One could argue what I state is only in a singularity, but I believe there is a bigger picture.
For one, the hooded Akatsuki man sent Shin to "test Sasuke Uchiha". He says it himself "You're impressions on Uchiha Sasuke?" and Shin replies "He is powerful ...Incredibly...Powerful"
> Let's be honest in the ninja world. I wonder if people realize just how powerful the name Sasuke is (without including anyone else right now).
Killed Orochimaru a Sannin at 16
Killed Itachi who massacred the Uchiha clan alone
Killed Deidara who is an Akatsuki Member
Attacked the Kage(s) at the GoKage summit and survived
Killed Danzo who was the upcoming Hokage
Fought the Juubi, and Juubi Jin Obito in the War
Fought Madara in the War
Fought Kaguya in the war (Not sure if they know this though, I'm assuming no, but I want to list it before some fapper gets on me)

These are literally what regular people know about Sasuke, even if it is not true. We as the readers know the truth, but that does not really mean normal shinobi, and people do too.
Taking into this account, you would not really need to test out his "power" or "skill" in battle. Which leads me to believe that Shin Uchiha, obviously knows nothing about the current world, nor its past events. Obviously making him "new" into this world, naive to its secrets, and knows nothing aside from what his master tells him. Funny enough I wanted to find out what Shin actually meant, and this is what I found out:
Take that for what you will, some of those words I found interesting. Next, is the hooded figure. Some may argue that he is the leader of his organization, but I beg to differ. Anyone who would send a weak test subject to actually fight Sasuke is actually not quite right in the head either. Which means that the hooded figure is probably on the same level as Shin, but slightly better. It wouldn't make much sense for him to be this slowly, hidden threat, and for him to not have knowledge on this world and the past. If so, he would have realized that Sasuke is indeed one of the strongest people in this world, and I'm sure it is no secret that Sasuke has the Rinnegan. He really did not keep it hidden in Chapter 699.
My personal theory:
Hope you enjoyed the thread.

Shin can be written using different kanji characters and can mean:
真, "true"
伸, "extend"
新, "new"
心, "heart"
信, "belief"
進, "progress"
慎, "humility"
晋, "advance"
紳, "gentleman

My personal theory:
Someone created these two, and possibly more, which is why Shin says "summoned the entire cast" and leaked information onto them. So maybe if this figurehead is Shisui, the real leader is someone who is pulling the strings from behind. Similar to how Obito was actually controlling the Akatsuki, and Madara was controlling him.
Who is behind this? None other than Orochimaru. Before I state why this is so, Kishimoto made an interview, where he stated that Sarada was the MC of the Gaiden and that Boruto was the MC of his movie, and towards the end of the interview someone asked him who was the final villain. He did not say anything, but he played the Orochimaru OST. Hinting what has been said for a while, or at least circulating. Now back onto my theory -
Orochimaru possibly may have found Shisui and revived his body somehow (Or experimenting garbage plot blah blah), leaked information or twisted information about Sasuke, Itachi, and the Uchiha massacre. Now these people are being lead on this false understanding of what isn't true, which is why they attacked Sasuke, and which is why they are going after his daughter (for what-ever reason it is connected to Sasuke which is why he clearly stated bring "HIS" daughter, so it has nothing to do with her presently).
Now you may be asking why would Orochimaru do this? You see there are ulterior motives to everything, and Orochimaru is a character of mystery. We know little to nothing about him, but his obsession with the Uchiha and Sharingan is a canon fact. Whether he is testing his test subjects to gain data, or for pure pleasure, it does not really matter. He was never a good character to begin with (not saying he was born evil though).
Which directly correlates with the original Akatsuki, in how Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato believed it was created in an effort to fight against the tyranny and oppression that their home village Amegakure ... But in truth they were being manipulated early on, especially Nagato whom Madara implanted the Rinnegan when he was a child. Not going to mention the future details in how they were used to bring the full worth of the Akatsuki through the death of Yahiko and the awakening of "Pain".
Now to end this theory, one of the people who caught my eye so far is Mitsuki. I don't really like the guy for a few reasons:
I. He was stated by Sarada or ChouChou to have recently joined the village, from a place they did not mention. Then afterwards he quickly befriends Boruto and follows him like his lab dog. Before you correct me on my usage of that word, it is clearly how I see it -- Boruto seems to be the leader in their relationship.
Boruto: Hmph ... Mitsuki, let's go...
Then we have the fact that Mitsuki, a new addition to the Konoha population, seems to have knowledge on clan(s) of the Leaf Village. Noting both Chou CHou was an Akamichi, and Sarada who wears the Uchiha crest. It is not that strange for me, or anyone to believe that there is not a good feeling when you have his presence in the chapter/panel. His dialogue, what he knows, and who he picks as friends seems to be intentional. Everything Kishimoto is doing he is letting it out there, you just have to be open minded to see it. Kishimoto is the master of parallels, but he is also the master at tricking the readers too.
You might also state that "Why would Kishimoto just repeat the same thing" -- Well what is new about the Gaiden series thus far? If Kishimoto wanted to breath life into this manga, and give it a new air about it, he would have never introduced the same conflicts, same Uchiha type villains, and there are more to come I'm sure of it.
