爸爸找哥哥做什麼呢？佐助躺在飯廳地板上好奇的想著。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayhk9vVMAl
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qUZyV6J8
是不是要偷偷給哥哥糖果呢？雖然爸爸平時看起來有點兇，但是有時候他下班回來，會在桌上放好幾顆糖。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZmyIqCEZe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvzmZ3y8Z
「是同事給的啊。」爸爸總是這麼說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PtXtihSq8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5jzcarega
好不公平喔，爸爸這次帶糖回來卻只給哥哥。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAc0f5u9Ny
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTDixwcsF3
沒關係，等哥哥回來時再跟他要糖好了，哥哥一定會把糖果分給佐助的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLeIGKJiqy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRZQtRUMHr
佐助想著想著嘴巴都嘟起來了，媽媽見狀便戳他像包子一般又熱又軟的臉頰笑問：「愛生氣，你又為了什麼不高興呀？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLRAMjewPz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0lw4d8IGG
佐助正揉著臉頰時，哥哥推開紙門，回到飯廳來了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe6jdE0vCy
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGjD8dZtTm
「哥哥！」佐助像是十年沒見到人家似的撲上去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnoGk3prSJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm0y8EZeWL
「鼬，爸爸跟你說了什麼呢？」媽媽關心。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXvq7DCVo9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxMy60pho
「關於任務的事。」鼬回答。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOetOLaHA8B
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3gmq9F7KJ
一聽到「任務」，佐助頭上立刻豎起隱形的「緊張」雷達。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXM33hwknR
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd3gJog328
此時，紙門再度被開啟，爸爸進到飯廳裡來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvVrXeDY0Y
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8lrYQhIT
「你們要一起出任務嗎？」媽媽問爸爸。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShvWPY0UEe
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwcFZnWBv
「只會一起出發，我會走得更遠一點。」爸爸說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjcU0LLYlk
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlvnnZtDor
「要去多久呢？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWrDTwR4In
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtMBuWURg
「一個月吧。」爸爸啜了口茶。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ZoV5f3j9
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteYKLqAsmb
「鼬也是？」媽媽有點驚訝。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMffrTBF5mG
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KsS8OTGdA
「不，鼬不會那麼久，詳細的內容也要明天開會才知道。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBd5ClVSMz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWW9JI1UcR
聽著父母的對話，佐助愈來愈不安。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRk6JdHHfO
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4IMVkrOcp
「什麼時候出發？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OPt8kptSt
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAFCXo0USw
「後天。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCoG2sIqaM
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajY0DXcSFr
後天？這麼快？佐助抬頭望著鼬：「哥哥，你後天出發，晚上就會回來了，對不對？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWRqaTxv1n
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkKwzh0i08
鼬輕輕摸著佐助的頭苦笑：「對不起哪，我晚上不會回來喔。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfHNrvt1vx
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMILytIRYC
「那、你大後天會回來嗎？」佐助更著急了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1u3cpAl6W
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW7tGMcWRH
「大後天也沒辦法。」鼬說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdpxBHSQEi
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEw71UCgEW
至少兩天不能回家？那對佐助來說是好久好久了！佐助嚇得抱緊哥哥。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClB8s2N4po
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhXJb5nWzs
「佐助？」鼬察覺到佐助的異樣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05MKTwnqNj
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNVXfUW6na
「哥哥不要出任務！」佐助的臉漲得紅通通的，眼角有淚水在累積了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAWgeG8gmQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILrJpmmAk
「佐助……」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFiB4tP9yo
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgbcLpIks
「不行！」淚水任性的掉下來了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIptYT545aA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjCAjElbY4
鼬感覺到他上衣的下半部被佐助的淚水浸濕了，他小心的把佐助推離開他一點距離，蹲下身平視佐助說：「佐助，你好愛哭哪。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJylBuVouu
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMHxb3yQAB
雖然鼬並沒有責備佐助的意思，可是佐助一聽到哥哥這麼說，卻恨不得馬上把淚水止住，而噘起了嘴巴。佐助嘴角翹得老高，淚珠掛在眼角要流下又不流下的模樣，在鼬眼中有一點點滑稽，使他嘴角忍不住上揚。 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbifxe0ih2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPB9ahagXs
佐助發現哥哥臉上有笑意，更是難為情。到了要睡覺的時候，佐助故意把哥哥的衣角握得好用力。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNYLsVZzhV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXnSEangjx
鼬用一隻手撐著頭，看著佐助的睡顏，覺得弟弟好像太依賴自己了，但又想到弟弟還這麼小，會這麼黏他是理所當然的。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxr54Lfks
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseLp3qeUBH
然而佐助其實知道自己留不住哥哥；他也知道哥哥要接的任務無法在短時間內完成，表示任務很困難，而有能力處理這次任務的哥哥真的很厲害，這讓佐助很驕傲。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyLv1OwRcL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YAUBJnAwT
可是他就是不想跟哥哥分開哪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4czDxqYhII
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMszsSTaSVo
哥哥一直都是和他一起，在木葉村裡玩耍、捉蟲子、看火車，在家裡做紙風車，又一齊在院子裡把番茄種子播下，並看著種子發芽。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlSBDdBZ9A
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7OG3MTEV
葉子都還沒有冒幾片呢，兩天後，哥哥卻要跟他分開了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ8pxwq3v5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgn8ZkR9ra
