its rly hard to figure out and depends how much hide actually knew of what was going on. i doubt somehow he was able to convince arima to keep him alive verbally - thats wha imo the majority of the v14 fight was abt - kaneki proofing that he can one day surpass arima - candidate for the oek (from arimas point of view). at the same time i dont think hide approved of a role being made for kaneki (the oek) my current guess is that he led kaneki towards arima bc he has a reason to belive arima would keep him alive if hes strong enough (which would lead pretty much to the question you just asked) and to buy kaneki time, to get him somehow not killed.

sry that this doesnt answer your question probably - we just have too litlle information of hide to conclude anything at this moment tbh.
