Some people theorise Hashirama either has Slug Or Monkey Sage Mode, but I don't think this is right. I think Hashirama has pure Sage Mode that is not attached to any animal. Hashirama's cells are incredible. They bless him with insane regeneration and wood style. Wood style is special because it creates trees, which are alive. It creates life. Trees are literally nature, which means Hashirama's cells are in synch with nature. After Madara implanted Hashirama's cells into himself, he was able to easily use Hashirama's Sage Mode because those cells give access to a "pure" form of Sage Mode. It could be called Nature Sage Mode. Hashirama was truly built different.

What about the hundreds of stone toads that Pa said were people who couldn’t learn Sage mode and died trying? I think the reason there are more toad sages is simply because the toads will teach basically anyone they think isn’t evil and wants to learn how to do it. Not because it’s easier than the other sage modes

Also 3. Hashirama's sage mode on his forehead represents an actual log off a tree. His sage mode was a unique sage mode from nature itself instead of an animal. It's called "Wood Sage Mode" but he was the only actual sage of it known so far in the anime

Imagine if Tobirama learned Sage Mode along with Hashirama. Dude would've been even more of a beast.

I was pretty sure that Kabuto was able to liquify his organs because he absorbed Suigetsu's DNA/cells- at least that's what was implied. Although that does make it a very bizarre jutsu because only someone from Suigetsu's clan who was also a snake sage could use it and not be affected.

Can we appreciate that this dude doesn’t miss his schedule , juggles multiple channels and platform like he’s danzo with sharingans and still manages to keep the quality of his videos this good

Imagine Himawari having her own Sage Mode.

Following the logic that few people survive Orochimaru's Cursed Marks, and those people could be people compatible with taking on a Sage Mode, wouldn't it stand to reason that Sasuke not going on to become a Snake Sage is kind of a missed opportunity there?

I understand your reluctance to call Mitsuki a perfect sage due to his appearance but it’s been stated that he also uses Sage Transformation, which is Jugo’s ability. I think that’s why he grows the horn. You’ll notice though, that some times he doesn’t have the horn, which is when I think he’s only using Sage Mode.

The sad thing about Sage Mode is... we can't really compare different Sage Modes to each other, because we've never seen different Sage Modes be used against each other.

I thought that Kabuto didn't get Snake Sage mode from Orochimaru's cells but rather went to Ryuchi cave himself and, with his strengthened body that was modified by all sorts of things, was strong enough to become a perfect snake sage. He even calls himself a dragon because he's a perfect snake sage which is a reference to mythology that snakes can evolve into dragons.

I like that you always finds something unique to make a video with and never disappoint

It would be kinda cool if Naruto just kept sage of sixth paths under wraps for political reasons (to make sure other villages didn’t think he was too powerful) and just had it in his back pocket but then again when he lost Kurama you’d think he’d bust it out first

I think the "earth curse seal" works by boosting the innate abilities of the user(kimimaro kekkai genkai) meanwhile the "heaven curse seal" will give the user animalistic features based on their animal affinity, the heaven seal does nothing to sasuke's sharingan..don't know how far from the truth this thought is.

Remember when Sage Mode was Super Effective against Ten Tails Obito?

I thought Naruto could fly because of Six Paths Sage Mode, not KCM stacked with his regular sage mode, isn't that the whole reason why Madara and Obito were able to fly as well?

21:59 Hashirama'a sage mode is just Sage Mode, but in a technical sense he is a "life sage" or a "tree sage" since his sage mode is derived directly from nature. Also, I think the reason why Hashirama's wood style is so strong isn't because Hashirama is simply just really good at it, but because it is ALWAYS being enhanced by senjutsu chakra.

Im pretty sure that Ma and Pa on Jiraya’s shoulder isn’t exclusive to him, if I remember right it didnt work when they tried with Naruto before the pain fight because Kurama didnt like that naruto was relying on sage mode instead of his chakra

Kabuto can absorb nature energy because he grafted Jugo's flesh onto his own and he can liquefy his body because he grafted Suigetsu's flesh onto his own as well. Kabuto is a perfect sage. His body looks snake-like because of Orochimaru's flesh, not sage mode.

