{"id":"senjutsu","name":"Senjutsu and Sage Mode","japanese":"仙術","category":"techniques","subtitle":"Balancing the outside world with one's own energy.","summary":"Senjutsu combines natural energy with physical and spiritual energy. Sage Mode demands a balance that no surname guarantees.","facts":[["Aporte","Natural energy"],["Condición","Balance and training"],["No es","An ability of every Uzumaki"]],"lvl":1,"sections":[{"h":"Three energies","t":"Senjutsu combines natural energy with the user's physical and spiritual energy. Jiraiya uses it in his fight against Pain, with the toads Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders: he learned Sage Mode on Mount Myōboku, but needs both toads to balance the natural energy. His appearance changes, with toad-like features. Sage Mode boosts strength, endurance and perception, though Jiraiya has not fully mastered it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-376","pos":376},{"h":"Naruto's training","t":"Naruto trains with Fukasaku on Mount Myōboku. The risk is serious: if he absorbs too much natural energy, he turns into a stone toad, as happened to others. Fukasaku stops him with a blow every time he overdoes it. Naruto achieves Sage Mode without toad features, except for pigmentation around his eyes, but he cannot fuse with Fukasaku because of the Nine-Tails, so he needs another method to recharge the energy.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-420","pos":420},{"h":"A time limit","t":"Sage Mode has a limit: the energy runs out with use and movement. Naruto reaches Konoha during Pain's attack, fights in Sage Mode and, when it runs out, renews the energy by dispelling a clone that was storing it. In that fight, one of the Paths is turned to stone by absorbing Naruto's natural energy. Sage Mode is not infinite, and it depends on how the user manages it.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-435","pos":435},{"h":"Other users","t":"Not all senjutsu users are equally effective. In the war, Naruto uses Sage Mode against the Third Raikage, and Kabuto gains a Sage Mode of his own in Ryūchi Cave, in a snake style. Each version depends on the place and the creature one trains with. Kabuto also uses other people's genes to boost it, something Naruto does not need. The natural energy is the same, but what each one does with it changes with their body, their training and their aims.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-579","pos":579},{"h":"Combinations","t":"Naruto learns to combine Sage Mode with Tailed Beast Mode, adding two sources of power together. Madara absorbs Hashirama's senjutsu thanks to his cells. Minato, who also trained with the toads, shows an experience different from Naruto's and Jiraiya's. Senjutsu ends up being one of the war's most versatile sources of power, but always with time limits and risks. Having senjutsu does not mean someone can sustain it indefinitely or use it the same way as another person.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-665","pos":665}],"characters":["naruto","minato"],"related":["chakra","kage-bunshin","rasengan","experimentos-de-orochimaru"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 409–418 and 430–435; chapter 665: Minato.","sources":[{"title":"Naruto: formación y vínculos, primera parte","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1610"},{"title":"Minato: el nacimiento de Naruto y el sellado del Nueve Colas","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1519"}],"figures":["
