Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan stared blankly at the resolute Uchiha Jin.

At that moment, all three of them felt that Uchiha Jin's figure was incomparably tall, his entire body seeming to glow like a rising sun!

Uchiha Jin continued, "Perhaps you think I'm too radical, but that's because you don't know what kind of sights these eyes of mine have seen!"

"After witnessing this world's darkness, perhaps you'll become even more radical than I am!"

Uchiha Jin was not speaking without reason.

Putting Yahiko aside for the moment, Nagato had carried rice every day in the Original Plot!

Compared to Nagato, who wanted the entire world to carry rice together, Uchiha Jin considered himself one of the Moderates.

Yahiko remained silent, his eyes filled with confusion.

He no longer knew what he should do.

Nagato spoke up at that moment and asked, "Jin Big Brother, I have another question. Why must there be a unified stance before changing the system and liberating productivity?"

Uchiha Jin smiled at that. "That's a very good question! Let's first talk about changing the system!"

"If the Other Countries remained unchanged while we alone launched reforms in the Land of Fire, what do you think would happen?"

Nagato shook his head. He had asked precisely because he did not understand.

Uchiha Jin said with certainty, "I dare say that once the other countries discover the changes in the Land of Fire, they will definitely join forces to attack it!"

Nagato frowned and asked in confusion, "Why? If the Land of Fire's reforms prove effective, shouldn't the other countries follow its example?"

"You underestimate the evil in human nature!" Uchiha Jin shook his head. "Simply put, the Land of Fire's reforms would redistribute resources from the hands of a small number of people to the majority. That is something the current Vested Interests cannot accept!"

"That is why there will be bloodshed and sacrifice!"

"Even if such reforms allow most people in the Land of Fire to live good lives, it is precisely because of that that the Vested Interests of the other countries will feel afraid!"

"They will view the Land of Fire's reforms as an aberration, then use the resources in their hands to stir up Public Opinion, condemn the Land of Fire, and start a war!"

"It's like when a beam of light shines into a dark room. The filth and ugliness inside are exposed by that light, and so the light becomes guilty!"

"Breaking the old system will inevitably offend the Vested Interests of that old system. The two sides are naturally opposed to each other!"

"So, if you want to change the system, you must first unify your stance. That can prevent much needless bloodshed and sacrifice!"

The resistance encountered by launching reforms first and then unifying one's stance was definitely different from unifying one's stance first and then launching reforms!

In the latter case, those Vested Interests might still hold onto hope and would not resist to the death. But the former meant completely Falling Out and leaving no room for compromise, so those Vested Interests naturally would no longer harbor any wishful thoughts!

"I understand!" Nagato nodded, then asked, "What about liberating productivity?"

"That's even simpler!" Uchiha Jin smiled. "In essence, so-called liberating productivity means creating more resources!"

"If there isn't a unified stance, those additional resources will make people jealous!"

"Take the Land of Fire as an example again!"

"The Land of Fire is the most fertile among all the nations of the world and possesses the richest resources and produce."

"So as you can see, ever since the First Shinobi World War, it has always been the other countries that declared war on the Land of Fire first. They all wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from the Land of Fire!"

"That would only trigger even greater conflicts!"

"That is why I said that changing the system and liberating productivity require a unified stance!"

Nagato nodded, the doubts in his heart finally resolved.

After hesitating for a moment, Nagato slowly raised his head and looked at Uchiha Jin. "Jin Big Brother, do you have any concrete plans now?"

"Nagato?!"

Yahiko and Konan both looked at Nagato in astonishment.

For Nagato to say such a thing was no different from declaring that he wanted to join Uchiha Jin's side!

Neither Yahiko nor Konan had expected Nagato to make such a decision after merely one conversation!

Nagato looked at the two of them and said seriously, "Yahiko, Konan, Jin Big Brother's line of thinking is right!"

"Although the Akatsuki Organization's actions seem to have been quite effective and drawn many people to join us, we all know in our hearts that whether Konoha and Iwagakure cease fighting or withdraw their troops has nothing to do with us!"

"Konoha and Iwagakure will only act for their own interests. They will never care about what we think!"

"If we want to change this Current Situation, there is only unity! Only reform!"

"Only when we all stand on the same side will they listen to us!"

"Only by reforming the Existing System can everyone truly live a good life!"

Nagato was somewhat excited. He had found a way to break "this curse"!

Yahiko stared blankly at Nagato, his body trembling slightly.

In truth, Yahiko was also deeply moved by Uchiha Jin's words. However, as the Leader of the Akatsuki Organization, he had more to consider than Nagato!

At the end of the day, Yahiko had only just met Uchiha Jin and could not yet trust him completely!

Uchiha Jin smiled. "Actually, you don't need to make any decisions. We were just chatting casually today. I'll be staying in the Land of Rain for some time, so we can slowly get to know each other."

"And even if I leave the Land of Rain, it's no big deal. As long as we all work together, my doors will always be open to you!"

Yahiko and Konan both breathed sighs of relief, and their trust in Uchiha Jin grew by a few degrees.

Nagato did not press the matter any further.

Just as Uchiha Jin had said, he was in no rush.

Yahiko looked at Uchiha Jin and said sincerely, "Thank you, Jin Big Brother! Today's conversation has truly opened my eyes!"

Uchiha Jin shook his head and said with a smile, "We're simply learning from each other. Your ideas have also given me much to think about!"

After a pause, Uchiha Jin suddenly put away his smile and said seriously, "Now that we've discussed ideals, let's talk about something practical!"

Yahiko was taken aback. He then asked hesitantly, "Jin Big Brother, do you mean the matter of Shimura Danzō and Lord Hanzō?"

"I'll back you up in that matter. You'll be fine." Uchiha Jin first shook his head, then said, "What I want to discuss is another matter that concerns your lives!"

Yahiko's Trio exchanged glances, each seeing the confusion in the others' eyes.

Aside from Shimura Danzō and Hanzō the Salamander, someone else had set their sights on the Akatsuki Organization?

Uchiha Jin did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Has a Mysterious Man wearing a Vortex Mask come looking for you recently?"