What always bothered me is how naruto is supposed to be weaker since the whole kurama incident…. But naruto is a perfect sage mode user and nature energy is literally endless energy because nature isn’t going anywhere.

i'll continue to say it, what if a Jugo clan member got sage training, like they'd be constant sage mode if they want to be constant controlled monster sage mode that looks like a curse mark stage 2 like, both powerful and aesthetically awesome

A mosquito sage would be terrifyingggggggggg

Sage mode is so underutilized. Hands down the most unique power up he got

Am I almost entirely interested in your Naruto videos? Yes. Have I been inspired to watch other animes because of your videos? Yes. Did I follow your other channel in hopes of more worlds to learn about? Oh absolutely. Love thus need stuff

I think the stick that pa hit Naruto with to expell the excess sage Chakra looked kind of like the black rods from the truth seeking orbs Madara used. Maybe that's the reason it was able to release the nature energy so easily. It's possible that the black rods were remnants left behind before humans learned ninjutsu. Just a theory.

I wish there were more different animal Sage Modes.

Would want to see dog sage mode. You would have to travel to the Pure Lands to learn it, because all dogs go to heaven.

Sage mode eyes are the most badass... it's not even all that complex looking like ms but still it give chills when naruto is really calm and activates sage mode..

My theory about hashiramas Sage mode always was that he's always pulling in nature energy (be it consciously or subconsciously) and he always keeps it minimal below the Threshold so he can 'flip it' like he always did. since he so much chakra it would take years to getting his chakra depleted low enough so that the portion of nature chakra would outweigh it. my second guess is that Woodirama is just stupid op haha

kabuto did not just have orochimaru's power he also incorporated jugo's power

I got the sense that there were multiple curse seals, not just heaven and earth. All of the Sound 4 had different markings, and references were made to heaven being the strongest and earth being the second strongest, which are weird ways to describe them if there’s only two levels. Kinda like saying you were the runner-up in a 1-on-1 competition. The rest of this is pure head canon but I figured the Sound 4 had like… fire, wind, water, and lightning curse marks or something like that. Then Kimimaro, as the leader, got the earth mark, and Sasuke, as the new leader and the latest one, got the heaven mark

The Rinnegan can't perceive Senjutsu attacks/ Frog kata. The only reason Kabuto could liquify his body was due to incorporating the Sound Five and Team Taka's (Except Sasuke's) abilities into his body. Not because of his Dragon Sage mode.

You do a pretty good job of making conjecture seem calculated. Another excellent vid in the bag bro 👊

Hey NC Hammer love the vids keep it up!! One theory video I thought of that I ALWAYS wanted to see was WHAT IF YAHIKO NEVER DIED AND DANZO NEVER INTERFERED WITH THE RAIN VILLAGE ? Always wondered how it would affect the akatski, obito, the battle and possible war that would arise from that, would the villages still unite, new child of profecy sooo many questions and if anyone has the answer it’s you lol.

U got one thing wrong. Kabuto did train with the snake sage in there realm

i definitely feel like you should talk about Naruto's "hidden abilities" like how he should be able to use wood style and possibly Hashiramas sage mode edit: the chakra avatar too would be awesome

I think sage mode is something that Sakura shouldve got if Kishi wanted to make believable that she caught up to the other two. Her chakra control is stated to be one of the Best in the series SO she should be able to Master it and also if sage chakra is molding Nature chakra with your own due to her huge amount of stored chakra in the byakugo seal should make her ability to mold sage chakra greater than anybody else's. And since the byakugo seal makes her body heal on a celular level sage mode wouldnt take a toll on her, just like Gojo using RCT to heal his brain to make up for the six eyes.

I think Hashirama's sage-mode was connected to his wood-style. Instead of learning nature-energy from animals, I think he learned it by studying plants, especially his wood-style.

Lol i ran into that orochimaru clip on my feed to 🤣 the one where he got the screen shot from

If you keep this up your gonna have so many accounts the first 20 minutes of your videos are gonna be “and on this channel I…”

Hashirama's sage mode is just pure nature energy. The guy was the only person to naturally have wood release. Wood is alive and his wood release, as far as I can deduce, seems to be more like senjutsu than typical ninjutsu. Which explains why it consumed Danzo who didn't have enough chakra to control it, or balance it out like senjutsu if you will.

I think Mitsuki's potential is so high, he's the embodiment of what Orochimaru was trying to do to himself.

Mount Myōboku does exist on the same dimension as Earth. It is mentioned that it takes a month to travel there from Konoha, so it is possible to get there without Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

I don’t think there’s only two types of Curse Marks from Orochimaru. Orochimaru mentions to Kimimaro that Sasuke had a Heaven mark, to match Kimimaro’s earth mark (or something along those lines), which makes me thing that those are just the two strongest ones, and the others are different but weaker

I always admire the effort you put in to making your contents and specially your what if videos and the way you explain powers and special abilities. Thank you so much for your time and everything you did for us. (btw I've always believed that the toed sage mode is weak in comparison to other sage modes)

I want more Sage Modes to be explored like animal Sage modes or even elemental Sage modes

Proudly subbed to all 4 channels. I fuckin love this dude. Lol.

