Lizard Sage Mode

Lizard Sage Mode is the result of gathering natural chakra and combining it with the shinobi's own chakra to create a harmonious balance which immensely boosts the user's abilities.

Practitioners of this technique can gain characteristics like green eyes with slits similar to that of reptiles and green markings around their eyes, the mark of being a sage.

Usage

 * Main Article: Senjutsu 

A prerequisite to being able to use this technique is that the user must have a large amount of chakra supply themselves in order to manipulate the natural energy.

Advantages
This type of senjutsu learned from the Lizards of Reiketsuna Valley give a number of advantages when using Sage Mode. These are:

Standard

 * The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, and durability dramatically increase.
 * The power of the user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu increase dramatically.
 * The user gains the ability to sense chakra around them.

Unique

 * The user can sprout defensive horns and spines along their skeletal structure. These spines contain a paralytic poison that can disable an opponent for hours.
 * The user becomes remarkable adept with use of the Hiding with Camouflage Technique, to the extent of being able to completely erase their chakra signature as well as all other traces.

Disadvantages

 * Absorbing too much natural energy can turn a person into stone. A practitioner can avoid this by mastery of energy gathering, as well as knowing their own limits.
 * Exiting sage mode leaves the user exhausted, and more vulnerable until they can recover.
