A couple days had passed since Yuto fought the Chaos King Archfiend. He was now at Hawk's Peak, home of the Hawk Summon Clan as he was now training on mastering Sage Mode. Yuto was meditating in the center of a valley where the wind blows very fiercely and can knock someone around. Yuto's Task was to stay in place for a whole day. Never moving by own power or by the wind. Yuto was using his Chakra mixed with Senjutsu to stay in place. He was also forbidden to use Kurumi's Chakra to help him since this was a task, he needed to do himself.
"It has been an hour since he started this." Kurumi said as she was out of the seal so she wouldn't distract Yuto from his task. She was holding onto Daito's pieces as Yuto was forbidden to have him as well as most of his clothes outside of a simple pair of pants.
"Since he has a long of Chakra this task will be well, I would say easy, but he will still struggle with it." Kaze said.
"Since it is impressive that he managed to stay in place for an hour on his first try." A wise old male voice said. The one who said it was a humanoid Hawk who was 10 feet tall with a long feather beard and his feathers were the colors of a faded sunset. This is the Grandmaster Hawk Sage Kazenoshi the grandfather of Kaze.
"Yuto will pass this. He's not the type of person to give up when people are counting on him." Kurumi said.
"You're right. As long as I have known Yuto when it comes to the people who needs him, he will never let them down for as long as he lives." Kaze said proud of having Yuto as his Clan's Summoner and his friend.
"I hope you are right." Kazenoshi said to his grandson.
"How many other trials must Yuto do?" Kurumi asks.
"A couple more with the third trial being the hardest." Kazenoshi said.
"The hardest?" Kurumi questions.
"Yuto must face his Dark Side." Kazenoshi said. "His Dark Side will know everything Yuto does and will be as powerful as him as well."
This made Kurumi worried.
(With Oda)
Oda was with Yamikumo and several other spiders.
"Oda to master Sage Mode you need to pass three trials." Yamikumo said.
"Three Trials?" Oda questions.
"That is correct. Your first trial is to enter the temple and get pass the labyrinth while avoiding or defeating the spiders and traps within." Yamikumo said.
"This is going to be tricky." Oda said frowning.
"There will be areas where you can rest and take care of the call of nature. Some areas will have food and clean drinkable water." Yamikumo said. "But you cannot stay in them for more than 20 minutes."
Oda nods and enters the temple. She walks before she finds the labyrinth. Oda takes a minute to calm herself before she enters the labyrinth.
(With Yakumo)
Yakumo was at Raging Tides with Umi training to master Sage Mode.
"Your first task to master Sage Mode is to reverse this group of whirlpools and stop them. You must stop all of them and keep them stop for 1 hour." Umi said.
"All of them?" Yakumo questions.
"Yes, but they will reset two minutes so you must keep them still as you calm the other ones." Umi said.
"This will be tricky." Yakumo said as she prepares herself to do the task.

(Scene change)
Yuto was sweating as he holds back his hunger, his urge to answer nature's call, and the fierce wind.
(Scene change)
Yakumo was sweating as she tries to stop a whirlpool and keep it stop as she moves onto another.
(Scene change)
Oda was carefully testing the ground with a long bone staff when a horse sized spider appears but Oda quickly knocks it out with a hit on the head from the staff.
(Scene change)
Yuto finally lost concentration after six hours and falls down from the stone as he breathes out in disappointment. But he gets back up and decides to get some food and take care of nature's call.
(Scene change)
Yakumo falls down in exhaustion as she ran out of her Chakra to keep going even with Senjutsu but she did stop five whirlpools and kept them stopped before trying to get the sixth one.
(Scene change)
Oda was cornered by several spiders before she creates a large bone hammer and bone armor before she enters Sage Mode and fights against the spiders.
