Several months had already passed, so Shinji naturally wasn't in a hurry. He first reassured Karin, then returned home and began planning the arrangements for impacting the Rinnegan on his own.
"First, I need to bring Yugito Nii here. She's the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, so one person's Chakra can match that of a whole crowd of ordinary people."
"This attempt to impact the Rinnegan must be kept absolutely secret. It can't be carried out in the village."
"It would be best if I could use instruments to monitor Karin's physical data while she awakens the Rinnegan and provide data support for my own attempt afterward."
Shinji wrote and sketched in his notebook, recording each point that needed attention.
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii, was currently staying in the Land of Hot Water under his arrangements. The Land of Hot Water bordered the sea and had varied, complicated terrain, making it highly suitable for wanted criminals to hide and operate. Thus, although Kumogakure had been tracking her all along, it had never found any trace of Yugito Nii.
If he brought Yugito Nii to the Land of Fire, however, the risk of exposure would increase dramatically.
After all, this was no longer the same as several years ago. The activity of the Akatsuki Organization and the matter of the Upper Rank secretly puppeteering Kusagakure had put the Five Great Shinobi Villages on edge.

Otherwise, the slightest slipup could expose his whereabouts.
As for secrecy, he had to get it right this time.
The Rinnegan was far too significant. Once exposed, it would not only attract the covetous attention of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, but also the hostility of
