Juugo granting Sasuke's Susanoo with the rough equivalent of Sasuke's Curse Mark was dubbed by Orochimaru a "Senjutsu Susanoo", so we get this from in the series. Using Senjutsu chakra, even if not in Sage Mode per se, is Senjutsu. Sage Mode requires balancing that external energy, so anything lesser than that isn't SM, even if through unknown means the user uses the energy to up their power to a lesser degree than true SM.

I mean think about it, Jiraiya couldn't ever enter the true Sage Mode, but all his jutsu in that form are still considered Senjutsu.

Anything less is not senjutsu chakra, according to Fukasaku. I've seen this moment now.

Jirayu used Sage Mode, according to Fukasaku and third data book.

Yes, but where can we find this moment of learning how to enter Sage Mode based on the existing chakra senjutsu? Naruto immediately entered Sage Mode as soon as he formed the chakra senjutsu.
