Sage Mode

[Suigetsu13]

Ok, it has been pondering me lately that what are the steps you have to take to enter Sage Mode? I know you have to gather and mix natural chakra with your own but what other steps are there?

None, the other step is to control it in such a way that it cannot overtake you, in other words: practise.

u have to stay stilll

 

[Harumi]

in order to be sure that ur in sage mode , check ur eyes! ur eyes change in sage mode! that way is much safer than dropping off a building!

 

[Sir Creaper]

don't forget you have to have the guts to do this training and massive chakra to balance the natural chakra

 

[Shinjitsu]

If your question implies that your asking: 'well if there is no special steps needed for sage mode, why is it so special and why cant anyone do it?' then the answer is simple...

they can.. its just 99% would fail

If your question is simply 'are there any other steps to sage mode other than control nature with your own chakra...' then the answer is simpler stilll....

no, not really just continuous training!

Sage Mode is the result of using natural energy along with a ninja's normal chakra in perfect balance to drastically increase a ninja's abilities.

Senjutsu (仙術, Sage Techniques) refers to a specialized field of jutsu that allows the user to sense and then gather the natural energy around a person. Senjutsu practitioners can then learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them blending it with their own chakra (created from spiritual and physical energy within the shinobi), adding a new dimension of power to the Sage's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura).

This new chakra enables the user to enter an empowered state called Sage Mode, which can then drastically increase the strength of all ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. A person who is able to use senjutsu is called a sage (仙人, sennin). It would seem that it stems from the toads of Mount Myōboku, as only Shima, Fukasaku, Jiraiya and Naruto have been seen using it. Gamakichi and Gamabunta also seem to be familiar with it.


Advantages
The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, and durability dramatically increase.
The user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become very powerful.
The user can harness the natural energy surrounding them, turning it into an extension of their body, and increasing the reach of their attacks.
The user gains the ability to sense chakra around them.
The user does not feel as much pain, and recovers faster from physical damage.


Weaknesses
If the user draws in too much natural energy in the attempt to initiate Sage Mode, they run the risk of transforming into a toad, then into stone.
In order to gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into Sage Mode, the user must remain perfectly still. Because of that, the user can be an easy target for an opponent.
Because the user needs to move during combat, the Sage chakra cannot be replenished, which means the user can't stay within this state for extended periods of time.
The two weaknesses mentioned above can be bypassed through the Sage Art: Amphibian Technique, where one Sage gathers chakra for another or as in Naruto's case, shadow clones can be used for the same purpose.
After Sage Mode has ended, the user appears to experience exhaustion.

Right from narutopedia.... wish people could use there initiative
