Sakura needs a fight but it seems like her only role is to be Naruto's girl. And kishi have a thing with just talking about powers but not showing with all the females in this manga.

Nice theory.
You know some time back there was a theory I made about the slug Forrest being the nvm version of the suicide Forrest in Japan, known for the bones of the dead and a lot of yurie activity, or damned ghost.

Wouldnt it be weird if a slug sage mode, has bone jutsus?As a continuation and as well as a connection, if you may say like that, to myYou must be registered for see linksand linked withYou must be registered for see linksof mine, I am finally presenting you, the long awaited theory on what powers I think Sakura might get as a Slug Sage Mode user, besides the possible genjutsu power-up.
Therefore, let’s continue.
I want to start first by mentioning that finally, something “glued” in regards to this theory. But for that trigger of my “glue” to come out, something had to thick. And it ticked when I saw @thelegendofminato’s picture, to be more specific, this one:
You must be registered for see images
Okay now, you must probably have guessed my theory by now, but let’s say it anyway.
From the very first time I heard the name of Katsuyu’s residence, namely Shikkotsurin, something in my brain went : Trink! This name is similar to a certain someone’s technique’s name, also known as Shikotsumyaku. How similar of them! One means “Damp Bone Forest” while the other means “Dead Bone Pulse”. How curious, they have the bone thing in their structure and sound highly similar. They’re clearly connected!
At that time, people had speculated that Kaguya Otsutsuki and Kimmimaro Kaguya might have a connection, given the “Kaguya” in their names, but I was somewhat let’s say… not totally agreeing with this because I had an issue with first names and last names placements, lol.
Anyway, as I was saying, I was planning for a long time now to link Sakura’s possible Slug Sage Mode Powers theory with Kimmimaro Kaguya. At first, it was simply because of him and let me explain you why.
First of all, like I said earlier, the eerily similar names and meanings of his Kekke Genkai and Katsuyu’s residence name. Both refer to bones, be it dead or damp. But both refer to the bone.
Therefore, my guess is that what we saw Kimmimaro having mastered, all those fighting styles and whatnot due to his Kekke Genkai, is what we are going to see as possible power-ups in the case of Slug’s own Sage Mode.
As we all know, Shikotsumyaku permitted Kimmimaro to modify the density of his bones, making them harder than steel itself, which made him virtually immortal. Probably that is why Kishi had to make him die of sickness. Because no matter what you had on him, as long as he had chakra, Kimmimaro was virtually immortal. Nothing pierced him and his bones were his armor and his weapons.
That’s why, when reading about Shikotsumyaku, some particularities about his character and powers clicked to me and fairly believed that these will be things Sakura, as a Slug Sage Mode user could possess.
Therefore, let me continue with some of them (copied from Narutopedia cause I am lazy).
While though different, what Katsuyu and Kimmimaro have in common is that, until now, nothing physical killed them. Kimmimaro died of sickness while the only time we saw that something could kill Katsuyu, although she survived full charged Shinra Tensei, Chibaku Tensei and Naruto’s corrosive chakra up to almost the ninth tail, all while being restricted and suffocated by Chibaku Tensei’s pressure, the very own thing that killed Katsuyu in this series was chakra depletion. Kimmimaro resisted as well a very similar pressure as the Chibaku Tensei one when Gaara fought him in The Sasuke Retrievel Arc but even then, Kimmimaro survived and “bloomed” a forest of dead bones in matter of seconds. He died because he was sick.
Therefore, canonically we have this other similarity between the two: nothing can physically hurt them. Only sickness and chakra depletion and as we all know, everyone dies of sickness or chakra depletion, even in the Naruto world [unless you’re freaking Tsunade and can regenerate your cells].
What is true is while this is a similarity between them, there’s also a difference: Kimmimaro has skeletal structure while Katsuyu doesn’t. However, both of them have this fact in common: their body structure allows them to be virtually indestructible and immortal. I fairly believe that in Sage Mode, the user of it will get their skeletal structure indestructible, though, making up for the fact that they lack this thing. Dunno exactly how to explain that part, but as I said, I do believe that the user will be able to modify their skeletal structure and make it an armor of dense bone underneath their skin which will make them virtually indestructible and immortal.
This would not only make-up for Sakura’s lack of physical resistance due to her “non”-special heritage, but would also make her virtually “more” immortal than her master, Tsunade. And given she lacks that heritage, the danger of using techniques such as Sozo Saisei which cuts off your cells, so to speak, therefore you die younger because you aren’t an Uzumaki who lives friggin hundreds of years, will be gone and she would take zero risks! Nothing, nada, zero. What a great way to make her surpass Tsunade, ne?She doesn’t even have to worry about suffering those side effects because she won’t have to use such a technique to begin with, if she would master Slug Sage Mode, presumably it would have these powers.
Another characteristic power, to say it like that, I thought that would fit Sakura in SSM, who was taken by observing Kimmimaro’s character is the following:
Close combat and defense - this is none other than Sakura’s main field as not only a medic-nin. Close combat - because that’s her style and defense due to her medical skills.
Flower names - we all know her name is actually a flower, right? This doesn’t need to be explained, ne?
