Confused when the villain Code is randomly reincarnated by naruto The White Zetsu army using the Ten-Tails as their base in boruto story. Despite the manga’s lack of clarity, the anime actually heralded something like this possibly happening before Otsutsuki’s original Konoha invasion when Momoshiki possessed Boruto. Subsequent episodes further foreshadow this as the Kara members attempt to steal some crucial DNA that played a key role in the formation of the White Zetsu army.
In Naruto, Obito initially raised the original White Zetsu army from the chakra of the Gedou statues and the First Hokage’s cells, creating hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the process. Code member Kara’s latest attempt at last seems less epic as he randomly simulates Obito’s army from the smaller pieces he broke from Kara’s Ten-Tails in chapter 72 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations by creator and supervisor Masashi Kishimoto, artist Mikio Ikemoto, and screenwriter Ukyo Kodachi.
First Hokage’s White & Cell Zetsu Appears in Boruto’s Anime
But the anime reveals that Code’s efforts are actually the final stages of various quests that Boruto has tackled in different time periods in the anime. The closest resemblance to the original White Zetsu clones came before Otsutsuki’s original Konoha invasion. In episode 51, Konohamaru and Team 7 came across one of them on a separate mission, where they also found the symbol of Otsutsuki. Then, much later in episode 161, two members of Kara end up stealing the First Hokage’s cells from a random woman who bought them from the black market for her own vehicle. himself, which seems to have been stolen from Orochimaru.
It is clear that White Zetsu clones were found in an area bearing the Otsutsuki emblem that they are somehow bound to Kara, an organization that serves the will of one of the Otsutsuki, Isshiki. Code, whose identity revolves around Isshiki, is certainly continuing the research that Otsutsuki was conducting on the multifaceted Zetsu in episode 51. It was important for Kara to obtain the First Hokage’s cells because Obito had nurtured them. partial copies of the original White Zetzu from those clones. the same cells.
Zetsu’s return to Boruto could make Orochimaru the villain again
Apparently Kara stole the First Hokage’s cells for what Code later did to the Ten-Tails because of the way Isshiki reacted to another mission in which the Kara members themselves had obtained the cells involved. In episode 176, Isshiki denounced their use of the Sacred Wood, which they used against the Konoha shinobi who had tracked them down. Notably, Isshiki didn’t say anything negative about what they did to those cells. It was because Isshiki still cared about the data they collected for use with the White Zetzu clones, and it was this data that Code brought about when he created his army of White Zetzu including including the tail of the same name of the Ten-Tails.
As of episode 176, the only questions left concern how Kara’s experiments can be accomplished since Orochimaru retrieves the stolen cells at the end of the mission. Can Orochimaru and Code then link up? Boruto has turned around the issue of Orochimaru becoming a threat again ever since viewers learned that he and Konoha were in the midst of a fragile alliance. Orochimaru is one of the biggest villains in Naruto, and seeing him in this new role where he has fake relationships with various Konoha shinobi still doesn’t feel right. Furthermore, this new alliance between Orochimaru and Code will hurt Mitsuki. If Orochimaru really helped Code create the Zetsu army, then boruto brought on two classics naruto villain in a way that can wreak havoc on Konoha.