在佐助無法跟哥哥見面的時候，哥哥會碰到什麼事情？遇到什麼樣的人？佐助都沒辦法知道。這樣子感覺兩個人變得好遙遠啊，雖然佐助年紀還小，不會想到要用「遙遠」形容這種失落感。他只覺得，自己一定會很想很想哥哥。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPvNDOVvnV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk2rZz7fBr
怎麼辦呢？49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ376cecB0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPArKhXSkZ
隔天早上，佐助醒來時，發現自己手中已經空無一物了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuvvDrx2CY
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP3s5KmGhP
哥哥不在家的這一天，佐助也沒有出門，他幾乎整天都待在飯廳。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRZAlHF22g
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82JZ0T12Vc
媽媽很放心的在廚房做事，直到聽見佐助用不尋常的聲音喊著「媽媽」。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eLMSor3yp
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU28Cj1f2c
她回頭一看，見佐助站在她身後，皺著眉頭，手指上有一道紅紅的傷口，他的眼眶又浮起一顆接一顆的泡泡了。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX04J5BpkL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBbsJ2nF9c
「你怎麼了？怎麼會受傷呢？」媽媽趕緊幫佐助擦藥，隨後回到飯廳一探究竟。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1Q62L3wD
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCXYyQaYvP
她看到矮桌上扔滿文具，以及一些破碎的紙片，她再想了想，才了解佐助剛才在弄什麼東西，而會心一笑。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6aVcvjmv8
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8tOHhfhKK
「佐助，要不要媽媽幫你忙呢？」她回頭對佐助眨了眨眼睛。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mDgMf5fEF
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gDhhxUinh
可是佐助卻一點也不領情，氣勢十足的說：「不用，我要自己來！」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3t7Tm9ImV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TeLm8ic1I
「這樣啊，好吧，但是呢，」媽媽叮嚀佐助：「你要更小心一點，不能再受傷了，好嗎？」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdA3y1iEzQ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwfF3eAWnU
「嗯！」佐助使勁點頭。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRTcwAUss0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJzcs78E9s
說是這樣說，但是直到晚餐時間之前，媽媽至少有三次又聽到佐助在她背後帶著哭腔喊「媽媽」。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP85vKhDZeq
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK6P2HLaOK
吃晚餐時，鼬發現佐助手指上都是ＯＫ繃。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWey5XpZyA
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43HCKwN87F
「為什麼你手上有ＯＫ繃？」鼬疑問。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdtkyrK5l
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsuMG9ORTP
佐助無法顧及哥哥的擔心，他的眼神因為不懂得說謊而只好往別的地方飄過去。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPPOIZ0PD6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FpYQSrhv
「他打破了盤子哪。」媽媽幫著撒謊。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaSIKikvvL
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn46mnroEfa
「真的嗎？佐助，拿盤子的時候要小心一點。」鼬無可奈何的說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YPd1T7Y2M
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiTkYL5TSf
佐助點頭，心裡偷偷鬆一口氣。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqgXv7e3p
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTuMH2Xy1Q
「不過你手上的ＯＫ繃……也貼得太多條了。」睡前，兄弟倆趴在床上，鼬又提起佐助的手傷。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc93S4nKi5
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMlsXpeMF1
「沒、沒關係，」佐助把手藏進被子裡說：「我下次會小心。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg7GHr5xWr
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUwiTV58fR
「嗯。」鼬沒有再繼續追問的意思。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAsEEM5JJ7
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcSxCqSPI
出任務的前一晚，兩個人都捨不得睡覺。床頭燈鵝黃的光線給人溫暖的感覺，窗外吹進一陣微風，佐助綁在床四周的紙風車一起隨風轉動，在床墊上留下飛動的黑影。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI68GH1Xe6
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK6MMyuGiX
「佐助，我偷偷跟你說，」鼬主動提起隔天的任務：「明天我要去的地方，對你來說很遠。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0qbWBrJg1
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBliKx11c6
佐助睜大眼睛看著哥哥，忍住不抽動鼻子。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKHuyvUaa
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgre1iq5n
「聽說那是個到處都有紙風車的村莊，大家都很會做紙風車，以賣紙風車維生，」鼬接著講：「那裡本來沒有忍者，非常祥和寧靜，但是現在有別村的忍者躲在那裡，所以我們要去把他抓起來。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qNd8hJmbJ
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3fPTorPmg
佐助一聽到「紙風車」，眼神都亮了起來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFustoudW
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnweKTGgTzD
「哥哥加凹屋──」佐助想大聲說話，但是哥哥即時按住了他的嘴巴。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpNefRnT8n
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MepVrte4S
這可是秘密啊，所以不能大聲講哪。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35qb9C7q0
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3rzczYY76
「哥哥加油！」隔著鼬的手，佐助的聲音小小的傳了出來。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM17J8axuV
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTXCkaxf4b
「嗯，我會的，」鼬露出很溫柔的笑容說：「雖然我可能要待在外面好幾天，但一定沒有問題的，所以佐助也不要擔心。」49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBvl3qaWi2
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBymUrY5Hd
佐助點點頭，被鼬按住的嘴巴還發出「嗯、嗯」的聲音。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw4lWHXCAh
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV7kTRYjn7
「睡覺吧。」鼬鬆手時說道。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvkrFXeaz
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTy0lWA6y
「哥哥，你明天出門時要叫我喔。」佐助整個陷進被窩裡，又探出頭來說。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBG7tUTHP
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6viGQFaIgV
「我會的。」鼬笑答。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaChAoDoArn
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllR2MkR0qk
佐助迷迷糊糊的睡著了，鼬提到的那個紙風車村莊，莫名的讓佐助感到安心。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBXikKmZ6F
49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPMeRiywKI
佐助做了一個夢。夢裡，天上出了個大太陽，身旁都是正在轉著扇葉的紙風車，地上是扇葉的影子，他夢到哥哥陪著他把番茄種下，番茄發了芽，長了很多葉子，愈來愈高，最後結了好多顆好多顆番茄。49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFY5avHcpv
