爸爸找哥哥做什麼呢？佐助躺在飯廳地板上好奇的想著。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TLkI3sH64
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6HuZnjpgy
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvwjzKzuaM
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn6vQqo1Kw
「是同事給的啊。」爸爸總是這麼說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8woM1FjMt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbii6JTMW
好不公平喔，爸爸這次帶糖回來卻只給哥哥。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ywcmTjcx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTsHj3asXI
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPEMHH2Zpp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y0fOXGz3Z
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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBETXgQ11hu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqtfuYMAhA
佐助正揉著臉頰時，哥哥推開紙門，回到飯廳來了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMw5W3Smcx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDI8gDi0e8
「哥哥！」佐助像是十年沒見到人家似的撲上去。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ayAQ9DOq
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQENX4fMtT
「鼬，爸爸跟你說了什麼呢？」媽媽關心。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B7x8hABtC
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeEjOTXsnW
「關於任務的事。」鼬回答。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUeyDRUD6C
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUaw9ZIoLI
一聽到「任務」，佐助頭上立刻豎起隱形的「緊張」雷達。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWnCeUTxZC
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN73XpwvBU
此時，紙門再度被開啟，爸爸進到飯廳裡來。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsKbfuSOqj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxv832wJRC
「你們要一起出任務嗎？」媽媽問爸爸。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQXgXbUh9s
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjdrTPbCMi
「只會一起出發，我會走得更遠一點。」爸爸說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4iOSOrZHI
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIFdZdHoDE
「要去多久呢？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvULVUJeEi
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWJnBwzzP0
「一個月吧。」爸爸啜了口茶。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2hpBji3xu
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2t6M9QVqo
「鼬也是？」媽媽有點驚訝。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gcGKXkww2
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5354s3B4ux
「不，鼬不會那麼久，詳細的內容也要明天開會才知道。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cRCwvQXl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LcDAvtQGZ
聽著父母的對話，佐助愈來愈不安。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeRXsxp7Ao
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7h8CkiOZL
「什麼時候出發？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWldYzkVxg
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnQS0uvYA
「後天。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPzH3H5ukv
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IAtaYz9vN
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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1PCzeAT7F
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk50NjJAHy
鼬輕輕摸著佐助的頭苦笑：「對不起哪，我晚上不會回來喔。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikoH6KzWyA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgDHl5O4n
「那、你大後天會回來嗎？」佐助更著急了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv0Xk7YjAl
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4iowPAacw
「大後天也沒辦法。」鼬說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGCZGz9WpZ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OzbOwlXow
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a4RqJG87U
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmlmMtPQQD
「佐助？」鼬察覺到佐助的異樣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaURYFw6fWV
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP5b40kVMK
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTH4uK0pIy
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89KmYkePEP
「佐助……」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMKyBke9qz
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsNwsPwN94
「不行！」淚水任性的掉下來了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaXBtSzegt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLsOtoG2rS
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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHTQrWTVN8
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrApKhWKQRu
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。 51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYUOytpAo
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsPxLeMQj6
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrZPprEGec
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytSMDfowR
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bOrphEf4o
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLrC6OjWdJ
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtEVZLHYt3
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWlnVfomWZ
可是他就是不想跟哥哥分開哪。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloB23qD1Qx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB6Ab9IlKq
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcXm9aRZvx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvC42YW8fm
葉子都還沒有冒幾片呢，兩天後，哥哥卻要跟他分開了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiDis2y5bc
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb6J8e7tRG
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuguTOlp1lC
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3CeM0Up8
怎麼辦呢？51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKv5YbJj8l
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOKyH5n3Qs
隔天早上，佐助醒來時，發現自己手中已經空無一物了。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ90BlF2qIt
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lNsWmWvK
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNqk1LHeFo
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqHhzFsxY
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」。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII0Lu3nbUN
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Zv8wO2di
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYrkHNKVK0
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoQl4rR4nO
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2EMaLzAs9
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEda5OmJEw
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqsRb6Type
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtSdF8ZJ40
「佐助，要不要媽媽幫你忙呢？」她回頭對佐助眨了眨眼睛。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAE9N27oMw
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE452hEYBkc
可是佐助卻一點也不領情，氣勢十足的說：「不用，我要自己來！」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7H8jTfu4R
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWTkN4eWF
「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？」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCsncVWxpA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRTs0J8PDW
「嗯！」佐助使勁點頭。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAFa0r6rzp
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBNH7iP3M
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」。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwh8avQ6b5
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoowodSPnX
吃晚餐時，鼬發現佐助手指上都是ＯＫ繃。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB5j6GkpWJ
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEeWjD70i5
「為什麼你手上有ＯＫ繃？」鼬疑問。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm3jct2gee
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xv9zf9mxB
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs5EgxMtWE
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3JeQus3G
「他打破了盤子哪。」媽媽幫著撒謊。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOQtxN0vLx
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM8YrhPNne
「真的嗎？佐助，拿盤子的時候要小心一點。」鼬無可奈何的說。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hVPPTGJ7
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHRHIaXhrk
佐助點頭，心裡偷偷鬆一口氣。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJfDfiUQUm
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQMvSCV5X0
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3nrp4CyOR
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0MYDcLdyH
「沒、沒關係，」佐助把手藏進被子裡說：「我下次會小心。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFribPUwK8A
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFLe0WcbKm
「嗯。」鼬沒有再繼續追問的意思。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez8mAqjnBa
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYDNRtiXGN
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUH11obCA
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhEOWmHb7Q
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G64gHg81x
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmetp4BnVH
佐助睜大眼睛看著哥哥，忍住不抽動鼻子。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSbiMoAS67
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttd5jqix8t
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxkLUcHXYq
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD53BMmqJA
佐助一聽到「紙風車」，眼神都亮了起來。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QbYZYmNE8
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7EXZz3ocY
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZpBDM75r
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxeP1C6bn
這可是秘密啊，所以不能大聲講哪。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdGvGVXoYc
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWnGGqeVnl
「哥哥加油！」隔著鼬的手，佐助的聲音小小的傳了出來。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCS29D1pha
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAwWcN7XMa
「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。」51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcgDqUb6ef
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqa2xgtz3
佐助點點頭，被鼬按住的嘴巴還發出「嗯、嗯」的聲音。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckOGSRVVjn
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFZtT70wS
「睡覺吧。」鼬鬆手時說道。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZxodYg0le
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1YNHpZl3F
「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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IZtfhThh5
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqIVM9O9k
「我會的。」鼬笑答。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUFTHXFxAj
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaF1E740dX
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhseRfyWrS2
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSnFEesELu
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。51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X8KC5lsyK
