I'm not saying it's impossible that he learned it himself, but chances for that is definitley smaller than learning it in Shikkotsu Forest.

Some says why he didn't recognize Katsuyu on battlefield. I have 2 explanation: 1. He didn't have time to pay attention at all since he had focused on stoping Juubi from time he came to battlefield. 2. There are not only Katsuyu's in Shikkotsu Forest (are in Mount Myōboku all Gambunata's or Gmakichi's), and he learned it long time ago, so there had to be another slug queen or something, so seeing Katsuyu means nothing.

Some says why didn't Tsunade learned it ... having acces there doesn't mean u have to learn sage mode and besides she had her Strength of a Hundred Technique, or there is another reason why she didn't ... She didn't have chakra suitable for sage mode. Its a more logical thing but these guys think he was self taught.
