Nagato will definitely make a move on the Tailed Beasts in order to achieve Akatsuki's goal.
Lin's existence also can't be said to be completely without threat.
As far as Hakushi knows, the limit of the Sharingan is the Rinnegan, and toward Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki it exerts an extrely terrifying suppressive power.
This suppressive power is probably above even the Sharingan and Wood Style.
Although Lin is a researcher who also practices dicine, she still needs to master a basic level of combat ability.
The many abilities of the Rinnegan are still an unknown quantity and can't be taken lightly.
Hakushi's silence was the best answer.
Lin was a smart girl and knew very well what her situation was.
From the mont she was given new life, she no longer had anything to do with Konoha.
This was her second life, but this second life that should have been like a rebirth didn't seem to be going smoothly either.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi… is it really that beautiful?"
Lin asked this.
As Hakushi's personally taught disciple, the information Lin had access to was far more than what outsiders knew.
Otherwise she wouldn't be standing here, researching Tailed Beasts.
In her view, Infinite Tsukuyomi was nothing more than a self-deceiving thod; peace like that couldn't be called peace at all.
"Nagato's goal isn't Infinite Tsukuyomi. Besides, even regarding Infinite Tsukuyomi, we actually don't know much. Katsuyu didn't personally witness that battle; what it knows is also limited."
Hakushi had a clear grasp of most of the Ninja Realm's secrets.
But there were still many places where he couldn't obtain a better explanation.
Compared to losing his own people to probe Akatsuki's depths, letting Akatsuki and the Five Great Nations fight until both sides were badly hurt instead fit Hakushi's interests better.
As long as Hoshigaki Kisa could successfully enter Akatsuki.
Then at the right ti, Akatsuki's threat could be dismantled from within.

Hakushi was in an inner, private laboratory, conducting experints alone.
After the deal with Nagato that day, he had set his mind on Yin-Yang Style.
In addition to his work and research, he never forgot to cultivate this kind of Secret Technique, Yin-Yang Style.
Although it was called Yin-Yang Style, in truth it was fundantally different from Yin Style and Yang Style.
The profundity of its Jutsu was also far more abstruse and difficult to understand than that of Yin Style or Yang Style alone.
Yin-Yang Style is the legendary art of creating sothing from nothing; to a certain extent, it complents and echoes his own soul clones.
This was also why he needed to make a deal with Nagato—because Yin-Yang Style could allow him to upgrade and improve his entire Ninja Techniques system.
Not only clones; it could also be applied to dical Ninjutsu.
His dical Ninjutsu had already incorporated Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Art System; if he further integrated the life‑creating Yin-Yang Style into it… would that an he could achieve regrowth of severed limbs?
Or perhaps go a step further, delaying aging and increasing lifespan?
In Hakushi's view, this was sothing of imnse potential.
The reason Ruri and Ayane's bodies had remained at around eighteen or nineteen was because of his Immortal Technique, which delayed the deterioration of human bodily functions and could preserve youthful appearance.
For won, aging might be the greatest enemy.
But this kind of youthfulness actually had a ti limit; it was impossible to stack it indefinitely.
Ultimately, when it ca to the exploration of life, Hakushi had not yet reached a higher realm in his research.
His dical Ninjutsu could only reconnect severed limbs without Seals; if vital areas were damaged, death would still be unavoidable.
But now that he possessed Yin-Yang Style, it was different.
In Hakushi's view, Yin-Yang Style was precisely a Secret Technique for exploring life.
Creating sothing from nothing, creating life… if it could be combined with his Immortal Technique, immortality… in theory, was also feasible.
Of course, this was only in theory; the power of the Jutsu might reach that level, but the human body had limits.
Frankly speaking, if you stripped away Natural Energy and Chakra, the creatures of the Ninja Realm were actually extrely fragile.
In essence, humans were still borrowing external power to transform themselves, continuously piling up the burden of Jutsu, and sooner or later they would suffer backlash.
From Hakushi's perspective, this also followed the laws of nature.
Thinking of immortality, Hakushi thought of the Undead Kakuzu currently serving as a Debt Collector in the Shion Flower rchants Association.
The man was a Ninja leftover from the Warring States Era.
Of the Ninjas of his generation, Senju Hashirama was dead, and Uchiha Madara had barely clung to life, but he was already a withered old man—frail and sickly.
Yet the power of ti had not taken effect on Kakuzu.
Kakuzu's arth Grudge Fear could preserve the years by constantly replacing his heart with fresh ones.
But in Hakushi's view, this was still using so thod to hunt Life Force in order to maintain bodily functions.
Hakushi had studied Kakuzu's body; all of Kakuzu's Life Source resided on the tendrils of arth Grudge Fear.
You could say Kakuzu was no longer human; his case simply couldn't serve as a universal example.
arth Grudge Fear was likewise difficult to replicate.
Those who toy with Life Technique will, sooner or later, be bitten back by Life Technique… having used Spirit Transformation Jutsu to slice his own soul and create soul clones, Hakushi could be said to be one of the most rigorous explorers of Life Technique in the Ninja Realm.
Yin-Yang Style could not only strengthen his soul clones and amplify dical Ninjutsu; it was also a good dicine for Hakushi to expel the backlash of the Jutsu within his body.
There was no need to ntion the exploration of immortality for the ti being; Hakushi had conceived of it long ago. He was not yet thirty, far from the age to lant the fleeting of years.
"Yin-Yang Style is likewise a Jutsu constructed on the basis of Chakra. As expected, the direction of my initial conjecture was correct. I might as well give it a try… If it works, things will be even more interesting than I imagined."
