The ocean winds hit the broken rocks of Uzumaki Island.
Maria checked her scroll. "He's been in deep chakra suspending state for twenty-five minutes. But his pulse keeps shifting."
The air vibrated. His body was still. But inside…
—
Inside Indra's Mind Space...
He opened his eyes.
He was… in a woman's body.
"What the…"
Someone pulled his arm. Clothes already torn. He screamed — not from pain, but helplessness.
The sky broke.
He was in another setting. A weak girl again. Captured. Abused.
Again.
And again.
Killed. Revived. Dragged to another nightmare.
🔥 Slash. He killed a bandit.
But the nightmare restarted.
This time, a brothel. Every night, strange men. Powerless. His mind screamed for control.
He tried suicide inside the dream.
Restart.
Then again. Restart.
His fists didn't work. His chakra failed. His voice wasn't even his own.
For the first time in centuries, Uchiha Indra panicked.
Not from pain. From powerlessness.
He dropped to his knees.
"Who is it…"
"Who's doing this—!"
"Show yourself!!"
The world froze. From the broken sky, someone like him appeared—his face. His old clothes. A more emotional, young version of him.
"I am the fear you left behind."
Indra looked up, breath uneven. "What fear?"
"Fear of being powerless."
"Fear of being what you mock — a victim."
"You absorbed women. Took their essence for growth."
"Yet feared becoming one. You disrespected what you secretly feared most."
Indra's hands clenched slowly. "That's not true... I never forced anyone who didn't choose it."
"You believed power makes your actions right. But what are you without that control?"
"Silence."
"You've thrown away everything human. I'm the conscience you left behind in your hunger."
Indra stood.
"Then I don't need you anymore."
Chains erupted around the manifestation.
A mental seal square formed midair. The Four Symbols Seal lit up in red.
"What—?!" the soul copy gasped.
Indra's voice was cold. "You're a leftover dream of my weaker years."
He slapped his palm over the seal lock.
"You're immortal trash for trying to guilt me now. You deserve prison."
"I—!" it shouted.
Too late.
Chains dragged the fear projection down into a holding cell glowing with red chakra rings.
Indra exhaled and he saw immortal sage frog in prison sealed like kurama.
" Uchiha!! Free me at once" ..
Then shouted up to the void above him—
"I've never forced a single woman!
I never used any chakra technique on unwilling ones.
I only accepted what was offered—and yes, many came to me.
If a single one of them had said no… I wouldn't even touch them."
"You think this projection and your giving me dream can turn me into something broken?"
"Wrong."
"I refined myself, wether women or men, I will become strong than previous self, absolute strength is my ultimatam..I'm not a beast."
Chains wound tight around the hovering illusion of a giant frog sage. Its face twisted, proud and cruel.
Indra stepped forward, voice cold.
"You immortal frog… you think I did not see through your trap?"
The frog sneered weakly. "You fall easy... trapped in illusions you dreamed yourself."
Indra's eyes blazed red.
"Someone planted senjutsu illusions on me when I slipped into sleep. They used your ancient arts."
The frog's form flickered.
"Do you know what you are attacking? The land of immortal toads. The birthplace of sage mastery."
Indra's hand clenched into a fist.
"I don't care. Today, I end all your frog lies."
"You cannot defeat what is eternal," the frog hissed.
Indra responded, voice low but harsh.
"You overestimate your immortality."
Around them, golden chains infused with sealing chakra glowed fiercely.
"I am attacking the legendary immortal frog land itself. Every frog underling, every secret art bound to it… will be wiped clean by my seal."
The mental prison chamber pulsed.
"I will capture you and imprison you deeper than any seal known. Not even the Six Paths will save you today."
The frog screamed, breaking apart into chakra dust trapped by the swirling seal.
Indra's voice echoed:
"I knew your games. You tried to break my mind with illusion. But now… I break you back."
—
The chains locked, and the dreamplanes shattered.
—
Back in the physical world
Maria gasped. "He just snapped open his eyes."
indra regained the control over this body..
