First off, Tsunade was attempting to emulate Hashirama's power, which Sage Mode can't do. Strength of a Hundred seal can. Secondly, she seems to have been wandering (like Jiraiya) for a very long time, so i think she never took the time to learn it. Thirdly, unlike Jiraiya who dreamed of power (to show his worth) and Orochimaru who dreamed of all jutsu, Tsunade dreamed of saving people (and thus creating medical-style jutsu) and therefore Sage Mode didn't fit her bill.

Lastly, it's possible that the nature of the Strength of a Hundred Seal makes balancing nature energy that much more difficult since it's a mass of chakra that suddenly activates, meaning you'd have to be pretty good at on-the-fly ratio adaption.

so I have a reason to believe that the Rinne Sharingan is actually the mutated form of the Byakugan Nope, it's not. The Byakugan is an eye that deals with the physical and vital things (Seeing tenketsu and seeing through the physical(x-ray)) while the Sharingan is an eye that deals with reality(seeing through jutsu) and the mind. Whereas the Sharingan only deals with perception and change thereof (genjutsu), the Mangekyou changes reality (reality-destroying Amaterasu, reality-creating Tsukuyome and Kotoamatsukami, Reality-warping Kamui).

The Rinnegan applies Six Paths Chakra to the (base) sharingan. Since Kishimoto seems to imply that Six Paths chakra is the power of death, it makes sense that the eye of death (Samsara/Rinne is the reincarnation cycle) has death-based powers.

The Rinne Sharingan however combines Mangekyou powers (ability to alter the fabric of reality) with the Rinnegan's Death powers to create an eye that does both. Not only can it completely overwrite reality in the objective sense (teleportation) it can also do it in the subjective sense (most powerful Genjutsu). However it seems Kaguya's (and by extension Madara's) Rinne Sharingan was an incomplete ocular jutsu. it seems Sasuke possesses a different form of Rinne Sharingan, more of a "sharinnegan", yet displays powers of the Rinne Sharingan (ability to negate IT, ability to traverse to kaguyas dimension via portal) while lacking others (God:nativity of a world of trees).

By that logic, and by using Kishimoto's love of symbolism (especially yin-yang), one can theorize that a Mangekyou Byakugan exists (ability to alter vitality and the physical). The Last confirms that the Six Paths Byakugan is the Tenseigan (just as the Six Paths sharingan is the Rinnegan). Following what i said earlier, Tensei Byakugan should therefore exist.

Lastly, before people start hating on controversial ideas, remember that the same Chakra reacts differently to different people. Hagoromo got a Rinnegan and Hamura a Tenseigan, both powers that Kaguya did not possess. Sasuke's Six Paths powers gave him both a Rinnegan unlike Madara's and a special ability unlike Madara's. Mangekyou give different abilities to different people. Hagoromo's power gave different abilities to Naruto and Sasuke. Eating the Chakra Fruit gave Kinshiki and Momoshiki different powers than Kaguya.
