Madara literally said that he has the same power as Naruto, while Madara was a TTJ, which is Six Paths Sage Mode. He later tells Obito that Obito was able to steal his Sage Power because he had used Sage Mode before hand. People here are saying you can use Senjutsu without Sage Mode, but the Ryuchi Cave Training is to be able to successfully learn and use Sage Mode or the White Snake will eat you. Orochimaru succeeded and was not eaten, yet his host body failed to actually make proper use of the form. To get Senjutsu you get Sage Mode by either ALMOST perfectly balancing the chakra, or perfectly balancing the chakra. Jiraiya didn't have the perfect balance and yet he was still called a Sage, could use Sage Mode and Senjutsu.
