When Sage Mode first started, people thought it'll be substituted by the Kurama Chakra Mode, like how Kaioken is substituted by the Super Saiyan, and people didn't think too much into it. But when it's brought back into the action, it became special, it became the only thing to counter the Yin Yang power. So, who knows. It's just my theory anyway. Georgio722 wrote: It's a possibility. The Toads didn't seem to exactly...hand out Sage Mode either. But the thing is, they are from 1 of the 3 known Sage regions. People still know this place, even though it's practically impossible to find by normal means. So if other animals have the ability of a Sage, I think people would know. There's no reason to believe a Biju can't be a Sage, nor does it rule out that Apes can't be sages. If Son Goku is in fact a sage, he would've used it in the battle with Madara, since other than senjutsu and taijutsu, it's rendered useless, and it took all of the Tailed Beasts to break off his arm. Six Paths Chakra seems to be the power of the Afterlife, whereas Nature Energy is everything else. I find it extremely doubtful that Nature energy would have similar powers, just as i find it extremely doubtful that natural energy originated from the Shinju. The Shinju accumulating Nature Energy? sure. Creating it? nope. Well, if Six Paths Chakra is the power of the afterlife, then the Nature Energy would be the power of the living (hence the environment and stuff). And if that's the case, then they should have equal power, because everything has a balance (ie. Yin Yang). Shinju is composed of Nature Energy and is the originator of chakra, and Nature Energy is a type of chakra, so it's logical to think that it originated from the Shinju.
