Someone's got to be the first to find these places. I don't know if the Manga showed this too, but in the Anime Jiraiya performs summoning without a contract and is taken to Mount Myoboku. Georgio722 wrote: "Big Three Unexplored Sage Regions", {..}it's only logical to think that there's either only 2 or 3 Sage Modes. Or that they are only the biggest and most famous. They're called "big three". G8 is the "big eight" yet there are 200 something countries. Just cause the toad slug and snake regions are the legendary ones, does not rule out the existence of others.

Georgio722 wrote: But you did write that second sentence, so I was just trying to correct your mistake. What mistake? Sage Mode does allow the throwing of jutsu. Why Naruto could suddenly throw Rasenshuriken was never explained, only that Sage Mode had something to do with it. Even then, technically it's still true as Sage Mode's resilience allows for Rasenshuriken to be thrown. Not all jutsu need it to be thrown, but Rasenshuriken isn't exactly an ordinary jutsu.
