by

This article contains spoilers from Naruto’s final war.

Summary

  • Sage Mode harnesses natural energy, boosting physical attributes and jutsu power.
  • Naruto Uzumaki mastered Sage Mode, achieving instant access and extended duration.
  • Sage Mode evolved into Six Paths Sage Mode, enhancing Naruto’s abilities in battle.

In the Naruto saga, viewers have witnessed an array of astonishing skills being employed by various ninjas. Some are proficient in close-combat, or physical techniques, while others specialize in weapon usage. There are experts in nearly every category of ninja art, and as fans discovered during the latter half of Naruto, there are also practitioners of Senjutsu. The application of Sage chakra for jutsus leads to Senjutsu, which can essentially amplify any Jutsu, including Ninjutsu, physical techniques (Taijutsu), and even Genjutsu.

In most cases, people can access this ability when they reach a state known as Sage Mode, but achieving this isn’t simple. For Naruto Uzumaki, mastering Sage Mode was crucial, and he had been working towards it since his youth. Before his first encounter with Pain, the leader of Akatsuki, Naruto learned Sage Mode rather quickly. Over time, he honed this skill to extraordinary levels, and by adulthood, Naruto Uzumaki is considered the most proficient user of Sage Mode in the story. In fact, his mastery over Sage Mode continued to improve and strengthen, setting him apart from all other characters in the narrative. By maturity, Naruto’s Sage Mode was on a completely different level compared to its earlier stages.

What Is The Sage Mode?

  • A Unique Power That Utilizes Natural Energy
  • A Heightened State Achieved Through Transformation

It’s clear from the name that Sage Mode is a state where a user becomes one with nature and can draw upon natural energy. To achieve this mode, a person merges their personal chakra with natural energy, creating a special chakra within their body known as Senjutsu chakra. The power in nature is boundless, so Sage Mode enables the user to access an entirely new level of strength that would typically be unattainable. In essence, Sage Mode significantly amplifies the user’s abilities across the board.

Speaking about physical prowess, it surpasses the typical abilities of a ninja by quite a margin. Their energy levels, drawing from an infinite source, soar to unprecedented heights, amplifying their physical attributes like strength, speed, resilience, and endurance to an entirely new dimension. However, this isn’t the only aspect that gets elevated. The power of any jutsu they use also receives a significant enhancement. For example, a standard jutsu might be potent enough to create a hole in a wall, but one empowered by Senjutsu would have the capability to demolish the entire wall itself, such is the disparity in power.

Absolutely, gaining access to Sage Mode isn’t a walk in the park; it’s a highly advanced transformation that demands dedication and practice over several years from those who strive for it. Even then, not everyone may make it through the grueling training process. In fact, Jiraiya, Naruto’s former teacher, struggled to perfect his Sage Mode as well.

How Naruto Learned Sage Mode

Naruto Learned Sage Mode After Jiraiya’s Death

In the story, Naruto Uzumaki couldn’t access Sage Mode until a significant point when it became necessary. The catalyst was Jiraiya’s death at the hands of Pain, which prompted Naruto to confront Pain personally and significantly boost his power. He achieved this by training under Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima on Mount Myoboku, where he learned the methods of the Toad Sage Mode.

Absolutely, it’s not just about going through the training; users need to remain still, focus, and learn to sense the natural energy in their surroundings. Initially, the Toads of Mount Myoboku employ a unique oil that enables passive absorption of wise energy, but this isn’t essential later on.

On Mount Myoboku, Naruto experienced intense training that enabled him to harmonize with nature’s essence and skillfully combine natural energy with his own, mastering Senjutsu chakra. Once he achieved seamless coordination, Naruto developed distinctive orange markings around his eyes – a symbol of a true sage’s attainment.

Indeed, using Sage Mode has its challenges too. Firstly, maintaining it requires the user to remain motionless at all times while continuously manipulating sage chakra. Traditionally, this is managed by Fukasaku and Shima, who attach themselves to the user’s shoulders, as they did with Jiraiya. However, due to Naruto Uzumaki having Kurama within him, Fukasaku and Shima couldn’t perform their duty in the usual way. Instead, Naruto had to rely on his shadow clones to knead the energy for him, then dismiss them to access the chakra that had been prepared.

How Naruto Upgraded The Sage Mode

Naruto Uzumaki Mastered The Sage Mode Beyond All

Initially, Naruto Uzumaki’s transformation into Sage Mode wasn’t very swift. It took Naruto a few minutes to activate Sage Mode, but as time passed, the time needed decreased significantly. For example, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto entered Sage Mode almost immediately, indicating greater control over his powers. Additionally, his Sage Mode lasted longer, making him considerably stronger overall.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Naruto successfully merged Sage Mode with Tailed Beast Chakra Mode, significantly amplifying his abilities. This newfound strength enabled him to resist the influence of the Rinnegan. But wait, there’s more! After this fusion, Naruto tapped into the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths. This extraordinary energy granted him Six Paths Sage Mode, a supercharged version of Sage Mode only achievable through Six Paths chakra. With this power, Naruto gained the ability to fly and summon Tailed Beast Balls. In the Naruto universe, there was no greater display of power by Naruto Uzumaki than with this capability. It elevated him to a level where he could engage in combat with formidable opponents like Madara Uchiha and even Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In his maturity, Naruto’s mastery over Sage Mode significantly enhances, reaching unprecedented levels. He swiftly enters Sage Mode in mere seconds and maintains it for extended periods. Leaving behind his familiar clones, Naruto Uzumaki is equipped to engage in prolonged battles using shadow clones, a unique trait that sets him apart. By adulthood, it’s clear that Naruto Uzumaki was unquestionably the most proficient Sage Mode user globally.

Now that he no longer possesses Kurama, his sole source of power is Sage Mode, and fans anticipate its significance in future battles once Naruto Uzumaki is liberated from Daikokuten and ready to fight again. The excitement among fans grows as they eagerly await his return and envision him confronting formidable adversaries using his enhanced Sage Mode.
