Zetsu has also employed animals, demons, humans and technology coated with himself in his forces.
A Zero Tails and the Seven Tails under his control, Zetsu's army is fueled by the former and part of the latter's power. His forces also include an enhanced White Zetsu force, created from the Zero Tails negative chakra. Having many doppelgangers that can split easil, his forces have nearly become immeasurable. It is currently governed by the Allied Council. However the Shinobi Union also encompasses the samurai and remaining animal and demon nations. However not completely reformed, there are no army formations known yet. After getting a majority of them despite the fall of Konohagakure, the Shinobi Union was officially reborn. Kumogakure's Raikage approved the Head Ninja, his partner B for a mission to unite the other remaining strongholds against Zetsu once more.
While that plan did not work as many nations fell to them, all was not lost for the Shinobi survivors. With the fall of Hoshigakure to a "sudden" Zetsu outbreak, the Fifth Shinobi World War had technically begun.Īs of current standings, this war has three sides, each looking to best the other in pursuit of their own goals.Īfter the fall of the original SU, the other nations fell into disarray as they had to face the Zetsu problem mainly on their own. While members of the Shinobi Union began to investigate the underground and thus Gisō himself, they were too late to start the war's outbreak. Zetsu grew in power hidden in the underground, starting events such as Toneri's moon dropping, keeping the Shinobi Union busy and under the belief they had effectively defeated most conflict.Īfter bidding their time for more than three decades, Gisō found the perfect time to strike. While Naruto could sense negative emotions, there were many other conflicts that appeared and kept the true goals of Zetsu hidden from even the great hero. He also weakened other villages slowly, forced others to his side and more. Using the underground, Gisō, the new Black Zetsu in charge, contracted many criminals and terrorists to his side. Awakening his hundreds of dormant doppelgangers all over the globe and even on the moon itself shortly before being sealed alongside his mistress, another plot for the awakening of Kaguya came back into play, underneath the noses of the Shinobi Union. Zetsu had created many plans to make sure Kaguya had succeeded and even though Naruto and others had stopped his most obvious plan, he still had more tricks under his sleeve. A war that was in the works ever since the fall of Kaguya in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
