From every angle, Akame joining the Akatsuki was a good thing with benefits and no drawbacks. The more Black Zetsu thought about it, the more he felt this really could work.
On top of that, Black Zetsu had witnessed Akame's battle with Shihōin Naraku firsthand. Even if Shihōin Naraku had not gone all out, not just anyone could last that long against him. That was enough.
After all, the Akatsuki generally operated in pairs when capturing tailed beasts. With the abilities Akame had displayed, completing those missions would hardly be a problem.
However...
"If I'm not mistaken, your student seems to possess Wood Release. You're actually going to let a ninja like her join the Akatsuki?"
Black Zetsu could not quite understand it. Given Konoha's attitude toward Wood Release, how could they possibly give up this girl?
Even with Shihōin Naraku's standing in Konoha, surely he could not pull that off.
Most importantly, with his discerning eye, Black Zetsu could tell that the Wood Release ninjutsu Akame possessed was on an entirely different level from Obito Uchiha's.
Even that Wood Release ninja in Konoha could not compare with Akame.
Black Zetsu was very curious about this. Ever since the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, had become the God of the Shinobi World, people had never stopped coveting Wood Release ninjutsu.

"You don't need to concern yourself with that," Naraku said in an indifferent tone. "Besides, no one in Konoha knows Akame has mastered Wood Release!"
To be precise, no one in Konoha even knew
