Senjutsu refers to a specialized field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather the natural energy around a person.
Senjutsu practitioners can then learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them blending it with their own chakra (, adding a new dimension of power to the sage's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra". This chakra cannot be seen by anyone other than those who have been trained in senjutsu. This new chakra enables the user to enter an empowered state called Sage Mode, which can then drastically increase the strength of all ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. A person who is able to use senjutsu is called a sage.
Only those who already possess "extreme chakra levels" can utilize natural energy to invoke senjutsu.
The user is required to balance his/her physical and spiritual energy with the natural energy he/she gathers from nature. If the user puts too little natural energy into using senjutsu, the technique will not work. While gathering natural energy, the gatherer must remain absolutely still in order to be one with nature. If the user takes in too much natural energy, the user will start to turn into their animal guide and, eventually, turn to stone.
Getting hit by a special staff during the transformation will reverse the transformation by knocking all the natural energy out of the gatherer. It is dangerous to learn how to gather natural energy without the staff because there is no other known way to reverse the toad transformation. Furthermore, if the transformation is completed, not even the staff can reverse it, and the user would become a statue forever.
If the practitioner can achieve a perfect balance between the physical and spiritual energies of their own chakra, and the energies of nature, they can produce a new and stronger chakra, called "senjutsu chakra".
Those who are able to learn to use senjutsu are able to enter a physical state called "Sage Mode". When active, Sage Mode increases the user's strength and speed, as well as augments the power of their techniques.Their physical appearances usually change when in use of their sage mode. Snake sage form specifically results in dark pigmentation under the eyes, as well as the growth of small horns.
