[Theory] Sakura’s possible Slug Sage Mode “Powers”

[adeshina365]

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 manga are you reading???? The Hygua's are a fodder clan compared to the Uchiha and Senju.....and the Uzumaki.

Please stop with your bull crap, trying to manifest Naruhina into the storyline somehow because its not working.

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.

Chatte is going to need to confirm/deny me on this one but if I recall correctly it is only with impeccable chakra control that one can master SSM. Tsunade is mentioned at one point to have been unable to master it because of this fact and we are all well aware that this is Sakura's biggest strength.

What would Sakura do with it? She would succeed where her master failed - Ergo surpass the previous generation which is a running theme of the manga. As far as what the abilities are they have not been showcased. I theorize that it has some connection with Hashirama and Mito (Hashi's sage mode - Mito possible Slug Queen) but this has yet to have been expanded upon by Kishi.

Spoiler

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?


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.


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.



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. ^_^

Thanks for your reply.
It did increase my believe in the possiblity that a slug sage mode, could use nature energy to infuse the bones into an ability like the bone jutsus, even though slugs dont have bones.
You might want to add a few points from your reply to me to your thread. It would strengthen your theory and prevent that people who read it, to have some of the same points/critisism pop in their thoughts as happened for me.

I still feel like Hashirama used Slug sage mode, also because his granddaughter has the slug summon and slugs seem to be about healing. Hashirama started auto healing, the moment he was in sage mode. The slug contract could run in Tsunade's family (from Mito or Hashi for example).

However, maybe one doenst exclude the other, and Hashirama could have slug sage mode and the sage mode could allow for infusing your bones with nature energy to control them. Hashirama could just not have been shown using it or didnt use it like that.

If Sakura can use the bone jutsus, than she would have a good range jutsu with the finger bullets.
Those wouldnt require much loss of lifespawn for Sakura (I do think Kimimaro's auto healing reduces your lifespawn as well, just as Tsunade her auto healing does). A film of bone beneath the skin wouldnt reduce Sakura her lifespawn either.
She wont be able to use as many heavy bone jutsus as kimimaro does though, because that would reduce her lifespawn plenty and that would be against your whole point for Sakura having it (to reduce her need to autoheal and lose lifespawn, because she isnt an Uzumaki who could afford it in a way.)
If she only uses a limited form of the bone jutsu, I dont know if that would reduce the awesomeness of the ability.
It might, it might not.

I still have a few questions though.

You believe Indra only has the similar make up (the small dot + the bigger dot clutched together) but not
the slug sage mode right? Or you do?
You think Kaguya had Slug sage mode and that she could use bone jutsus?
Would Sakura get the same markings on her face as Kaguya and the horns as well?

 

[Conspirator.]

NO-the chances of sakura getting slug sage mode is close to zero, and I doubt she has any connection to kaguya. Her chakra reserves simply aren't high enough to learn sage mode.....

Let's face it, her powerups are probably done and I doubt she's going to play a major role in any of the remaining fights left in the story.(Naruto and sasuke are going to the key players in the madara fight, and they have to fight as well-the sage is foreshadowing it with the whole brothers reincarnation stuff)

 

[Madara Uzumaki Uchiha]

I don't see Sakura getting Sage Mode without a time skip. Without Shadow clone spam it should take time to learn--- time that the SA does not have.

However, the biggest problem in my opinion about SM Sakura is the requirement that sage mode needs. You need a special body ( stated by kabuto) in order to obtain sage mode. Which makes sense, hashirama is a senju, naruto a uzumaki, kabuto obtained senju DNA.

Sakura Haruno is a nobody- unless it is revealed that she has some powerful heritage I don't see her getting sage mode while Tsunade senju was unable too. If the genius orochimaru was unable to get sage mode I don't see Sakura getting it. Minato, Jiriaya, Orochimaru were all unable to master sage mode--- if sakura is getting sage mode it would be a non-perfect variant.

However, if sakura does obtain slug sage mode, I don't think it would have the powers you theorize. Kabuto had snake powers but thats because of body modification not sage mode.

Considering what we know of sage mode- it doesnot provide powers associated with the animal it was taught by. naruto doesnot get toad powers from TSM,--- reread the chapter- sage mode provides enhanced tai,nin,gen justu. Interestingly enough, If sakura does get SM she would be "indestructable" not because of bone density but because sage mode enhances the body ( shown when naruto fell off a cliff onto spikes).

there is no indication that the user of SM gets animal-based powers,- Since naruto a perfect sage, didnot gain the ability to spit oil, jump like a frog, etc... we can assume a slug sage mode user doesnot get a slugs abilties.--- If sakura got sage mode, she would get the same powers everbody else has when they get sage chakra- ie stronger justu, enhanced body, increased perception sensing. thats it.-

I loved kimimaru- but I highly doubt he is relevent to the plot any more-

Good theory- enjoyed the read however--- Sage mode doesnot give the user animal powers,-- we know what it does, it would be no different for sakura....

-Even if it did,--- slugs providing bone based powers is a stretch considering they have no bone structure-- furthermore,-- according to your theory,--- hashimara had slug sage mode-- he never showed bone powers. lastly- Madara took hashi's sage power- so, Madara should have bone abilities aswell.

 

[Mr Hiru]

I like the theory. There are a lot of hard connections.

Hmmm... but plotwisely talking, what would SSM do, now that Gai is using the Gates? I don't find an use for this kind of resource. Moreover, Sakura's muscles/skins would still be damaged with this technique.

 

[Beatrix]

Bone jutsu... from Slug Sage Mode? That makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Joshutsu]

Bone jutsu... from Slug Sage Mode? That makes absolutely no sense.

Are you even looking at this from the point of durability at all? It's a more logical thing for a human in SSM to gain durability through the hardening of their structure rather than losing their bones to be like a slug.

It's almost like asking why snake sage mode doesnt make the user lose their arms and legs to slither like a snake.

Lol never gets old.

 

[Sombas]

Wish they had given her a sage mode, would have been real cool.
