@Trickster Thanks for that, you explained very well, I felt like I was going nowhere, I was not sure how to explain, which lead me to believe that It was not TSB for a while, I forgot then I re-read, phew, Ok, so that explains the TSB part. He may be using Yin-Yang release as he wishes, there is a limit to his malleability, he can reform but he lost some parts when he was fighting with Naruto and Sasuke.

I think Black Zetsu is a link between TSB and Chakra receiver rod, So I’m making another theory He was seen with Black rods when he was taking control of Obito, After that he did make Shakujo with the Black Zetsu after gaining control back Impaling Madara to get Kurama and Hachibi, He deflected Madara’s TSB. TSB is malleable and it can shape shift into rods just like Naruto and Madara had, but the Chakra Manifestation rods are solid constructs, another difference is distance; The rods absorb chakra, and are used to immobilise someone and doesn’t require user to be near, but it doesn’t affect anyone who has six paths sage chakra (not just sage), and TSB can only be used by the user upto 70 m of distance. They have only one similarity they negate Ninjitsu, not to mention they came from the Statue Gedo Mazou you know the Rods came from Statue’s navel and TSB came from Ten-tails (when Madara was going to attack Guy but Naruto kicked it), I think the rods can be used by anyone with Rinnengan like Nagato, and TSB who has become Ten-Tail’s Jinchuriki, and who has SPSC, & rather unusual case Kaguya’s KKM. And I think Rods are made up of Yang Chakra (+ some other chakras, they are product from Gedo Mazou – 9 Bijuu and I read somewhere it was made of Hashirama’s cells), so they are absorbing Yin chakra from body to immobilize and disrupt flow of chakra path. Obito’s usage of TSB is like that of Gaara using Sand, I believe this malleability is because Obito is infusing Yin Chakra, and I believe that Black zetsu’s use is similar Yang to Harden and Yin to become malleable(vice versa is possible).

Apart from their elemental chakra I would like to highlight the similarity between Truth-Seeking ball and Ten-Tails i.e. they don’t have Wood release. I think this will be enough for explanation.

Wood release is related to Yang chakra (plus it needs Hashirama ‘s cells, probably the only physical thing), Naruto possessed Yang Kurama, and made the wood grow, so I would relate White Zetsu made up of Yang chakra because they show same effect to Yang Chakra, so it seems like they absorb Yang. So Black Zetsu being able to absorb Yin Kurama, I would relate it to having Yin Chakra. I also began wondering why Yin-Half was being sealed in Minato for DD consuming seal but not Yang half; So Yin is for Spiritual and Yang for Physical and Vitality. When merged and molded become chakra itself. So yin,yang basically in parts alone are chakra. If they are disturbed by Natural energy, overpowered by that then they become toad, degenerated, and latter happened to TSB, I have so many questions, but I do relate my answer to sage chakra like I don't know why there is some similarity between Obito and Kabuto’s appearance after gaining some sage chakra, like the scaly version?
