Naruto had mastered sm to a higher degree because the more you master it the less frog features are seen. Jiraiya had to use shima and fukasaku to continually stay in sm whereas naruto used shadow clones which also allowed him to use it for longer periods of time. Both were useful in extending the time they could remain in sm. Plus in order for a person to use the 8 gate techniques it would require extensive training in taijutsu alone.does it matter,perfect/nonperfect? sm jiraiya>sm naruto, cos he can use it unlimited long time, cos he has shima and fukasaku on his arms....and chakra gates arent for soooo long...if 6 gates>sm, then naruto had to learn them instead of sm-if u get cut hand, u will not feel it+ it dont damage ur body
Sage mode enhances the users chakra in order to have more powerful jutsus and, in effect, bolsters their taijutsu to a certain degree. 8 gates increases the overall flow of chakra in the users entire body to dramatically increase their speed, strength, and stamina. They are both equally dangerous and possibly fatal if the user is not in full control of either techniques.
