So Kabuto and Naruto both can use nature energy to enhance themselves, in
other words they can use sage mode but when Naruto uses it his eyes become
like the eyes of a from. And when Kabuto uses it, HIS eyes become like the
eyes of a snake.

So my question is-

What is the difference between those 2 sage modes? Why does one make a user
resemble a frog and the other one makes him resemble a snake when both are
using natural energy?

What is the difference between Kabuto's sage mode and Naruto's sage mode?


It is known that where you learn sage mode affects it. Naruto and Jiriya both
learned from the toads, and because of how it was learned on Mount Myoboku,
they took on Toad characteristics. Naruto mastered it though, and as such only
had his eyes transform, but Jiraiya took on many traits, from warts to frog
like hands. Kabuto learned Sage mode from the Snakes in Ryuchi Cave, and as
such took on Snake characteristics.
[Jugo's](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Jugo) clan, or at least Jugo himself,
Absorbs it naturally, and his personal side effect was the darker personality
as he lost control.

As for Hashirama, we do not know where he learned Senjutsu, but the theory is
that he mastered the Slug variant, since that is the third of the triple
deadlock animals. However, Mitsuki seems to be able to use sage mode without
having learned it from somewhere. This makes it most likely that if you learn
sage mode from the Snakes, Toads, or some other animal that can teach you, you
take on their traits, and mastery limits those traits to the eyes. If you
learn it on your own, thanks to genetics or something else, you take on a
unique transformation, like Mitsuki and Jugo. The best evidence for that
theory is the curse mark, which is Jugo's method, but every user who
transforms using it transforms differently. Again, that is a theory that just
seems to fit somewhat.

Unfortunately, that is just about all we really got on it. Kishimoto did not
go into full depth of quite a few things, and Sage mode is one of them. If we
are lucky, then the Boruto manga might explain Mitsuki's Sage mode, and that
should fill in a lot of the gaps.
