Questions
1. Why is your character obtaining Sage Mode?
 * Essentially, I want Sage Mode for the massive physical upgrade that it supplies to the user, but more importantly I want Sage Mode to achieve a form a Self-Awareness. In Chinese Mythology, Neija is basically Chakra Control, which is essential to both samurai and kenjutsu users (martial artist in their own right). Now, Neijia is a derivative from Neidan, which is a form of internal alchemy revolving around the use of three energies, Qi, Jing and Shen which can roughly be translated to Natural Energy, Physical Energy and Spiritual Energy in the naruto world. By cultivating and meditating under these three energies, one can achieve a state of heightened self awareness, which is what I plan on using for Sannoto. 

2. How will your character learn Sage Mode? Which animal will they learn it from?
 * Where from? Well, that's simple. Sannoto learned it from the source of all Senjutsu itself, nature. Born as a kendo martial artist who utilizes Neijia, Sannoto was basically destined to learn it. By cultivating his own two naturally produced and enhanced energies within his own body, he soon became capable of sensing another energy in the present atmosphere, though it was very faint. Determined to learn more, he meditated constantly in the midst of nature to preserve and enhance his mind, just as martial artist do, when he accidentally stumbled onto it. In this act however, he was nearly turned to stone, in which took him to Mount Myoboku to learn under the tutelage of the frogs, toads. Whatever the hell you want to calm them. Meditation is the key its discovery in nature, but the toads taught him how to actually control the natural energy. So, I would assume frogs, but if you want to say nature that's fine too.

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?
 * Perfect Sage Mode, obviously.

4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she 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?
 * As mentioned above, I plan on using Sage Mode as a way for Sannoto to achieve a great deal of self-awareness and internal peace, since he will (As a natural Senju) will have plans on becoming an advocate for peace. So, in general I will use it for the obvious enhanced capability that it offers, but more of all I will utilize it for the extreme degree of self-awareness and internal preservation that it supplies as well.
