Seeing him still standing at the door, Mikoto blinked and said, "What's wrong? Come in quickly."
"No, it's okay," Uchiha Sogetsu smiled again. He secretly activated his Spirit Vision, then walked into the house, pretending to look around.
He asked casually, "By the way, Lady Mikoto, how about the amulet I gave you? Is it effective?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you properly yet~"
Mikoto pursed her red lips, lifted her hair, and said softly, "Thanks to your amulet, I've been sleeping well lately."
After using a simple conversation to get the information he wanted, Uchiha Sogetsu had some guesses in his mind. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Where is Itachi? Let me see the child."
"Okay~"
Mikoto said softly, inviting him into the bedroom.
This was the newly born Uchiha Itachi. Looking at the baby lying on the bed, wrapped in white cloth, Uchiha Sogetsu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Who could have known that this child would be the cause of the Uchiha clan's demise?
"How is it? Very cute, isn't he?"
Mikoto gently picked up Itachi and said softly, "Itachi, look, your future teacher is here to see you~"
Mikoto's big, watery eyes revealed a hint of pride, like a little girl waiting for praise. She looked at Uchiha Sogetsu beside her and said proudly, "You don't know, this child is very well-behaved. He doesn't scream or cry, and he opened his Sharingan as soon as he was born!"
Sister, you act as if this is all my doing.
Uchiha Sogetsu sighed inwardly. Although, perhaps, he did have some part in it.
As if sensing someone's presence, little Itachi in his mother's arms slowly opened his eyes. Just as Mikoto had said, he didn't cry or scream when he saw the stranger.
Instead, he stared quietly, babbling and reaching out his hand as if he saw something that interested him.
"Ah~ Look, this kid likes you very much~"
Seeing this, Mikoto held the child in her arms, feeling even happier.
"Yeah, this kid is very smart."
Uchiha Sogetsu looked at Itachi, ripples in his eyes, observing the child through his Spirit Vision.
Sure enough, it was almost as he guessed! Itachi had a Beyonder characteristic hidden in his body. Although it was not very complete, it was enough to rival Sequence Nine.
"It's the Beyonder characteristic of the Hanged Man Pathway. There is a hint of corruption in the spiritual world." He pushed the frame and explored Itachi's astral body more deeply, and found that it was just as he expected. The spiritual world was not pure and thorough, but was covered with a layer of black shadow.
If you continue to observe more deeply, you can even faintly hear a faint whisper.
Uchiha Sogetsu was very familiar with this voice, it was the mumbling from the 'Real Rap Master', but the sequence of this little fellow was still very low, so the impact was not very obvious.
I have to say, this is a pleasant surprise.
He had casually placed a chess piece, but he had never expected that it would actually create a Beyonder for him!
"Are you praying for someone with the Sequence 9: Secrets Supplicant?"
Uchiha Sogetsu said silently in his heart, staring straight at Itachi.
Being affected by the spell, Mikoto was in a state of decadent mumbling for a long time, which eventually led to the child she gave birth to being born with the Beyonder characteristics of the Hanged Man!
"It seems that you like Itachi too~"
Mikoto saw him staring at the child for a long time without saying anything, and smiled sweetly: "When Itachi is three years old, he will be able to learn from you. You must teach him well then~"
"Um."
Uchiha Sogetsu smiled slightly and said, "I will definitely teach this child well."
Nothing else to say.
Just because Itachi is a Hanged Man Sequence, he will train him well.

At this time, a line of semi-transparent subtitles silently appeared on the system.
Staring at the line of subtitles, Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes narrowed slightly, his deep thoughts churning, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Mikoto-sama, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." He smiled politely and said, "I still have some things to deal with in the ANBU. I'll come visit Itachi again next time."
Mikoto was a little disappointed and bit her lip reluctantly, but could only whisper, "Okay, come and see Itachi more often in the future, this kid likes you very much~"
It was unclear whether this sentence was Itachi's idea or her own.
In response, Uchiha Sogetsu could only smile and quickly leave.
Since they knew in advance that the Hidden Mist Village and the Iwagakure were planning to wage war against Konoha, under the instruction of the Hokage, the village stopped accepting missions and kept recalling the veteran ninjas who were away, always preparing for the upcoming war.
People like Tsunade, Jiraiya, etc., also received recall missions, but the two of them seemed to ignore it.
A storm was brewing and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire Konoha.
The instigator of all this, Uchiha Sogetsu, seemed to be staying out of it and forgotten, repeating the same days of 'going to work' and 'going off work' every day.
In order to complete his task, Uchiha Sogetsu had to return to Konoha Hospital for consultations.
It was clear that many ninjas were afflicted with various ailments, and even more had mental health issues.
However, Uchiha Sogetsu did not treat everyone. He specifically chose elite jonin and occasionally conducted psychological treatments.
Each time, he was meticulous, quietly implanting psychological suggestions. At night, he leveraged his abilities as a dream walker to subtly hypnotize them through their dreams.
"Thank you, Sogetsu."
Nara Shikaku sat before him, looking grateful. "If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done!"
"It's nothing, Shikaku-san."
Uchiha Sogetsu smiled gently and replied, "During these times, it's normal for everyone to have such thoughts. You shouldn't blame yourself too much."
"Hearing you say that, I feel much better."
Nara Shikaku smiled, scratching his head. "You wouldn't believe it, but recently, in my dreams, it was always me and Danzo, you know?"
"Uh, yeah, I understand."
Uchiha Sogetsu's smile stiffened slightly, wanting to say that he really didn't understand.
"Thanks to your treatment, I feel much better now!"
Nara Shikaku seemed rejuvenated as he said, "Now, I finally don't have to be bullied by the tigress at home. Just wait and see how I'll handle her when I get back!"
With that, he straightened his chest and walked out of the clinic.
Watching Nara Shikaku's retreating figure, Uchiha Sogetsu rubbed his brows and exhaled softly. "Tsk, if it weren't for Danzo, I wouldn't have completed this mission so quickly."
Thanks to Danzo, who caused significant psychological trauma to Konoha's jonin, Sogetsu successfully completed his mission, hypnotizing ten elite jonin.

"Emblem of the Concealment."
Uchiha Sogetsu stared at the emblem, his thoughts wandering. "Speaking of which, if I shout 'Kuroya Mama,' will anyone come to save me?"