"That spider mouth guy became a spider". shed some respect , my man

There is something I dont really understand, when Sage mode is just the molding of your own chakra and Nature Chakra, why cant all Sages do the same? Are there just different techniques and when you are learning from one animal sage you're just not allowed anymore to train under the other animal sages? I mean theoretically all sage mode techniques can be obtained, its all just Sage chakra, isn't it? PS: Could it be, that Hashirama obtained Sage mode and then trained to get differend techniques from different animal sages or created his own, I mean that wouldn't exclude the theory that he trained under the slugs.

Kabuto did learn the sage mode from the snake sage, not Orochimaru lol

I wish you made a video on Kakashi's jutsus or just his purple lightning

My theory is hashirama sage mode is an advanced version of slug sage mode. It's how kabuto said he "ascended" past a snake sage and claimed he was now a dragon.

We still haven’t seen the new sage mode.1000 years of wisdom I think it was called

Can someone imagine an Uchiha using Sage Mode?

I think the reason why Orochimaru didn't get eaten was because when the great white snake bit him, Orochimaru bit him back.

nick the back to back to back days of uploading with the new channel is amazing🙏🏽thank you for giving us so much stuff to watch

Yoo I’m the first comment

You are absolutely killing these videos as always. Thank you for your continuous hard work!

You also gain 6 paths sage mode by becoming the host of the 10 tails.

Man you are working 26k views on 6 hours. Honestly I haven’t enjoyed anime speculation vids like this since, Seth and chuck first came around, like when forevernever was on top, thanks for your work man.

Ma and pa bonding isn’t jiraiya exclusive. Pa explicitly says the only reason they can’t do it with naruto is because he’s a jinchuriki and the tailed beast chakra prevents them from doing it. So they can do it with basically anyone that’s not a jinchuriki.

Naruto: Hey madara! Madara: What?! Naruto: Stick! Naruto starts whacking madara with special stick Plot over

Piplup over there hanging with murders just like “so what’s your anime like?!” And then just listening in horror

Wouldn’t Hashirama’s sage mode be related to his Buddha statues. Like a “Buddhist sage mode” type thing? He uses Buddhist monk/god type statues/golems, as well as deity gates meant for temples. And his strong wood release and deep forest bloom/emergence could also be connected to the Buddha’s view of a peaceful coexistence and understanding of nature itself.

20:31 did you just flip me off😂

This was a cool video and it cleared up a little lore I didn't fully understand from watching Naruto. But most of all, it just reaffirms to me (from the end bit about sage of six paths mode) that there should've been more manga/anime about Naruto and not passing off stuff to his kid in a new subpar recreation of the original show.

C'mon bro! Kabuto is a perfect snake sage. Snake sages will always grow horns. It's symbolic of their transformation from one state to another. Basically a snake shedding it's skin to become a dragon. So by the rules of sage acquisition, Kabuto is a perfect Snake Sage.

Hey I'm a HUGE fan bro keep up the great work I love it.

Well to correct a small detail. Jiraiya actually got a weird nose, and his feet turned into whole frog feet and his very first move in sage mode was a frog leap with his new clog hoppers 🙌

Awesome content, very curious about what would have happened if sasuke learned snake sage mood, really interesting to see how the story of Naruto would have changed, especially considering that we kinda have an example of an Uchiha, being Marada using sage mode

Remember that theory that hashirama expels live energy for wood release wouldn't it make better sense that he has a special kekkei genkai that let's him pull in nature energy thus why Madera could use sage mode right away after having his cells, hashirama probably just studied and figured it out on his own maybe with some advice from tobirama or smth, also this explains why his wood is the only one that has leaves and what not.

“Basically it’s the worst flash bang in the history of flash bangs” Me with years of Call of Duty experience: My god. The power.

Hey I don't know if you ever thought about doing it. But ranking the ninja academy years as an whole. So like: Minato's Year Kakashi's Year Itachi's Year Naruto Year etc As doing them as a collective would be interesting.

Couldn’t Orochimaru possibly accomplish sage mode now that his host is a white Zetzu that was buffed with Hashi cells?

Don't forget that toad sage mode gives you near impenetrable skin. And alsoidk if it was ever comfirmed if the sensory abilities it gives you are general sage abilities or specific to toad sages.

2:41 Oooh! Yeeeeaaaah! Spread that chakra all over Mother Earth, baby!

