On the outskirts of the Wind Tribe Village, Elise reveals to Corrin that the Wind Tribe refuses to let the group pass through their territory and will attack if the group sets even one foot on their land, to which Corrin tells Elise that he'll/she'll figure something out; Camilla states that the situation is bothersome, stating that the Wind Tribe is supposed to be neutral and reveals that cutting through their village is the only safe option the group has left, after which Elise reveals Camilla attempted to use her feminine wiles and failed to sway them and deduces the Wind Tribe hates Nohr, women, or only Nohrian women. Camilla, denying the use of wiles, states that Elise may have a point about the Wind Tribe hating Nohr, revealing that their village was attacked long ago by Faceless sent there by Nohrian mages and that there's probably little the group can do to win them over; Corrin states that he/she plans to reason with the tribe one more time and will apologize on Nohr's behalf if the Faceless attack still has them apprehensive and reveals that they have to earn the Wind Tribe's trust. Camilla asks Corrin what would happen if the tribe doesn't listen and tries to attack, to which Corrin states that he/she will be fine; Corrin states that they must end the war as soon as possible and don't have time to lose, but also states that as the wielder of the Yato, he/she has to do whatever it takes to bring peace to the world. Corrin states that things may take awhile, but he/she is certain the Wind Tribe will come to an understanding, to which Camilla asks Corrin to be careful.
A man named Fuga arrives on the scene, and states that he can see the determination in Corrin's eyes, after which Corrin begins to compliment Fuga and then asks him to introduce himself, to which he introduces himself as the chieftain of the Wind Tribe; Corrin states that he/she had no idea about Fuga's position and introduces himself/herself as a prince/princess of Nohr and asks to request an audience with him, to which Fuga states that he was informed of outsiders at the entrance to the village posing as Nohrian royalty. Moving closer, Fuga states that it must have taken great courage for Nohrian royalty to face him, and states that he will hear what they have to say--but not where they stand, as the winds cry out with ferocity nobody could hope to rival, but instead at his castle, Reppu; Fuga then states that he wants to learn information about the Yato Corrin wields, after which Corrin begins to explain about the Yato offscreen.
After Corrin finishes his/her explanation, Fuga states that he believes Corrin's aim and will allow his/her army to pass through the village once and will alert the villagers that the army are welcomed guests who are not to be disturbed, to which Corrin thanks Fuga; the talk about the Yato then resumes and Fuga reveals that he was once close friends with the Hoshidan king Sumeragi many years ago, but reveals that the Wind Tribe has since adopted a policy of neutrality in regard to the current war. Fuga then reveals that the Yato is the key to the Seal of Flames and that Sumeragi once warned him that the Yato could lead to the world's destruction in the wrong hands, to which Corrin states that he/she would never allow that to happen and reveals that the Yato chose him/her and reveals that the Rainbow Sage stated that it was his/her destiny to wield it; Fuga states that a test is in order and reveals that if Corrin fails, he'll pry Yato from his/her dead hands, to which Corrin brings up Fuga's promise of safe passage; Fuga reveals that he'll keep that promise if Corrin passes his test, to which Corrin states that he/she doesn't want to fight Fuga, after which Leo and Xander beg Corrin to take on the test and that they're behind him/her the whole way. Fuga notices Xander's Siegfried and Leo's Brynhildr and fires himself up for the upcoming test, and states that he will gather his best soldiers including one nearly as skilled as himself, calling Hayato onto the scene; as Hayato arrives, Corrin asks if he/she is expected to clash with a young child, to which Hayato rebukes Corrin's comment and introduces himself, with Corrin noting his confident beyond his size and states that he looks shorter than Elise--to which Hayato gets angry and asks Fuga not to let the tribe get away with being insulted, after which Fuga asks that Hayato get his revenge on the battlefield and asks that the most talented mage in the Wind Tribe's ranks show the Wind Tribe's might. Fuga states that the time for the trial has arrived, and that his fighters will be waiting outside the castle awaiting Corrin to come to fight head-on; preparations take place at this point. Once preparations are finished, the game will explain the stage's wind gimmick, after which the battle begins.
Once the battle ends, we witness Corrin and Azura in front of Fuga and Hayato; Fuga states that Corrin and his/her army fought bravely and that Corrin is worthy of wielding the Yato and that the Yato chose its wielder well. Corrin starts to express his/her happiness, to which Hayato notes Corrin's smile as ridiculous; Corrin states that he/she is glad that he/she can put his/her own doubts to rest, as he/she has struggled to the question as to whether he/she was worthy and to whether he/she chose the right path. Fuga asks Corrin not to worry as his/her power is beyond question and aim is true, and that he/she will always make the right choice and use the Yato for good no matter which path he/she walks or which kingdom he/she fights for, to which Corrin thanks Fuga and Hayato states that he must also accept Corrin as a hero; Hayato states that he won't lose a rematch, and that he's going to keep training until that happens, to which Corrin states that he/she needs to end the war quickly, after which Hayato bids Corrin good luck and Fuga states that he'll escort Corrin's group through the village. Azura asks Corrin if he/she is ready to approach the Hoshidan capital and states that the battles ahead will be their most difficult yet, to which Corrin states that he/she is as ready as he'll/she'll ever be.
