Naruto & Jiraiya Sage Mode

Naruto & Jiraiya Sage Mode  ~ Sage Mode is the result of using natural energy along with a ninja's normal chakra to drastically empower all their abilities.

Perfect Toad Sage Mode

Naruto in true toad Sage Mode — the pigmentation around his eyes being the mark of a true sage.

Unlike Jiraiya, Naruto is able to perfectly balance the natural energy with his own chakra. This allows him to use the true Sage Mode, which retains all of his normal physical characteristics except for toad-like eyes: yellow irides, horizontal bar-like pupils, and reddish-orange pigmentation around the eyes; the mark of a true sage on each eye. A true sage would still suffer from the weaknesses of Sage Mode, requiring that they use Sage Art: Amphibian Technique in a battle situation. Because of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox sealed within Naruto, however, Fukasaku was rejected whenever he tried to fuse with him.

There are numerous advantages while using toad Sage Mode. These include:

• The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, and durability dramatically increase.
• The user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become more powerful.
• The user can harness the natural energy surrounding them, turning it into an extension of their body, which increases the reach of their attacks.
• The user gains the ability to sense chakra around them.
• Disadvantages  

There are a few disadvantages while using toad Sage Mode. These include:

• If the user draws in too much natural energy in the attempt to initiate Sage Mode, they run the risk of transforming into a toad, then into stone. If the transformation is completed, it cannot be reversed.
• In order to gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into Sage Mode, the user must remain perfectly still. Because of that, the user can be an easy target for an opponent.
• Because the user needs to move during combat, the senjutsu chakra cannot be replenished, which means the user can't stay within this state for extended periods of time.
• The second and third weaknesses mentioned above can be bypassed through the Sage Art: Amphibian Technique, where one Sage gathers chakra for another or as in Naruto's case, shadow clones can be used for the same purpose.
• After Sage Mode has ended, the user appears to experience exhaustion.
