By doing so, you enter a stage called Sage Mode, in which your physical parameters and sensing capabilities are dramatically enhanced for as long as the mode is active.

When you use nature energy without training and without balancing it, you turn to stone.

In Jugo and his clan's case, you become a super powerful monster that loses its mind and goes berserk (leaving you vulnerable to all kinds of sneak attacks). Sage Transformation is a method, a process, it's how they take in nature energy.

The Cursed Mark is a variant/derivative of this.

So one can achieve Sage Mode via Sage Transformation, though it's not the only way.

Sage Mode is the most efficient way to use Senjutsu chakra. Simple as that. The choices are:


 * Increased strength, speed, power, durability, sensing capabilities.
 * Increased strength, speed, power, durability, and TURNING INTO A CRAZY MONSTER.
 * Turning to stone.

I don't think it can be explained any clearer than this.

At this point you're trolling.

Because everything I just wrote was either on the Sage Mode wikia page, or on this very thread.

"What is so unique about Sage Mode users compared to Senjutsu Chakra users?"

You answered your question yourself on the TOPIC OF THIS THREAD:

Enough of this.

LegionZero: you can use senjutsu chakra without being a Sage Mode user.

FlatZone: using senjutsu chakra brings the user to the Sage Mode state. You cannot use senjutsu without Sage Mode.

And I'm also called a troll, yes...

As far as I remember, Seelentau also wrote that senjutsu chakra is independent of Sage Mode.
