As we know, Naruto (Jiraiya's apprentice) has mastered the Sage Mode of toads.
Also, Kabuto (Orochimaru's apprentice) has mastered the Sage Mode of snakes.
So, my question is, is there a Sage Mode of slugs (related to Tsunade)?

Is there a slug based Sage Mode?


The Sage Mode of the slugs is _somewhat related_ to the Sage Mode of Hashirama
Senju (First Hokage). He learnt Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Woods/Forest, a
legendary place that is equally famous as Mount Myōboku (toad) and Ryūchi Cave
(snake). It is the home of the slug Katsuyu, parts of which are summoned by
Tsunade and one of her disciples, Sakura Haruno.

Evidence:

In Hashirama's fight with Madara, it appears that he enters a _Sage Mode_
(bottom right corner) similar to Tsunade's, with a diamond shape tatoo-like
symbol in her forehead.

Though it is not explicitly said neither in the manga nor in the anime that
Tsunade enters Sage Mode, it is clear that Hashirama did.

I also assume that Hashirama used the Slugs-based Sage Mode. I noticed the
name Shikkotsu Forest/Wood, "wood" is in the name of the jutsu Hashirama used
- the Wood style. This observation makes me conclude that Hashirama is a Slug
Sage. I also noticed that Hashirama got a healing jutsu which the slugs used.
The jutsu was also inherited by his granddaughter (Tsunade-sama), who also
passed the power to her apprentice (Sakura-chan).

Sages use nature energy. Tsunades "100 healings technique" uses her own stored
chakra.

Also, Hashirama does not use the same healing technique. His is called
"Mitotic Regeneration" in his sage mode and it works by increasing the speed
at which his cells replicate through mitosis which replaces the damaged or
dead cells.

I'm too lazy to find the exact episode, I just watch/read a lot of Naruto..

I think hashirama does use slug sage, and I think that his wife mito uzumaki
tried to imitate him, but with out the risks that sage training has sense she
os the nine tails jinjuriki, and developed an jutsu, seal (being and uzumaki
which is a clan known for their seals) , to imitate what her husband learned
and created the hundred healings jutsu. I also think this because madara
stated that tsunade’s 100 healings jutsu was the same as hashirama’s, but he
didn’t use the hundred healings like his wife, or else he would have had the
mark, so you can say that these two jutsu are based around the same thing.
Slug sage. I also think the 100 healings seal is on the fore heal and spreads
all over when activated because Mito most likely tried to imitate the forehead
circle as well. So you can basically say the 100 healings technique is an off
brand slug sage.
