They used shuriken and kunai in the chuni exams all the time and no one ever bothered to rule against those. They even encouraged people to cheat in the written exam part since ninjas are all about deception.
How dare you use a small gadget on your arm to get a slight advantage during a tournament...

Sage Mode had sensing powers as well, just not "bad intentions sensing".
I wonder though, how much of a power-up was Sage Kyubi mode compared to regular Kyubi mode? I assume the jump in strength is lesser than regular Naruto to Sage Naruto, but it's probably still pretty big.

Naruto’s first exam was literally
>Yeah ninjas need to learn how to cheat to be good at being a ninja.
Though, given Naruto failed that test and didn’t learn the lesson, it makes sense he’s retarded and thinks cheating as a ninja = bad
Michael Anderson
He explicitly forbade their use for that exam and didn't want ninja to rely too much on technology rather than old fashioned training for everything, which even he did for his best shit despite the plot armor pet. There's nothing unreasonable about and I thought anons would agree this is straight up soulless and boring to become a focus rather than actually fucking using scrolls or any other tools again.
Aaron Morales
Jiraiya could do that as well
Carson Stewart
Yes, because scrolls require knowing how to seal and unseal things, like how Naruto could only summon a little frog at first
Justin Rodriguez
That’s exactly what I said

this new writer should be fucking shot, what a literal retard... just because you are a fangay for a certain genre doesnt mean you get to shoehorn it into a completely opposite genre
Ryan Stewart
The ninja tools ARE summoning scrolls. They're ninjutsu sealed inside small scrolls that can be loaded and used by the gauntlet.

Sage mode is broken. Naruto didn't even need the kyubi desu. Of course that was before Kishimoto's massive power creep during the war arc
