As you can see he has unusual marks on his forehead as well as marks around his eyes.
What do you guys think? Is it Sage Mode?

Kimimaro must have Sage Mode too.

OT: No. I actually remember someone (probably Sir Derp) showing that the marks are a part of some Japanese culture signifying the eldest of a family that would take over or something.

Good observation, very likely IMHO.

I thought it was war paint?

Might look into that.

Could be, I just thought that it looked awfully similar to the sage mode markings.

Many have made note of this prior...

Based on the design of the Elder Son's Kumadori it appears to denote a character with bad intentions fueled by hatred, his clipped eyebrows is the sign of nobility in Ancient Japan particularly the eldest son of a noble clan.​
