Sage Mode


 * Name:
 * Type: Supplementary
 * Users Jiraiya

First, Jiraiya will draw additional lines on his cheeks.Then he summons the two Toad Elders (Ni Dai Senin) which, apparently takes a bit of time.

When the toad elders arrive Jiraiya's appearance is altered (he has a bigger nose, a goatee and his eyes are like a toads) in this form Jiraiya’s strength and speed is increased. When Jiraiya transforms to Full Hermit Mode he crouches and his body takes on even more toad like appearance, his hands and feet becomes toad-like, the lines on his face also become much thicker taking each side of his face. Since he was taught from the elder toads, he has formed in the appearance of a frog style. He will take the stance of the frogs increasing his speed, power, and chakra by tenfold. Also while Jiraiya is in Sage Mode, he will be able to use various jutsu that are extremely powerful compared to his original arsenal. It was revealed that the reason Jiraiya took a frog-like appearance, is because of the training method he used to learn Senjutsu. The fastest method of learning Senjutsu was the Secret Toads Oil on the Myobokuzan Mountain. It could help you feel and use Natural energy, but if you could not balance it, you would turn into a frog. Jiraiya could not completely control the natural energy and thus had a frog-like appearance when using Sage Mode.

This was used in Jiraiya's battle with his former student, Pein. Although Pein's absorption technique made little use of his attacks.