1:07 my man just slapped stitch😭😭

Lmao here I am watching this video after coming home from a date at Disneyland wearing my all black Disney shirt 😂

Nature energy and an upgrade to sage mode is probably how naruto gets on par with otsutsuki higher ups

Hashirama might have special slug sage mode since his healing abilities is boosted past their normal limitations allowing hashirama to recover from his fatigue much faster which would explain why hashirama and madara were able to fight for an entire day nonstop

You sounded and looked ridiculous talking about ma's tongue jutsu🤣. Great video.

I like to believe Hashirama was a "Human Sage". Like, it wasn't an animal in the sense we normally think, but the human animal. If Hashirama did this sage mode wrong, he would have petrified as a human statue. Being the "Human Sage", would make a lot of thematical sense for who Hashirama was as well.

Damn usually don't get to hard into the actual specifics of an anime...but this well explained and kind of interesting at the same time

I wish we could've seen more types sage mode animals throughout the series, even just behind the scenes. I recently looked up what Might Gai could've looked like in his turtle sage mode. And another thing, personaly I've been thinking about a great type of sage mode, one based on a falcon, or othet hunting birds. It could give the user impeccable eyesight and alike that would rival that of a proficient Uchiha.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Sage art amphibian technique is not solely for jiraiya. The issue it solves is the maintaining sage mode which requires you to be still which is something that all sage users face as a problem or at least all toad sage users. I mean even naruto was initially going to do use it but kurama wouldn’t let him and later on kurama does it for him instead

You should check out Type-Moon Fate works. Magecraft, regional Magecraft variations like Philosophy Magecraft, Feng Shui, True Magic, Psychic abilities, Sage Arts, Pure Eyes and Mystic Eyes. You think you need Magic Circuits? It was stated that by following ones Origin many things can be overcome, even a lack of Circuits. It even has it's equivalent Jinjurikki in the form of humans with God corpses sealed inside them. Grail Wars and Servants may be center stage now, but it all started with Demon Hunters ans Mystic Eyes from Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai).

I've always thought hashirama would have the same sage mode as lady tsunade, being he has such incredible healing abilities and said to be able to heal himself in a instant. I think he was a perfect slug sage and lady tsunade was alot like Jiraiya sensi and wasn't perfect at it or couldn't use it properly and then she masterd the Mitotic regeneration/100 healing jutsu to compensate as one of the sannin.

I didn't think the toad merger technique was unique to Jiraiya. They tried to teach it to Naruto, but kurama wouldn't let the merge happen. Also, while the technique helps the user balance the nature energy, it isn't more for the user to be able to move while the toads gather the energy for them.

Sage mode is pulling chakra from the nature and Hashirama's wood style is pure nature element. He didnt learn it from animals, he has his own style of absorbing nature chakra, thats why his sage mode can boost his wood relise so much. Frogs can teach you how to absorb nature chakra in their own style, Snakes have different style. This means that animals needs to know how to do this to teach you if for example Dogs don't have their own Sage master, they cant teach you.

Nick's power scaling after a physics paper is what I need☺️

That means kabuto can control sand like gaara once he's in sage mode

Fun fact Tori actually lead up to shrines- not temples. That sound pedantic but the distinction is actually important. In Japan shrines are specifically dedicated to Shinto Kami. Temples are Buddhist and often lack the tori. It didn’t used to be that way, and the story of how Buddhism and Shinto both melded and was later separated is pretty sad.

“Naruto has some of the greatest variety in powers out of any anime” yeah maybe in the first half of naruto but after that if you don’t have a sharingan or are naruto himself, you’re useless.

Maybe Wood style absorbs chakra really well. That’s why Hashirama is efficient in sage jutsu. I say this because I always see Yamato’s wood style absorbing Nine Tails Chakra pretty easy.

So wait does that mean kisame just absorbed 2 much nature chakra from sharks and thats why he looks that way? And was some how able to make a transformation out it…….bro u gotta do a kisame part 2 video💯

I think people have pointed it out, but i think Hashirama had wood of Forest Sage Mode. As in his generation of trees through the wood release allowed him to basically absorb the nature chakra from them as he used wood release techniques.

This guy, DBZirman, Seth, swag, six, keep me occupied in my near infrared sauna.

Imagine uchiha’s were able to learn sage mode

The fact that Jugo could be happy if he lived at Mount Myōboku (and smacked with a stick every once in a while) but nobody can put two and two together is pretty sad.

I've been asking for one piece content for months😂 I'm glad it's finally coming
