Chakra Moulding Diagram (Senjutsu) — The three elements of senjutsu chakra.

Senjutsu (仙術, English TV: Sage Jutsu, literally meaning: Sage Techniques) is a specialised field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra. This adds a new dimension of power to the practitioner's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura). Senjutsu is uniquely invulnerable to Truth-Seeking Balls.^[1]

Those that can absorb or manipulate senjutsu chakra are known as sages (仙人, sennin). Generally, senjutsu chakra cannot be used by those untrained in senjutsu; those who are enter a form called Sage Mode, increasing their physical parameters for as long as the mode is active. Because of the steep prerequisites of Sage Mode and the risks involved just in learning how to use it, there are other methods:

Members of Jūgo's clan can passively absorb natural energy, mutating their bodies. But because they cannot control the chakra they are creating, they tend to go into berserk rages.
Orochimaru experimented on the enzyme responsible for these rages, and uses that as the basis of his cursed seals, which absorb the wielder's chakra and in return feed them Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra.

Trivia

In the anime, the sound of natural energy being gathered to form senjutsu chakra is the same as the one used for the healing green chakra of the Mystical Palm Technique.
The word senjutsu (仙術) uses the same hiragana (せんじゅつ) as the Japanese art of scrying (占術), possibly an allusion towards Sages' ability to sense while in Sage Mode.
In the ninth Naruto OVA, use of senjutsu during the Chūnin Exams is against the rules due to it giving Naruto Uzumaki an unfair advantage.

-Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own [[chakra]] (created from spiritual and physical energy within the shinobi). This adds a new dimension of power to the sage's chakra, resulting in the creation of {{translation|"''senjutsu chakra''"|仙術チャクラ|senjutsu chakura}}. 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 {{translation|[[sage]]|仙人|sennin}}. Currently, there are two known ways to learn senjutsu: One being to learn from the toads of [[Mount Myōboku]] as [[Jiraiya]] and [[Naruto]] have done, and the other from the [[snake]]s from the [[Ryūchi Cave]] where [[Orochimaru]] and [[Kabuto Yakushi]] learned it. The [[Orochimaru's Juinjutsu|cursed seals]] that Orochimaru has used in the series also use senjutsu chakra.
+* [[Orochimaru]] experimented on the enzyme responsible for these rages, and uses that as the basis of his [[Orochimaru's Juinjutsu|cursed seals]], which absorb the wielder's chakra and in return feed them Orochimaru's senjutsu chakra.
-A third form of senjutsu is also known, used by [[Hashirama Senju]]. Unlike previous methods, Hashirama doesn't display any animal traits. It is unknown where he obtained his senjutsu style.<section end=summary />
-== Training ==
-[[Image:Perfect Balance.PNG|thumb|left|Jiraiya training to master senjutsu.]]
-According to Fukasaku, only those who already possess "extreme chakra levels" can utilise natural energy to invoke senjutsu.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 412, page 11</ref>
-The user is required to balance his/her physical and spiritual energy with the natural energy he/she gathers from nature; [[Gamakichi]] compares the process to adding an extra flavour to a chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream. 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. They can use a special toad oil that allows the natural energy to enter their body, but this oil only exists in liquid form in Mount Myōboku's atmosphere. The oil evaporates if it is taken outside, thus rendering it useful only for learning purposes. If the user takes in too much natural energy, the user will start to turn into a toad and, eventually, turn to stone. The petrified remains of one-time apprentice Sages who failed to master senjutsu are spread throughout Mount Myōboku.
-Getting hit by a special staff during the transformation will reverse the toad 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 toad 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''".
-== Sage Mode ==
-{{main|Sage Mode}}

-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.
-Jiraiya had trouble using Sage Mode, as he slightly turns into a toad whenever he uses this form. This involved his nose and eyes (although the eyes can be excluded because as Fukasaku said the "''toad eyes''" are always present in Sage Mode being the sign of a true Sage) changing to a more toad-like appearance. Also, he grows a goatee just like Fukasaku's and his fingers and toes are toad-like. In order to use Sage Mode in combat, Jiraiya relies on Fukasaku and Shima to gather natural energy for him.
-However, Naruto, who has just learned how to sense natural energy and create sage chakra, only has reddish-orange pigment markings around his eyes and horizontal, golden slitted-pupils, showing his mastery over his Sage form. Naruto is able to use his Sage chakra very well, demonstrating the ability to lift a giant toad statue with his Sage chakra augmenting his physical strength soon after his induction to senjutsu. In order to use Sage Mode in combat, Naruto uses [[shadow clones]] to gather natural energy for him and then has them disperse to transfer their natural energy to him.
-At some point after he integrated [[Orochimaru]]'s DNA into his own body, Kabuto Yakushi went to the [[White Snake Sage]]. Under its tutelage, he learned senjutsu which enables him to use Sage Mode, which Orochimaru had also done in the past. While in Sage Mode, he gains darker pigment around his eyes that are similar to a snake's, as well as four horns. His senses are also dramatically increased, to the point of being able to dodge an arrow from [[Sasuke]]'s [[Susanoo]]. Combined with his research and duplication on [[Jūgo's clan|Jūgo clan]]'s ability to [[Sage Transformation|passively absorb]] natural energy, Kabuto can gather natural energy indefinitely even while moving in combat.
-Hashirama Senju can also use Sage Mode. In this mode, he retains all of his normal physical characteristics except for a dark pigmentation both around, and underneath his eyes, a dark, circular marking also appears on his forehead. Hashirama's abilities were drastically increased. This was witnessed through the use of his [[Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands]] technique which created a gargantuan, many-handed structure which easily dwarfed several mountain ranges, as well as [[Kurama]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 621, pages 11-12</ref> Hashirama can also perform Sage Art: Gate of the Great God, a technique that can bind a creature as powerful as the Ten-Tails. Like the toad and snake-taught Sage Modes, the user has to stay still for a certain amount of time so they can gather enough natural energy to form the special senjutsu chakra. Thus, the user is left vulnerable while doing this.
-During the final battle with [[Obito Uchiha]], it was discovered Senjutsu attacks in Sage Mode could not only damage the newly transformed [[Ten-Tails]] [[Jinchūriki]], but his [[Yin-Yang Release]] [[Ten-Tails Chakra Weapons|chakra weapons]] couldn't nullify or protect him from senjutsu.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 642, pages 14-15</ref>
