He was a phenomenal shinobi from almost every aspect, and still couldn't pull it off. Even with Ma and Pa gathering NY for him, he still wasn't a "perfect sage". I really hope they won't give Konohamaru SM. I hope they just let SM be an unique ability and not throw it around like they did with the sharingan. Even Mitsuki having SM from a young age pisses me off.

And by the way, when Naruto put his hand print on the toad summoning scroll, there were a bunch of names written down, and i doubt that each of them acquired SM. Plus, Minato(who also summons toads) also admitted to being not perfect with Sage Mode, even though he was a prodigy.

If you really think about it, the only ones who actually mastered Sage mode are Naruto and Hashi(Both reincarnations of Ashura), while the only other ones who came close were Jugo's clan(and the CM users) and Kabuto. So it's not exactly needed fr Konohamaru to have a Sage mode, just because he uses toads, but as @KobiMomochi said, it would be pretty cool for him to have the ape summons of Hiruzen, and I wouldn't mind if he even would be a Hiruzen clone, considering everything, we didn't see much of him(And especially his prime) so if he turns out to be a clone of Hiruzen, then it's okay. Hiruzen's character should have been shown out more. And his summon should come back. This is my own opinion, though.
