Technically everyone has all the ingredients for chakra, and has had it all along. Hagoromo just gave people some form of spiritual enlightenment that allowed them to bind their mental and physical energy into actual chakra. Humans, animals etc all have chakra, they just can't necessarily mold it. NoMoreVillains wrote: But there is another thing that bothers me. What about pregnant women? What happens to the babies when their mothers become White Zetsus? Quite frankly, i think they die. We've seen the Shinju be fairly aggressive with reclaiming chakra, i don't think children (or small animals) would be strong enough to resist IT's effects and be turned Zetsu. I think they'd just eventually die and become plant food.
