Darn, probably too late to ask.  Now I'll never know which it is.
"Sage or SAGE may refer to:"
    -Sage (sophos), a Stoic wise person and/or figure
    -Rishi or Sage, a Hindu seer of Vedic hymns or divine human being
    -Wise old man, a kind, wise, paternal figure, often archetypal or stereotypical
    -Tetradymia canescens ("Spineless Horsebrush", informally called Black or Dark Sage), a shrub of the sunflower family Asteraceae

     -SAGE (computer), a computerized command and control system used in the USAF Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) air defense network

I guess "Spineless Horsebrush" is the closest full name match, but the Naruto idea is more anime...
