As the group struggles to recover from their intense spar with the Golden Zetsu, Brown Zetsu steps forward with a grin, his tone surprisingly casual.

"Good news," he says with a hint of malice in his voice. "Kaguya has created more White Zetsu, and some of them have already evolved to higher levels. There's even a Diamond Zetsu now. It's ten times the strength of Kaguya herself."

The words hit like a punch to the gut. For a moment, the room falls silent as everyone processes the information.

Tsunade, unable to keep her composure, bursts out in disbelief. "That's not good news!" she yells, her voice full of urgency. "We've just seen what evolved Zetsu can do! And now there's one that's even stronger than Kaguya?!"

Hashirama clenches his fists, his brow furrowing in concern. "This is far worse than we anticipated. We need to be prepared for an army of these... evolving Zetsu. The strength of a Diamond Zetsu could be catastrophic."

Sasuke looks grim, his mind already racing with possible strategies. "If these Zetsu are evolving at this rate, it's not just about Isshiki anymore. We might be dealing with an unstoppable force."

Naruto, usually the optimist, looks worried too. "Ten times Kaguya's strength? That's insane. We can't just sit here and wait for this army to come at us. We need to fight back now."

Hagoromo and Hamura exchange a troubled glance. "This changes everything," Hagoromo mutters. "If Kaguya is making Zetsu stronger than even she was... we need to act fast."

Brown Zetsu watches them with an almost amused expression. "You're too late. There's already a Diamond Zetsu out there, and soon, there will be more like it. But don't worry, maybe it will be a good challenge for you all."

Tsunade grits her teeth, clearly frustrated. "Challenge? Are you insane? This isn't just a challenge; it's an extinction event waiting to happen. If we don't stop Kaguya's creations, the entire world could be at risk." This work was created by shredder121

Minato, who has been silently absorbing the situation, steps forward. "We need to move quickly. With this new threat, we can't afford to hesitate. We need all the help we can get—more than just Zetsu."

Madara sneers at the thought. "So we're not just fighting Isshiki anymore, are we? We're fighting an army of evolving Zetsu and a Diamond Zetsu that could easily wipe us out."

The tension in the room is palpable. Tsunade is seething, her fists clenched in frustration, while Naruto and Sasuke exchange looks, silently agreeing that they need to keep pushing forward.

"Alright," Sasuke says, his voice steady but firm. "We've seen how dangerous these Zetsu are, and we know we're not ready for something like a Diamond Zetsu yet. But that just means we need to train harder. We need to be stronger."

Naruto nods vigorously. "We can do it! We won't give up!"

Brown Zetsu chuckles darkly, clearly enjoying their defiance. "Such optimism... but we'll see how far it takes you. Kaguya won't be the only one you need to worry about now. You'll have to fight all of us Zetsu in the end."

The group falls silent again, realizing the gravity of the situation. The battle ahead is going to be more difficult than any of them could have imagined.
