He's still going on about this? Yeah, I'm sure Kishi has used Senpou to mean Sage Mode (in regards to the ability to utilize natural energy) every single time throughout the entirety of his many a, except for this single particular chapter. Yes, he expects everyone to understand that, just because its the exact same name, romanization, and appearance; it is NOT to be confused with Sage Mode that Jiraiya, Naruto, and Kabuto utilized.
Come on, man. Get off it. You know you're wrong. You clearly skimmed over the manga when you read it, and you didn't see the text Senpou or Mokuton, hence you making this thread. That's fine, and all, but YOU started with the insults. Now that you know you are wrong, you still refuse to just admit that you just didn't read the ****ing text in those particular pages. Are you that much of a child? Can t even say, "Who oops, my mistake. Carry on."?
He uses the exact same natural energy gathering stance, as well as the exact same words to initiate his "senpou" as other sages do. So why is he the only one who isn't a sage, when he initiates it and calls it the same thing as the CONFIRMED sages?
Point, Hashirama is a sage. How is that even surprising? I kinda saw it coming when Kabuto became sage. This is obviously the part where all the ancestors' pasts gets revealed, and multiple characters (all using the term senpou) has discussed the required strong body, and chakra to be able to utilize senpou techniques. Clearly, it was nudging to the Senju, who were known for their strong life force, bodies, and chakra reserves. The uzumaki, being cousins, are perfect candidates for sage mode. Naruto perfected it in no time. Jiraiya never perfected it, though he got around his own shortcomings by using amphibian technique with the old toads. It's why his appearance changed so drastically, whereas Naruto only gained frog eyes.
Same idea with snake sage with Kabuto. He was so horribly disfigured from his own experiments BEFORE becoming a sage, so it's hard to say what changes come from that, or his own expiraments, but the same eye shadow is a dead giveaway of a sage. The same markings Hashirama gained after he initiated the mode the same way everyone else did, and received the same dramatic boost in abilities as everyone else. While calling it the same exact thing as everyone else.
After all of this evidence, you STILL believe it isn't true? You're either a child who isn't big enough to own his own mistakes, or your a brain dead troll. Both are equally bad. Ball up, son.
