Shihōin Naraku had not actually expected Sasuke Uchiha to lead the Search Team and root Ōtsutsuki Isshiki out of the Shinobi World.
If Isshiki truly wanted to remain hidden, he would be very difficult to find.
But Naraku did not want to let him have too easy a time, either. Having Sasuke lead people on searches everywhere would certainly draw his attention.

Naraku's strength would never stop advancing!
After every ten-pull, his strength would grow rapidly, though the extent of that growth varied depending on the rewards.

"As agreed, the jonin from the other villages won't arrive in Konoha until a month from now. The mission will only begin then."
"Of course, you can't spend all that
