粉刷上白色的牆壁,原先爬著年久失修的裂痕,以及學步時扶著壁面留下的巴掌印。後來又增加了些東西,以父親的毛筆亂抹的塗鴉等等,都是佐助牙牙學語時代的傑作。41Please respect copyright.PENANA5stuH1Jma8
41Please respect copyright.PENANABZouGSwoLb
在鼬的口才還不是那麼流利,佐助則是連句基本的會話都說不清楚的那段歲月裡,有一回,鼬在木廊撞見正就著牆壁大肆揮毫的佐助。41Please respect copyright.PENANAbiVI6f0IJW
41Please respect copyright.PENANAjFYLUL29zP
當時,鼬停下腳步,佐助也聞聲轉過頭來。佐助全身上下只包了片尿布,白淨的臉上落了一點墨水,渾圓的雙眸烏烏亮亮。他還那麼小,坐不挺,又不會走,以一顆靜置於牆角的球形容也不為過,就在那麼小的範圍內,佐助畫了一排歪歪扭扭的手裏劍。平時總躺在母親懷裡看鼬擦拭苦無,結果作畫時盡塗些武器類的事物,竟無半點小孩應頗著迷的童話人物或是玩具機器人。41Please respect copyright.PENANAqvyx9BIt9J
41Please respect copyright.PENANAqDqX3xch9V
該嫌佐助是個沒有夢想的小孩,還是身為忍者本來就不須有太多不切實際的幻想?41Please respect copyright.PENANApW1IaD9ClB
41Please respect copyright.PENANACuCAwu4MLo
鼬瞅著佐助單薄的穿著,覺得佐助身上披了件無形的衣裳,比任何一件有形的衣物都要來得護身。父親的期待、忍者艱險的命運有點壓力地裹著佐助幼小的身軀,佐助彷彿披覆著它們而出生,注定一輩子的辛苦與挑戰。41Please respect copyright.PENANAL375EPvQRd

雖然,多一些阻礙,而非永遠地平順,人生才顯刺激。但是,若人生是條長遠的路,而困難像平舖在步道上的石子,一顆緊接一顆,不留間隔,那麼,即使一開始是赤著雙足去踩,走久了腳底也會麻木的。41Please respect copyright.PENANATOSaPGetOM
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxIt2p1eY32
也許,人只有初次遇到衝擊時會心生新鮮感而全力以赴;只有在真心想迎接挑戰的人的眼神裡,才能找到於漆黑的深潭底隱隱漾動的光芒。41Please respect copyright.PENANA5xjF74jQ3p
41Please respect copyright.PENANAuimwdC5d7J
就像佐助水汪汪的瞳仁。41Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAnmrqm1B
41Please respect copyright.PENANA2s4a02dHIP
鼬想,自己也曾有過那樣的眼神,在他還很小的時候。鼬很少回憶自己的兒時,在他的印象裡,嬰孩總是哭鬧,稍稍憶及過去任性而不夠穩重的自己,都令他彆扭萬分。然而,有時看見嬰兒用盡全身力量哭泣的模樣,他會在心底感到佩服。41Please respect copyright.PENANAqewrX4PHbt

如果他們能記得出生是一件很不簡單的事情。41Please respect copyright.PENANAbfF2bISigY
41Please respect copyright.PENANAJzxZ47k3I1
如果他們能像初生兒般,用力地為一件事喜悅、悲傷。41Please respect copyright.PENANAMzL5Drg4dY
41Please respect copyright.PENANArHoIjcDPd5
如果他們能永遠不忘記剛踏入這個世界時的驚奇與感動,以這份情緒去面對日後發生的每一件事。41Please respect copyright.PENANAY39qK45N6F
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHy07JrTlQb
那麼,當他們從人生的起點啟程,步行了沒多遠,走到了半途,甚至是經歷了全程的四分之三……駐足望著前方的未來,他們將不感乏味,進而不覺茫然或迷失。41Please respect copyright.PENANA0DomcKjbCe

