Not to mention... 95% of ALL characters have Sage Mode -_- I mean, you guys want to know something? I was the first person on this site to EVER come up with a transformation that involved training with a specific type of animal. I called it "Fox Mode". Couple months later, Kishi introduced Sage Mode with Jiraiya, during his fight with Pain. So, naturally, I retconned my original idea into a Fox Sage Mode. But seriously, there is no excuse for everybody's characters having Sage Mode. I mean, for God's sake, it was a seemingly rare concept. Only THREE CHARACTERS (four if you include Hashirama, as of yesterday's chapter) have EVER shown the capability to use Sage Mode, so WHY is there literally HUNDREDS of Sages running around? I mean, come on!
