Uchiha Yin had long found it troublesome that he had no intelligence network of his own. But now, hadn't one just fallen into his lap?
As members of Konoha's Elder Council, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had no powerful Ninja organization like Root, but they still had plenty of people under them. They could even mobilize some of ANBU.
They weren't particularly strong, but they held considerable power. Uchiha Yin intended to control them and gain access to their intelligence network.
Over the years, Uchiha Yin's ocular power had grown terrifying. Combined with his ever-improving control over Yin Release Chakra, he could use an ability similar to Kotoamatsukami directly on anyone whose resistance to genjutsu wasn't strong enough.
And he intended to use that genjutsu on Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.
Then, when something happened, he wouldn't have to track down the mastermind himself as he had this time.

More importantly, by controlling the Elder Council, Uchiha Yin would get the intelligence network he wanted without having to do any of the work.
It wasn't as though Konoha's elders or the Hokage had nothing to do. Their daily responsibilities were endless.
They were practically tied to Konoha, unable to leave.
That was why Jiraiya and Tsunade had both refused to become Hokage in the original story.
Uchiha Yin hated trouble too.
Controlling Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu was the best approach.
Of course, he couldn't control them in front of everyone. What would people think he was up to?
Besides, doing it in public would put everyone on guard against him.
Uchiha Yin wasn't afraid of that, but he didn't want things to come to that.
He wasn't the type to make trouble for himself.
As the Graduation Exam began, the conference room fell quiet.