And last, but not least, sword dances. This involves swords and dances, apparently. Remember how ever since part 1, Sakura has been featured with swords:
You must be registered for see images
And recently as well:
You must be registered for see images
Where we have Sakura with, again, a sword the exact words being: Flowers dancing (while wearing a sword) on the battlefield. Coincidental much from Kishi?! I fairly believe not at all.
With that being said, I think that the main power-ups Sakura will get as a Slug Sage Mode user will be the following:
- something genjutsu-related as I explained in my previous theory and the recent one;
indestructible skeletal structure which will make her virtually indestructible and immortal, therefore, she would have surpassed her master without having to suffer from the side effects of techniques such as Sozo Saisei/maybe Byakugo;
and last, but not least, some weaponry of sorts: it will either be the swords or the big axes Kishi has kept on symbolizing her through or that kind of knife we saw in the recent theory I talked about.
With that being said, what made me believe 100% now that the Sage’s mother and Kaguya clan were indeed, connected, and will lead to a Sage Mode which will be most surely, the Slug’s one?
Well, first of all, other similarities.
Like I showed you in the beginning, it’s this picture:
You must be registered for see images
Besides the two horns, Kimmimaro’s eyes “make-up” is highly similar to a certain someone’s:
You must be registered for see images
As we can see, both Kimimaro and Indra have that eye make-up pattern. And as we learned today, Indra was a descendant of Kaguya Otsutsuki himself.
And last, but not least, remember who was a good friend of Kimimaro’s whose clan were well known for Sennin Transformation in their village? Oh, right, Juugo’s clan! What is the animal that had a Sage Mode and whose energy was found in the whereabouts of Juugo’s clan’s? Right, none other than Dragon [or Snake, how some of you know it] Sage Mode. And as we know, Jugo’s clan were also some sort of descendants of the Sage of Six Paths.
Therefore, given this information, it is safe to assume that Kimimaro’s clan is also some sort of descendant of the Sage himself, better said, Kaguya herself and that is where Katsuyu might reside herself. Actually, Shikkotsurin might very well be, like Juugo’s clan residence was for Hakuja Sennin (Dragon Sage), the home of Katsuyu.
There is this very clear connection between the two.
Also, besides the similarities between those ones mentioned earlier, we also have another similarity between Kaguya and Katsuyu herself. I know, it might look and sound crazy but, give it a slight thought and think only about how Kishi draws when he wants to mean something, don’t necessarily think about the anatomy/biology behind this:
You must be registered for see images
The two circle-y things remind me, personally, a lot, about Katsuyu’s tentacles and I know it sounds quite well… strange but, that’s me.
Also, how others speculate and on how I do to, the thing on her forehead might be some sort of Byakugo seal, the one Sakura possesses as well, and given how we know that for being able to summon Katsuyu, you need to master the seal, it wouldn’t be crazy to think these two are linked.
So, with that being said, this is how I think Slug Sage Mode will come to play. I am not saying this is a certain thing, I am only theorizing, however, given all these similarities, we might be onto something here.
So, until then, finger crossed!
Slugs dont have bones. A slug sage mode having bone attacks seems to contradict.
Kimimaro could already use bone jutsus as a kid, before he had the curse seal from Oro, which can absorb natural energy for the user.
Kimimaro used bone jutsus vs Naruto and Lee before he unleashed the curse seal.
So he can use the bone jutsus without a sage mode.
Why would the bone jutsu be a sage mode, if Kimimaro used it without the curse seal (the curse seal is a form of sage mode)? If he was already in sage mode, than he would have a curse seal on top of a sage mode. Wouldnt that be weird?
What if slug sage mode allows for division?
Splitting up into many smaller versions of yourself just like Katsuyu.
In your theory you mention how the dots on the foreheads of Kimimaro, Indra and Kaguya are similar.
Than you move to how the dots on Kaguya would be similar to the tentacles of Katsuyu.
Indirectly that would mean that you find the dots on Indra and Kimimaro similar to the tentacles of Katsuyu too right?
Or not?
Kaguya has horns on her head and so does Hagoromo.
People who gain certain powers gain the horns as well, like Naruto and Minato with Kurama cloak.
Obito and Madara with Juubi jinc powers.
The horns seem to be Kaguya and Juubi related and not Katsuyu related.
I believe in slug sage mode, but not in this version of yours with bones.
You say it would be better for Sakura if she had the bone jutsus instead of the healing ability that activates your cells to split, because unlike Tsunade, Sakura isnt a Uzumaki/Senju.
However, the bonejutsu of Kimimaro, requires one to heal the damage that the bones cause, when they pop out of your body, so Sakura her body would have to still heal a lot.
Kimimaro made a film of bone under his skin to defend vs Gaara's send, but his skin took a lot of damage (which he could heal up). Sakura would have to heal up a lot or make an exo skeleton to prevent her skin from damaging.
I believe Hashirama had slug sage mode.
Slugs are about healing and when Hashirama activated his sage mode, he was able to heal without seals.
The moment he went into sage mode his wounds started to regenerate.
The markings under his eyes, kinda look like tentactles (with some imagination).
I believe Kimimaro's clan is from a child from Hagoromo's brother (as you can read in my sig).
Your theory was an interesting read but I dont find it likely to become true for the reasons I gave.
Interested in your reply.

