Plus, Truth Seeking Balls are not composed of Six Paths Sage Chakra, like how Toneri manifested Truth Seeking Balls only with the Tenseigan. This makes no sense. While i think it's safe to say there's a Slug sage mode, so far it seems the animal type only has superficial influence on the Sage Mode. Learning all three grants nothing special whatsoever. Furthermore, there are Sage Apes (i think Son Goku already confirmed that), so it's not even a thing to begin with.

Secondly, i believe Truth Seeking Balls require Six Paths chakra. The Tenseigan is essentially the Byakugan counterpart of the Sharingan's Rinnegan. How exactly Toneri achieved Truth Seeking Balls is unknown, but since we don't know anything about their conditions it's irrelevant to discuss There are no evidence saying that "learning all three grants nothing special whatsoever". Son Goku's name has the word "Sage" in it, because Son Goku is a character based on the character Sun Wukong from "The Journey to the West", which has the name "Great Sage Equalling Heaven" due to his power, not his ability of a Sage.

I believe that the Truth Seeking Balls does not require Six Paths Chakra. It's safe to assume that the Six Paths Chakra is based on the Rinnegan, as Rinnegan users can perform Six Paths Technique, which is not something a Tenseigan user can perform even though they did perform similar techniques.