簷外,綠葉細細飄落,像生命中注定要落定的幾許命數。一陣微風漫過庭院送上木廊,柔風清爽地拂過兩人的身子,猶如母親溫柔的雙手。佐助像隻安靜的小動物般,手裡的毛筆默默地攢緊。41Please respect copyright.PENANA8AdPRMS0AM
41Please respect copyright.PENANAiU8girSmTs
白胖胖的掌心緊得翻紅了,反教鼬想起了一年前的彼此。41Please respect copyright.PENANAZkEgEWG0dW
41Please respect copyright.PENANA0tm93rOQi7
那時候,和室內萬籟俱寂,或是所有聲響皆被掩蓋,鼬雙耳聽見的只有佐助的哭聲。從母親腹中誕生的個體,他的哭聲驚天動地,令鼬很是驚訝。鼬嘗試以指觸碰佐助蹙紅的額頭,卻猛地給佐助緊緊地抓住。41Please respect copyright.PENANAJpQt0xDRyn
41Please respect copyright.PENANAVsv0Zfk0xB
白皙的指尖沾上裹著嬰孩的血水,溫熱的血浸著偌大的握力燙入鼬心深處。鼬意識到,原來伴隨一個人誕生的不僅有背負在身的壓力和使命,還有源源不絕的力量,號召希望與幸福的堅強力量。41Please respect copyright.PENANAIoZecrq55r
41Please respect copyright.PENANAFd3V2S1jSs
佐助用雙手握著鼬的指梢,醞釀於眶的淚水越發地流。垂下的眉擰出不悅的神情,小小的身軀哭得全身顫抖,脆弱得讓人心痛。偌大的握力迫切地尋求依靠,努力地傳達不願再孤獨下去的心情。41Please respect copyright.PENANAP6UcAAIZwa
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIU9GDzsGTh
鼬忽然被依賴了,心裡驀地生疼。他的手指輕輕地彎下,勾住佐助弱小的手。那一刻,他在心裡堅定地告訴自己:他們是唯一的兄弟。41Please respect copyright.PENANAP5RMYwmZpv
41Please respect copyright.PENANAtNPVWGhP7k
牽在一塊的羈絆是無形的線,隱身於空氣中,卻仍能確定它的存在。41Please respect copyright.PENANAUw2WPiVsJP
41Please respect copyright.PENANATJKWVHVaOc
無語地與佐助對看有些久了,鼬想到自己也該走開了。足下的木板因壓力而發出吱吱軋軋的聲響,走過佐助身旁時,鼬蹲下身,將手放在佐助黑而柔軟的髮上。41Please respect copyright.PENANAb3MB9ChSnx
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzFinSNvOLO
庭院裡,含著草木香的空氣純純淨淨的,佐助睜大眼看鼬,鼬的臉上也平平靜靜地沒有太明顯的表情。41Please respect copyright.PENANAeRIUqXzFFa
41Please respect copyright.PENANAMEu2wYQ8Rx
「我跟你,是世上唯一的兄弟。」鼬注視佐助,一字一句地說道。41Please respect copyright.PENANAs0UXVo0Ax3
41Please respect copyright.PENANA3EHIhzCvOw
然後,手拿開,鼬便起身走掉了。41Please respect copyright.PENANAxmBcXB5twa
41Please respect copyright.PENANAWBawxqfrjN
天空青青的,白白的雲絲緩緩地飄移。佐助凝目於鼬離去的背影,嘴裡嚼著些不甚清晰的童音。41Please respect copyright.PENANAhf4fCIlYNv
41Please respect copyright.PENANAXUhsoeXs5n
「咕……嚕……咕……」佐助把話嘟囊完,便回過身繼續畫圖。41Please respect copyright.PENANAwYIp1uhyTN
41Please respect copyright.PENANANIdhV22oGF
沒人聽懂的話語,究竟說了些什麼呢?41Please respect copyright.PENANA2A0ujVmk6t
41Please respect copyright.PENANApOzgYxyqSs
也許是「謝謝」,或者是「話可是你說的」之類的吧!41Please respect copyright.PENANAMBnbUR4uR4
41Please respect copyright.PENANARbui5EYmHj
不過,鼬並沒有聽見。41Please respect copyright.PENANAd90WeOmcSt
