The Sage of Six Paths and TRUE Sage Mode.

[Dantee]

This thread has some nice ideas in them +rep. I found it an interesting read.

Good theory ,but I feel slug sage mode would be for Kishi to stall if it's ever introduced. There is no point in having it in the manga now.

I completely agree although we can never know, dragon SM literally came out of no where. I'm hoping we see it within a few arcs, though.

Very nice, I was sort of having these loose thoughts about the necklaces, sannin and sage, and this tied them together in a logical, nice way, +rep ^^

but here he says that he has the true sage mode

the only new thing are the horns and his makeup

don't know why you think he hasn't the true sage mode
or do you mean DSM is better than SM?

i think they are both good but DSM don't stop after 5min

He says he's a true sage, not a perfect one. It's easy to misunderstand what Kabuto's been saying but by the wording it sounds like he felt that Orochimaru wanted to become a sage BUT since only Kabuto achieved it he basically says that he was the true sage between the two. Even without that it's fairly clear he's not a perfect sage, again the physical changes and large chakra markings lead me to believe that he's imperfect although he may end up perfecting his sage mode.

To respond to your new points, I'm not sure how to make this more clear.

Compare a picture of Jiraiya's sage mode to Kabuto's sage mode. Jiraiya's is an imperfect sage mode.

Now compare a picture of Naruto's sage mode to Kabuto's sage mode.



Ask yourself, which pair is more similar? If you're not being ignorant about it, you'll see that Kabuto's sage mode HIGHLY resembles imperfect - his markings are much longer and run from his face to his shoulder and he has a LARGE physical change to his body due to not being able to control the nature chakra. Naruto on the other hand has a completely different type of sage mode, the nature chakra is under control so only his eyes are affected and on top of that the sage markings are much smaller.

He does have true sage mode, in other words just being a sage, but he DOES NOT have perfect sage mode. The manga evidence shows this, if he was a perfect sage he'd look like one and would've stated it.

Awsome dude but are you sure the 3rd raikage isn't faster than a susanoo arrow

 

[Prince Charles]

nice job + rep.

Er... what? He might be but that has nothing to do with this thread, if you're talking about when Sasuke fired a susanoo arrow and it missed it was Kabuto dodging it. I really should link another page to clarify that.

did you see the difference?
it add only the horns and the makeup to his sm
there are no big physical changes

think about that
you may be wrong about that point

Not mad, just trying to figure out how you keep ignoring the obvious. I wasn't wrong about that, yes he does have the same weird purple eye liner stuff Oro had but his SM doesn't extend that, it covers it up and runs down his back. The big physical change isn't like a new body, it's similar to Jiraiya's. Jiraiya gained boils on his face, Kabuto gained HORNS. He gained a new physical trait from his sage mode which has only been seen in Jiraiya, Naruto's sage mode is perfect which means he has the nature chakra under control which prevents the chakra from changing his appearance by adding horns or in the toad SM's sense, boils. I'm sorry if you don't understand but I've made this perfectly clear - his SM is imperfect, he may perfect it later on but for now he is not a perfect sage.

I'm sorry but wikis are not a viable source. I don't care what the wiki says - it's random edits from people who probably don't know how to analyze the manga properly. You need to accept it, it's not perfect sage mode, you wouldn't have horns (a new physical trait) and large sage mode markings if it were. I'm sorry but now you're just being ridiculous.

I just laughed, you linked me to a wikipedia page as a viable source. I don't care what the wiki says - it's random edits from people who probably don't know how to analyze the manga properly.

wikipedia is more viable source
than your thoughts.

the markings are always different
when they change
then the user loses control
(read the fight between the old fart and pein)

But let's talk about the horns.
are they similar to typical snakes?
i mean the alteration
they have to be similar to a snake then!
do snakes have horns?

I'm not going to bother arguing against you, you're obviously mad and ignoring facts. Snakes don't have horns but he refers to it as dragon sage mode, re-read the manga, post a source that isn't a collection of random thoughts, and prove me wrong. You've done nothing but restate your points - please think it over. If I was truly as wrong as you think I am more people would've pointed it out.

someone became mad! xD
i believe you that you believe it

first i never stated that he has the perfect sage mode
i only say "you are wrong!"

you stated it yourself

.....

I wish I could give more detail but we haven't seen enough of it to say too much, from what I can tell though it does two important things: firstly it enhances the perceptual abilities a large amount, it doesn't have the huge strength but Kabuto reacted to and dodged a much faster attack than Naruto which brings me into it's second abilities, greatly enhanced speed.

...

that's why it's a mistake to believe you
we have not enough information to make that kind of statements.
your statement is a possibility like the slug sage thing

deal with it

It's not a mistake to believe me - it's a choice. When I said that we don't know enough to say much I meant that we don't know enough about its powers to conclusively say exactly what it does but we've seen imperfect / perfect sage mode so we can compare his to imperfect / perfect sage mode and his more closely resembles imperfect sage mode. It's not a possibility, it's a highly likely theory. Use your brain, not the words of random people. If the evidence doesn't add up ignore it but in this case my evidence DOES add up to say Kabuto's SM is imperfect.

Please don't post without valid proof from the manga, you've been proven to be wrong multiple times and I'm starting to consider your posts spam.

 

[Hatake Senju]

I think that you may have a point, but I don't necessarily agree. If 'true" sage mode was complete for anyone, how would you distinguish between the different teachers or sage arts? I think some of them would really overlap. I think that Kabuto has come close enough to consider it almost perfect if not perfect, if Oro couldn't quite complete it. There must be something that distinguishes the frogs from the snakes/dragons and snails. Horns just might be a way to do such a thing.

my 2 cents. good thread tho.

I was about to comment until I saw this post. We never saw oro transform into SM which is why I think kabuto said that he instead of oro got the SM or DSM but I do not think that it is perfect like Naruto's but more like jarai... Good catch.

correct me if I'm wrong about oro goin into SM

I do feel it's imperfect (thanks for not raging in broken English) but any opinions valid. I think the distinguishment is the eyes (toad sages have toad like eyes, snakes would carry the snake eyes, slugs... whatever slug eyes look like) and the imperfect SM would carry a feature of the animal, snake/dragon gain horns, toads gain boils, slugs would most likely be slimy. Also Oro never even received senjutsu training - he merely wanted it so I feel Kabuto's imperfect is still a giant step up from what Oro accomplished.

I'm not sure if when you asked about true sage mode and distinguishment how they became different, I feel it's because the animals all use a different aspect of nature chakra to form their SM's which even in perfect form are incomplete.
