I have a character named Soria Tetsukuzu-Senju (aka Soria of the Forest). He's technically a sage because he passively absorbs natural energy from nature (plant life) and he has an intimate bond with nature (flora specifically), hence his alias and partially his ability to manipulate plants.So yeah. Technically, a sage is just someone who absorbs natural energy and uses it for jutsu. The animal sages just tend to have an advantage since they also get to take on traits of their summon(s) giving them additional physical characteristics.
