Does Naruto get a new sage mode in Boruto? Explained

Does Naruto have a different Sage Mode in the Boruto series?

Before we get into the details, let's first understand Sage Mode. This is a delicate transformation that necessitates a great deal of concentration and balance. Here, the user harnesses natural energy and blends it with their chakra, resulting in the formation of senjutsu chakra. This is a heightened state that multiplies their powers and allows them to perform new techniques. In order to undergo Sage Mode transformation, one must blend the right amount of natural energy with the appropriate amount of chakra.

If the natural energy intake is insufficient, the technique will not work. On the other end of the spectrum, absorbing too much natural energy causes the person to turn to stone. This is why only those with great chakra control attempt this transformation. Fans now want to know if Naruto has a different type of Sage Mode that grants him a new set of powers. While it is easy to become confused in this case, it doesn’t seem like Naruto has a new Sage Mode in the Boruto series.

The reason behind fans' confusion can be traced to an event that took place in Chapter 64 of the Boruto series. This was when Naruto was able to enter Sage Mode and attempted to locate Boruto’s location when Code had captured him. The protagonist was able to do so and located his son by sifting through the natural energy and went on to locate his son’s chakra. It’s not a different Sage Mode, but a different application of Sage Mode. The transformation isn’t different, but the way he is able to detect the natural energy and his son’s chakra is merely a different use of the Sage Mode. It seems like this confused a small part of the fanbase, which led to some thinking that he had a different type of Sage Mode.
