Secondly, the three places were called legendary, but it's never explained why, nor is it explained or confirmed that they are the only three places. It could simply be that other places exist, unknown to the ninja world. Or considering we have *ninja* cats and *ninja* dogs, they simply do not wish to be known and/or found. But that doesn't mean people knew about senjutsu and Sage Mode only after the Sannin showed them. In fact, only Jiraiya was able to use senjutsu and Sage Mode, since Orochimaru can't go into Sage Mode, thus not able to use senjutsu, and he doesn't use it in front of people because "it displeases the ladies". And, if no one knew, then the Sannin wouldn't be able to find these places in the first place. Plus, the places are not called legendary, they're called the "Big Three Unexplored Sage Regions", and since Kishi based these things on religion and balance and stuff, it's only logical to think that there's either only 2 or 3 Sage Modes.

Thekillman wrote: Sage Mode naturally strengthens the body and allows for special abilities like throwing jutsu. But you did write that second sentence, so I was just trying to correct your mistake. Thekillman wrote: Toad Oil is unique to Myuboku (or however you spell it) and Toads simply use it as a jutsu, i never considered it unique to their sage mode. But you do need to go into Sage Mode to use these oil. Thekillman wrote: I've been wondering, where did they say that nature energy is actually chakra? Senjutsu requires nature energy to be mixed in with chakra to make sage chakra. At what point was nature energy ever called chakra? I vaguely recall a filler episode with nature energy, but did they call it chakra? Well, I'm just thinking, plants don't have Spiritual and Physical Energy right? If that's the case, then Shinju doesn't either, since the Shinju is a plant as well, and since he's composed of Nature Energy, then I'm guessing you can create chakra using solely Nature Energy.
