Revealing this sooner could have made a smoother transition to discussing the Otsutsuki people. Zetsu's purpose in the story becomes muddled toward the end. He either serves Madara completely or betrays him to serve Kaguya, even stealing the position as the Sage of Six Paths for a time. However, he doesn't do anything unique that makes him stand out in the story. Having him execute a plan that was his own, or something that kept him separate from Madara or Obito would have made him more memorable.
Constantly copying other villains only to be overwritten a chapter or two later makes him seem more like filler than a unique character. It would have been fun and interesting to see him use more of that incredible power throughout the story. Seeing Zetsu use similar moves would have made his character more interesting and given his status as a clone—or a new creation as a human mutated by the Hokage's DNA—more presence in the series.
Zetsu was originally a human who was captured within the God Tree by Princess Kaguya and then mutated by Madara's experimentation using Hashirama's DNA to recreate the tree. His perspective could have been used to expand on the lore of the Naruto mythos from a time before the warring states period, giving fans a glimpse of the reign of Princess Kaguya and the arrival of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Zetsu's status as a prehistoric human makes him one of the most unique characters in the series and leaves so much room for development. Zetsu spends the majority of the story watching and waiting in the background of important moments and reporting back to Madara. While this does make him mysterious initially, having it not amount to anything in the end can make a character forgettable. Nothing Zetsu does ever changes the dynamics of the story. If his action were to have lasting effects on the story and characters, he would have been more significant in the end.
Giving him his own iconic fights and moments would have brought more substance to the character. Black Zetsu appears to have only retained one eye after being placed within White Zetsu by Madara, though it regained the second eye upon Kaguya's revival. Black Zetsu's eyes and consciousness can move to any point of the black mass, even if it is split into multiple parts. After it merged with the deformed right half of White Zetsu, the two Zetsu were easily distinguished by the Venus flytrap-like extensions that emerged from their sides, enveloping their head and upper body as a shell, which they were able to open and close.
Beneath these extensions, Black Zetsu had short green hair, originally coming from White Zetsu. Under their Akatsuki cloak, they wore blue pants and sandals, and had both legs wrapped in bandages, which hid the area where the black mass on their right leg merged with White Zetsu's white foot. White, screw-like dots protruded out along the edges and collar of Black Zetsu. When the two halves separate, their plant-like extensions would separate and hang from the waists of both.
Any clothing they were wearing, including their Akatsuki mantle, would split along with them, usually causing them to discard their torn clothing altogether.
When either of the halves emerged from the ground while split, their plant-like extensions would surround them in a circular formation. The two also demonstrated the ability to grow an additional leg from their white body mass to substitute for their missing half when separated.
He has been secretly manipulating everyone behind the scenes, being responsible for the creation of the Uchiha and Senju clans, manipulating them into war in order to accomplish his ultimate goal of bringing back Kaguya by unleashing the Infinite Tsukyomi. Until Black Zetsu and Kaguya were both defeated and permanently sealed by Team 7.
Zetsu is easily distinguished by two large Venus flytrap-like extensions that envelop his head and upper body, giving him a plant-like appearance. Zetsu also has unusually rounded teeth. He has a red nail polish for his fingers his toenails, seen at his debut, are bluer and wears his ring on the right little finger.
In the manga, Zetsu does not have fingernails. When his extensions are open and his head is visible, it is revealed that Zetsu has short green hair, yellow eyes, and that his body has two different colored halves: The left side is completely white and the right side mostly black, the hand and feet white, with almost no facial features.
When he splits into two the plant like extensions go down the waist and now have the appearance of spikes, each halve has half of the Akatsuki robe and the halve they are missing is replaced with new body mass. Unlike the white side, which shows a normal mouth, a normal nose, and a normal eye, the black side shows no visible orifices at all and only shows the iris of the eye. The black side also has white dots along the edges; these are not flat markings, but rather protrude from his body, like little white bumps.
The dots disappear shortly before Zetsu splits. Black Zetsu is actually a whole being, but keeps his other half hidden. He is also capable of turning into liquid and forming a wide empty grin with a stitch-pattern echoing sharp teeth. Compared to White Zetsu, Black Zetsu was shown to be more intelligent and took his position as a spy seriously.
While White Zetsu spoke a high-pitched tone, Black Zetsu often spoke in a deep, growling tone in order to capture his serious nature. He initially portrayed himself to be very loyal to those around him, including Madara and Obito.
In reality, however, he proved himself to be a master at manipulating others, as it was revealed that he was the one responsible for the majority of the events that have happened and that his loyalty remained solely towards Kaguya.
Due to his manipulative nature, he does not value others. He has used everyone as his pawns, as means of bringing back Kaguya to the world. He even went as far as to say that the shinobi world exists solely for the purpose of Kaguya's inevitable return. Black Zetsu was originally conceived from Kaguya's final will before she was assimilated by the Ten-Tailed Beast and sealed into the moon.
Black Zetsu persuaded Indra to wage war against his brother Ashura, a feud that would span over a thousand years. Black Zetsu patiently watched over Indra's descendants, now known as the Uchiha clan, in the hopes that one of them would awaken the Rinnegan, which would provide the means for reviving Kaguya. When Madara Uchiha was fatally wounded in his battle with Hashirama Senju, Black Zetsu revived him while hiding in his body, allowing Madara to plot their revenge.
White Zetsu was originally still-living remains of one of the many victims of the Ten-Tailed Beast. He was hypnotized and absorbed into the beast's tree-form until he eventually became a plant-human hybrid. Unlike his developing siblings, Zetsu was only semi-formed and yet his intelligence gathering was vital. This explained why when Sakura performed autopsy on one of them, their DNA greatly match Hashirama's.
In time, he and another deformed White Zetsu became friends with Obito Uchiha as he was rehabilitating. Eventually, when Madara was near death after teaching Obito everything he knew, the man grafted Black Zetsu onto White Zetsu to aid Obito in completing his life-long plan.
Now a complete being, with two personalities, Zetsu became Obito's right hand while playing the role of his master's subordinate when he first dons the Tobi alias. Zetsu appears frequently, usually to serve his various Akatsuki duties, observe battles of interest to report the outcomes, and devour the corpses of dead associates and Akatsuki members.
After Sasori 's death, Zetsu was to eat his corpse and the presumed dead Deidara 's, Zetsu is accompanied by Tobi to find the deceased member's ring.
Though Zetsu is displeased to find Sasori being a puppet and though inedible, he was a bit conflicted when Tobi decides to become an official member to fill the vacant spot Sasori left.
Zetsu also witnessed Sasuke's fight with Itachi Uchiha , noticing the change in the latter's fighting style before leaving to tell Tobi of fight's result. After Sasuke's recruitment, and the number of pawns within the Akatsuki dwindling, Zetsu took a more active role in Taka.
However, unknown to Taka, Zetsu's mission was to expose them to the Kage to cause a situation that Tobi hoped would resulted with the Kage defeated so he would hold them ransom to get Naruto and Killer B.
When the plan failed, helping Sasuke during his fight with Naruto, Tobi orders White Zetsu to fall back and rejoin Black Zetsu to aid Kisame Hoshigaki in his plan to infiltrate Kumogakure.
