wasn't sage mode banned from the Chunin exams? (see Naruto vs Konohamaru Chunin exam fight) or was it just for that exam? This AND the fact that Orochimaru had said not to use it would mean that he wouldn't want to use it (if the ban of senjutsu is still in place of course). also Mitsuki might wanna keep sage mode secret.
