Naruto: We are invincible

"Ever since the invasion of Kumogakure, we have been looking for a way to quickly eliminate White Zetsu."

"That's a good idea!" Naruto's eyes lit up, "Madara's army is almost entirely made up of White Zetsu. If we can develop a poison specifically targeting White Zetsu, we can instantly destroy his combat effectiveness!"

"That being said, there are many problems in actual operation." Hinata said, sitting down in a chair next to her and turning on the computer and some instruments.

Naruto leaned over curiously and looked at the complicated symbols and diagrams displayed on the screen, confused.

"We study White Zetsu every day. I have to say, this thing itself is a work of art." Hinata pointed to the diagram of White Zetsu's body structure displayed on the screen and said, "They are essentially clones of the first Hokage, but their DNA is slightly different because they are not real humans..."

"They have almost perfectly inherited the advantages of the first Hokage. They possess strong vitality and recovery abilities. They can also blend in with nature and easily sneak into any environment. Even perception-type ninjas like you and Tobirama find it difficult to detect them..." Hinata explained while pointing to several charts.

Naruto nodded in understanding.

"Moreover, they can also use Wood Release. Although their power is much weaker than that of the First Hokage, they are still tough enough..." Hinata said with lingering fear.

"I thought White Zetsu was just cannon fodder..." Naruto couldn't help but complain. It seemed that White Zetsu was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"The invasion of Kumogakure sounded the alarm for us." Hinata nodded in agreement, "The White Snakes are not human. They don't need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate like us. They don't even need oxygen. They only need to absorb natural energy to survive, so they are never tired..." At this point, Hinata's tone became a little heavy.

She stood up and walked Naruto to another table.

"Moreover, their bodies are very strong, and ordinary attacks are completely ineffective against them. If you want to kill them completely, you can only chop off their heads or blow them into pieces..."

"So what about their attack power?" Naruto asked, looking back at the White Zetsu floating in the glass jar.

"Except for Wood Release, their attack power is not strong. The only troublesome thing is that they can absorb chakra..."

"Like my Rinnegan?"

"That's not the case." Hinata shook her head, "They can't absorb ninjutsu attacks, but if you accidentally get close to them, a lot of chakra will be sucked away..."

Naruto listened carefully, taking all these details into his mind.

"Then what do you need me to do?"

"I need the help of your Rinnegan to help me ripen some samples and then test the newly developed virus." Hinata said, pointing to several test tubes stored in the refrigerator.

The tubes all look the same, except they are labeled with different strains.

"Z virus?" Naruto noticed the name on the label and wanted to laugh.

"Z stands for White Zetsu. Even though the name isn't very creative, it's pretty fitting," Hinata explained with a smile.

Naruto shook his head and walked over to the jar, placing a hand on the glass.

The White Zetsu in the glass jar suddenly began to shake, and its body twisted into a strange posture: the legs moved downwards and the head stayed at the top.

The fragments of White Zetsu's body squirmed in the glass jar, and suddenly, tiny white tentacles emerged from its head and connected the broken parts.

Naruto removed his hand, and White Zetsu's yellow eyes suddenly opened. It banged against the glass jar frantically, trying to rush out, but the reinforced glass did not move at all.

"These glass jars are very sturdy, don't worry about it leaking out." Hinata said, activating the drainage system to empty the liquid in the glass jars.

She returned to the computer and started working.

"Warning...Warning...Z-Virus Protocol activated...Release of Type B virus strain..."

The White Zetsu in the glass jar didn't change at all and was still hitting the glass frantically.

Suddenly, it stopped and began to twitch in pain, with blisters appearing on its skin.

It rolled around in the glass jar in pain, and finally fell down helplessly.

Hinata stared intently at the changes in data on the computer screen.

After a while, all the blisters on White Zetsu's body disappeared, it opened its eyes again, regained its ability to move, and continued to hit the glass frantically.

"Type B virus strain test... failed." The system prompt sounded.

"Ah..." Hinata sighed, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy to succeed, alas..."

"Do you know what makes White Zetsu listen to Madara so much?" Naruto asked curiously.

"What are you planning?" Hinata looked at Naruto and saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"I was thinking...it would be great if we could modify the White Zetsu and make them listen to us..." Naruto pointed at the glass jar and said, "Then we can form our own White Zetsu army to fight against Madara. Even if we fail, we can still create more..."

"I don't think it will work." Hinata shook her head. "We have just started our research on White Zetsu, and there are still many unknown areas. If we rashly create an army, what if it gets out of control?"

"You're right." Naruto nodded in agreement, "By the way, how many more White Zetsu samples do you need?"

"One is enough for now, wait until I finish this. Time is running out, we should get ready to leave for the Five Kage Summit." Hinata said, taking off her white coat.

"But, I don't think my grandma will let me go..." Naruto was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I've already talked to her and she agreed to give you another chance."

"Hinata-chan, you're so nice!" Naruto hugged Hinata excitedly and said happily, "Have I told you how much I love you today?"

"No." Hinata pouted in mock anger.
