White Zetsu

White Zetsu are creatures that feature in Naruto.

History

White Zetsu (Japanese: 白ゼツ, Hepburn: Shiro Zetsu) were a plant race that were created by Kaguya Otsutsuki on the Ninja World. They were originally humans who had fallen victim to Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi where they were bound by the roots of the God Tree. Over the course of years, these victims were transformed into a mutated form where all aspects of their former personalities were stripped from them. Their creation was to help stave off a future attack from members of Kaguya's own Ōtsutsuki Clan who were to come to the planet to steal its chakra for themselves. Despite her plans, her intended goal for the White Zetsu army never came to pass as she was reduced into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and was sealed within the moon by her sons with the Zetsu similarly trapped in the Gedoh Statue.

Black Zetsu came to use a White Zetsu as a host body when he joined the ranks of the Akatsuki.

Underneath the Mountains' Graveyard, one hundred thousand Zetsu were cultivated as part of an enemy that were to take part in the upcoming Fourth Shinob World War. Kabuto Yakushi after joining the Akatsuki was shown the White Zetsu army where he was amazed at the sheer number of them. Despite that, he felt that he could improve upon them through his scientific knowledge but to accomplish that he required the leaf shinobi Yamato. He was ultimately able to succeed in capturing the wood style user and used his cells to help improve the White Zetsu as the war was declared against the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Once Tobi finished his preparations for the Fourth Shinobi World War, he had the Zetsu army mobilise to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces' 80,000-person strong army. Because of the size of their forces, Tobi had the Zetsu travel below ground, to be led from above by himself to hide their numbers. This was discovered by Muta Aburame and is reported to the various commanders. The Second Division, led by Kitsuchi, as well as elements from the Fifth Division, unearth and attack a detachment of 20,000 White Zetsu Army soldiers travelling directly underneath them. While fighting the Allied Shinobi forces, they began to overwhelm them, allowing several thousand White Zetsu to pass through underground.

Though believed to had been annihilated, the Otsutsuki clan ruins beneath the Mountains' Graveyard contained a tree that birthed a handful of White Zetsu that lacked sufficient nutrients. Around 15 years later, Sasuke Uchiha who was investigating the Otsutsuki clan came upon the site and killed most of the White Zetsu though one of their number managed to survive. Team 7 were investigating the graveyard after mysterious activities reported in the area with Konohamaru leading the team into the ruins. Once there, they encountered a lone mutated White Zetsu with them being successful in eliminating the monster.

Overview

In appearance, the White Zetsu were albino mutated humans with odd features and a similar form share by their number. Originally, they were humans who fell victim to Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi and were bound by the roots of the God Tree. Over the course of years, these victims were morphed into their current forms, having their original personalities and individuality drained away. Despite seeming human, they no longer needed to carry out any normal human bodily functions as they did not require sleep nor to breath. Though they share many vital points as a normal human, they are incapable of bleeding in their natural forms. Due to their plant nature, members of the White Zetsu Army can merge into a more plant-like monster for better resistance against Yang-natured chakra.

The original batch of White Zetsu created by Kaguya, who each had a distinct appearance, demonstrated a degree of individuality and intelligence.

They had the ability to absorb chakra by simply establishing physical contact with their quarry.
