Name: Zetsu
Age: Unknown, mid twenties to early thirties.
Rank: S-class missing-nin
Affiliation: Akatsuki
Blood Type: B
Current Occupation: Spying and information gathering for the criminal organization Akatsuki, second in command to the leader of the organization, head of ring retrieval. NOT KNOWN TO BE A DEFINITE AKATSUKI MEMBER IN ANY VILLAGE FILES. HAS NOT OPENLY ATTACKED ANY BIJUU OR JINCHUURIKI. DOES NOT EXIST IN ANY OFFICIAL FILES OR DOCUMENTS.
Previous Occupation(s): Unknown, possibly Kusagakure.
Appearance: A tall and imposing ninja, Zetsu stands at about 5’8”. He’s rather thin, but still has significant muscular development, suggesting that though he may not be the best at taijustsu, he could hold his own with the average jounin or ANBU agent.
His hair is a spring green and rather short, it sticks up in untamable spikes on his head. His eyes are a bright piercing yellow that seems to glow weakly in the dark. This eerie aura is enhanced by the fact that his eyes are completely pupil-less. His teeth when visible are pointed and almost needle-like, unlike the serrated shark teeth of Kisame or the other swordsmen of the mist.
To continue with his odd physical appearance, Zetsu is in a symbiotic relationship with a very large and carnivorous Venus flytrap that has taken root on his shoulders. The root system extends beyond the skin to form a net of tendrils that has infiltrated his spinal cord and circulatory system to sap nutrition from the shinobi’s body. Zetsu is able to manipulate the growth at will.
His body is also two different colors, split down the middle. The right half of his body is black, and the left is white. This color split affects his entire body except for the Venus flytrap on his shoulders, which is a dark and glossy green.
Most of his body is covered up at all times by the Akatsuki uniform. A black cloak with red clouds outlined in white with a high collar. Zetsu turns down this collar so the growth on his shoulders isn’t constricted. He wears the traditional ninja zori in black and white legwarmers that go up to his shins before having dark pants tucked into them. He also wears nail polish in a dark green variant as specified by the Akatsuki code of conduct pertaining to the uniform standard. He is the bearer of the ‘gai’ or ‘boar’ position within the Akatsuki, he wears the ring on his right little finger.
Height: About 5 feet 8 inches from feet to head, about 6 feet 6 inches from feet to the top of the venus flytrap.
Weight: About 145 – 150 lbs
Eye Color: Bright yellow, pupil-less.
Personality:
He has two of them.
Man oh man, would Freud have a fucking field day with Zetsu…
His two personalities are personified as residing in the two different colored halves of his body.
The white side is dominant. The white side is generally a bit optimistic and relatively good-natured for a missing-nin, looking out for Tobi (to an extent) and keeping the orange masked ninja out of trouble and out of everyone else’s hair. The white side also has a relatively dark sense of humour, and enjoys toying with people that are under surveillance: dropping hints, discreetly moving objects, anything to subtly get on a high-level ninja’s nerves and make them paranoid beyond belief. The white side is generally more sensitive to the feelings of others, allowing it to play the game of subtle manipulation to reach its end goals.
However, this dependence on intuition means that it forgets important details or in rare instances can fly into a rage or be moved by pity or revulsion. Some have speculated that this is the ‘human’ side of Zetsu.
The black side is generally subordinate. The black side is pessimistic, and realistic. If it had an alignment, it would be chaotic neutral. The black side doesn’t care much for alliances and missions as much as entertainment. The black side follows orders only because it would be ‘fun’. With a cruel and sadistic sense of humour, the black side makes jokes at other people’s expense and seems to hate others in general. It only puts up with Tobi because the white side forces it to. The black side however also has a very keen power of observation and an almost photographic memory, often recalling details and conversations that the white side cannot.
However, this skill comes at the expense of normal emotions and social reactions. The black side is your typical psychopath who only wants to watch the world burn, and have a good time while doing so. Some have speculated that this is the ‘primal’ or ‘plant’ part of Zetsu.
Both personalities work in concert, speaking together, adding on to each other in conversation, and occasionally even finishing each other’s sentences or interrupting each other. They seem to be isolated from the rest of the human race, occasionally not understanding slang, cultural references, or even conventional morals.
They also have interesting eating habits. Zetsu is almost strictly carnivorous, forced to eat meat to quickly replenish the energy sapped from him by the Venus flytrap on his shoulders. In areas or situations where hunting is impractical, he turns to cannibalism, devouring the bodies of his fallen enemies or subordinates to replenish the vast amounts of energy lost.
History: Mostly unknown, Zetsu seemed to have joined the Akatsuki very early on in the organization’s history. He has been trusted with the knowledge of the true identities of both
Tobi and Pein.
Very little of his life before the Akatsuki is known due to the lack of any sort of paper trail bearing his name and description in any country. Some assume that the name ‘Zetsu’ is simply a moniker, or postulate that he’s a failed experiment of Orochimaru’s or a weapon created by some village that was kept completely secret. His memory (or mouth) seems to be locked shut on the topic. Only time will tell.
Clan: Unknown
Kekkei Genkai: Mayfly or Kagero
This kekkei genkai allows the user to merge their body with both nonliving and living structures to conceal themselves. Travel is much faster in this state, taking advantage of interconnected root and water systems of plants, faults and underground rivers and reservoirs in the earth, and structural cracks and flaws in stones, bricks and other forms of architecture. This kekkei genkai completely conceals the user, making him relatively impossible to detect, even by ANBU or Kage level ninja. It is generally used for high level spying and infiltration.
Allows the simultaneous usage and combination of Doton and Futon natures to create the Kouton, or Grass release.
Zetsu is the only known user of this Kekkei Genkai
Highest Letter-rank: S
Classification: S
Primary Element: Kouton (Plant or Grass release. Melds aspects of Doton/Earth and Futon/Wind natures)
Secondary Element: Doton (Earth release)
Fighting Style:
While he avoids fighting if possible (hence why most jutsus are completely unknown) he generally uses a combination of genjutsu and ninjutsu to confuse his opponent before either retreating and regrouping, or completely overwhelming. Zetsu will not stand out in the open waiting to be hit, Zetsu will appear beneath your feet and pull you underground and leave you stuck there while he stands above you, cuts your head off and laughs.
Let’s just say the epitome of sneaky and conniving here.
However he has also displayed a mastery of healing jutsu, using chakra to accelerate cellular regeneration or even the growth of plants.
Primary Weapons: He keeps several kunai and shuriken on his being, though rarely uses them due to the lack of valid combat situations. He prefers to use either his bare hands or ninjutsu.
Summons: None
Jutsu:
