Zetsu Versus Sakura Battle Music:
:O
________________________________

The Conditions Of Battle:
Both are Fresh and fully rested
Intel: Basic Manga Knowledge
Location: Naruto and Kakashi versus Itachi
30 Meters Distance
Restrictions: None


These are the Scenarios of Battle that I will outline
  • Zetsu versus Sakura
  • Zetsu versus Katsuyu

Vocabulary:

Kagerō [Mayfly]
Kisei Bunshin [Parasite Clone]
Hōshi no Jutsu [Spore Technique]
Narikawari no Jutsu [Substitute Technique]
Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu [Wood Release: Cutting Technique]

----------------------------------------

How Zetsu would overcome Sakura in a 1v1 battle?

Zetsu versus Sakura

To start off, in order to keep distance from Sakura and himself, Zetsu would proceed to use his Mokuton which would envelope her leg just like it did to Naruto and pull her even further away [ ] while it's true that Sakura could destroy it easily with her Chakra Enhanced Strenght, she won't manage to react in time before it pulls her away just like Naruto didn't hence why he was alarmed. Let's not forget that Sakura's reaction feats aren't exactly good. [ -> ] Once he pulls Sakura away, he will proceed to use Kagerō in order to go underground and poke out somewhere away from Sakura in order to hide himself from her sight. [ ] He could simply appear somewhere far away from Sakura and he would be capable of knowing where she is since Zetsu is a sensor. [ ] Note Zetsu's sensing abilities would also come in handy when Sakura is about to use her Chakra Enhanced Strenght since he would be able to sense the Chakra around her fist. Anyways, with him being that far away from her, Zetsu will proceed to use the Shiro-Zetsu's Kisei Bunshin and send them out to face Sakura. [ ] Counting the number of the Kisei Bunshin, we could conclude that there are exactly six of them. Unfortunately for Sakura , she doesn't know this and Zetsu can use that to his advantage. All he has to do is split those six clones into two groups; three of them would be up on the ground facing Sakura while the other three would be underground by using Kagerō. The job of the ones that are up on the ground would simply be laying a finger on Sakura. In other words, touching her. That won't be so hard due to the fact that Zetsu is far from slow [ -> ][ ] and Sakura doesn't have good reaction feats. Once one of the clones manage to do that, he will return to the original Zetsu in order to give him Sakura's Chakra so that Zetsu could make his Kisei Bunshin transform into duplicates of Sakura.

Now what exactly would be the job of the underground Zetsu Kisei Bunshin? Well, they are there to pull off a sneak attack on Sakura. They would suddenly poke out from beneath or behind Sakura and use a Mokuton Sword [ ] in order to slice off her head or they could kill her with the Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu. [ ] There is no way that Sakura would expect this, however, some people may claim how she could simply punch the ground in order to reveal the Kisei Bunshins, but that won't happen since they could simply quickly travel to a new location with the usage of Kagerō. Now to return to the Bunshin that took Sakura's Chakra to the original Zetsu. Now Zetsu's new clones would be capable of transforming into Sakura [ ] and use her own techniques against her. Althought these clones would be weaker then the original they would still have this kind of strenght [ ][ ] and they will use their number in order to take down the original Sakura. Some people may doubt how these clones would be capable of using Sakura's own techniques, but as we have seen, the Zetsu clones that turned into a duplicate of someone could still use that person's own techniques as seen when the Kisei Bunshin was about to use Kisame's Daikodan technique [ ] and when an another Bunshin used Hinata's Byakugan. [ -> ] Now to go onto my main argument as to why I believe Zetsu would be the victor. If by some miracle, Sakura doesn't die by the Kisei Bunshins' surprise attacks, Zetsu would have no other choice, but to use the Hōshi no Jutsu. Some people would claim that he would need to place them on Sakura first, however, that is incorrect. We have seen that Zetsu was capable of placing the spores on the Kage and their bodyguards without even touching them [Ay was the only one who touched Zetsu]. [ ] He would do the same thing here without Sakura having no way of realizing that. [ ] On his command, the spores will suddenly increase and envelope Sakura [Restricting her movements]. [ ] Once that happens, the spores will start to quickly drain Sakura's Chakra until there is nothing left. Some could claim how she could use her Chakra Enhanced Strenght to free herself, but since she needs to envelope her fists with Chakra in order to obtain such strenght that won't be possible. The spores will simply suck up that Chakra just like they absorbed Mei's mist.

And it's not like she could move her arms while the spores would be restraining her anyways. Katsuyu can't help since the only was for Katsuyu to get rid of those spores from her would be using her acid, but that would melt and kill Sakura as well. With no way to free herself, Sakura will die.

Zetsu versus Katsuyu

I'll admit that Zetsu doesn't really have a way to kill Katsuyu besides trying to absorb all of her Chakra by constantly attaching spores to her, but that won't be needed here. All Zetsu has to do is outlast Katsuyu's Summoning time since we know that summonings have a time limit before they disappear. [ ] It won't be that much of a problem since Katsuyu can't get to him while he is using Kagerō and it doesn't even matter since the original Zetsu would be hiding himself somewhere away from Katsuyu. Some could say that Sakura could use Katsuyu to hide herself in her from Zetsu, but that won't be a good move since Katsuyu is a slow slug so Zetsu could simply use the Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu Trees to pierce the whole Katsuyu and force Sakura to get out of her [If she doesn't get pierced that is]. Some could say that Zetsu can't use this, but remember that Obito's body is made out of half Zetsu and that's the only reason he could use Mokuton so Zetsu himself would be capable of potentially making even larger branches than Obito could make.

What are you talking about, Fizz? I'm really not sure if you trying to troll by saying Sakura = Sasuke = Naruto so Sakura > Zetsu or are you trying to actually point out something. (._. )

Zetsu's theme is boss. Never noticed that.

OT: I agree. Esp. liked the distributation of clones, counter to Katsuyu, the mokuton swords' and spores' offense and the strategy used here. A close range fighter who needs to make contact with opponents and relies on chakra is not a matchup that can counter well against "someone" like Zetsu.

Indeed and I didn't even know that was his theme before. :p

And thanks. Zetsu is quite underrated on here simply because he never had an actual fight. People need to stop sleeping on him.

Zetsu is indeed underrated, but I don't believe that he is exactly the third strongest simply because most of them have techniques that could cover a lot of ground. :p

You probably won't get any serious rebuttals, but great thread. I completely agree.

All of those are debatable. He could potentially beat all of them. It really depends. However, I'm not really sure about Kitsuchi due to his Earth Sandwich technique. Then again, Zetsu could hide himself somewhere where Kitsuchi won't be able to reach him.

Thanks man. You're the one who told me to make this anyways. :D
