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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENv3JDsnV

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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzd8jWxCSW

「咻－－砰！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b9rOPOTHo
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W36lUr4O2
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvdx4wMowc
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXwizynd0Z
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE13MfKn8U
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBnWZVhsGW
「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！43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsqt3pSekx
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLaMWhcHzC
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe21ktCJaF
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVXYa5At6v
「索索……」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoww2Otfkek
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSp0Rtr0m
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq19DJlM1Gw
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RQfz4T0l
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFCWGKyyao
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHNFV3seV
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdidhi7Bocn
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HtdpQdyxV
「哥哥？」佐助問道。見弟弟認出自己，身為兄長的鼬溫柔的笑了。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPOVc1YDfs
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsh1FJNBI0
「今天怎麼這麼早就回來了？」佐助問道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgUmzFQjlY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxsLMmU2H
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH64LBwUffF
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLOSC3tuiu
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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9MmGfuvIV
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSDOay0R45
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？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDGpHumE0
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CSW2oru9R
「佐助，」鼬說道：「不可以幫牠喔！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s06Y9BUVv
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaR0WlEV7F
「為、為什麼？」佐助不解的問道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygNA3qrsW9
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ220AUUlJ6F
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gIthIX2Y
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZApVa4ZCa
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzQzIROH1c
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Afbfb7Yj3
佐助皺了皺眉，年幼的他還不是很懂。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQcm9A1g81
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4eOnpRU3C
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LGt9HbC8i
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UIFEEbF4P
「好痛喔！」佐助撫著發紅的額頭抱怨道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cno5LcOAt
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3hRdGdYg
「回去吧！」鼬說。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ndLmmD8Z
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL51zrJMo9
「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！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3frciwDOMe
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyBllwJqCx
「天要黑了，太晚回去會被罵喔！」鼬遞出手道：「走吧！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLIjRq6JxS
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUlTztkED0
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnkIz2AR7
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQWY4k6oH
天候在稍晚時轉涼，隔天便下起了清冷的雨。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aLmER390l
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdqrrKfAiy
雨水打在窗玻璃上，淅瀝嘩啦的雨聲掩蓋了窗外的蟬聲。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoeY1LNCdy
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTX6DZnhh
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dRCrq2IX
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheeTuqiOuz
「牠不會有事的。」鼬邊閱讀手中的卷軸邊隨口敷衍道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdONoeNbNN
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2BgVcpZ6
「你怎麼知道？」佐助轉過頭問。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qZfUymnYz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uL5HBIY8A
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0etdgihHR4
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9284SBsv
「才、才不是……」佐助回過頭看向窗戶賭氣道：「我不知道啦！」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSiabYW35r
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xSREyeYN
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyGUMRw0Sv
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL93tULIE5T
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDBTkjTq2u
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrlDc3xcV
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK6AfG35r9
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqIbvZ1mYs
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4olco7BVN
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvhYOc2vne
「佐助，不要跑那麼快。」鼬徐徐跟在後頭，嘴巴上叮嚀道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGk845czXo
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7h4QKU7OI
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpZvda3DF0
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmA7wG1q0e
「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswUTG6ZKa
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2Qv44if2
蟬聲在佐助耳邊迴繞著，佐助小小的心噗噗的越跳越急。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR1dCAEkAv
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu702l2sDG5
「知了！知了！」突然間，一陣蟬鳴迫使佐助停下了腳步。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5pfLd4fJR
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC30Nl2EOU
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……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkWhoyIg4k
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRWCMA3MF
「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……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHBaPWBwtu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWeZffzkcW
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……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGd1Mmnmra
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo95JMTDdd
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……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAaxaeBqYl
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBvsnC6KJo
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMg7QhyAeD
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd11rAmdPCE
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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWHiQI7puZ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUbVfzLBGO
鼬不知何時來到佐助身旁。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcxrTROdjW
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcJz6YZacl
「哥哥……」佐助小聲喚道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdE1VqlKJ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vC6vT2DK7
「什麼事？」鼬默不作聲一會，回道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpfJ0bA2US
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRjclEqRJ
「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoiuihB7Rl
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECg8Vj7uI
自己一點都不堅強，自己的實力真的好弱……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVfbdgpFQc
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaGncbq3cE
金風襲過，落英繽紛。大樹下，鼬輕嘆了口氣。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXxTEDo9b
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgguIJyQaSz
「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？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNAubYQRz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99gC4nFkhf
佐助抬起頭望著哥哥。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDGr71fnjB
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13HAvpWF3Z
每一次，只有他的話能帶給自己勇氣……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2DH1czsMO
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4MpUMbIC
每一次，他都是這樣溫柔的原諒無知的自己……43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0pmjZrKAj
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmleqgEUEv
伸出手，佐助輕扯鼬的衣袖。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12YiwAkhRf
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83sbExnG4s
「哥哥……」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlW5gQLAFB
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiOJAMOnTB
「嗯？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEskQJl4KM
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjJ1IKa9Xg
「……謝謝你。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8EtddwcBE
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQLaTlrCES
佐助粉嫩的臉上，出現了久違的笑容。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCTK3n8Xg2
