In truth, Shin Uchiha bore little hostility toward Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki standing before him. He had offered him another choice because he did not want him to meet an untimely death a few years later because of the Six-Tails.
Hearing Shin Uchiha's words, Utakata fell silent. He knew perfectly well that there was nothing wrong with what the Uchiha Clan's leader had said.

"All right. I'm willing to have that monster taken out."
Shin Uchiha nodded in satisfaction at Utakata's answer and promised:
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you come through without a scratch."
With that, Shin Uchiha dispensed with further formalities and activated his eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. A slight turn of his Sharingan sent Utakata straight back into unconsciousness.
Half a day later, Utakata woke from his unconscious state and looked around in confusion. Everything was silent, and the two uninvited visitors had vanished without a trace.

Only after quite a while did he murmur blankly to himself:
"That monster really is gone."

After reviewing those memories, Shin Uchiha could not help smiling.
When Shin's real body had left the live broadcast, Gaara and Rock Lee had just begun their fight.
He had left the Wood Clone behind
