Lol. Right. And thanks man.

I know nothing of SM. That's is why I'm here. Huehuehue. Jk
But Sage mode is a state that is entered by gathering Natural energy that is present in the surroundings, then mixing it with our own chakra to create what is known as Senjutsu. This state allows us to sense the world around us, while also boosting our techniques due to the Senjutsu being infused into them. Along with that, we become physically enhanced, gaining more physical strength and speed.

The main difference between SSM and the other 2 is the physical change we'd go through. The other two SM have slight changes to one's look, such as markings on the face at most. With the Snake Variant our entire body becomes snake like, giving us abilities that a snake naturally has such as their ability to sense heat signatures or vibrations in the air. Another difference is the immense boost our sensing gets. Unlike the others, we're the only ones that get an innate ×5 tracking, which is wicked af. The only downside to this particular SM is the short time we have in it and the lack of canon techniques, meaning we'd have to create jutsu for it ourselves (which isn't much of a problem) and the fact they won't let us make customs to prolong our mode. I think that's all there is to compare and contrast, besides the fact that thus mode is the "speed" SM, giving is +10 speed while the others focus on brute power techniques. T.T

Good only thiogn is our SM alst longer xd a toad sm custom user last 5 turns while ours last 6 turns xd

Great now time to torture I mean teach you *has us reverse summoned to Ryuchi Cave* Now, since you've chosen the snake sage mode, we will need to do this the hard way!

*Performs a handseal and summons a bed of incredebly sharp six feet tall spikes, with one twelve foot tall spike in the middle*

Take a stone slab from the pile, and sit on the taller spike, gain your balance and maintain absolute stillness.

It looks simpler than it is, believe me

Hearing the instructions i jump up to the top of the spike, balancing on one foot as i await a snake to throw me a smooth rock plate to sit on. Once the snake got me the plate i balance it on the tip of the spike as i sit on the plate in complete stillness. I close my eyes and focus on the world around me, beginning to draw in the pure energy around me. I had sought out this ability for some time, thus conducted studies on it. During those studies i found that this is a dangerous process and i would have to quickly join the pure energy with my physical and spiritual energy in a perfect ratio between the 3. As i drew in the energy, i put my knowledge to use, combining the 3 in a 1:1:1 ratio, quickly forming it into Senjutsu inside of me.

*throws a rock at you*

Good. Now try in this state to feel the flow of the ecosystem around you. The plants, insects and animals, all in sync with each other. The energy which all these things give off, that is what you need to find and tap into. Eventually you will be able to draw on it, but first sense it.

As i sit there focusing i listen to the sage and take in his wise words. I start to feel the world around me, and the energy everything naturally gives off. I could begin to feel the energy coming from insects crawling and flying around, feeling their every minute movement in detail. I also felt the many animals that were around. Many were sleep. Some were creeping. While the others were simply being their natural selves. Surprisingly i could really feel the plants and their energy too. As if i began to connect with the world on an entirely different level. Once i could continously feel this feeling without over exerting myself, i begin to pull this energy into myself.

Alright, now the complicated part.
You must now draw on this flow, pulling the energy inside your body and balancing it equally with your spiritual and physical energies in a 1:1:1 ratio.
Too little natural energy and nothing happens, too much and.... It will kill you.
Are you prepared for this risk?

Hearing the sage explain that this is a dangerous process and i would have to quickly join the pure energy with my physical and spiritual energy in a perfect ratio between the 3, i started to draw in the energy once more. As i drew in the energy, i put my knowledge to use, combining the 3 in a 1:1:1 ratio, quickly forming it into Senjutsu inside of me. At first i kept putting a little too much physical energy into the process, but after a while of using finesse to mold the chakra together, i finally was able to achieve the perfect blend to enter sage mode. ... i think.

