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.
Awesome fine U r making awesome threads..Plz send me links when u create thread I would love to read them...Take Bow...
Oro = Snake
Snake Sage mode
Jiraya=Frog
Frog Sage mode
Tsunade = Slug
???Slug Sage Mode???
Hiruzen = Monkey
Monkey Sage mode? It exists. But who would have it? What relevance does another Sage Mode have to the story now?
Why not explore Hawk Sage Mode?
from what we know, sage mode is only possible form animals that talk.......we didn't see any hawks talk yet
Sasuke CC2 Is a weaker version of Sage Mode.
Logically in the time he did have the cursemark he had 'Hawk Sage Mode'.
I could see this as being a possibility. Just who on Earth could use it since Hiruzen is dead![]()
from what we know, sage mode is only possible form animals that talk.......we didn't see any hawks talk yet
where did you get that information? we have seen so many summons that can talk like kakashis dogs or gai's tortoise..probably tehre are a lot more...
yeah but from the 2 sage modes we do know, the animals talk.
We don't know of a sage mode with animals that don't talk.
Hawks didn't talk yet
Yes many animals do talk which is one feature of sage animals, but that is all we know and there no other info that supports those animals with sages
even though i do think the other sage animal can talk too,the way you put it is makes me confused..In this condition, it can be any animal,maybe monkey as you said
I think it makes sense, as it is speculated that Tsunade's slugs have a sage mode, and we know Oro's snakes and Jiraiya's toads did, and since Hiruzen was their sensei it fits that the animal he was linked with would have SM also. Plus your evidence is good as well! Nicely done.
except with monkeys there more evidence, hence thread on them
