It was precisely because of this concern that the Fourth Raikage chose to conceal the existence of the mysterious old man with the Byakugan. He hadn't mentioned him even at the Kage Summit.
"The clues are in Konoha, within the Hyuga Clan!" The Fourth Raikage waved a hand. "Kiba, this is your assignment. Find out who that young man from the Hyuga Clan is!"
Kiba nodded firmly. "You can count on me!"
Back on the battlefield, while gravely wounded, he had witnessed Shinji take Yugito Nii and Neji away.

The Fourth Raikage turned to an attendant nearby and asked, "Has the Intelligence Squad found any news about Yugito Nii?"
The attendant lowered his head. "I'm sorry!"
Suppressing his anger, the Fourth Raikage said, "Keep searching. You must find out where Yugito Nii is!"
"Yes!"
