Ch. 302Nagato's Surprise
Uchiha Yuzhen asked Nagato to lead Akatsuki in eliminating the daimyo and nobles while Yuzhen united the ninja villages. Nagato agreed that nobles were unnecessary but demanded a workable plan to protect civilians, and Yuzhen promised to draw up regulations after becoming Hokage.
- Uchiha Yuzhen told Nagato he planned to become Hokage, unify the Ninja World, and have Akatsuki wipe out the daimyo and nobles.
- Nagato questioned who would govern ordinary people if the nobles were eliminated.
- Uchiha Yuzhen argued that literate ninjas could govern and asked Nagato what nobles did better than them.
- Nagato reflected on his own rule of Amegakure and concluded that ninjas could manage civilians, but warned that administrative chaos would endanger ordinary people.
- Uchiha Yuzhen promised to gather like-minded companions and devise specific regulations after returning and becoming Hokage.
