Note: This is the most original theory about the Sage's lineage ever posted, so to all members who are fans of the Uzumaki or Senju lineage theory, PLEASE READ ENTIRELY BEFORE ARGUEING ITS VALIDITY.
**************************************************************************************
______________________________________________________________________________
THEORY: The Sage of Six Paths was born into the same unknown family/clan as Juugo. Just like Juugo's Clan, the SO6P was a person who was naturally peaceful but unable to control his random RAGE. My theory is that the SO6P first sought peace for HIMSELF, which in turn fueled his desire to seek peace for the entire known world (during the worst time of endless war).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "BODY" of the Sage actually refers to the "body" of Juugo's Family/clan. Juugo's "body" itself can naturally perform something called SAGE TRANSFORMATION:
This is why the Sage's first descendent of this "body" is shown with an Aura around his body--the Younger Son inherited the ability to naturally absourb Nature Energy (without the RAGE side-effect):
Same Aura is seen with the SO6P himself:
Same Aura is seen with Kabuto, after becoming a Dragon Sage:
--------------------
Orochimaru sought after the source of Juugo's uncontrollable rage (and POWER) and discovered the Dragon Cave. He discovered the cave by learning the origin of Juugo's unknown family/clan.
This is why Kabuto makes the statement that he is "the closest to the Sage of Six Paths"... he knew he gained the power of the Sage's "Body", which in turn is the same body of Juugo's Unknown Clan:
--------------------
The Sage of Six Path's face is never shown. But... we always see only one noticable fact shared with Juugo's Clan: Horns
Take note of the Horns grown from Kabuto's Dragon Sage Mode:
And the Horns from the Gold & Silver brothers, who were said to be of relation of the SO6P:
And finally the Horns on Juugo's Clan itself:
--------------------
Juugo's Clan was known for its ability to naturally absourb natural energy, but in turn have uncontrollable outbursts of RAGE. This could be partially "controlled" by sealing techniques (hinted by Kishi when Kakashi sealed Sasuke's cursed seal) and fully "controlled" by removing all hate from his soul (i.e. Training at the "Waterfall of Truth"), which oddly happens to be a prerequisite for successfully being able to become a "Perfect Jinchurriki":
Juugo was called "of the Scales" because of his two personality traits, Uncontrollable Rage/Hate (Uchiha) and Love/Peace (Senju) which was passed down to his two sons, respectfully:
Senju/Uchiha Love/Hate Ideology:
Senjutsu contains the name SENJU because the Art itself is derived from this ability to absourb and use nature energy (Note the Aura of Nature energy):
--------------------
CONCLUSION: This is why Juugo remains a relevant character in the manga, and why his family lineage remains (somewhat) a mystery. This is why both Orochimaru and Kabuto sought after his DNA/Sage Powers. This is why Juugo's BODY is referred to as the natural ability of SAGE transformation, and why his entire family grows horns when they transform. Juugo Clan's "body" connection with the White Snake Sage is the reason he is able to communicate with animals (nature). This is why Orochimaru's True Form (after attempting to become a Dragon Sage) is a White Snake. Juugo is a naturally peaceful person, one with nature, but has been unable to control the Rage from absourbing natural chakra.
************************************************************************************
Special Note: It is painfully obvious that the Sage must have known sealing techniques BEFORE he "sealed" the Juubi... this is why most people think he was from the Uzumaki Clan. We can even see (below) Kushina states that the Uzumaki Clan is a "Distant Blood Relative" of the Senju Clan. BUT... my theory is that the Sage was intimately involved with (possibly even TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN Uzumaki/Huuga hint, hint) OBVIOUSLY an Uzumaki Woman! Just like Minato, the SO6P learned sealing techniques from the Uzumaki Clan and created his own version--the Jinchurriki Seal. The Uzumaki Clan is known to be a "close blood relative" of the Senju Clan, but NOT the Uchiha... how could this be possible if the Sage is an Uzumaki himself...? This natural ability to absourb nature energy, PLUS the LEARNED knowledge of Fuinjustsu would make him the perfect candidate to become the Juubi Jinchurriki!