Why are you comparing a Death goddess to a Slug,to Sakura? The Powers of a Death goddess have nothing to do with Slugs at all and the Slugs connection to Sakura is a contract She sinned with them.

i like it! It would be great if something like this happened, and i could totally see a good new move for Sakura would be to have an indestructible body or bones, that would be a different ability that would still make sense. I would love to see Sakura get another powerup, I just hope Kishi does it soon if hes going to do it :bouncy:

She made a theory about it, and she wasn't comparing Kaguya to her. If you don't think its true, then provide theories or something as to why?
yes sakura will get sage mode but it has nothing to do with those scans. you basically said that kimimaru had byakugou and can summon katsuyu. the markings on kimmimarus head mean nothing, they probably have to do with whatever religion he is from and are simple tatoos. kaguyas could be seals but not byakugou. indra's are probably just weird shaped eyebrows.
thats all gai is doing and it seems to work.

Kimimaro had the bone kekkei genkai abilities before gaining the curse mark.
Because of their violent lifestyle, Kaguya Clan members typically didn't live for very long. It's part of their genetic makeup to live violently, but perhaps not part of their genetics to be long-lived. His illness may just be the result of age. Kind of like how certain breeds of dog are at high risk of cancer or other diseases when they reach a certain age. Disease manifested in Kimimaro because he lived a longer-than-normal lifespan.
The curse mark was applied to Kimimaro to see if it would extend his lifespan. His kekkei genkai was very desirable for Orochimaru, and Kimimaro was one of the very earliest curse mark experiments (because he was the one who recruited Juugo). Applying a curse mark was not necessarily for the purpose of enhancing his power.

