One of the most notable characters in Naruto is Zetsu. I don't know if it's
just me, but I have developed a very keen interest towards Zetsu and his
abilities. I understand that White Zetsus are all the human beings that Kaguya
enslaved when she first cast the Tsukiyomi on an entire village. And I also
know that Black Zetsu is the manifestation of Kaguya's will right before she
was sealed by her two sons.

However, what seems to confuse me is that both Madara and Itachi stated that
the only way to read the [Stone
tablet](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Stone_Tablet) in the Uchiha hideout was
if the person had the Sharingan or any of its derivations. Zetsu, on the other
hand, was able to read it, and even made changed to the Sacred text left by
Hagoromo while having neither Sharingan nor Rinnengan.

The Wiki states that White and [Black
Zetsu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Zetsu) had both the Mangekyou
Sharingan and Rinnengan but that is most definitely super wrong. Throughout
the manga/anime Zetsu's eyes were shown many times and even during his fights
with the five Kage and the Mizukage(while protecting the feudal lords in the
4th great Ninja war), he never showed the ability to use any Kekkai Genkai
except Wood Release.

How did Zetsu acquire both the Mangekyou and Rinnengan (Before the time of the
Senju and Uchiha clan)? If not, does this mean there are other methods to
reading the tablets which Zetsu may have used?

Are there other ways of reading the Uchiha Tablet?


First, I'll clarify some things. You mentioned that 'The Wiki states that
White and Black Zetsu had both the Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnengan but that
is most definitely super wrong.' This is mostly accurate information though.
If you read more into that page,

**How did Zetsu acquire both the Mangekyou and Rinnengan to read the tablet?**
Black Zetsu didn't have Mangekyou or Rinnengan when it modified the tablet. So
how was Black Zetsu able to read and modify the [Uchiha
Tablet](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Stone_Tablet)? No specifics were ever
mentioned in the manga. As a matter of fact, [he has a number of unnamed
abilities that were seen throughout the
manga](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Zetsu#Other_Skills).

**Are there other ways of reading the Uchiha Tablet?** Based from this
information, **yes, there is definitely another way of reading and modifying
the tablet**. Black Zetsu has an 'unnamed ability' that enables him to read
and modify the tablet, albeit **the specifics are still not mentioned by the
mangaka**. That he was able to read and modify the tablet without Rinnegan or
Sharingan is, in itself, proof of an alternative method. Whether there are
more ways other than Black Zetsu's 'unnamed ability', however, is still
unknown as of now.
