佐助目不轉睛的盯著停在葉片上的蜻蜓。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1xIxqlssY
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVGU0lVJ4D
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn72ajIulN
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2N2wmSMU
　　佐助照著哥哥的話做了，可是蜻蜓卻飛了起來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHBKZDUM64
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPk76LXbiD
　　「啊，不要跑！」佐助叫著追了過去。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe5VBnyZCC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuCeWsjsNN
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSauBhTRaMr
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoSLsFwCiy
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz0wDyRAI0
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcpHpuvW6A
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VxolhFJ56
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8JnuQtrSh
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsSbmt2hCJ
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKYcXQybGH
　　刺眼的陽光逼得佐助閉上雙眼。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP0PkQBAsW
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpipSXGaqMi
　　「嘩啦！」耳邊響起池水濺起的聲音，但是佐助並沒有跌到水裡。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsro3KNis
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4atL2JwCN
　　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。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkABil6b6Q
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U3gSzUwYX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRzE1uRX8G
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWlrU31Ix
　　「哇──！」佐助趴在鼬背上哭：「哥哥被我弄濕了！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21oqIOHVVv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CPtggyNdY
　　「沒事啦，」背著佐助的鼬邊走邊笑：「你看我好好的呀。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYfHXFnwkq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2cvNLig8W
　　佐助仍然止不住抽泣。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaoSc1jDFu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpMYF2Njdx
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgNlCacSkE
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxoyugztGg
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfy8yQpkc2
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1gtGz7ux
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GiCWq56Iu
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFxWGkeVkM
　　佐助抬起頭，望見櫻花，眼珠子睜得圓圓的。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZmego0S3f
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrGcfZ1URh
　　一道水柱猛地衝了出來，鼬趕緊退後一步。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHIkmlYs7g
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIHvA6wGs
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfHnG5Jtex
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6HFuYsa7
　　「沒事，沒關係的。」鼬搖搖頭，禮貌的回應。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi490nkt67j
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhoHln1nlT
　　「哥哥，哥哥。」好一陣子沒有說話的佐助突然開口。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3W3t3JHze
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtijNTAebGV
　　「什麼事？」鼬關心地問道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGCrAEoJww
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHQzPAtYYg
　　「彩虹！」佐助用誇張的嘴型，大聲而興奮的把單詞喊了出來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3SJsT0H9V
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoU9PiWSAD
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0f0pw5Tjv
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3KxAQcXv
　　「真漂亮。」鼬輕聲讚嘆道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jOcZgcgS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTM5CqFu64
　　兩個小孩子回到家以後，被媽媽罵了一頓。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpUpNDLspd
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuci4uaBmQg
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5zHutTqPX
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IfIXHiaGK
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RXiDMOkWq
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTQ9mFH1T
　　「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！」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSwLjlns3p
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ969e22Wvyu
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqfhFx8fM8
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWv74ElMf
　　「四歲也還小嘛。」鼬淡淡的說。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9dYV14Ggx
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhHRJyIW0y
　　「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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgbo0Kosb
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraZPeX0pXx
　　「……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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KqYND8org
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZhJ5sGbDb
　　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？」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyprQKu6Mel
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJA9BYKYB
　　鼬聞身低頭，見佐助朝他手裡不斷把玩的紙製玩具猛瞧。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyahA4djkH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ684mPY0E0l
　　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。」35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcbq7AHP6K
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oBXPxGXga
　　「為什麼？」佐助疑惑。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAP0phTw1O
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4Ww20NEa
　　「吹嘛。」鼬笑道。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04iTjEBHm
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ENmfeKBCP
　　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。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nlsOvaIoH
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQsQb3VON
　　玩具的扇葉開始緩緩的轉動。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6ViPElWS
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnWnSK7INK
　　「在轉耶！」佐助很驚訝。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGJgZqv0FC
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP6sa7ho3u
　　「這個叫風車。」鼬微笑。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKxy2O2QyB
35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumHilGDli
　　佐助趕緊再吹了一口氣，紙風車又徐徐轉動起來。35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6o8eGiwKE
