Ok, I believe this needs to be addressed about sage mode. Specifically Jiraiya’s sage mode.
1.) Over the years, there’s been a misinterpretation on how “imperfect” sage mode works. People assume it’s weaker than perfect/normal sage mode. When that is NOT the case. Which can be shown with Sage Jiraiya’s Ultimate Rasengan being just as big as Sage Naruto’s Ultimate Rasengan. Or Sage Jiraiya being able to speed-blitz and react to any Pain body as easily as Naruto did. Being an “imperfect” sage only means that’s you’re not able to balance your own chakra with natural energy correctly. Resulting in a change to your physical appearance. Which is why Jiraiya hated using sage mode because it made him unattractive with women. Jiraiya was unable to correctly gather natural energy perfectly to enter or maintain sage mode by himself. Which is why he summons Fukasaku and Shima to help him using the sage art: amphibian jutsu. Which, essentially gives Jiraiya infinite sage mode. As long as Fukasaku and Shima are fused to Jiraiya gathering and balancing his natural energy, he can stay in sage mode as long as he needs.
2.) The next point that needs to be brought up is Jiraiya “not” having sage sensory abilities. In his fight with Pain, the Asura path snuck up behind him and blew his arm off. But if he’s in Sage mode, shouldn’t he have sensed Asura path and easily dodged? Well, yes, he should have. It’s basically due to either plot or a lack of development in the author’s writing. Which happens quite often. I personally think the author didn’t incorporate sage sensory or frog kata into sage mode at this point cause he just simply didn’t think of it yet. And EVEN IF someone could argue that Jiraiya didn’t have sage sensory, he still had Fukasaku and Shima, 2 perfect, experienced sages on his shoulders. Surely 1 of them should’ve been able to sense the Asura path right?
3.) Last point I wanted to bring up is me just being disgusted with how the author buffs certain characters for the sake of plot. I’m sorry, but Madara WITH the Rinnegan and EMS was unable to react quick enough to the Raikage. While Sage Naruto is able to easily dodge the 3rd Raikage and Sage Kabuto is able to easily dodge Sasuke’s Susano arrow. But a BLIND Madara is able to speed-blitz Sage Naruto without any distractions? Pure bs.
So before you say Sage Jiraiya is “fodder” or whatever. Remember to do your research.
