I was re-reading the manga and I came across something interesting.(the main reason is near the bottom)
as we all know there are only 2 known sage modes atm.....Snake and Toad.
It was also theorized at one point that there may be also slug(since tsunade is part of that trio)
Some people also theorized monkey due to emna being a talking animal and partnering with Hiruzen, who taught the sannin.
We see that hiruzen moved a lot like a monkey, similar to how Orochimaru moves like a snake, meaning he trained with monkeys.
"fun fact"
with enma turning into a staff and hiruzen wielding it.....it was a pun on the "monkey king" character from the famous chinese literature "journey to the west"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the toads and snakes have a specific region
Now we know that there are two main head sage animals so far
The White Sage Snake of the Ryuchi cave
and The Great Toad Sage of Mount Myobuku
now then as for the monkey sage, Son Goku calls himself the Sage King of the Apes of the Suiren Caves
So not only does he say Ape Sage, but also Suiren Cave(a location just like the snakes have Ryuchi Cave and toads have Mount Myoboku)
This is a pretty big indication that there is in fact such a thing as Monkey Sage Mode.
