Do you think it is possible to practice sage mode without the help of the holy lands training by using precise chakra control? By creating a vaccum devoid of chakra at the ends of the tenketsu where the skin pore openings are. Then to fill the empty space or vaccum the natural energy will be automatically attracted inside. (High to Low pressure logic) By manipulating the vaccum characteristics the natural energy intake can be controlled. Maybe this could help stop the energy from invading the system and turning the user into stone. It could theoretically be a safe but difficult way to practice sage mode as it requires incredibly perfect chakra control. The MC could do this to get stronger.
How strong is he now? It's been more than a month since I last read it. Is he gonna learn Tsunade's chakra enhanced strenght and Lightning release chakra mode? If he combine those two jutsu, add his sharingan and snake sage mode is it possible to be Super Kage level? It's such a waste that Sasuke didn't bother learning Sage mode in canon.
I like this duel between Naruto and Sasuke, but I would have preferred that Naruto was defeated immediately. Naruto has a fatal weakness with Genjutsu. Sasuke should have won this clash in a few seconds. I understand that these are Chunin exams and therefore Sasuke must show him's abilities, but I think it's time to use Genjutsu.
