Throughout the Naruto manga series, the titular character has gone through a number of different looks, but none are as cool as Sage Mode. Not only is Sage Mode an awesome design for Naruto, but it comes with a level of power that proves the look isn’t just for show. 

Naruto’s Sage Mode look made its debut in Naruto Chapter 375 by Masashi Kishimoto. Sage Mode is an empowered state that can be reached when one harnesses natural energy and mixes it with their own chakra, creating senjutsu chakra. Sage Mode allows the wielder to tap into the natural forces of the world around them and opens up new and incredible powers, including in a more recent development when Naruto used Sage Mode to sense his son Boruto’s location from an incredible distance which proved to be an upgrade to the Sage Mode ability.

Along with being an incredible source of power that has proven to be one of Naruto’s greatest techniques, Sage Mode also looks super cool. When Naruto uses it, his eyes grow darker and take on a red hue, plus he gets a pretty awesome costume change as well. The look isn’t dramatically different from Naruto’s original outfit, with the addition of a flowing red and black jacket and an intimidatingly large scroll that Naruto wears on his back. Both the serious attitude change and improved aesthetic make this look Naruto’s best look yet, especially when compared to some of his other iconic designs. 

Sage Mode is arguably Naruto’s best look, but it isn’t the only cool one he’s got. Another iconic outfit Naruto sports is none other than his classic look. Naruto’s classic orange jumpsuit turtleneck with his Hidden Leaf headband was at one point synonymous with Naruto himself back when he was first introduced, though it doesn’t stand up to his Sage Mode look in the slightest. Another regular costume is the new normal look for Naruto which was introduced in the manga series Boruto. Naruto’s Hokage outfit is the perfect mixture of his classic costume with added elements that speak to his achieved title. 

While his past looks have been impressive, none of them hold a candle to Naruto’s Sage Mode design. The ferocity of the look mixed with the power that it implies cannot be beaten and is truly a testament to how far Naruto has come since his debut. Sage Mode gives Naruto a serious edge while also simply looking undeniably cool. Naruto’s Sage Mode is still the Seventh Hokage’s best look, and when comparing it to his past outfits, that sentiment is easily proven true.
