 * Name: Sennin Moodo (仙人モード, Literally Sage Mode) Also known as Hermit Mode
 * Type: Supplementary
 * Users Jiraiya

First, Jiraiya will draw additional lines on his cheeks.Then he summons the two Toad Elders (Ni Dai Senin) which, apparantly takes a bit of time.

When the toad elders arrive Jiraiya's appearance is altered (he has a bigger nose, a goatee and his eyes are like a toads) in this form Jiraiya’s strength and speed is increased. When Jiraiya transforms to Full Sage mode he crouches and his body takes on even more toad like appearance, his hands and feet becomes toad-like, the lines on his face also become much thicker taking each side of his face. Since he was taught from the elder toads, he has formed in the apperance of a frog style. He will take the stance of the frogs, inducing his speed and power as well as his chakra by tenfold. Also while Jiraiya is in Sage Mode, he will be able to use various jutsu that are extremely powerful compared to his original arsenal.

This was used in Jiraiya's battle with his former student, Pein. Although Pein's absorption technique made little use of his attacks.
