^I think Uta is just pretty neutral for Kaneki. He is a part of the clown gang meaning he has to mind his own business with them but he has a nice personality, look at Aytato when he was hanging out with Aogiri but he isn't some evil guy - he is just doing what he thinks is best.

A lot of Uta's advice for Kaneki has double meanings, for example when Kaneki came to meet him and asked about Yomo, Uta said that Kaneki was wandering around dangerously and everyone couldn't take their eyes off him, some were hoping to help Kaneki (like Touka) and some were hoping for him to stumble ( I think he is referring to Roma who wanted tragedy). So the best he could do was to give Kaneki some useful advice, telling him to listen to both sides and understand them. I think Uta grew some soft spot for the guy along with time but his position couldn't let him outwardly do anything. We can also see the similar pattern here, Yomo really cares for Kaneki but he tries to stay away from Kaneki and lets the guy mature by himself, remember when Yomo stopped Itori from saying anything about Souta? Even up until now, we don't know why Yomo was in Kanou's lab to rescue Rize and why he doesn't actively help Kaneki. It's a strained position for Uta, which is in between the Clown group (mostly Roma's decision) and Kaneki.

I'm just more interesting in what Uta said in chapter 143, Uta said he didn't want anymore tragedy to happen and the "fun" may start. I think the "fun" here is the "legend" which was mentioned in chapter 1 of Re and Uta may somehow be involved in that.