Congrats you are in SM ^^

( Sennin Modo ) – Sage Mode
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra cost: 70 (-15 per turn, adds 300 chakra points)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user, by standing perfectly still in a meditative focus (user must stay still for 1 turn), will draw into him natural energy which he will then blend with their own chakra adding a new dimension of power to it. By doing this, the user gains access to what is called senjutsu chakra. This new chakra allows the user to enter an empowered state called Sage Mode, which then drastically increases the strength of his techniques and his physical prowess (speed, strength, stamina, etc). This variation is used by the signers of the Snake Contract that undergo Senjutsu Training. The Snake sage mode gives different effects and features than its toad counter part. The user gains yellow eyes with a black sclera. They gain further access to snake anatomy, such as their brille, which can be used to block out some light as well as stop visual-based genjutsu from affecting them and their scales, which bestow a rudimentary yet effective protection from minor attacks. They are also able to perform abilities that are characteristic of snakes, such as dislocating their jaw, although this is not exclusive to this mode. Their physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, and durability dramatically increase, with more emphasis on speed, agility and reflexes rather than strength, endurance and raw power. When Sage mode ends the user then experiences physical exhaustion reducing their capabilities the following turn and preventing him from using techniques above A-Rank and Taijutsu above B-Rank. A user can prevent this by using a shadow clone to collect natural energy and dispelling it before sage mode ends or by ending sage mode before it times out. While sage mode is active, minor wounds heal slowly as time passes and the user gains the ability to passively sense his surroundings through the natural energy, in a similar but more precise and enhanced way as normal chakra sensing. While Sage Mode is active, the user will take little damage from techniques C-Rank and below, specially Taijutsu. Taijutsu gains +15 damage, main elemental affinity gains +20 damage, other elemental ninjutsu gain +10 damage and Genjutsu gains +10 damage.
Note: Sage Mode lasts for a total of 6 turns unless a clone is used
Note: This variation can only be used by custom bios with the Snake contract


Rank: A
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: This technique allows the user to control things that have no life functions by gifting them with some of their own life force, allowing the user to freely manipulate the substance according to their will. The extent of the user's control goes beyond normal manipulation through chakra, meaning that even drastic alterations to the immediate environment can occur both suddenly and unexpectedly, making attacks using this method extremely difficult to avoid. Intense heat such as that produced by the flames of Amaterasu can counter the effects of this technique, causing affected inorganic materials to revert to their previous state.
Note: Effects of the technique last two turns and can only be used while on Snake Sage Mode.


This is the only technique for the Snake Sage Mode, so we'll learn it before your time in this state runs out. This technique is very potent, allowing you to impart a portion of your "life" force (done with your fine balance into Natural Energy) into the environment around you. Fairly useless in plain fields, this technique is fueled by creativity rather than strength. By donating your life force to nearby inanimate objects, you gain full control over them (looking at the , your degree of control is quite ridiculous). Different from techniques that manipulate nature with chakra, this has no limitations as elements do. You don't even have to follow normal restrictions of the environment or object (as seen, Kabuto was able to curve the earth as if it were some form of fabric, as well as grow stone spikes). You can cause the environment to change in linear movements (such as Kabuto did - just simple changes like the spikes coming closer and the roof and floor changing to get Itachi into position) so fast that even the Sharingan has difficulty keeping up (Itachi had time to create a Susano'o arm to protect Sasuke, but couldn't also form more of Susano'o to protect himself). This technique overall is great, and I personally would like to use it in a forest to get an army of Ents on my side.
Now, this technique has a few certain restrictions. First of all, you can't make things "fly" - magically levitating for no obvious reason. You also can't control anything that is living, which would include animals of all kind and humans. Plants are acceptable.
As for its weaknesses, powerful flames such as Amaterasu (given the rank it's been granted in the RP, I'd also say S-rank flame) can disrupt your energy and return the objects/environment to their normal state. But aside from that, weaknesses are a case-by-case system.

So, why don't you perform it, show me an example of how you'd use it (in your performance), and then ask any questions you have about this technique, or SSM in general.

After entering Sage Mode for the first time, i take a moment to enjoy my new enhancements; mostly the newfound sensing i had achieved. Once i was done, i nodded my head to the Sage's instructions and then began to perform it. I simply infused a portion of my life force onto a sword on my hip, essentially bringing the sword alive. The sword started to "melt" onto my hand and molding itself around the entirety of my left arm. Once the sword molded around my arm, it took on a semi solid state that allowed it to still be freely molded while having a physical form. With my enhanced arm i leap towards a nearby boulder and punch it with considerable stength, forcing a small fang-like spike to protrude from between my knuckles. Of course the punch would completely annihilate the rock, leaving just the rubble behind.

I think i only have 1 question and it pertains to the sensing in SSM. Do we only sense things that have Chakra, or can we sense everything around us? So like a non chakra infused kunai. Could i sense that? I would say we possibly could, seeing as we sense like snakes; sensing vibrations and such. But just to be sure.

Well in the wikia it says chakra and attacks without needing to see them so I would go with yes since you technically would be sensing your opponent throwing it at you