Well I think this theory is well made and holds some merit at first I was about to disagree but when I read the entire thing I can understand your point and yes it's possible but she will not get sage mode in this arc, since it needs training same for Sasuke unless they doesn't exactly get sage mode but rather something similar such as sage transformation but you forgot another thing that Sakura would benefit from sage mode such as increase in strength speed reflexes stamina strength of ninjutsu and genjutsu as well as sensory abilities
Make exactly what a thing? Did you even understand what I am trying to say here?
I very much looked at Kaguya's eyes and I already talked about that in one of the other theories I linked in this one.Bottom left. She "catch up with them"? Whatever that means.
But since she has catched up with them, I doubt she will get SSM.You must be registered for see images
OT: Since you like judging manga scans a lot, I think you should look at Kaguya's eyes very carefully.
Beecaaause...?
That's not her only role as the manga already showed us that. As for Kishi having a thing with just talking, I would tend to agree to disagree here, but I guess to each his own.
Thank you, dear. Glad you enjoyed the reading. As for people, well, some are like that, some aren't. Depends on each case.
Hmm, Katsuyu is all about life and stuff like these so I doubt that's the case, tbh, but guess we'll soon see.
Haha, yes, I know it would be weird and I don't think that Sage Mode will be having bones, itself. However, given as both Kimmimaro's and Katsuyu's residence refer to bones, my guess is that SSM will help by enhancing the durability of one's bones, which would link the similarities in the names I talked about, see what I mean?
Yes, I know that myself, that's why I brought it up. Look at Juugo, he didn't need any sennin transformation either, because his clan kekke genkai to say it like that, it's the very sennin transformation. This could be very much be similar to Kimmimaro's clan case. They don't need to go through all that process because it's in his kekke genkai, while a non-clan person would have to undergo all the training, like Kabuto had to.
Not the bone jutsu would be a sage mode. The bone jutsu is a bone jutsu, however, the natural energy could be the one offering those enhancement to the jutsu itself. What Oro's curse is doing is taking out the chakra from the user itself, remember Sasuke's battle with the medical nin in the Chuunin exams?
What if slug sage mode allows for division?
Splitting up into many smaller versions of yourself just like Katsuyu.That could very well be a case, however, given how the two names are linked and what Kimmimaro and Katsuyu have in common is withstanding high damage, that is why I theorized that this would be one of the enhancement you get as a SSM user.
In the theory, I am mentioning how Kimmimaro's dots are similar in placement with Kaguya's and that Kaguya's dots seem to be highly similar to Katsuyu's lower tentacles.
With Indra, I was just connecting the eye make-up thing, on their lower part of the eyes. It's like a combination there, of Kaguya's dots (which happen to be similar to Katsuyu's lower tentacles as I said] and Indra's lower eye make-up.
Kaguya has horns on her head and so does Hagoromo.
People who gain certain powers gain the horns as well, like Naruto and Minato with Kurama cloak.
Obito and Madara with Juubi jinc powers.
The horns seem to be Kaguya and Juubi related and not Katsuyu related.Yes, but I wasn't talking about the horns here, I was talking about the other signs on Kaguya that seem not to be seen on anyone else, except Kimimaro.
Well, of course, to each his own. I am theorizing on this part, everyone is free to theorize on anything else.
I say it would be, indeed, best for Sakura to gain this indestructible skeletal structure because if the bones are indestructible, she doesn't have to worry about taking any damage, given how her organs could be protected by the skeletal structure.
Yes, but if you remember, in Kimmimaro's case, that was a type of auto-healing, which she can also get along the impenetrable skeletal structure. Of course, these are detail that remain up to Kishi to put together.
Well, Kimimaro could heal-up because that came along his impenetrable skeletal structure, so if she'd get that structure herself, the auto-healing comes in the same pack.
I am one of those who don't believe that, although he healed without hand-seals when he activated SM. I already explained that in the link from my sig.
Yes, Slugs are about healing, but they're also about high durability, nothing but chakra drainage killed them in canon, thing that kills anyone, no matter how powerful they are.
I am inclined indeed, to believe that myself, but I can't say for sure as I suspect him being more the Uzumaki ancestor, but he could be very well be the Uzumaki ancestor along the ancestor of Kimmimaro's Kaguya clan.
Thank you for your input, tho. It was really nice debating with you and hope my reply will clear some things up for you. ^_^
What the plots demands her to do. Like the plot demanded her to acquire Byakugo seal so she can heal an entire army, like the plot demanded her to be the only one who can keep Naruto alive and yadda yadda.
And you state this as a fact because? Who is to say Tsunade doesn't know? She seemed very well to know about Katsuyu's main residence along with Sakura herself. Therefore, your point is?!
Thank you, my dear! Glad you enjoyed it! <3
Because they have things in common, that's why. If you would've read carefully, you could've seen and if you would've had some questions about that, you could've asked.
Let's see if it's the case! Some of my theories already came to pass, so let's wait and see if this one will be the next. xD
No, I didn't say anywhere that Kimmimaro had Byakugo and that he can summon Katsuyu, please read carefully and if you have any misunderstandings I am here to clear them up.
And also, with Kishi's drawing nothing is unintentional and some of us should've learned that by now. He ties everything together.
Have you noticed that while almost insignificant and just a moon thing, to be very relevant to Naruto and Sasuke? The full moon and the crescent one? Some would say it's just a moon, but we learn that it's not. Same here. Kishi doesn't do anything unintentional.
LE: Responding to the other replies later. Gotta disappear.

