A little bit of correction: Sage Mode can be learned *at least* in two places. There may be other places too (as there are other types of summons) we just don't know about them. (Of course I'm not saying that it makes Kabuto a dragon.)

How are the summoned beasts related to sage mode? I mean does every summoned beast come from a place where their respective sage mode can be learned??
