46 Plans
Kuro, Karin, and Shiori appeared at an abandoned temple in Uzushiogakure.
"The fire… continues to stir." Karin pointed to the cat's ears.
"It's because of the Zetsu's body." Kuro spoke before turning to Shiori, "You can disable fire detection and concentrate on trying to do it with your senses."
She nodded before closing her eyes and stopping the stirring of the fire a moment later.
"So… what happened?" Karin looked at Kuro "What was that white thing?"
"Oh! I know!" Shiori jumped up and landed on Karin's head. "Grandma told me about them once! Hehe~ so listen well, young lady!"
As Shiori told her a fairly short story of the origin of the White Zetsu, Kuro looked at his status.

The System assimilated everything that he had previously in his body and added the characteristics of the new one.
In addition to vitality, Kuro obtained the Yang element that he needed, however, his body is still not as complete as he wants.
"So why did you have to use Natural Energy to get him out of Kuro's body?"
Shiori thought deeply. "Well… The Shinju also absorbs Natural Energy from the planet when it is growing and since the White Zetsu come from it, they are sensitive to that energy. Yes, it was something like that." She nodded her head.
Karin rubbed her chin and looked at Kuro, "So, Kuro also shares the characteristics of the White Zetsu?"
Shiori rubbed her head with her paw and looked at Kuro as well.
He denied with his head. "I certainly have more sensitivity to Natural Energy now, however, it is not as extreme as they are. As for the stealth, transformation and movement abilities that the Zetsu have, I do not have. Those things they have thanks to their connection with the original White Zetsu and that connection was lost when I took possession of the body. "
"So what things did you get?" Karin cocked her head and asked.
Kuro sat on some rubble and looked at her. "Vitality, an immense regenerative ability and a few other things. However, there is a fatal flaw in this body, although I already have a solution for that."
Karin sat next to him along with Shiori. "What flaw?"
"As Shiori explained to you, White Zetsu's abilities are primarily supportive. Transforming into someone and mimicking their chakra signature, communicating long distances with his clones, moving extremely fast by merging with the ground, among other things. However, these things make his power very low, as well as the speed at which he gains strength and how powerful he can become individually. " Kuro looked at Karin, "To be more specific, their strength has a limit and they are very slow to reach that limit. Otherwise, by now, they would be incredibly powerful."
'And even if such a limitation can be countered by the System to some extent, it is still not ideal.' Kuro thought before Karin spoke, "So what will your solution be?" She looked at him.
Kuro patted Shiori's head. "In the Village of Sound there is someone who has a Kekkei Genkai that allows the user to break down their body at the molecular level. I will use it to fuse this body with mine."
Karin was shocked, "Is there such an ability?"
He nodded. "It belongs to two brothers named Sakon and Ukon. They attacked Konoha alongside Orochimaru, but I didn't get a chance to get his DNA."
"I see…" She nodded and looked at him, "So, did you change your body to match your appearance?"
He nodded, "Among a few other minor things."
Among those "minor" things was the System, since Kuro hopes that the fusion can be perfect with its intervention, just as it did with the change of body.
However, fusion and change are different things, therefore, Kuro changed his body in the cave so that the Zetsu Clone has the highest level of resemblance to him, since he did not know if the System would consider the Zetsu's body as something external and unknown, disabling the merge.
Now the body of the Clone shares everything with Kuro's body, including the System. What should make the System classify it as equal, or of such similarity, that it merits its intervention in the process.
Without its intervention, Kuro does not trust the bodies to come together seamlessly, which could cause the more powerful body to consume the other, but with extremely reduced benefits.
On the other hand, if the System intervenes, Kuro could have a body with the vitality, regeneration and longevity of the White Zetsu, as well as the potential and adaptability of the human body.
And because of the connection between the Zetsu Clones, they would know his location, so he had to remove the spores and change bodies before they discovered something very important.
Still, the spores were put on Kuro after he killed Danzo and before he left the Village, so they were spying on him for a week or so.
And he only used the Flying Thunder God and didn't have time to tell Karin many things, so his information should be very limited.
'However, the speculations that they can draw based on that minimal amount of information could be a bit problematic.' Kuro thought before telling Karin what they would do.

"So… it's quite possible that he's the one who murdered Danzo, right?" A masked man asked Zetsu.
"It is very possible, although I would not confirm it yet." He looked at the masked man, "What are you going to do?"
He looked back at him. "Can you locate him?"
Zetsu shook his head and White spoke, "My clones haven't seen him, so it's possible he's somewhere remote or has some way of avoiding me."
"Pay attention at all times in case he appears." He stand up.
Black Zetsu looked at him, "What will you do?"
"I'll go talk to Nagato. If he's likely killed Danzo, he's just as likely to have "His " eye. Also, if he knows about the White Zetsu, he might know a few other things." A spiral distortion appeared and the man was dragged inside.

*Crackle!* A lantern with fire illuminated a cavern of considerable size.
Around this lamp there were seven projections to which only the eyes could be distinguished.
"Does anyone know why they called us so soon? It was like a week ago that we met, right?" The projection with the blue eyes spoke first.
"There is no need to be impatient, Deidara-chan; Haha ~!"
Deidara growled, "Hidan, I already told you! You better stop using that ridiculous honorific!"
"Haha…" The small-eyed projection chuckled, "Calm down, will you? The leader is not usually late, so he should be here soon. We will know what happens at that time. "
**Bzz!** Right after Kisame finished speaking, two more projections appeared around the lamp.
The wavy-eyed projection looked at the others. "It's good everyone is here. I called to inform you about a certain individual that you should be aware of."
