Read my post again, fully. The chakra from her seal is technically going into her system, but it is not stayinf there, she uses it right away. You have a main source of chakra in ypur body, which is comprised of spiritual and physical energy. Think of it like the yin/yang symbol, a circle of two equal parts of spiritual and physical energy that is in your body, and from that circular orb of chakra capillaries/veins of chakra go outward to the rest of your body. Basically like a heart, but for chakra and instead of blood its spiritual and physical energy. Now to use sage mode, you take in nature energy, and have to mix that nature energy with your physical and spiritual energy to create three equal parts, otherwise sage mode wont work, and you die. But since there is so much nature chakra in the world, and you cant only take in a little amount because of its quantity/power, you would need a massive amount of spiritual and physical chakra to be able to create those three equal halves.I don't know how one molds chakra for anything w/o it going into the system. I always thought it had to be "processed" persay hence handseals etc. If it doesn't go into her system, and thus into her "bathtub" then....
I dunno this is starting to smell like a plot hole. >.> I can't think of any manga chapters off the top of my head that deal w/this directly either.
You are right but Her fans keep ignoring the Sage requirement set by Kishi and this will lead them in the end to despair as Sakura never achieves Sage Mode,because they don't want to follow the rules set by Kishi. They make up their own rules.Read my post again, fully. The chakra from her seal is technically going into her system, but it is not stayinf there, she uses it right away.

Now that is why byakugou seal wouldnt work. It is sakuras chakra yes, but it is not a part of that heart like orb of spiritual and physical chakra that is her main source of chakra anymore. Yes the seal most likely releases chakra into the cappilaries/veins of chakra in her body, but not her chakra "heart". Byakugou basically acts as another chakra heart, but not her main one, not the one nature energy would mix with. Plus i think the energy stored in it is already molded into chakra, and not physical and spiritual energy. Nature energy mixes with physical+spiritual energy to create sage chakra. If byakugou has chakra in it, and not a stored amount of physical and spiritual energy, it couldnt be used to create sage chakra in the first place. Spiritual energy + physical energy + nature energy = sage chakra, not chakra + nature energy = sage chakra.
Even so, lets say byakugou seals spiritual and physical energy, in its own chakra "heart". She would have to move all of that to her main chakra "heart", so really she would have to absorb nature energy, and mix her main spiritual and physical energy with it, which is extremely difficult in the first place, and also be moving other energy from one part of her body to another, basically it would be like creating four equal parts, which is probably impossible. Anyway thats only if byakugou seals the physical and spiritual energy part of chakra, and not chakra itself. Which im pretty sure it doesnt do, it seals molded chakra. She cant unmold chakra back into physical and spiritual energy, which is what mixes with nature energy to form sage chakra, so she cant use it for sage mode anyway.
-enhanced strenghtShe doesn't have sage mode and what good would it do her.
I have a hard time with this because there is just NOT enough information in the manga to make an accurate call about what the seal does/doesn't do in her chakra system. You say the seal acts as another chakra heart. That's an assumption. A good one, but no confirmation. For all we know the seal could also hold an infinite amount of nature chakra.Read my post again, fully.

That's like saying Sasuke is the Hawk Sage simply because he summoned a hawk during his fight against Danzo. You're simply making threads based on your own preferences and what you would like to see, and not at all based on what Kishi has given. As tingun argued, handclapping =/= Sage Mode.Oh, dear... this again.
Orochimaru was explained WHY he didn't learned it. Due to his condition.
With Jiraiya, we saw.
Have you even guys noticed the Animal Trinity has some specifications for even summoning them? Frogs ask lots of chakra, Snakes ask for bodies, which, funny enough, that was the requirement for Dragon Sage Mode -> to have a strong body.
While with Slugs, we never knew. They just seemed to hand it freely.
Each Animal trinity had a different requirement so why wouldn't their respective Sage Mode have one?
Yes, there is a possibility. Shikkotsurin didn't come to play right now for nothing, don't you think?
I guess we will wait and see.
Well, you see, the thing is that Sakura wasn't shown with elemental ninjutsu or hinted at, whereas her affiliation with Slugs make it possible...
Maybe in an epilogue, but during the course of this battle? Nah.Its obvious for me that Sakura will suprass Tsuande before manga ends, and thinking logically slug Sage Mode is the most probable option. Still, I dont think it will happen so fast, she just got her Yin seal.
Before the epilogue so we will see her in action, thats for sure. Rapid self-regeneration is the only thing she lacks compared to Tsunade.Maybe in an epilogue, but during the course of this battle? Nah.
For now, that is. Everyone can see that she doesnt trust Sasuke, its clear for me that she will play very vague role in the next chapters.Sakura got her 15 minutes of fame, Kishi has already pushed her to the sidelines.
