1. Why is your character obtaining Sage Mode?

Gekijou, a physical master, would obtain Sage Mode to enhance his taijutsu and bukijutsu, and I assume Nintaijutsu as well. (Yes, a physical master does not need Sage Mode per se, but this is just how I wish my character to go). It has been seen in canon that Sage Mode does enhance the body, and can enhance taijutsu like with the Frog Kata. I wish to take that a step further, essentially. Unlike most users of Sage Mode, Gekijou will use it mostly in order to enhance physical prowess, instead of focusing on enhancing ninjutsu.

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

He learns it from an animal, or rather, a Tailed Beast. A pseudo of Kokuou, he does possess a Kokuo consciousness within himself, much like Naruto did. Upon befriending the Kokuo part within himself, Gekijou would learn about Sage Mode, and learn how to use it himself from the Five Tails itself.

If your question is, can it actually do that? I believe it could, for the sake of this app. Or run him by the mechanics, and have him work it out himself. Kokuo (or even part of it), was apart of Hagoromo, Madara and Naruto as they were using the Six Paths Sage Technique. While you may be skeptical about memory transfer (bc the Kokuo part Gekijou has was sealed into him around the time Han was alive and Roshi), Hago did use Sage Mode.

My theory is that from this memory, that Kokuo (or part of it) could teach Sage Mode to its jinchuuriki if asked or so. It would be too strange (imo), as in my theory Tailed Beast chakra is closer to natural energy then most chakra, (why it is compatible with regular senjutsu chakra).

'''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?'''

It would be Perfect *is shot*, as he would spend a lot of time dedicated to Sage Mode usage. Yes, I know Jiraiya wasn't able to master Sage Mode himself entirely, but Naruto was able to (for example). I believe if he created a shadow clone dedicated to Senjutsu mastery, that trained daily on it, he could master it as well. (however, could do imperfect as well, if this is a problem)

'''4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he is approved for Sage Mode? 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?'''

Gekijou would use Sage Mode for mostly taijutsu and bukijutsu (along with Nintaijutsu), in a similar way to Frog Kata, among other things. Using the part of Kokuo as his partner in battle, he could essentially use it like the Sage Art Amphibian Tech, so he could maintain Sage Mode like few have done before. I also will combine Sage Mode with Kokuo to achieve a Tailed Beast Sage Mode, essentially Kokuo and natural energy combined. This would enhance his steam, boil and physical-related abilities.
