They gave no explanation. He also sent his gang to steal something in the Konoha Bank, but they were stopped by Team 7. They're either gonna explain this in the next chapter, or Shojoji is just gonna get sidelined. If you ask me though, I think he's some sort of mercenary as he doesn't seem to have any type of ideal like your average Naruto villain.

Thank you, Mr. Grave! One more thing: do you think that Shojoji might be related to the group of robed people at the end of the chapter 15 manga??
