Okay.
Naruto tapped Haku 002 on the head.
"Don't make that kind of noise."
"But...but...ah~!"
[Little White 002 groaned.]
Immediately afterwards, the fleshy part on its back began to wriggle.
[Like spores.]
[Flesh and blood begin to grow.]
[The Art of Spores.]
[Split. ]
[clone...]
Naruto sensed the changes within White Zetsu 002's body.
[Somewhat surprised.]
[Because it is absolutely impossible for any other copy of White Zetsu 001 to be copied again.]
As expected.
[A White Zetsu created and replicated by personally infusing chakra possesses individuality.]
However, in the early stages, it behaved exactly like the cloned parent organism.
[Over time, a second personality will awaken on its own.]
Ultimately, they become truly independent individuals.
Naruto frowned.
[I don't quite understand some of it; where are the points of variation?]
[Extremely pure Yang Release chakra?]
[No...]
Naruto sensed that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
[Thus, while Little White Zetsu 002 groaned, it slowly began to replicate and create a new copy of White Zetsu 002.]
Naruto walked up to White Zetsu 001.
How could he not see it?
[Xiaobai 002 is just playing around.]
Let's just copy Xiaobai 001.
Extend your hand.
[Gently press down on Little White 001's forehead.]
[Little White 001 began to tremble all over.]
[Muttering to himself/herself.]
Naruto: "..."
Seriously... this is ridiculous.
Madara Uchiha probably faced a similar situation before, right?
If he could endure it, and still produce so many, then so can I.
In an instant.
Naruto adjusted his mindset.
[His expression has returned to normal.]
Uchiha Madara: ...
Madara Uchiha: No, I didn't.
Madara Uchiha: The whole process was very quiet.
Madara Uchiha: Moreover, it was created by using the Gedo Mazo to create White Zetsu.
Madara Uchiha: The White Zetsu's true form is also normal, and it also has the help of Black Zetsu.
Madara Uchiha: If the White Zetsu I created back then were like this, I wouldn't have kept a single one.
Somewhere in the ninja world.
Black Zetsu smiled contemptuously after hearing Madara Uchiha's words.
That Uchiha Madara is really pitiful.
He still thinks he created the White Zetsu himself?
Sure enough, he was just as easy to fool as Indra.
...
[A moment later.]
Naruto looked at the two White Zetsu, one on each side, holding his feet.
[Then they were all kicked away by White Zetsu 002.]
He shook his head helplessly.
[Let the Wood Clone take over the task of observing the daily changes.]
He was feeling a little tired.
None of these White Zetsu are normal.
"Naruto-sama, I've infiltrated the enemy ranks!"
"He even recruited a few henchmen!"
"But they still don't dare to see you."
"Of course, Naruto-sama, please rest assured, there's absolutely no way we'll leak it!"
[White Zetsu 002 spoke with a confident expression.]
Naruto nodded.
So be it.
However, these White Zetsu were acting somewhat strangely towards me.
But it's still quite reliable.
[I will definitely complete any task assigned to me.]
Where are they?
[Naruto asked.]
[White Zetsu 002 suddenly scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.]
"I've put them to guard the other one."
[Um? ]
[The guard, another one?]
[Naruto's gaze was scrutinizing.]
White Zetsu 002 blinked.
"Naruto-sama, there's still something unexpected... I didn't expect that one of the White Zetsu wouldn't want to become my subordinate."
"Dare to betray us... so I tied it up!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
[Little White 001's face was full of anger.]
[What! ]
How dare you violate the unique characteristics of this entity?!
It's loose!
No tying up!
Why aren't you saying anything?
[Because its mouth has been stuffed with a rag by Little White 002.]
"Take me to see it."
The White Zetsu experiments can't be rushed.
[It takes time to observe carefully.]
Infiltrating the enemy's ranks, however, can be done more quickly.
After all, this is a perfect opportunity to raid someone's home.
[Even the old man, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has been sidelined and reduced to a figurehead without any real power.]
There is precedent for this.
Naruto was somewhat looking forward to seeing Obito and Madara Uchiha in the future, hoping that the White Zetsu beside them would suddenly deliver a brutal blow.
That's going to be interesting.
These newbies look harmless.
But Naruto knew that, in reality, if they had put more effort into training him... just like when they created White Zetsu 001.
[A product created by continuously fusing several White Zetsu.]
[This allows the strength of White Zetsu to be continuously increased.]
[This was combined with his extremely refined Yang Release chakra.]
[The final product...]
Naruto subconsciously glanced around at the group of kids still fighting over his shoes.
[If we were to fuse them all back into the original body of Little White 001.]
It seems that Little White 001 is about to mutate again.
However, since the research is not yet complete, Naruto is not in a hurry to conduct this final experiment.
"Take me to see it."
"You did a good job."
"After infiltrating the enemy ranks, recruit as many followers as possible."
"Also, investigate the location of their main bodies, and... is Madara Uchiha still alive?"
Upon hearing this, Little White 002's eyes lit up.
"Received!"
"Little White 002 guarantees mission completion!"
"Naruto-sama, please."
[He made two shouts.]
[Little White 002 immediately scurried ahead to lead the way.]
Naruto smiled helplessly.
"How did you manage to bribe them?"
"Teach them to feel the urge to defecate... and also, use a tiny bit of the chakra that you, Naruto-sama, passed down to them~" Shiro 002 blinked.
[His face was completely innocent.]
Naruto frowned.
"My chakra?"
["Why?"]
[Gurgle—]
[The words had barely left his mouth.]
[Then White Zetsu 002 made a swallowing motion.]
"Naruto-sama's chakra...smells so good!"
"One bite... feels even better than the urge to poop!"
[Um? ]
[Eat, chakra?]
Is it the pure Yang Release chakra that created them?
No, it must be because of the immortal body, right?
Or perhaps...
Naruto watched as Haku 002's butt kept wiggling back and forth.
He had a premonition that if he used chakra to bombard these newbies...
[It's estimated that this will directly trigger the Wood Release chakra hidden within them.]
Then, these little white creatures will turn into a tree.
[Tree? ]
Naruto has found the key point.
The components within a White Zetsu's body are very complex.
[It even contains the power of the Uchiha bloodline.]
["etc!"]
"Could it be... that these White Zetsu were created using the cells of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju?"
