There were currently three possible transplant recipients.
One was the Senju Clan's representative, Senju Tobirama. Tobirama possessed enough Chakra to bear the burden of the Rinnegan.
Another was the Uchiha Clan's representative, Uchiha Obito. After Obito awakened the Mangekyo, his Chakra surged dramatically. Having adapted to his fusion with Tobi, he possessed the power of the Senju Clan.
Obito seemed more suitable, as he was a combination of Senju Power and Uchiha power.
However, the Five Kage did not consider Obito, because—he was an Uchiha.

Madara and Liao Wu were both Uchiha people. Their Actions made it impossible for the Five Kage to trust that Obito would not do anything extreme after obtaining the Rinnegan.
There seemed to be something wrong with the minds of Uchiha people.
The last candidate was the Uzumaki Clan's representative—Kushina.

Orochimaru and Hiruko watched from behind. Orochimaru's expression was ugly. The position of Ninja Sect leader had gone to Kushina, and
