Hey, Dal. I would like Gekihen to have sage mode and before you throw stones, hear me out, It is not a Mt Myoboku cliché.

(1)How He Learnt It : 
 * After his disappointing elimination in the chunin exams and near-fatal injury, Gekihen became distant and sought power to prevent that from ever happening again. At the age of fourteen, his sensei; Udon, tried to give the boy a contract and enable him to use the summoning technique, but he refused and wanted to summon his natural affinity (let nature take it's course). Inevitably, he was reverse-summoned to the bears, where he was a threat and beaten to a pulp, but was spared in order to attain information, and eventually developed a relationship. Seen as a kind child who needed a nudge in the right direction, the bears offered to teach him to gather and use natural energy in order to help the boy be one with nature and stray from the path he was falling to. After a few weeks of living on leaves and berries (bleh), he finally mastered the Sage Mode of the bears and had learnt the Bear Kata, a similar version to the F-Kata with the exceptions that it is stronger and allows one to use Ninjutsu from a distance, thus launching surprise attacks.

(2)How he makes it unique:
 * By Incorporating the invisible energy (Bear Kata) to extend, he can use Kenjutsu (his best skill) through them without worrying about defence due to the rather long range.

I never applied here so I do not know what else is needed.
