rHx
鼬不知何時來到佐助身旁。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNFAvXtl95
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtDGWBX7q1
「哥哥……」佐助小聲喚道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYqYliA9X6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvwq2sGDYe
「什麼事？」鼬默不作聲一會，回道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnakxyF1FdL
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwP51778xL
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1GKw7ehue
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9QYXzCyNp
自己一點都不堅強，自己的實力真的好弱……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXeuFEPdCS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqU6RZ5qr
金風襲過，落英繽紛。大樹下，鼬輕嘆了口氣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtfbIssKA6
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITHDbEsueP
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDJrZsDIC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8di40myN6k
佐助抬起頭望著哥哥。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFrpupefXF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkDufKQSue
每一次，只有他的話能帶給自己勇氣……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi7o6nQd12
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK4843I2R9
每一次，他都是這樣溫柔的原諒無知的自己……47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8VtRwDeX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGHPeBmgg4
伸出手，佐助輕扯鼬的衣袖。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwcd9YmmSx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9clA9jCVBf
「哥哥……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VA65MabW3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCtaRSEIF

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxooaF74YO
「……謝謝你。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocF58p56Wa

佐助粉嫩的臉上，出現了久違的笑容。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHuEZcX3SB
