People are in Hokage, one person at a time

As Jiraiya's disciples, although Nagato and others may not know much about ninja knowledge, Jiraiya must have told the three little ones stories about the God of Ninja pacifying the troubled times.

This can be regarded as the origin of Akatsuki's original ideological program. After all, when the three little ones met Jiraiya, the biggest motivation for them to contact Jiraiya was that they wanted to survive in this chaotic world. After a period of training, and the fact that the three of them were relatively talented, their strength and means improved, so naturally they had more ideas.

Thus, the great ideal of saving the Rain Country took root in the hearts of the three. Although the three hated Konoha, one thing that could not be denied was that from the beginning to the end, Konoha's living conditions were the best in the entire ninja world.

So, from Jiraiya's story after story about the peace-loving God of Ninja, Yahiko, who was the backbone of the three people at the time, came to agree to a considerable extent with the idea that the God of Ninja advocated for mutual understanding among everyone.

But the result is predictable. Even though the Rain Country is just a small country, it is impossible to make fundamental changes without sufficient means and enough interests. Yahiko's idea is good, but without the drive of interests and purely for love, even if Hanzo does not take action, the Akatsuki organization will not be able to last long.

During war, everyone has a hard time, so it is possible to live in peace with you helping me and I helping you so that most people can get through the difficult times together. But if life gets better and you use my things to help other people, and then kick me back into that not-so-rich or even difficult living condition, then wouldn't the value of my efforts for so long be negated?

Yahiko's death at the hands of Hanzo was an inevitable result. Even in a world where numbers have no meaning for the strong, without the prince's strength that surpasses the level of Kage, nothing can be done to change the situation when there is no collusion.

But after Yahiko's death, Akatsuki entered the 2.0 era and things were different.

Yahiko chose a path that was impossible to take, so he paid the price with his life. In order to fulfill his best friend's impossible dream, considering Nagato's pitiful knowledge reserves, becoming the new Hashirama Senju or even surpassing Hashirama Senju became the only way.

Nagato’s idea is very simple. Since you all won’t listen to reason, I will roll up my sleeves and have a good talk about physics with you five major countries.

Once he had eliminated all the troublemakers and made everyone hate war, peace would naturally come with a god like him watching over the ninja world.

Back then, Hashirama Senju was not decisive enough, and even less ruthless. With the confidence of the God's Eye, Nagato felt that he could do better than Hashirama Senju. The only thing that worried Nagato was that using the power of the God's Eye would greatly consume his lifespan. At this time, Tiehuo came and gave Nagato a certain degree of guidance.

When Hashirama Senju distributed the tailed beasts to several other countries, it was to balance the power of all parties and make other villages cautious about war or the use of the tailed beasts.

But it is obvious that Hashirama Senju failed. The tailed beasts did not become a bridge to build peace in the village but instead became a tool to expand the war. All beings are equal in front of the tailed beast jade. In this case, why don't you collect all the tailed beasts, Nagato?

By the way, the Iron Fire brothers also brought up the story of the Six Paths Sage dividing the tailed beasts, which was not sure whether it was true or not. In any case, the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes was destined to make him do great things in the ninja world, and the Outer Path Demon Statue was the container that contained the chakra of the tailed beasts. The nine tailed beasts were captured to create an ultimate war weapon. Even if Nagato died in the future, as long as this thing was passed down, whoever got it would gain the power to subdue the entire ninja world, and that would be all.

For this reason, the Iron Fire brothers specifically pointed out that the Outer Path Statue can actually be used to maintain Nagato's life. As long as the Outer Path Statue recovers, relying on the endless supply of chakra, Nagato will not have to pay such a high price when using the Rinnegan, right?

Nagato was quite tempted. After all, the information provided by the Iron Fire brothers was so reasonable. In addition, as his understanding of the Rinnegan deepened, Nagato also discovered a new technique in the Rinnegan. If he could gather all nine tailed beasts and revive the Outer Path Statue, he could not only resurrect Yahiko, the real leader of the Akatsuki organization, but he could also restore himself to the most perfect state by letting others perform the Rinnegan technique.

Nagato couldn't help but tremble when he thought about the reunion of the three people. When he and Yahiko regained their youth, based on the relationship between him and Konan over the years, wouldn't it be obvious what choice Konan would make?

Yahiko was at most fifteen or sixteen years old when he was resurrected. By the time I finish the task of pacifying the ninja world, everyone will be at least thirty years old. Even if Konan likes Yahiko very much, she can't fall in love with a fifteen-year-old kid when she is Yahiko's mother, right?

Of course, it is too redundant to think about these things now, but with the gradual development of his own ideas, after gathering all the best players that can be gathered in the current ninja world, Nagato feels that the Akatsuki organization can no longer become stronger than it is now.

Instead of spending his life in mediocrity in this small place, he might as well do something big and spectacular. What Hashirama Senju can do, Uzumaki Nagato can do as well. Not only that, with so many experts who can bring pain to everyone gathered together, Uzumaki Nagato will only do better than Hashirama Senju!

"That's what we in Akatsuki are going to do."

He briefly summarized his ideas, and then told them to everyone after editing out some of them. The general idea was that our Akatsuki organization is now fully grown. We have money (referring to Kakuzu's savings) and people. Now all you have to do is collect the tailed beasts. I have a technique called the Nine Seals of the Phantom Dragon that can draw out the chakra of the tailed beasts and seal them in the Outer Path Demon Statues under your feet. At that time, Akatsuki will be able to conquer the entire ninja world with the power of the Outer Path Demon Statues, allowing Akatsuki to surpass the five major ninja villages and let them feel the pain brought by war. Then peace will come, won't it?

Different from the initial recruitment when he used physical means to make everyone recognize him as the leader, as an organization that is about to bring peace to the world, Nagato feels that at the moment of deciding the transformation of the organization, ideological identification can make these guys work harder.

So a not very passionate speech was born here. As for what the Akatsuki organization thought...
