I know that several threads have been made about madara and zetsu theories, however after reading all of them I formulated my own.
A little fact gathering:
When Minato explained to Naruto what happened the night he was born, one thing kept going through my mind: the moment minato struck madara with a rasengan. His body reacted like the zetsu clones bodies.
Another thing that kept sweeping through my mind is that when sasuke receives the eyes from his brother (and madara does so as well) he says he feels itachi's power and liforce flow through him.
Also the whole "mask with one whole in it" kept me thinking....
Madara states he created zetsu (both white and black) and we can see that he is at least knowledgeable with zetsu to use the Gedo Mezo's sealed biju chakra to augment the zetsu and make even more. We also know that zetsu seem to have been created by using cells harvested from the first hokage. Madara said he was never the same after the battle between him and the first. He did something to him. Also madara says that he has the power of the senju in him (somewhere) that's why he could use izanagi.
Also, the black half of zetsu seems to have a much more darker personality and the white half a much more lighter one. Like they are actually very diferent beings.
We know that madara was fully powerfull before battling with the first and after was depleted of almost all his power.
We also know that he hasn't transplanted both rinnegan into himself and that he did transplant one without kabuto's help (without medical jutsu).
So the theory part...
I think that after the battle with the first, not much was left of Madara's physical form. He probably lost half his head and much of his body. The parts salvaged were probably only his right EMS and part of his body and head. He made it seem like he was dead and harashisama believed so.
After that he has to have done a few things that I can't explain:
First he either Created or Found Black Zetsu. Then, using black zetsu, he created the white half with the firsts DNA, by letting it feed on the black halfs chakra. (I believe the black part is the "original one" because it seems that only one exists and he's the only one with the venus trap thing, he is problably like the original plant zetsu) He then implanted a white zetsu into his damaged body, replacing the parts that were lost or damaged, making him more or less able to fight again. The white zetsu ability to clone ones chakra would mean he could be used to merge with a person and replace and substitute the damaged parts.
This also helps explain madara's two diferent abilities: First his "black hole" jutsu, similar to kamui. This ability I believe is 100% from his EMS/MS. No doubt there. But the ability to merge with solid matter and travel through it? The same ability zetsu has? I believe that ability comes from madara's zetsu half. That's why he can't use them both at the same time and they don't seem related. Besides, Kakashi's MS has a similiar ability to the Black hole jutsu that madara has, but no other character so far has shown the same abiltiy to merge and pass through solid matter like madara and zetsu have.
Also, the fact that madara has only part of his body may explain why he hasn't used jutsu so far. Only a summoning wich we know that some characters can use without hand seals. Since he only has half his body (problaby only one original arm) he wouldn't be able to correclty mold chakra between his two diferent arms. It would be like two people use one the right hand and the other the left to make the hand seals to use a tech. That's why he only uses eye techniques. He only has his eye.
Also, i don't believe that he would sacrifice his left EMS in the battle with konan if he had it. He could simply put her under a genjutsu. Or do a number of things to her. After itachi killed the clan, madara stuck up on eyes. He placed a normal sharingan on his left eye socket (the white zetsu side) so that he could have both senju (the white zetsu) and uchiha together (in his zetsu side)enabling him to use izanagi with his white half.
Than with the rinnegan, he simply used the white zetsu part of him to implant in it the rinnegan, making it so that it had the senju vitality (white zetsu) to use the rinnegan. If he had implated the rinnegan in a uchiha body, this would have killed that body. Even nagato was uzumaki so that he could withstand the rinnegan's use. So when he says he has the senju DNA, he's refering to his white zetsu half.
I believe that although he is capable of controling his left half, the control isn't perfect enough so that he can share its abilities. I mean, I can walk, talk, fight, and use the abilties of the left side as his own...but only if he isn't using the abilities of his right side.
I mean, he can phase through an object but not while getting the enemy in a genjutsu with his right sharingan. Or he can use the rinnegan to do some jutsu but not at the same time as he's using the sharingan. Techniques that require hand seals are also one thing he can't do because although the zetsu half has copied his chakra and keeps his body sustained, he can't completly merge his chakra with it, making it so that the two flows of chakra aren't acting as one. Is a Senju flow with and Uhicha flow.
Hinata's byakugan couldn't see it because the zetsu copys one's body to perfection (chakra circulatory system and all). But I believe that that isn't enough to make it possible to combine the two halfs into performing a jutsu. Even if the zetsu clones the circulatory system, the chakra inside it can only be one at a time. Senju and uchiha aren't the same chakra and one can't change one's chakra. So, when using a zetsu ability, the senju chakra overwelms the uchiha and vice versa.
I know it's long, but hope someone finds it logical and possible. Cumpz!
