Naruto walked over to Black Zetsu and looked at him lying there with an utterly lifeless expression.
"Black Zetsu, how about we make a deal?"
Black Zetsu slowly came back to his senses. Looking at the smile in Naruto's eyes, his yellow eyes shifted.
"You want to make a deal with me? What do I even have left to trade with you?"
Naruto's smile widened.
"White Zetsu!"
White Zetsu were an extremely special existence.
They could be considered native species, but they could also be considered extraterrestrial lifeforms.
Most of the 100,000 White Zetsu in Black Zetsu's possession had been created by Kaguya Otsutsuki after she devoured the God Tree's fruit. Using the power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, she had specially altered ordinary people in the Naruto world and created them.
They could also be considered products of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will. In reality, they should only obey Black Zetsu's orders.
If he wanted to obtain the 100,000 White Zetsu in Black Zetsu's hands, he first had to deal with Black Zetsu himself.
Although most White Zetsu were relatively weak in combat and could only serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield, Black Zetsu usually used them mainly for reconnaissance.
After all, the three innate abilities White Zetsu possessed were simply too suited for scouting.
First was the Spore Technique. White Zetsu could release spores that attached themselves to ninja. Before they activated, no one could detect them.
In the original story, White Zetsu had used it during the Five Kage Summit. Before the spores matured, no one noticed them—not even Ao, who possessed the Byakugan.
Once activated, the spores would transform into White Zetsu-like growths that wrapped around the host, absorbed the host's Chakra, and could transfer that Chakra to replenish others.
That alone was already quite an incredible divine
