The Brown Zetsu steps forward again, the air thick with anticipation. His eyes glimmer with a hint of amusement as he speaks. "In addition to the 10 White Zetsu, I will send one Gray Zetsu to assist you. You should be grateful for this, as this particular Zetsu is as strong as the Ninja God and the Ninja Shura."

A murmur of surprise ripples through the room. The idea that a single Zetsu could match such legendary figures sends a shiver down everyone's spine.

Tsunade raises an eyebrow, a skeptical look on her face. "The Ninja God and Ninja Shura? You're telling us this Gray Zetsu is as strong as those figures?"

The Brown Zetsu gives a slight nod, his tone indifferent. "Yes. The Zetsu that will come is on a different level. He should prove useful in your fight, though you may not want to test his strength unless absolutely necessary."

Hashirama chuckles lightly, his optimism never wavering despite the strange and ominous nature of the Zetsu. "We'll take whatever help we can get. If this Gray Zetsu is as strong as you say, we'll be ready for whatever comes next."

The Brown Zetsu doesn't wait for further questions. "The Gray Zetsu will arrive shortly. Consider this another form of assistance from Kaguya's forces."

With that, the Brown Zetsu steps back into the shadows, leaving the room with a lingering sense of unease. A new, powerful ally—or perhaps a potential threat—is on the way, and everyone can only wait and see what role this Gray Zetsu will play in the battles to come.
