佐助目不轉睛的盯著停在葉片上的蜻蜓。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOkJahV88G
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWJiNXduKC
　　哥哥說，只要在蜻蜓眼前用食指劃圈，蜻蜓就會頭暈，然後就能抓住蜻蜓。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7c3oiXxx1
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXMD26MI6j
　　佐助照著哥哥的話做了，可是蜻蜓卻飛了起來。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1CINhorfH
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoDHGlB4r5
　　「啊，不要跑！」佐助叫著追了過去。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGPERGdlli
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdP4XysMMu
　　蜻蜓像架戰鬥機似的飆著速度，飛越足下的綠色植物，往水池邊前進。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVkrcSoxPM
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiNLdJegyV
　　佐助追得很專心，沒有發覺腳下的土地愈來愈鬆軟，到後來變得濕濕滑滑的。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVzLqh1wak
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNGEJfIF0
　　到了水池邊，佐助的鞋子在泥巴上剎不住腳，整個身子朝地上跌了下去。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVctfbEcrF
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXQ58BSSQ
　　「呀！」佐助的眼睛一直看著已經飛到水面上的蜻蜓，說時遲那時快，一道黑影出現在他面前，擋住了蜻蜓的身影。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0EPHbZP0L
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVGc75keQ
　　刺眼的陽光逼得佐助閉上雙眼。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ELrHZlIRN
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtI3V17UvA
　　「嘩啦！」耳邊響起池水濺起的聲音，但是佐助並沒有跌到水裡。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPCMy8bZQ
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWar6VtT2Nf
　　佐助睜開眼，發現自己正坐在鼬身上；他爬起身，看見鼬代替他跌坐在水裡，只對他說了一句：「你沒事就好。」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKDZu36aMz
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ojs32IGsQ
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU3J5Mw1Li
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP6GqjeJBF
　　「哇──！」佐助趴在鼬背上哭：「哥哥被我弄濕了！」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSba6hKjik
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkPo0lDlEZ
　　「沒事啦，」背著佐助的鼬邊走邊笑：「你看我好好的呀。」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1863p3gP9
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdK3B29Cs3
　　佐助仍然止不住抽泣。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXxR4EaxGh
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUr8osCRv
　　鼬聽著佐助低低的啜泣聲，只能無奈的微笑。他背著弟弟走在木葉村的小巷裡，身旁都是從住家石牆冒出頭的低矮樹叢。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRSzb9qtr2
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32H5KoOIwU
　　迎面一串掛在牆頭的淡粉色花朵，原來是走到南賀神社外邊了。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroC1lsinnK
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlYk6hMKET
　　「佐助你看，櫻花開了。」鼬偏過頭對佐助說，隨即感覺到背後起了一陣小小的騷動。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWSNjYivU
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0q6phEl3o
　　佐助抬起頭，望見櫻花，眼珠子睜得圓圓的。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fEu3g9VE5
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbVdgkLWB
　　一道水柱猛地衝了出來，鼬趕緊退後一步。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZTs2UfqLd
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2jXGt3T0e
　　「抱歉、抱歉，我在灑水，弄濕你們了嗎？」神社住持擔心的探出頭來，他手上握著橘色塑膠水管。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgTRF0Crga
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8PnWtQ7ze
　　「沒事，沒關係的。」鼬搖搖頭，禮貌的回應。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzSL41jF36
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R5VOxYFck
　　「哥哥，哥哥。」好一陣子沒有說話的佐助突然開口。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIQiNU9sGf
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY8vX8NcEf
　　「什麼事？」鼬關心地問道。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xh8TcdUKR
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjpIcvUnk
　　「彩虹！」佐助用誇張的嘴型，大聲而興奮的把單詞喊了出來。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7FUuiDRQs
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq5KX2RdMo
　　鼬和住持一起往佐助所指的方向看，從水管裡噴出來的水在陽光照射下，浮現緞帶一般的彩虹。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlfEGjrEwZ
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE2Ygh96dF
　　「真漂亮。」鼬輕聲讚嘆道。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50lv5bGKx
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hd4jrAvMU
　　兩個小孩子回到家以後，被媽媽罵了一頓。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlIfphilRf
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS2mPj1ma0
　　「真是的，鼬怎麼會濕答答的回來，佐助也髒兮兮的？」媽媽一邊幫小兒子擦頭髮，嘴上一邊叨念。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedWxOVT1K
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTD699JSYG
　　「佐助在池邊滑倒，我為了救他而掉到水裡去，他大哭。」鼬已經洗好了澡也換過衣服，坐在屋簷下的木廊上。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKOehDEEso
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHSz1Cbt4y
　　「咦？佐助又哭了？佐助你已經四歲了，不能再這麼愛哭唷。」媽媽對著佐助按下了吹風機開關：「來吹頭髮囉！」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaOQ53DBce
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VXjiWlP5d
　　「唔──」佐助不情願的答應聲從轟隆的吹風機送風聲底下悶悶的傳出來。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzF16fBD4k
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTgeSIFYZp
　　「四歲也還小嘛。」鼬淡淡的說。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVzYLZyb6H
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9xZ6609b
　　「不一定喔，鼬四歲的時候已經開始學習忍術，很厲害了呢。」媽媽一邊回答鼬的話，一邊把佐助拉近面前說：「佐助來給媽媽聞一下，嗯，洗得好香喔。」說著就搔起佐助的胳肢窩，把佐助逗得好不開心。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSoy8SmwMu
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILKgL0VIt
　　「……是嗎？」鼬聽著媽媽和弟弟笑鬧的聲音，若有所思的轉過頭看向夕照下的庭院。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdM4aYnTu8
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S4wuYcuKh
　　佐助好不容易從媽媽懷裡掙脫出來，一下子又鑽到鼬懷裡，伸出頭來問：「哥哥，你在摺什麼？」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jy2WrwcTW
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGdZP7lWD
　　鼬聞身低頭，見佐助朝他手裡不斷把玩的紙製玩具猛瞧。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Nc9J8CAD
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXz9YNNTat
　　鼬好玩的把玩具舉到臉前，對佐助說：「你對著我吹一口氣看看。」29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQo2JlKvPO
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvIFwyizPN
　　「為什麼？」佐助疑惑。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmLaUU498T
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoleCr0rOqs
　　「吹嘛。」鼬笑道。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0M1SckLFK
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lUfWNQy0R
　　佐助聽話的深深吸了一口氣，把臉頰漲得鼓鼓的，然後像被鬆開的氣球一般，用力的把氣全送了出去。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPYwUmxUxP
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTC78SORro
　　玩具的扇葉開始緩緩的轉動。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rXne2qnIY
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp4yVhyZhT
　　「在轉耶！」佐助很驚訝。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaUgCgNaH1
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQnpNKVBJN
　　「這個叫風車。」鼬微笑。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzWE0klLPA
29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ZKq1QTkG
　　佐助趕緊再吹了一口氣，紙風車又徐徐轉動起來。29Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw7rgj4uqz