That "thing" would be slug sage mode. What you're trying to do is come up with a way Sakura can be relevant in the upcoming battle, and it's just not going to happen.
I'm no Sakura hater, but if you've been paying attention to how Kishi treats is female char's and how the story is developing you can clearly see she's been relegated to the background like other side characters. Saskura's time came and went unfortunately.
And no amount of promo pics are going to convince me other whys (oh can't wait for Naruto wake up with his Elysium power suit next chapter!). Nor will you sell me by creating patterns where none actually exist (kaguya, kimmimaru, Indra and slugs). Sorry but drawing circles on things proves NOTHING, just check out Derp's old theory threads.
Maybe if you came with same actual manga proof instead of this superficial stuff, I'd be inclined to take your thread seriously, but you don't even address the key issues for Sakura having sage mode.
1. Large chakra pool (yeah she's about tapped out, even with the seal. Plus she couldn't have used the seal during training so where was the chakra needed then?)
2. Training (who trained her, when it happened)
3. Why Tsunade doesn't have it or used it.
4. Why Sakura didn't use it before.
5. Where Hashi learned HIS sage mode which doesn't seem to be related to slugs.

The story after chapter 670 is now centered on 4 Clans and 2 SO6P at one side the Uchiha and the Senju representing a failed past of one SO6P. The Uzumaki and the Hyuga with their SO6P a new world to come. So how is Sakura who doesn't belong to a clan and who Naruto and Sasuke keep having to drag along going to affect the over all story?
What I like best about Tsunade and Sakura is that, unlike Sasuke and even Naruto, they emulate Ashura in that they don't have a Blood Limit or dojutsu - nor to they possess a 'Sage Mode'.
I like that with ridiculous chakra control, years of hard work and dedication they 'bloom' into possessing a skill that equals their rivals. The Yin Seal enhances their senses and capabilities a hundred fold - just like Naruto's Sage Mode enhances his, just like Sasuke's Curse Seal.
It counters (rather nicely) Naruto's insane natural talent for Senjutsu and manipulating it and Kurama's chakra. Seen when he shares with with the Shinobi Alliance, he's emulating the SotSP's ideas best; to protect, to connect and share feelings/understanding between people.
I don't get the obsession with 'Slug Sage Mode' - it's not nessessary, nor have I ever seen any evidence of it. And what would Sakura do with it, that she can't do with the Yin Seal?
She's a Med-nin, not a frontline fighter. With the Yin Seal, Tsunade's techniques and her Slug summon she doesn't need a Sage Mode.
