Notable Attacks and Techniques:
* This is an infiltration technique, which is a signature characteristic of White Zetsu and its clone siblings, due to being infused with the cells of Hashirama Senju. It allows him to merge his body with the ground and flora and travel at very high speeds. His insectivorous plant-like shell has the ability to merge with the ground, because it is tinged with his chakra. Then, using the underground network of organic matter, consisting of things like plant roots and water veins, he can travel everywhere with high speed. Using this technique he can conceal himself in such things as trees and even sand. Once merged, his presence is completely concealed, making it impossible to detect him, even for sensory type ninja.
*Body Coating: This is a unique ability possessed by Black Zetsu, which allows it to take advantage of its malleable body to coat itself over a target. This technique is mainly used to restrict the movement of the target by coating a target's body, and forcibly make them do its bidding by directly channeling its will through them. In possession of the target's body, Black Zetsu is also able to use target's techniques, kekkei genkai, as well as any other ability they may possess. By using this technique Black Zetsu is capable of performing a variety of feats including controlling the target, and even stabilizing their life-force allowing them to live following a mortally-taxing event.
*Event Recording: This is an unnamed ability possessed by Black Zetsu that allows it to record events that it has personally witnessed.
