I think it's entirely possible that Hashirama learned sage mode himself. Possible.

Isn't sage transformation just when senjutsu chakra distorts your body? Like when the curse seal pours the senjutsu chakra into the user and it changes their body? Or when Jiraiya starts turning more toad-like?

Isn't sage transformation a result of not being able to balance your own chakra with nature chakra? I'm confused x_x
