If Black Zetsu was commanded to be with Obito while Madara was fighting the 5
kages,

How come, Naruto was not able to sense Black Zetsu in his Kyuubi mode while
fighting with Obito??

Why wasn't Naruto able to sense Black Zetsu?


As we now know Black Zetsu had the will of Kaguya in him. Just as Naruto
wasn't able to sense the Ten Tails (episode 363 of the anime) , Kaguya's
powers are even greater than the Ten Tails - she stopped the Infinite
Tsukuyomi easily. So sensing Kaguya (or Black Zetsu) is out of the question.

I think Naruto could sense BZ evil intent, but maybe not his physical body
because the Zetsu army and BZ are as close to nature as beings can be. White
Zetsu was able to sneak into the Kage summit ffs, even with the Raikage's
senser-nin (C) with him. The Zetsu's are all made from the Juubi/Tree, the
origins of chakra so I'm assuming they'd be overlooked even if Naruto was in
Sage mode because they're purely artificial/organic humanoids.

One might be able to look at it from the philosophical point of view that
there was no evil to sense.
