Poor Isshiki had yet to realize that inviting Soji into Kara was practically letting a wolf into his home!
When he realized it in the future, who knew whether he would regret it so badly his guts turned green?
At the very least, though, Isshiki was currently delighted to have recruited Soji.
As for Urashiki, he could let that foul-tempered bastard scout things out first.
If Urashiki successfully killed both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, then without a doubt, Isshiki would immediately kick Soji aside and declare that he would continue cooperating with Urashiki.
But if Urashiki failed, then his partner would officially become Soshi!
In short, as far as Isshiki was concerned, he could not lose either way.
In truth, Isshiki had told Soji about Kara and invited him to join not only to placate him, but also to create the illusion for Urashiki that he was still keeping Soshi in check!
Only then would Urashiki feel secure enough to go after Naruto Uzumaki.
Of course, once Urashiki went after Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha would be an obstacle he could not avoid.
In other words, without knowing that Toneri had already awakened the Tenseigan, Isshiki believed Urashiki needed the strength to deal with both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha at once!
And so, Urashiki was temporarily fooled by Isshiki.
This battle was worth it after all. Urashiki has taken the bait!
After Soji agreed to join Kara, Isshiki silently thought to himself.
Now that he considered it, Isshiki suddenly realized that everything still seemed to be under his control!
Whether it was Urashiki or Soshi, they were both now his partners in Isshiki's eyes, and the two of them also bore grudges against each other.
