Sage Mode is a very obscure power that only a handful of people have mastered in Naruto, even though it has been around since the days of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. In order for it to work, the user connects their chakra with natural energy. This in turn gives them the ability to create new jutsu and gives them more speed and strength beyond their natural threshold.
Mastering the art of sage is a very difficult process and only those who are geniuses can achieve this rare power. Because of this, there are only a handful of people who have this phenomenal ability. Hashirama is one of the strong individuals who could use this ability and is one of its best users. That said, there are a handful of people who are even above him.

These are some of the most significant upgrades in the world of Naruto
Obito Uchiha
The man who started the Great War
-
Sage Mode Type: Six Paths Senjutsu
Obito was a man who threw the world into chaos to achieve his goals. He was a very powerful individual who received the power of a god, and thanks to it he was able to easily match the ninja alliance. Moreover, his strength even surpassed the Kage who are known to be the strongest in their village. He was able to fight individuals like Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi and many others with no problem. He achieved this when he wasn't a full Jinchuriki and didn't have full control over his powers. Obito was able to accomplish this in a very short amount of time, which makes it even scarier. This begs the question of how powerful he would become if he became a full Jinchuriki for the Ten-Tails.
Hamura Otsutsuki
Ancestor of the Hyuga clan
-
Sage Mode Type: Six Path Senjutsu
Hamura is the twin brother of Hagaroma and is a character who hasn't made much of a splash. But in the anime, his upbringing is shown, from which it is clear that he was a phenomenal user of senjutsu. Compared to his brother, he is able to fight the Ten-Tails with only a few upgrades. Hamura only had a handful of abilities, but Senjutsu was his forte as he only possessed the Byakugan. This showed that his skill in this art was somewhat superior to his brother, as he was able to fight the Ten-Tails with little to no ability. In addition, he also possessed the Truth Seeking Orbs, further cementing him as one of the best Senjutsu users in existence.
