Sage ModeSage Mode is an empowered state that can be entered by blending natural energy with some of one's chakra, creating senjutsu chakra. Sage Mode allows users to tap into the natural force of the world, opening up new techniques to them and allowing them to power up existing ones with the new senjutsu chakra. Sage Mode is known to be taught in the realm of summoning jutsu, even if one does not have a Sage Mode associated with summoning.
In this realm one will be taught to perfectly master, use, and absorb the natural energies of the world in a attempt to make Senjutsu Chakra through the process of awakening Sage Mode.
In order to enter Sage Mode, the user must remain absolutely still in order to be one with nature and balance the natural energy with their own physical and spiritual energies, therefore converting their own chakra to that of senjutsu chakra. If the user puts too little natural energy into the technique will not work. Conversely, if too much natural energy is taken in (Attempting to tap into reserves higher then the users current skill level in Senjutsu), their body will turn to stone forever; humans will also be transformed into whichever animal/beast type summoning school the senjutsu was learned from.
Each version of Sage Mode a possess multiple ranks and levels of power one can access. This ranks of power range from D-S rank with each rank gaining more and more power than the last. To access each rank of Sage Mode one must meet the post count equirements for it as if it was a jutsu. (Cannot be purchased with EXP)
---------------------------------------------
While in Sage Mode:The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception, and durability are enhanced.
The user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become more powerful.
The user can manipulate natural energy to do various things:
- Those who have mastered the Sage Techniques of Non Summoning or Animal/Beast based summoning type have been shown the ability to turn the natural energy around them into an extension of their body to increase the reach of their attacks.
- Those who have mastered the Sage Techniques of the Animal /Beast based summoning types have shown the ability to use natural energy to breathe life into inorganic substances and control them.
- The user can sense chakra around them and can sense attacks without the need to see them.
When facing an opponent that can drain chakra, this can prove to be fatal to the opponent if they absorbed too much chakra and will be turned to stone if they haven't had training with Sage Mode in the past (follows the rule of sage mode activation).
Furthermore, the user of Sage Mode can hold still to absorb more natural energy for the opponent to absorb and turn their own chakra absorption against them.
The user can also replenish their senjutsu chakra reserves by returning back to the stance to gather and create chakra, or summoning SHADOW CLONES to ultimately gather the Senjutsu Chakra themselves.
To use a Senjutsu technique itself one must pay for it from the Senjutsu Chakra they have charged and stored up. In addition when a user preforms a normal jutsu in the three catagorys of skill (Nin, Tai, and Gen), the user can apply Senjutsu Chakra into the techniques, essentially causing the strength of the skill becomes one rank higher than its normal state in comparison to normal chakra using jutsu. (I.E Rasengan which is normally Deals A Rank damage will now be capable of dealing S Rank Damage.) In this instance the cost of the jutsu comes from the senjutsu pool instead of normal chakra reserves.
In some cases when using senjutsu chakra to enhance normal jutsu, it allows the user to enhance the jutsu even further allowing the technique to do something other than its intended or usage. (I.E Naruto being able to throw the Rasenshuriken) (The change or re purposing must be included on jutsu application before preformed in battle!!!!)
Types of Sage Mode:Summoning Based Sage ModesThis form of Sage mode is the most traditional form in the world of ninjas. This form essentially allows one to learn Sage Mode Directly from their contracted Summoning Jutsu animal or beast. Upon first achieving this form of Sage Mode the user will transform and exhibit the abilities and traits and sometimes the appearance of the summoning in which they had a contract with although this requires their summoning to make physical contact with the user and also help them gather senjutsu chakra. (I,E if your summoning contract happens to be a Cheetah on of the abilities you may possess may include something with its great speed... Upon Reaching the power of an A Rank Sage mode the user will no longer require their summonings help to access their racial specific abilities.)
Considering this form of Sage Mode requires the user to have a summoning contract with a summoning jutsu the Rank of the beast must be equivalent to the rank of sage mode the user intends to access. Considering this form uses an outside source to help master the Sage Mode the Word Requirements for the training for this form is deducted by 2 Posts for the ranks of A and S. If user fuses with their summoning or possesses Sage of Sixth Paths Chakra they will also be able to use jutsu related to both of those sources while in sage mode.
Boost to stats and abilities for each rank are as stands:
D Rank Sage Mode = Allows for the user to sense 10 meters around them. Increases chakra stat by x1.5 points while active. It also increases their Strength, Speed and Endurance by the power of this jutsu rank.
C Rank Sage Mode = Allows for the user to sense 50 meters around them. Increases chakra stat by x1.5 points while active, boosts all physical stats by the power of this jutsu rank. Allows the user to obtain one ability or trait from their summoning jutsu animal/beast.
B Rank Sage Mode = Allows for the user to sense 75 meters around them. Increases chakra stat by x1.5 points while active, boosts all physical stats by the power of this jutsu rank. Allows the user to obtain one ability/trait from their summoning jutsu animal/beast.
A Rank Sage Mode: Allows for the user to sense 100 meters around them. Increases the chakra stat by x1.5 points while active, boosts all physical stats by the power of this jutsu rank. Allows the user to obtain two abilities/traits from their summoning jutsu animal/beast.
S Rank Sage Mode: Allows for the user to sense 125 meters around them. Increases the users chakra stat by x1.5 points while active, boosts all physical stats by the power of this jutsu rank. Allows the user to obtain three abilities/traits from their summoning jutsu animal/beast.
-------------------------------------------
Non-Summoning Based Sage ModesThis form of Sage mode is extremely rare to most ninja of the world. It is incredibly difficult to master but is much stronger then summoning based sage modes. While in this mode the user gains a one tier boost to any area of thier skill system that they choose. (I.E. Ninjutsu Skill goes from Master to Grand Master.) This form of sage mode also allows the user to activate this skill within powerful forms such as Bijuu Chakra Cloaks or Tenseigan Chakra Cloaks. While in use with Bijuu Chakra Cloaks one must have first completely mastered and have grown a friendship with the Bijuu. If a friendship has been established the user's Bijuu can continue to gather senjutsu chakra inside the host maintaining the form for longer periods of time. Considering this form Sage Mode is much difficult to master then the last, one who seeks to master Non-Summoning based Sage Mode must add on 2 post count required to learn each rank of A-S. **This does NOT allow one to have additional abilities when making a custom form of this sage mode, UNLESS that form is registered as a LIMITED technique**

Jugo Clan Sage ModesThe Jugo clan is a unique case in that their natural chakra reserves are made up entirely of Senjutsu Chakra. Due to this, they can be the most formidable sages, as well as the most difficult to control. When their threshold reaches beyond their capacity, they go into a berserk state until it reaches below their maximum levels. When in sage mode, Jugo's gain an additional +100 senjutsu chakra. If they consistently use it, then there won't be an issue, but if they become stagnant, their chakra will overload and they will become berserk.
Juugo, as per being a sage based clan have two options, either they can use the mode for their clan (listed below) OR they can learn BOTH of the sage mode variations listed above, though it should be noted they can only use one at a time. Once they pick though, there is no changing it. and choosing the latter option doesn't remove their berserk factor.
D-rank: Allows for the user to sense 20 meters around them, Boosts all stats by x2 the chakra stat
C-rank: Allows for the user to sense 60 meters around them, boosts all stats by x3 the chakra stat, the user is able to create cannons and other weaponry by mutating their body.
