Ascended Sage Mode is a unique variant of the conventional animal based Sage transformations. Instead the user focuses on a single particular nature transformation, and learns of it’s relation to nature itself. While this application of natural energy is not exclusive to Raiton, the only known version of this particular style is of the lighting element.
Usage[]
Advantages
The user's physical strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, perception, and durability are enhanced.
The user's Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu become more powerful.
The user can sense chakra around them and can sense attacks without the need to see them.
When facing an opponent that can drain chakra, this can prove to be fatal to the opponent if they absorbed too much chakra and will be turned to stone if they haven't had training with Sage Mode in the past. Furthermore, the user of Sage Mode can hold still to absorb more natural energy for the opponent to absorb and turn their own chakra absorption against them.
Disadvantages
In order to gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into Sage Mode, the user must remain perfectly still, leaving them vulnerable. Experienced users have at times been shown entering Sage Mode without this preparation.
Due to its emphasis on the raiton element, this sage mode is highly vulnerable to Fuuton based attacks.
Because the user needs to move during combat, the senjutsu chakra cannot be replenished, which means the user can't stay within this state for extended periods of time. Though with training it is possible to lengthen the time limit.
These weaknesses can be bypassed with the using of summons to gather natural energy with the user by partially fusing with them.
Another option is to employ shadow clones having them gather natural energy elsewhere and then, when their natural energy is needed, having them disperse, transferring it to the original. This limits the number shadow clones that the user can have active at a time to five for as long as the clones are gathering natural energy, as any more than that would disrupt the clone's focus.
If the user is also a jinchūriki that has achieved harmony with their tailed beast, they can drastically speed up their ability to gather natural energy in tailed beast mode to the point of only needing a few seconds to fully charge or recharge their sage chakra.
Unique[]
- Upon activation, the surge of natural energies into the atmosphere can cause weather anomalies such as lighting discharge, production of storm clouds, heavy gusts of wind and precipitation.
- While still supplementing techniques of other natures, this sage mode revolves mostly around Raiton and thus increases techniques composed of, or including, that nature.
