[Theory] Other Possible SAGE modes/Animals

[NirvanaAtLast]

Ok, so one thing I've noticed is that Kishi seems to hint at other Sage modes possibly existing. We already know of an as yet unrevealed Sage mode regarding a "Humid Bone Forest" (which is likely Slug Sage Mode), and we also learned that the 4-tails was called "King of the Monkey Sages" & said he ruled a place called Suiren Caves. Now I believe that isn't just a moniker or nick-name. I think there are lots of "Sage" animals in the Naruto universe that if trained under could provide you with a corresponding Sage Mode. I mean there's toads, Snake/Dragon, Slug, Monkey, & who knows what else. There seems to be an abundance of these Sage animals. Also it wasn't clearly explained what the source of Hashirama's Sage Mode was so there's another mystery. I think Hiruzen may also be a "Monkey Sage" and just hasn't shown it yet much like no one knew Hashirama had a secret Sage Mode. I bet Tsunade also at least knows of the Slug Sage Mode or probably has it. Just a thought. =D​

Well sage mode doesn't always have to be an animal thing. Anyone can try to learn Senjutsu.

Kiba-dog sage mode..It has a ring to it..=D
O.T.- Yes, I think there could have been other Sage mode, and as above guy said you don't need sage mode doesn't even need animal..

Well the trend so far in the manga has always linked Sage Mode with an animal or creature & a mystical location of some kind. Also it seems that you have to be "accepted" by this animal or deemed "worthy" to train under them, as shown in Kabuto's flashback. The dragon Sage was very hostile.

Nah bro wolf sage mode or Cerberus Sage mode sounds better

 

[Tirant]

Yea your right bro

To be honest there is probably some special form for nearly every animal summon.

Toad, Snake, Slug, Monkey.....the only alternative would be the possibility that's monkey's are also in said humid bone forest...but it's unlikely considering Son Goku's testimony.

Kishi just won't waste time introducing them all.

I think there is a high possibilitty that Hashirama's Sage Mode comes from Slugs...

Mostly because Madara said that he was able to heal himself without forming seals.
That's pretty much a Slug Sage ability... and since he is Tsunade's grandfather probably her summoning contract came from him.

Hiruzen in Monkey Sage mode w/ enma by his side would be awsome and probally OP.lol

This is Hiruzen in Sage Mode which is why he was the strongest hokage in his prime.lmao

I was thinking of Samehada fusing with Kisame, he became half fish and half man.
If it fuses with Bee does this mean he could become half octopus and half man? or just a bullshark.

Seeing the thread title made me thought about this in depth. Sage mode is related to those who have a relation to a certain animal.

For example Naruto can take on frog like features
Sasuke can take on a bird/snake
Kisame can take on a Shark

Hmm..

Killerbee did show some octopus features such as ink, etc. Since the 8 tails is an Ushi-Oni (Octobullopus)

What I dont get, if people like Tsunade, Hiruzen and maybe Tobirama and Minato have sage mode as well, than why dont they use it? Arguably the strongest shinobi, Hashirama, goes into sage mode, because the battle requires them to power up to their max. Why, when you are weaker than Hashirama, would you go like ''sage mode, ill save it for later''.

So I am afraid we wont see Hiruzen, Tsunade and such use it. They could have done it before battle if they required time.
They didnt. If they want to do it in battle, than when will that happen? Maybe they can only be for a short time in the sage mode and save it up for the right time. That would be possible. Someone like Hashirama doesnt have to save it up, cause he can go into the mode like a boss and stay in the mode =D.

Who said Minato had Sage mode? It has never ever been said in the Manga that Minato learned Sage mode or even attempted to.

Did you read my post properly? If that is the case, than you can see sentence of that post starting with the word ''if'' and you can see the word ''maybe'' in front of ''Tobirama and Minato''.
