1. Why is your character obtaining Sage Mode?

In the Warring States, war was all you knew. In an effort to protect your clan, ensure your future, you sold yourself to the highest bidder, had some allies if you were lucky and fought it out for your whole life. This was the concluding part of the era of war that restarted after Hago died off by Indra and Asura.

The few friends you had were often very powerful. Thus, the strong connection and allies of the Senju and Uzumaki were not to be taken for granted. Clan partners side by side, Kachuu would use this unison to learn Sage Mode, to increase his power. To survive another day.

'''2. How will your character learn Sage Mode? Which animal will they learn it from?'''

Due to the strong connection between Senju and Uzumaki, they often trained each other (except in fuinjutsu). Battled alongside each other at times as well. Together they shaped each other into better shinobi. Kachuu was a result of this of course, with Uzumaki and Senju training. However his training was never done as he fought alongside them constantly.

Assuming Hashi had Sage Mode during Warring States first and foremost:

Several times as Kachuu, Ashina, Hashi and Tobirama fought alongside each other, Kachuu saw the usage of Wood Release and FTG in all their glory. Could this allow Kachuu to learn FTG at some point in time? Sure. (However, that's not my intention at this point, but my mind can change). Instead though, he was more amazed by Hashi's power. Enhanced by Sage Mode, his wood release was extraordinary.

This led to Kachuu's desires to learn it to enhance his Freezing Ninjutsu/nature transformation among other things, such as fuinjutsu. Under Hashirama, he would learn Sage Mode. A struggle at first, he would be forced to master it on the battlefield overtime. Mostly imperfect, it would later turn into a perfect Sage Mode like his mentor during the decline of Warring States before the first village was formed.

'''3. Initially, will your character have access to an Imperfect Sage Mode or a Perfect Sage Mode? If Imperfect, will it progress to a Perfect Sage Mode?'''

Initially imperfect. It would progress into Perfect and Kachuu could be classified as a Sage Master. However, even as a Sage Master he still got petrified and was lucky to be saved. (Uzumaki App).

'''4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for Sage Mode and/or Cursed Seal? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?'''

Going to do Sage enhanced Freezing Ninjutsu and nature transformation. Mostly Sage enhanced water release, more skilled in that than wind. Also Sage enhanced Fuinjutsu, I believe that is unique enough.
