Under normal circumstances, Six-Tails Utakata would not defect from the village, but they needed to watch out for his teacher, Harusame. He might cause some trouble.
Harusame was also one of Kirigakure's many high-ranking officials and a staunch supporter of Mizuki Ember.
He was also a ninja skilled in Sealing Techniques.
Back then, he had personally overseen the sealing of Six-Tails Saiken into his disciple Utakata. It had been his idea as well.
Utakata had only just gradually adapted to being a Jinchuriki. He could use part of Saiken's abilities and even maintain his sanity in a partial tailed beast state.
Yet this old man, perhaps because age had muddled his mind,
actually decided that making his disciple a Jinchuriki was too cruel. He tried every possible way to extract Six-Tails Saiken from Utakata's body again.
He even called it giving his disciple the chance to experience freedom...
Everyone knew what that meant. Once a tailed beast was extracted, its Jinchuriki would die along with it.
Provoked by the teacher he trusted most, Utakata believed Harusame wanted to kill him. He went berserk, smashed Harusame into a meat patty on the spot, and then defected from the village.
Therefore, the best way to prevent Utakata from defecting was to keep an eye on his teacher, Harusame!
And that was exactly what Soji had done. He had long since ordered an Anbu squad to monitor Harusame at all times.

So for the time being, Kirigakure only had the matter of Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata that Soji needed to worry about.
On an uncharted isolated island overseas.
Deep within the innermost cave.
