Isn't sage transformation a result of not being able to balance your own chakra with nature chakra? I'm confused x_x Um kinda its actually intentional, even if jugo doesn't intend to do something his "alter ego", the one who wants to kill everything, does and that "alter ego" is in control of jugo's Senjutsu. If it gets enough Senjutsu it can control his whole body. With the Cursed Seal this "alter ego" is replaced by a conscious piece of Orochimaru's Chakra.
